GuitarToolkit - tuner, metronome, chords & scales for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not kept currentWas the best tuner I ever used. But they haven’t provided an update in 7 years and more the tuner doesn’t function. To bad..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner no longer worksUsed to be good tuner no longer works have deleted and found something else.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Not working on iPhone 14Have used this app for years, just payed for the upgrade, latest version of the app on new phone and the tuner won’t recognize pitch? I can see the mic is working but needle not moving.. not happy, upgrade needed!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Crashes constantlyI used this for years. I need to find a new tuner app. It crashes constantly. The metronome, scales, etc work but the tuner no longer does. That is what I use most often. I can get the tuner to work only if I do this work around. I click on the i. Then I choose high contrast. High contrast does not work. But when I go back to regular it works— temporarily. As soon as I quit the app and re-start it I have to go through the whole high contrast route again. Needless to say I am NOT happy with this app. My husband now has the same problem. I looked on the internet and a many many people have this problem. They did some update to this app that disabled it. If you are thinking of getting this app think twice. Sadly I don’t like the interface of many of the guitar tuners (They look like they are made for young rockers) so I hope they fix this. In the meantime I have to use something else..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Fix the bugs please?Tuning app doesn’t work straight off - you have to scroll through all the functions to make it work - I paid for this app many years ago and it seems the developers have just ignored it..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner StoppedLong time user. Frustrated that I’ve lost function for an app I paid for..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Useful app that has been abandonedThis app is the most useful guitar app for my songwriting and composition but unfortunately it hasn't been updated in a long long time, not much has changed in the years I've had it and I'm afraid I will eventually loose the projects I've made in this program. Wish the creators would invest in it and continue to develop it..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Was my go to app for guitarSadly it appears that the developer abandoned this app 6 years ago. Crucial elements no longer work on modern phones. To the developer: I would at least disable the purchasing options if your app no longer working properly so people are not misled into buying a nonfunctional app..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Apple “improvement” is a failure.Please return to a previous version which worked flawlessly. Mic is feeding back and the needle has disappeared..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Why?I've been using (and recommending) this app since first buying an iPhone in 2010. It always proved to be the best, but I'm very disappointed with the latest update: WHY has the the tuner's display been shrunken to such a degree? I really cannot see (quite literally) the point in this exercise. Please rectify this with the next update..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Hurry up and fix the tunerWas a great app until iOS 16 broke the tuner. Considering this is a paid app, it would be nice if the dev could fix this..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner freezes and messes up frequentlyAs per title..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Was the best tuner out thereJust upgraded to iOS 16 and sad to say it’s stopped working now. A real shame as it’s by far the best tuner out there. Super accurate and lovely interface — KISS! If dev still out there, please update bug fixes..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Don’t downloadThe tuner doesn’t work on latest iOS. I paid for this and it hasn’t worked for ages.. read the reviews.Version: 2.6.0
✓ GREED TAKEOVERThis paid app used to be so good back before the developers decided to constantly pester you for further purchases! Every single time I open the app this happens. Can I get a refund please because it's ridiculous!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Now unusable!The tuner which we all paid for and have used now shows up as a blank screen or without the tuning needle being visible. Are you going to fix it???.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Bummer ..use to be my only guitar appAs the other reviews suggest, the app is becoming nonfunctional. It’s has something to do with the mic because sometimes if u start the metronome and then switch to the tuner you hear crazy feedback, cool if you’re trying to make sound effects for a movie. The tuner is a 50/50 chance of working. To the developers—-pleassssse update your app!! It is literally the best portable guitar tool kit out there. We miss you 🥺.