User Reviews for GuitarTuna: Chords,Tuner,Songs

Not accessible!!

The idea for this tuning app is a great one! The only thing is, it is not accessible to those of us who are blind. That’s why I don’t pay for a subscription. Not even the free version works that well!! And I have tried to talk to the developers with no results. I have done research and found out that I am not the only blind person who has tried to talk to the developers. Every time I use the app, the tuner stops working and I have to wait anywhere from a few minutes to three days before I get the screen that says allow access to microphone. Even then, it is not guaranteed I will get to the guitar tuner choice on the screen. It is frustrating and annoying I keep deleting it and starting over, still it doesn’t work!!! I use voiceover and I have an iPhone eight. Not only can I not use the tuner properly, but there are many things on the app that are not accessible!! The reason I bring up the iPhone is because my sister has an iPhone 11 and the app seems to work on her phone just fine. At least I know she can get to the tuning part of it. I don’t know about the rest, because she doesn’t use it.

I love this app!

This app has been amazing! Before I get into detail, this app has helped me learn so much, and I’m so glad I downloaded it. It has been the easiest way for me to learn chords. I first downloaded this app when I began playing guitar, to help keep it in tune. As I became more familiar with the app and my guitar, I started using the “learn to play chords” feature. When I was ready to learn new chords I purchased the full version. One of the best purchases I could’ve made. All of the features expand for the guitar. But, not all of the features expand for the ukulele. This is pretty disappointing. This app has been a foundation for me learning to play and I really wish they had the “learn to play chords” feature for the uke. Hopefully the developers are working on this! Honestly if you’re newer (or even experienced) to playing and are looking for an app to help you get your instrument in tune and learn new chords I’d recommend this app.

Secret weapon

I downloaded this app thinking it was just a standard guitar tuner. I used it for about 6 months just as a tuner. I needed to tune a 12 string acoustic for my dad and didn't have a 12 string tuner. I did a little exploring in this app and low and behold I found it actually has a setting just for 12 strings! It cut the time of tuning from ear to doing it off the app from 10 minutes + by ear to barely any time with using the app. So as I realized I hadn't takin advantage of the app as much as I should I started exploring even more. It's a gold mine of knowledge. Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome , games , chords, a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I got my dad an iPhone (first iPhone he's 65) and he always complained about how it was hard to use. I showed him the GuitarTuna app and he hasn't ever had any confusion with how to use it. I think that says a lot of how instinctive the user interface is if my dad can do it :P all in all I can't recommend this app enough. I literally tell all my guitar player friends to try it and not one has said anything negative about it. I love it! I can't imagine how the developers can make it better than it already is but something tells me they will! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!! Cheers!-Brad.

It does exactly what it needs to and has more

I’ve never used the extra features but from what I’ve seen they seem to work really well though I don’t pay the subscription for any of the extra stuff. They don’t bar any of the base functions behind a pay wall instead they have extra completely optional features that you can pay to get and they still take good care of the base app. It’s really useful for someone who just needs to tune their guitar really quick and is a lot less tedious than carrying around a tuner. Not to mention a physical tuner provides no more benefits than this app. I recommend all guitar players have this in their back pocket. The only thing it can’t do with the base app that I don’t like is that it can’t tune the strings in notes other than standard tuning. Though even so considering it’s free it’s still a really good tool to have considering the convenience it offers since you’ll have your phone on you most of the time anyway.

Great visual tuner- my go to tuner

I have loved this tuner since the first time I tried it maybe six or more years ago. I mostly use it for acoustic guitar and lately for ukulele. Obviously the free version (which is what I have only used) has ads and other irritations (and locked functionality) that would undoubtedly disappear for the pay version. But you generally do get what you pay for and for me when my clip on and other three dimensional tuners either have no power, dead battery or I lose trust in their accuracy or my own ears this is my main go to. As with any of the tuners using built in microphones for input, as long as you can have relative silence when tuning this tuna is tops. Great visuals too - reminds me of kicking the football straight through the exact center of the goal posts to score a field goal or extra point after a touchdown. Except a bell like tone rings in E and both posts light up when you are exactly in tune. Kinda like when the football referee signals a touchdown - holding both arms straight up above him clearly letting the crowd know the team scored - and your specific string is now in tune. Get the free app.

