Better than others

I was a fan of Guitar Toolkit, before it was abandoned by the developer and stopped functioning. That app cost $10, which I still consider a worthy investment considering the length of time I used the app. I downloaded GuitarTuna, and deleted it immediately when I opened it for the first time as saw it had a monthly subscription signup required to use it at all. Not cool. I would have paid a one-time fee, but a subscription doesn’t make sense for a tool that should operate standalone on my phone. This app works, and it appears to actually be free. Don’t listen to the reviewers who claim they broke a string trying to tune with this app. Definitely a user malfunction, if not trolling. As far as the aesthetics of the app, I would prefer an analog-style needle to the horizontal line guide, but it doesn’t change the function. The green box indicating “in-tune” is a bit loose, but the center line is on pitch. I recommend this app because it works as advertised within the limits of the iPhone microphone, and it’s actually free with no subscription paywall bullish¡t.

It is so good

I got the app last year and I have been using it ever since. I honestly don’t have any problems with the app. The app listens to it so nicely, and I even got my guitar teacher to check if it was tuned and IT WAS!!! I love it so much, if you are deciding to download the app do so. Tbh I had my doubts and thought that it wasn’t listening or just didn’t tune it right, but I was shocked that the app was made so nicely. Thank you Simply Tuner for making Tuning much easier. 🙏 I have no need to try to learn the cords because I have classes but if you do there are tons of other Reviews to read from. Hopefully you find what you are looking for..

DO NOT INSTALL TO TUNE YOUR BASS

I hate to leave negative reviews and this app is not the worst, it proves quite well when using to tune a guitar and I use this app to tune it. However, if you own a bass I heavily suggest not to use this app for it. Not only is it super difficult for the tuner to even pick up a sound (I’ve tried it at max volume), whenever it does it will bounce around saying that it’s 2000 or even 3000 Hz too high or too low. When it says the strings are in tune there’s a 50/50 percent chance that reading is actually accurate. P.S. I’ve dialed my bass and my amplifier knobs every which way just to get the same result every time.

So cool five star

Honestly, thought that this would be a mess up but this is really good. It’s honestly very free. It doesn’t contain any crap because like I was just trying to look for something to tune my ukulele and straight up. I downloaded the easy tune app and it costed money but then I downloaded this one and read the reviews and literally it cost no money I just literally did my call and it was very easy. It literally took maybe five minutes probably lower than that. It didn’t break any strings like they say it does. It doesn’t cost any money no crap five stars guaranteed honestly download it.

SimplyTuner (Guitar Tuner) Review

Love the app. The software that has gone into this app has been very beneficial to my learning. I am not good with tuning guitars, and this app has helped guide me to know what sounds “right”. This app is not only beneficial to me, but to my peers, friends, and classmates. The next person to use my guitar will have it already for them (tuning wise), and will be all set to go. This app deserves a 5 start review. It has really helped me, and others, and is very beneficial to our learning. Thank you to SimplyGuitar for providing a free, easy-to-use app. I couldn’t have gone this far without your app.

Best free tuning app

Not only is the tuner easy to use but you have almost every tune known to man… lol It kinda gets lost at first on the top string but as soon as you turn the tuning key it’ll figure it out… The rest are easy from there. Plus it’ll teach you chords and how to play some songs… I think it’s awesome for free… Honestly If they do make you start paying for service I hope they keep it affordable… That’s the problem with people and companies nowadays they want to get rich quick… But anyway, thanks for keeping it simple and free. 👍🏼

Functionally beautiful

This is easily the best tuning app I’ve ever seen. It has a big catalog of tunings, and it actually has C Standard and D Standard already listed. A lot of other apps I tried, you had to add it to the list and you still couldn’t seem to repeatedly play the string. I had to keep stopping the string. But with Simply Tune, it just works. I can put my phone down on the table and tune my whole guitar in seconds. I also like the visual when you reach being in tune. Very satisfying.

Cannot Tune

I found this app as my tuner finally died and wanted a better option than going out to buy a new stock of batteries. Spent 15 minutes trying to tune 1 string. Always too high or too low until it finally registered. Moved on to the second string same issue. So I’m done with that. I wouldn’t recommend if your trying to quickly tune your guitar to play. And I looked through the reviews to maybe find a fix, since there are so many positive reviews. Strikes me odd that there is a response to literally every review. And no I will not be going to whatever email you send. You’ve promised fixes for literally every person and I won’t fall into that. For the people that it works for it works. Just not for me. There’s my 2 pennies.