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Doesn’t work at all!It is so funny to make me pay more money for an app to tune my guitar when I already bought it years ago and then it just doesn’t work at all! Black screen! That’s so awesome to make me pay money for a black screen! Those other tunes are going to help me so much when the tuning window is a black screen! Haha, oh boy I sure can’t wait to play guitar in drop D by using the black screen to help me tune! Maybe I’m not feeling drop D, maybe I wanna do a half step down, sweet! Go ahead and select half step down so that way I can go back to the black screen to help me! Let’s use the metronome! Cause that’s definitely what I bought this for! Let’s play my out of tune guitar, but in perfect time! Sweet, now I can look at all the chords I can play after tuning my guitar using the black screen!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ No tuner, no problemI’ve had this app for around a decade now which is a pretty long time.. chord lib array is okay.. metronome function has most everything one would need to practice by themselves and includes the tap tempo function as well which is always nice 👍. However, for whatever reason there is one problem with the marginally accurate tuner [within 1-2 cents I believe] is actually working it sometimes just doesn’t.. there has been no app developer updates or presence, as far as I know. The way to get the tuner working again if there’s no pin in the tuner screen: •touch rhe (i) in the bottom right to access the “Tuner Settings” •then swipe “High Contrast Mode” •if this does not fix the tuner turn the High Contrast Mode off and then on one more time and it should work again at that point. Happy picking, y’all and peace 🙏✌️.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner no longer works, pityHave used this app quite a bit. Handy metronome but the tuner sadly has stopped working which is a shame as I’ve had to get another app for this..Version: 2.6.0
✓ No longer works; developer offlineI've been using this app since it was first available, back when the App Store first launched. It was great! Alas, the tuner no longer works. The app hasn't been updated in 6 years. When I tried to submit a bug report, I found that the associated website no longer exists. This should be removed the App Store. Don't waste your money..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Paid for the upgradePaid for the upgraded version of this sometime ago but the tuner has ceased to function and developers have not addressed this. Used to be a great app but without the tuner it’s just a chord library.Version: 2.6.0
✓ 4 Cents SharpI started using this App as my main guitar tuner several years ago because I always seem to have my iPhone with me, but apparently I never checked to verify how accurate it is, because just now, years later, I have discovered that this App is consistently tuning my lowest 3 guitar strings 4 cents sharp. The top 3 strings are spot on, compared to other tuners, but not the bottom 3. This happens both acoustically when tuning with the build-in iPhone microphone, and when I plug electrically directly into the iPhone. Any idea why this happens? I know I can shift the reference pitch, but that will only help me half the time. Why would it measure some strings right in tune, but others 4 cents sharp? I don't understand from a technical perspective how this is possible..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Now it’s totally unusableIt’s so sad, this was my go-to app for tuning for years! I saved many of my strange tunings on different instruments via this app and they’re all gone now. I can’t even use it to tune up. What on earth happened??!! I’ve been reluctant to delete it in case the developers change their decisions, but it really is a useless now… so so so frightfully sad… what on earth were they thinking??!!!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Why cost $6 then have in app purchase againOnly got this app for the tuner and metronome because eteacher recommended it. But disappoint it costs to download then also has in app purchase for god knows what. Even after buy “all” features has even more cost for chords?!? The pricing regime seems deliberately confusing.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Stopped workingThe tuner stopped working since the last update..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Rip OFFI just upgraded my app for $3.99Canadian. And now I can't even open my app and I do have a new iPad. I guess I should've read the reviews first..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Good App, but has limitations that can misinform your learningFor some reason, this app can not display a double sharp, so certain commonly used chords, like E7(#9), will tell you that the #9 is a G instead of an F## (or Fx). G is a b10 away from E, so their lack of a common naming convention could really confuse someone who is using this app to learn. Not expecting them to fix this, since there hasn’t been an update for two years..Version: 2.6.0