Completely RUINED a great app

I’m sure that I’m not alone when I say that I downloaded this app (years ago, mind you) because I needed a guitar tuner. The app filled that need. It was great—open app, app opens (immediately) directly to tuner, the tuner worked, and the app stayed out of your way—perfect. Unfortunately, the dev has now introduced a bunch of features that have made the app slower and intrusive. Now, the app opens to a loading screen. You sit and wait. When the tuner finally comes up and you can start tuning—Hey! You know what’d be great!? If a modal (popup) window overlaid the screen (and the tuner, which is dimmed due to this) prompting the user to use one of the new features! You know—the features that the user intentionally skipped and didn’t go into the menu and select because they didn’t want to use them—they simply wanted to tune their instrument… Yeah, wouldn’t that’d be great?! If you think so, you’re in luck! Because that’s exactly what the app does now. Oh, what’s that? You want ads now too?! Boy, have I got the app for you! The dev will likely try to justify the ads by saying that they pay for the development costs… Yeah, the dev costs of the new features literally no one asked for. There were no ads when it was a simple app. It could have and should have been left alone! I already deleted the app, as have all of my friends. Colossal misstep, devs!

Versatile and very usable

The tuner provides great visual feedback during the tuning process, and is rapidly responsive. It is a bit sensitive to environmental noise, even using a contact microphone, so works best in a relatively quiet setting: people in the room are fine, but several instruments tuning near each other is a problem. I'm guessing the iOS sound input system has a lot to do with this; perhaps the best the app can do is try to focus hard on the pitch with highest amplitude. In terms of design, the tuner is very informative. Being tied to an instrument profile allows it to give clear direction, though it may mean that you need to purchase one of the profile sets to get the data for your instrument. The only thing I miss for this function is a chromatic tuner, since it's sometimes nice to place a pitch you're hearing. The chord library is very rich, if you play a guitar. The metronome is handy as well. I don't use the games or song exchange. The topics look interesting, though. Overall, if you're willing to make the modest investment in the expanded tuning profiles and don't absolutely need the ability to display an arbitrary pitch, it's an excellent choice as a tuning and reference utility.

Ads ads and more ads

For context, I got GuitarTuna years ago when it was free before it was acquired by yousician. Even though standard tuning was free, I play drop tuning a lot and purchased it then for about $4, and thank god I did. Now I am diving deep in experimenting with tuning and when I checked to purchase open for what I assumed the same price. They wanted me to pay $8.99 a month just to tune the guitar, ridiculous. But okay, fine, they have to make sales whatever, so let me just use the power tunings I have available? Nope. When I open the app, there’s an add inquiring me to purchase full access for a bunch of features, dude I just want the tuner. I must’ve closed the ad about a thousand times now. And you’ve guessed it, if I don’t want to see it anymore I’ll have to pay $8.99 a month for something I already purchased. Even more annoying, after I’m done tuning, the system recognizes it and forces me to try and playa song with chords, so I have to put my guitar down, walk up to my phone that’s in my desk and press the x. Super inconvenient and tacky way of trying to force someone to makes purchase. They should have the option to remove ads for someone THAT ALREADY SUPPORTED THEIR BUSINESS AND MADE A PURCHASE TO REMOVE ADS ALREADY

Amazing!!😁😁😁🐠

This app has helped me many times and I have to tune my instruments a lot. I play the Ukulele and Guitar and I never have a problem tuning it.I don’t have the ability to tune and instrument by ear at all so I really needed this.I downloaded a few tuning apps and all of them were about the same. There was chords and it had to listen to try and tell you when it is right. But that’s about it, and most of them had pretty poor audio. Than I decided to use this app because I heard of it but I thought it would be the same and people just overreacted about a simple guitar tuner.Soon after when I downloaded the app my mind changed almost instantly. There were so many instruments to choose from and it has great audio and there is more than just tuning guitars. More musicians should discover this tuning app because this app helped me a lot and without it I would still be having my half sister toon it by ear whenever she comes.Thank you for this wonderful app it has helped me a lot and there is no way to say how good this app is. It is amazing and I recommend this to anyone with an instrument or instruments that they play a lot and need a tuner for. Honestly, this is amazing! -Kt

Used to be a good app

This app used to be a good tuner but now it’s bloated with useless features and a subscription. This is the problem with these types of developers, can’t leave well enough alone. They think they are doing a great thing by bloating the software and adding a subscription. Could you imagine paying a subscription to a tuning device bought at the music store? I want a comprehensive tuner, not games and play along lessons. Split the app in two. A separate tuner and a subscription based teaching app. If I remember correctly, it was a small fee to pay for a different kind of tuning like drop D. I would be happy just to pay a small fee for a particular tuning and be able to keep that. A subscription for a tuner is cost-ineffective. I’m starting to think this app was designed by a physical tuner company pushing you back into buying and using a physical tuning device. I am not going to pay a subscription just to get drop A tuning for my seven string guitar. It’s not going to happen because I’m not using any of the other functions. I’m not attempting any free trial that tricks you into actually subscribing either. Cut the fat and make a simple tuning app without the bloated features. I’ve noticed a handful of reviews being lowered, because users from the app’s early days have come back and found the bloated app with a subscription to be less than satisfactory.
