It is a well-thought-out utility, and the most effective I may handle to dig up in my capability as an beginner guitarist {and professional} app recommender. It even has a built-in metronome.
There are different stable choices on the market. Jon’s Tuner for iPhone additionally works fairly nicely, and is clear, however does not supply the identical flexibility by way of different tuning schemes. The Android model of Jon’s Tuner, which I discovered reference to on-line, appears to be lacking from Google Play. There’s a stable Android different, although: Tunerly, which is totally open supply. This app affords a easy consumer interface and settings, permitting you to decide on particular tuning schemes.