✓ No Longer Supported: Be warnedAs a few other reviewers have commented with the new release of iOS 16, the tuner stopped working. Was my favorite app for guitarists, and I recommended it to everyone. I didn’t even realize there hadn’t been updates for six years before I came to see if they were any new ones to fix the tuner issue. Unfortunately, I think this company is done working on this app. Will not work with the new iOS..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner doesn’t work?Used to be great, but now the tuner just doesn’t work, which is the whole point of the app for me. pathetic.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Used to be a great App: Tuner Stops WorkingThis was my one and only guitar app for years. Great tuner, great features. There have been no updates (that I know of) for years. The tuner stops working frequently, and now won’t work at all. I used to be able to restart my phone and it would work. I even removed it and reinstalled. No working tuner. I’d buy this app again if the tuner worked. Time to look for another guitar tuner. I’m sure there are plenty of good ones, but this one is no longer one of them..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Stopped workingI’ve used this tuner for years, now suddenly it doesn’t work at all. What happened?.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Please fix mic issueI’ve used this app for years and years. Now with the new iOS update I can’t use the app properly. Many users have reported this issue too..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner disappearsSure wish there were a bug fix available so the tuner doesn’t disappear after answering a call or playing a song using Bluetooth. Rebooting the phone will bring it back, but since all other tabs function normally the tuner should too. It’s otherwise a terrific app, with an extended set of tools..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Needs update !!!Love this app but neeeeeed an update please 🙏 ya girl can’t handle this dodgy tuner for much longer.Version: 2.6.0
✓ ICloud support would be aceHi folks, been a user of the freebie version for ages, but just discovered the excellent chord sheets functionality of the paid version. This will be brilliant for sharing arrangements with my band mates and as an aide memoire for me. However this is slightly spoiled by the fact that iPhone and iPad versions don’t sync so work I do on one does not appear on the other, so please consider implementing iCloud sync in future versions. Also, the ability to save a chord sheet PDF directly to files on iPhone/iPad would mean one could then easily import into BandHelper, as it is I’ll have to email a PDF to myself which is a little clunky.Version: 2.6.0
✓ DO NOT Purchase. No longer supported.Upgraded to iPhone 14. Updated all my apps in the process. GuitarToolkit will now not work as a tuner. If microphone is turned off the tuner screen shows correctly. When turning microphone access back on the tuner screen is just a grey box. Uninstalled and reinstalled, no change. I purchased this roughly 10 years ago and it is sad the Devs are no longer updating it! RIP ☠️.Version: 2.6.0
✓ TunerLike so many others, I got this for tuning. Now it let me down. Tech right???.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Not working do not purchaseI had the free version and the tuner stopped working so I deleted and re-down loaded the app as I opened it gave me 3 mins to upgrade at 50% cost so I did. Tuner still doesn’t work!!!!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Update requiredThis app needs an update asap. It no longer functions as designed since the iOS 16.0.2 software update..Version: 2.6.0
✓ TOTAL GARBAGEI paid to fully upgrade this app and now want my money back. this pile of garbage absolutely does NOT work after the last IOS upgrade. The tuner totally disappears one use after reinstall. All the purchases fail to restore properly. this app is therefore a TOTSL RIPOFF, a waste of time and a waste of money. FULL REFUND PLEASE.Version: 2.6.0
✓ No export capabilitiesBadly needs an update !! Come on agile, I have used this app almost daily for years , best app if it’s kind period !! BUT there is no longer the ability to export song sheets, it’s just gone! Creating chord sheets then exporting to students with the app was fantastic and I recommend this app to hundreds They still sell the app promoting these features that No longer work and do NOT respond to their customers in regard to it Be aware before you buy.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Best to worst - App has started letting me downThis was by far the best guitar app ever. I paid $13 for it and was literally my ‘Guitar Toolkit’. I even paid for in app purchases to gain access to more scales and progressions. My go to for almost a 8 years! I even told people it was worth the full price Now. Tuner doesn’t work. No app updates to help keep up with iOS updates has had other issues. If they fix it, I’d be willing to give a 5 star. Until then, this can collect cobwebs of another great relic of the past..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner no longer worksI used this app for many years, and it was excellent. Unfortunately the tuner no longer works on my new phone. Many other reviewers have raised this issue, but it hasn’t been addressed. The app hasn’t been updated since 2016, and seems to have been abandoned by the developers..Version: 2.6.0
✓ No needle since iOS updateThis app keeps glitching on each update - the latest being no indicator needle! Shame as I love it and use it everyday- the first app I put on my phone in the olden days..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Dropping the ballCome on guys, last update era 6y ago. Now since the latest IOS update it’s not working as it should. I’ve use toolkit for years and it’s been great, but you have dropped the ball, on this lately!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ A once great app, now ruined!It now spends all its time repeatedly attempting to get further money out of you - although there doesn't appear to be any benefit! The tuner, which was my primary reason for getting the app, is now reduced to an after-thought with a poor interface..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Buyer bewareTuner doesn't work...Version: 2.6.0