Best Tuner App Yet

I’ve used GuitarTuna for years, even paying for the Pro version for guitar and ukuleles in various tunings. All of the sudden it wants to charge me a monthly subscription, even though I’d paid for the full app. No thanks, GuitarTuna with your cutesy name. You violated my trust. Be gone off my phone! Enter this great app. Simply works with a nice intuitive interface and easy to see graphics. Nothing annoying, nothing futsy. Chromatic tuner is a bonus. I can already tell I love this. Thank you for a great app!

This app is annoying

I accidentally broke my tuner so I decided to download a app because I didn’t want to buy a new one I wouldn’t recommend this app I tried tuning my e string for 15 minutes it made no progress when it does though it’s always saying that it’s to low even though I can clearly hear it’s to high and it goes all over the place I would recommend just buying a tuner this app made me put down my guitar and made me lose inspiration and I’ve been using this app for months it isn’t the first time this happened sometimes I have to sit there for 30 minutes. It takes a really long time to get everything tuned. I think this app would be really cool if it wasn’t so bad.

Chord practice

I was practicing some of the chords and I noticed the practicing A9 the video tutorial the man in the video described using fingers 2 and 3 and then when I moved on to the practice tutorial it shows on the bottom right to use fingers 2 and 3, and the picture in the middle far left, it’s shows fingers one and two. I’m sure it’s whatever feels most comfortable for me while playing it, I just wanted let you know for whomever developing the application.

Great

I got a ukulele two weeks ago and all the videos and apps I watched and downloaded only helped a little bit. But this app was wonderful but my ukelele sound a bit high but still, it helped and all the other apps were so confusing but I don’t know if it’s just me. But I definitely recommend it but it takes like almost 30 minutes to do it but worth it- and I believe there is no cost!!!!

Best easiest app to use…… and its free!!!!

What a great app. And it doesn’t cost anything. never paid anything on this app.. and it’s reliable to a clip on tuner you figure with the open mic, you might get background noise or it may not tune it correctly, but they did it right with this app. I recommend it to everyone, please. A lot of different options mostly free so give it a try you just might like it just as much as I do.

Just what I needed

I have dabbled with guitars before, but could only play a handful of chords. I stopped playing for a while, but I saw this app and decided to give it a try. It was honestly such a great decision. I’m learning proper technique for chords and tabs, at my own pace. Tabs have always been daunting but my confidence is beginning to improve. I’m excited to see where this journey takes me. Thanks for reigniting my creative side ☺️

Great, but if you’re left handed…

Simply Tuning has been incredibly helpful to me, but also incredibly confusing, for when I tune, I have to go in backwards order from what it is telling me (because the strings on a left handed guitar are inverted from their normal position). It is also near impossible for me to learn chords and songs for that exact same reason. If I had one request it would be to ask that you add a setting to change that. Goodbye!

Reminds me of those days in 4th grade…

Where I, along with my 30 other classmates, were all given plastic recorders and early readers musical instruction booklets made from recycled paper. There may be more to it, but I know how to use a guitar tuner, I even made that known to the app (Yes). The automatic switch to the next string is TERRIBLE. A guitar tuner set to make you out of tune. Note sounded in E but not when tuning the guitar to Eb. I don’t know, maybe there’s some settings that will correct these issues and if so I will revise my review. It is odd, just in general, that apple asks for a review 45 seconds after opening the app.

Easy to use

It’s easy to use. Doesn’t cost anything you can use the free plan. It’s cool. Try others and they always want you to pay pay pay pay pay, and this one doesn’t do that. It doesn’t pop up with commercials every time in the middle of you trying to tune your guitar. I think that’s the best feature besides that it’s easy to work. I like this app.

Awesome app, but needs bug spray

I really like this tuner app. This is the only tuner app I know that is accurate and lets me access other guitar tuning configurations for free (and it comes with a chord library to boot). My only complaint about the app is that whenever I try to tune my A and low E strings, the app gives ridiculous readings saying that those strings are 3000+ tones too high. Please fix this problem, I really like this app.

