Best Tuning App Ever
MaddProfessor
“I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.”

Verse 1
Am
Woke up in the '20s and there were
Esus4
flappers and fruits in white suits
Am
And it was right before the crash,
we got thrashed throughout the '30s
Queuing up for soup with scabby
Esus4
sores
Am
Then they sent us off to war
Verse 2
Am
We came back in the '40s and there
were wheelchairs, guns and tickertape
Esus4
We poured it on the floor and we made
Am
love to the interstates
We got shiftless in the '50s, holding
hands and going steady
Esus4

Twisting into dark parts of the large midwestern

Verse 3
Am
Tripped right through the '60s with some
Esus4
blissful little hippie
Some Kennedy's got shot while you were
Am
screwing San Francisco
And the '70s got heavy,
we woke up on bloody carpets
Esus4
Got tangled up in gas lines,
Am
and I guess that's where it started
Verse 4
Am
The '80s almost killed me,
Esus4
let's not recall them quite so fondly
Some Kennedy OD'ed while
Am
we watched on MTV
And in the '90s we were
wired and well connected
Esus4
Put it all down on technology and lost
everything we invested

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