✓ Yes….What DID HAPPEN?!?The design guy who wrote the last review was spot on accurate. This was as he wrote one of my favorite apps and was very flexible and the number of instruments, the keyword playing, etc. and someone then all of a sudden bing bang and it was gone you could no longer use it to tune anything not even a fish! we don’t know what happened to it perhaps as he said the company did fold and just left the app out there to Rohde because I would’ve given it five stars a long time ago and now they’re lucky if they get I have a star they really blew a good thing and unfortunately us guitars now have to deal with mediocre, tuners and other tool kits to get what we once had in this app it’s a crying shame..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Used to be great, doesn’t work properly on 14.8I love this app, but now the tuner no longer works on iOS 14.8. It worked on 14.7 and I thought iOS 14.8 was just a security update so I was surprised to see it break this app. I would love to see an update because the app is very useful when functioning properly. I love the chord lookup features and it would be great to see a functional version with a simple modern interface..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Garbage - should be removed from storeDoesn't work - abandonware.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner doesn’t workThis all used to work. I feel like they are CONSTANTLY pushing and adding paid “updates” and when they do it just gets worse and worse..Version: 2.6.0
✓ No longer working for meJust upgraded to iOS 13 and it doesn’t load anymore..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Works sporadicallyUsed to be a great app with an awesome tuner. Stopped working properly with iOS 16. Now glitchy- you have to click on to the chords section for 2 or 3 secs before clicking back to the tuner to get it to work..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Useless appThey are not updating this app. The tuner does NOT work..Version: 2.6.0
✓ AppallingThey’ve crippled this once great app. Is this deliberate? They seem to be trying to make us pay more for a version that works. Can that be true? If so, I recommend avoiding apps from this supplier.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner broken — requires uninstall/reinstall to use 1xTuner is broken. Worked fine on older iPhone — using iPhone 13 pro it will run once and then after you close the app the tuner is black screen until you delete and reinstall the app. I see I’m not the only user with this issue..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Doesn’t work anymoreUsed to be good. Tuner is often a blank screen. Metronome too buggy to reliably use. This is one of the only apps I’ve ever paid for and it was good for years but for whatever reason it doesn’t work properly anymore and that seems to be a common experience..Version: 2.6.0
✓ App no longer worksI use this app daily before practice. Since I upgraded my iOS it no longer works on my iPhone. Will have to download/purchase another tuner but would prefer an upgrade to this one s I’ve used it for years..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Updates???At the time of writing, this app has not been updated in 3 years. Tuner function is crashing constantly in iOS 13. Uninstall..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Used to be great but...I have used this app for about 10 years and it has been great with some excellent tools. I Evan rebought it recent as I changed my Apple ID email. However the tuner, the most used feature by me, no longer works since the last iOS update. This is not good enough. Was happening!! Why don't you fix it? I would have rated it highly but can't recommend it as it currently didn't work..Version: 2.6.0
✓ The tuner is great when it worksUnfortunately I think the app hasn’t been updated in a long time and for me the tuner rarely works. Most of the time there is just a gray square where the tuner should be. Too bad, this was a great app..Version: 2.6.0
✓ WAS a great app !I bought this app many years ago and found it extremely useful for all aspects of playing guitar ! But Why oh Why has the tuner been removed? It makes no sense at all ! AGreat App ruined for me and other budding guitarists !.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Doesn’t work anymoreI’ve invested in this app from the beginning. I’ve bought into all the options all along the way. Now the tuner doesn’t work! I’m using the free tuner by Fender and I love it. But I’m a professional musician/teacher and I want my old app back. I’ve been ripped off, which is always a risk when purchasing anything from tech companies because their products don’t exist in tangible form. So sad though that a great product from people passionate about guitar would die and leave me hanging..Version: 2.6.0