How simply guitar helped me

This app is freaking amazing… Hi my name is Drew I am 14 and after my brother moved away I could not get GOOD help to practice my guitar but then I looked up a tuner and saw simply guitar and I thought I would try it so I downloaded it and I tuned my guitar and got curious I looked at songs and then practice cords and I instantly feel in love with the app so my recommendation is definitely buy this app it will help you so much. Thanks simply guitar

Perfect free tuning app

It works perfectly. It’s not full of annoying ads and it’s free. The least I could do is leave a review and say thank you. If an app they could easily charge money for and people would gladly pay for it. Coming from someone that has played for 30 years and normally tunes by ear, my guitar does sound MUCH better when dialed in perfectly. Thanks again!

Simple, Easy, No Ads Tuner

I started searching recently for a new tuner app after getting tired of (app that shall not be named) pushing them over and over. Downloaded this as I know simply piano and liked the “no ads” promo. And I’m more than impressed. Multiple tunings. Chord practice. Songs. I’ve found the new app I will be recommending to my students for the foreseeable future

Good

I wrote a review a while back about how it stopped worked after using it for a couple times but ever since it’s improved and I always use this app to tune my guitar , I found that if you try to tune your guitar while having distortion it will not pick up the thickest string so just go into a clean sound and it will have no problem

Best guitar tuner!!

Typically don’t write reviews, but I can’t express how amazing this app is. A couple years ago I bought a small tuner but it didn’t help me that much, I recently got back into guitar and I wanted to play Open D tuning but I couldn’t find any good apps that had Open D for free. This app has so many tunings so I can literally play my favorite songs. I love love this app.

Pausing videos

I‘ve only used this app for about 5 minutes, buuuuut I like it. I‘m glad I don’t have to pay 30 something dollars to learn guitar… for one week. The one feature that I either haven’t figured out or that doesn’t exist is pausing the videos. I‘m kinda dumb and have trouble figuring out chords, so I’m doomed unless I can pause these videos

1 addition

I use this app every time I sit down to play. It would be the attest tuning app in the known universe if it could do this one thing. When I’m tuning and pluck my string it automatically goes to th next one even if its + or -3 for example. And I’d rathe have the option to choose when I’m ready to move onto next string. Otherwise awesome

Works great - No adds

I’ve been using this app for a while now. I’ve had no problems with it. It also worked for my bass player, and he said these kind of apps don’t usually work for him, so he was surprised. There are extras that come with the app, but I have not purchased it. I just us it to tune my guitar, and it works great.

Love it!

I inherited a guitar and I’ve been wanting to play for a very long time and I’m finally starting to really get into it now, this app is very helpful with tuning if your gonna tune a guitar use this app! All I ask is they add Zach Bryan songs to the learn a song part of the app and cadd9 broken window serenade would be a nice song to learn also!!

Amazing but get some Kurt in there

This is a generally great app with great tuning you can tune many instruments but I want some more songs. Come as you are by nirvana is a great song and you should add to the song list, maybe Evan through in a little more like breed or smells like teen spirit. It would honestly make it a much better app. Thank you.

Best tuning app hands down

I’ve downloaded ALOT of tuning apps. This one is leaps and bounds ahead of the others, simply because you can access all the different tunings, without paying a fee. Other apps you get standard tuning, and that’s it, then they want $50 a year. Not happening dude, this one you can’t go wrong with

READ THIS

I really want to learn guitar so I got my brothers guitar and was trying to learn so I got the app because the ads were so cringing so annoying and wouldn’t shut up the app and it wouldn’t even let me play anything because it said I had to pay and plus I don’t wanna play no $11 a month just to learn an instrument plus the tuner even work because it said one of my strings was “tOo HiGh” when it was perfectly in tune and the app wanted me to tune it so low that my guitar string broke (ngl) so don’t buy the app

Best for the money $0

I have a clip tuner but sometimes that’s not always on me so when I run into random people at after hours at their house and they have a guitar but it’s not in tune or even have a pick this tuner keeps me on track for free. Couldn’t ask for a better free app being an acoustic strummer.

Guitar players new and old will love it!