✓ What happened to the tuner??Just doesn’t work anymore..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Print crashes app :( Developer abandoned this once great appOnce was my go-to guitar app, but it’s been abandoned! Inexcusable. We paid good money for this app and multiple in-app purchases. I can’t save my Chord Sheets — app crashes in iOS 15 when trying to Print Chord Sheet (Share Chord Sheet > Print Chord Sheet). I haven’t updated my iOS to 16 to preserve the tuner functionality which apparently is broken in the latest OS. Shame and curses upon those responsible for abandoning this app!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Broken tunerI have used this app for years, but the timer no longer works and Agile haven’t responded to several bug reports. Poor..Version: 2.6.0
✓ The tuner stopped workingI have used this app for years and absolutely loved it. With iOS 16 the tuner stopped working. This is sad as it was one of my longest serving apps that I was happy to pay money for..Version: 2.6.0
✓ WARNING! DO NOT BUY! Tuner does not workThis is a disgrace… Apple allowing dud apps on their store… this app is one of them… the tuner basically doesn’t work. I’m chasing Apple for a refund and they’re ignoring me.Version: 2.6.0
✓ This used to be greatWell, this app used to be a 5/5, but something changed about 18 months ago. The App used to be very fast but is now extremely laggy. Just when you think a page is going to open you are hit with a full page advert. It is now a frustrating experience to even browse through my favourites. I suggest you simplify this app to focus on delivering content quickly..Version: 2.6.0
✓ What a shame!Used to be my “go to” tuning app but recently, the tuner fails to work on the iPhone and on the iPad. The other facilities still work but the tuning feature was what I most appreciated the app for..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Good app, bad businessI have enjoyed the full (paid for) version of this app for several years, but recently I had to factory reset my iPad. When reinstalling the app, there was no option to ‘restore purchases’ given, so I clicked on the ‘buy’ button, anticipating that my purchase would be restored. Instead I found myself paying again for the app I had already purchased. When I brought this to the attention of Apple, I was told that this app is not eligible for a refund, and no explanation given..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Not working now. Needs updateIs anyone there? No update for six years. Tuner now does not work with iOS 16. Time to junk this app?.Version: 2.6.0
✓ UPDATE YOUR APPIt used to be my main app to use regularly, but now it’s buggy and barely useable since the latest iOS update. FIX. IT..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Was my go to untilThe tuner stopped working with ios16. Please fix. I’ve used this app since my old iPhone 3GS..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Please update for IOS16I’ve used the app for years. Very handy, especially the tuner. But sadly, like many others, the tuner stopped working when I upgraded to IOS 16. Is the app still supported?.Version: 2.6.0
✓ This app WAS great. Not anymore.This app was amazingly good when it worked. As a tuner, I bought it a long time ago and the fact that it also had a metronome, guitar chord inversion chart (in an excellent design), and alternate tunings, was icing on the cake. But now the tuner doesn’t work. It appears the developer is defunct. When trying to submit a bug report the app can’t make a connection, which means it’s likely their servers are down. I’m sad about this because the app was so good. It’s still useful for looking up chords and the metronome, but it’s main purpose for me was the tuner. 🙁.Version: 2.6.0
✓ WoofI paid $10 back for this in the early days of the App Store and I thought it was worth every penny. But it eventually stopped being updated and as of spring / summer 2020 on an iPhone X, iOS 13, the tuner has stopped working entirely. This is profoundly disappointing. I understand a person making software doesn't expect to be its custodian for the rest of their life, but I'm sad that the usefulness of this app has come to an end for me. It has other tools built in but i don't use them. I always used this app as a premium tuner. There are other tuners but they're either buried inside other apps (Ultimate Guitar) or gimped behind a paywall (GuitarTuna). When you pay money for a tool you hope it will last forever, but this one broke..Version: 2.6.0
✓ No update for this appI like the app, and i use a lot, but the developers not doing anything for improve it, the last update was 4 years ago, I wait that they see this review and doing something about it. Only with fix the bugs that happend in the tuner, I can change the review, but now I can only give 3 stars. I think, if this fix that, this gonna give them more sell for the app. I hope the developers read that review..Version: 2.6.0
✓ No longer worksUsed to be an app I’d use everyday. Unfortunately the tuner no longer works [iOS 16.1.1] so unless they’re going to update the app then I’ll delete and look for something similar..Version: 2.6.0
✓ RubbishGuys I had the free version for several years and decided last year to buy the app to get better functionality. That was a mistake I just noticed no updates. Full of bugs the tuner doesn’t even work properly. Take it off the App Store if you are not going to support it. You’re selling something that doesn’t deliver!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Needs an updateNo longer works with my iPhone. This used to be the best tuner I had. C’mon team please update..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Don’t buy itUnbelievable, I used this app for several months to tune all my stringed instruments and one day it just stopped working. I tried everything to get it to work to the point of enlisting my children to see if they could help me out with no luck. Then in a last ditch effort I paid the 5.99 to update it thinking that must be the problem, it still doesn’t work. So basically the people who have received my 5.99 just scammed me. Whatever you do don’t buy it, it’s a scam. I also discovered that it hasn’t been updated in over 2 years so obviously the developers have also given up on it..Version: 2.6.0
✓ DomoWhy has this app broken? I’ll admit I’ve only ever used it as a tuner, but I liked it. Now everytime I open the app the tuner display is blank. I’ve enabled the microphone, Paid for the full version, & I’m not happy..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner does not workLike most of the other recent comments. The tuner does not work most of the time. It seems like the developer has stoped maintaining what was an awesome app. Can’t recommend it without a tuner. Sorry..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Was a great app once…I have had this app for years and found it very good, even if 95% of my usage was just the tuner. Now the tuner doesn’t work and just shows a blank screen. I recently updated iOS. Not sure if that’s the cause, but this app needs updating to keep up..Version: 2.6.0
✓ This used to be my go-to tunerHaven’t been playing much lately and had not tried to use this app on my current phone, a 14 Pro Max. Tuner doesn’t even display a needle or indicate anything about pitch detection at all. Other than the green sound meter below indicating that it is using the microphone and detects sound, it doesn’t give you anything on the tuning meter. This used to be a great app, what happened?.Version: 2.6.0
✓ No upgrades. Was once great…now, meh.Here’s how to get the tuner to work. Change the instrument (guitar-mandolin-guitar), it’ll squeal…hit (i) change from dark mode to light or vice versa…tuner will now work. Here’s the annoying part, you have to do this every single time you want to tune…never fully resets. Super annoying..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Doesn't work anymoreUsed to be great, now the tuner doesn't even work..Version: 2.6.0
✓ I used to love this app, but..I upgraded to use Chord Sheets and have saved songs successfully for years. Over the last few months I have noticed that some (but not all) the saved chords are invisible, though you can hear what the chord should sound like it you tap on the blank space. I have tried to submit a bug report via the App Store and it fails. I have tried to contact the company online and it fails. Do they exist any more? Will there be any upgrades to bring this app back to the great app it used to be?.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Lovely app, now abandoned?Writing a review in hopes that the developer will see it and make an update. I’ve been using this app for almost 15 years, and it’s probably the best guitar tech app there is. Unfortunately, since io16 the tuner is non-functional. The developer can’t be reached via the contact form, so I’m hoping they will make an update to allow us to keep using their awesome app. It would be a shame to see it ride off into the sunset..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner doesn’t work at allI purchased this app years ago! Hands down was the best tuner, chord finder etc, haven’t really played much this past year, picked up my guitar and tried to tune it only for the tuner to register the sound but not on the tuner. Thinking I needed to update I repurchased for $9.99 after it said was on sale for $5.99, (reminder! I already purchased years ago) only for it to still not work. So I deleted and re-download, still nothing 🙄 so I got a different free one that actually worked. I would appreciate a refund..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Used to be goodLoved this app for years for quick access to chord progressions, scales and a bang on accurate tuner. Now 6 years of no updates later the tuner does not work properly on the latest Gen iPhones....Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner Stops WorkingVery frustrating when the tuner intermittently stops working.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Just stopped workingI’ve used this app for over 10 years. It just stopped working. No support..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Doesnt work anymore :(I absolutely love this app, sadly it doesnt work anymore :(.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner not working anymoreSuch a shame this was my go to app The tuner was great but no longer works Why would this be just left and not corrected.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Used to be good - tuner no longer worksThis app used to be great but it looks like they have given up on it! Developers are not contactable tuner doesn’t work. Do not buy!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ This used to work. Now abandoned. No supportI used this app for years - easily better than a lot of pedals I used to perform. It’s been a few years now, this app no longer works. Why is it still on the App Store? Cycling through different instruments seems to reset the app for the tuner, but it doesn’t actually work. Bummed.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Doesn’t work in IOS 17Was a great app but IOS 17 broke the tuner..