Simply tune is awesome! I am a new player trying to learn how to play the guitar, and I absolutely love this app! It helps me tune my guitar quickly and it has songs to play along with! It can help players who have just started, or have been playing for years! This is an amazing app!

I don’t write reviews

But I will write one for this. The fact they let you tune to most of the main turnings is incredible. I also love the chord book. It helps sooo much. And it doesn’t go into complicated jargon Just here is the A5. Now A7. You killed it guys. So now I am retrying the simply guitar app. Xx fingers crossed for me. Keep it up.

Best tuner

I have been looking around all day for the right tuner for an electric guitar and this is the only one that gets the job done. We were extremely frustrated after receiving a new Stratocaster and this is the one that gives us the right tone. I am very impressed and I love this app.

Simply Wonderful

I love this app! Very straightforward and helpful, I’m just starting to explore it but I love the sensible, simple tuner design with all the tunings I could ever want and an in-app chord book that makes things really accessible. So many ch better than anything else I’ve tried. Thank you!

First time user

First time that I’ve ever used this app. Originally I was just looking for a tuner but found chords and lessons too. So far the tuner is a spot on match for my D’Addorio Equinox tuner. I’m not only new to this app but to learning the guitar too. I couldn’t be more pleased and can see me using this app a lot.

My Go To Tuner

I am amazed at the variety. I think the only drawback would be if you have a baritone ukulele, and the practice chords they give you are definitely for a standard ukulele tuning instead of the standard baritone ukulele. I think overall this is the best tuner available for multi instrumentation

5 months ago, enpowerin

Good

Overall this is good because you can change to dune in different keys like drop d, which I use for heavy metal songs, but it tends to shoot around from way too high to way too low, and takes a couple tries to get right. This might just be because of my crappy phone, but overall very good.

This app is amazing

This app helped me practice all the chords I required to learn my favorite songs. The tuner is also very helpful. The fact that all these features are free js goes to show how brilliant this app truly is. I would give this app a 10 stars out of 5 if I could.

8 months ago, Winner#4ever

Pretty good

I think this app is quite good for tuning when your guitar is a little out of tune, but when there is a huge problem with the tune of your guitar, it can get confusing. I still think this is a very well done app though. I’m only 10, but it made tuning my new guitar a lot easier. Thank you!😁

New Features / So Many Tuning Options

Been using this app for yeeears!!! Had never before today noticed there are all these tuning options to turn to different keys and concepts for playing. Very fun playing around right now.

just one issue 😅

hi! this app is pretty good and the tuner works but the only thing we need to fix is the feedback on playing ur instrument. i thought i was doing good until my ukulele sounded weird and said it was right. then i played differently and it still said it was correct pls fix this 🥲 this is a pretty good app Thank you for reading 😁

Is there a catch?

This is probably the first app review I’ve ever written, but a working tuner app that doesn’t try to charge you and has alternate tunings? Yes please! I feel like they’re probably going to move to a paid model at some point, but I like it now!

Incredible Technology!

Just so simple and easy to use. I really like how they’ve visually set this tool up by the use of ur cell phone that you always have with you…unlike your guitar tuner not always being around when you need it.🎸🙌🏼🎵

Forward to the Past!

Long ago I was a Hippie and a folksinger. Then I spent 4 years in art school and began freelancing doing illustration. My time to play & sing became limited and over the decades I drifted away from it. Well, fifty years on I saw a nice steel string guitar in a shop and bought it. Some things came back, but the chords had gotten foggy in my memory, as well as the technique of tuning. I no longer owned a pitch pipe. When I discovered this helpful app it showed me the way forward, and it’s always at hand when I need help. That’s what friends are for!! Liz Delgado

Best tuner for iOS period

I’ve tried almost every tuner app since they invented the darn things and this one is top notch, it offer every tuning I would ever want to use and it’s free! NIOTE TO DEVELOPERS: Please Don’t Start Charging , this the only one that lets you use different tuning for free, and we love it!

Just too easy and accurate!

I’m a beginner so I purchased a tuner. While waiting for it to get here I tried this app. I returned the timer. I am learning online and it is just to easy to open my IPad and tune it here and then go to my lesson site and begin learning. Excellent app!