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner doesn’t work anymoreI reckon an iOS update broke it. Thought the problem was with my old iPhone8 but I’ve just got a 13 and the tuner still doesn’t work. Note, don’t bother trying to raise a support request, their website doesn’t work either. Man, I hate having to use a different app just for tuning but it seems this app is abandonware now..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner no longer workingTuner stopped working, doesn’t even display. No updates!!!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Loved this App for yearsTuner quit working. They even got me for another $16. I bought the latest version. I figured it would be an upgrade. No go. Very bummed. Was a great app..Version: 2.6.0
✓ App no longer workingI used this app for years without any issues - however this app now crashes and will not open on IOS17.1.2, tried uninstall and reinstall but made no difference ???.Version: 2.6.0
✓ The Tuner No Longer WorksI used this app pretty much when I got my first iPhone 3GS. I hadn’t used it much the past year or so because I had my guitar well tuned but then did some traveling and finally a move. I opened up the app to retune my guitar and it no longer works. It registers a sound level but tuner is no longer functional. And it’s really sad because the app offered a metronome, various string instrument settings, and tunings other than just standard. But since it doesn’t seem to be supported anymore, DO NOT BUY!!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ This once great app has taken nosediveI agree with broadwood77’s review, this app used to be really handy, now the tuner doesn’t work and the developer seems to have gone awol.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner no longer worksI will echo the dozens of recent reviews, and say that this was the best and most reliable tuner app around, but it no longer works. Frustrating, because it shows that it’s picking up sounds, but doesn’t function anymore..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner doesn’t work!!I just updated the app and the tuner doesn’t work anymore?!? I’m noticing in the reviews I’m not the only one with this issue. The tuner is the main reason I bought this app..Version: 2.6.0
✓ FrustratingThe app is actually pretty good, but I have to regularly delete/reinstall it as the tuner will stop working (as many others have pointed out) and that’s the only way to fix it..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Used to be good. Completely ruinedWell done developers Tuner is not working anymore. The app needs to be fixed ASAP please And stop asking for money every 2 seconds.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Ugh“Upgraded” to the plus pack and now the tuner doesn’t work. Allowing access to the microphone results in a blank tuner screen. Avoid at all costs!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner doesn’t workThis used to be a great app. It seems the developers are uncontactable so I’m guessing they could be out of business now, which is fine but if so they should remove from the App Store. To be fair, the rest of the app works fine and is still useful but the tuner definitely doesn’t work any more. If the developers are still in business I would urge them to update their contact details. Great shame..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Need an updateUsed to be the best app. Now no longer updated and not working properly. Would love it to work again..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Guitar tuner no longer works! Please fix!!!Sadly the tuner no longer works which is the only reason I bought this. Please can you update it!!!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Just AWESOME app...but…Edit 2023: I used to love this app, evidenced by this long, glowing review below, but it didn’t honour my initial purchase—had to buy again to keep it working—and now it doesn’t work at all. Nice legacy from one of the original iPhone GOATs. David Crosby died today and now I’m out of tune. I think this was the first App I actually paid for (almost two years ago) and I use it more than any other. It has helped me out in many ways: convenience, learning theory and becoming a better musician. You get TUNER, METRONOME, CHORDS, FRETBOARD and "INSTRUMENT" options along the bottom. The TUNER is accurate and the high-contrast mode is great for or bright areas. It's big so you can put it on the floor in a jam--especially when the "other guy" is out of tune and you want to be subtle--and everyone can be in tune. The options on the METRONOME are great. You can adjust the sound, the meter and customize it to various time signatures. Also, if you're writing or recording you can use the "tap" option to find out the BPMs for recording. And the light/silent-mode option is handy. CHORDS: You pick the chord, it shows you how to play it. Easy. Also, it for helps for writing. You know when you "find" a chord you want to use but don't know the name of it? You can find it in the chords option by hitting the magnifying glass and it'll essentially tell you what chord you're playing, helping with theory and finding other open chords that work with it. FRETBOARD: Similar to chords but shows you scales up and down the fretboard. "INSTRUMENT": This is where the "bad name" comes in. Not only can you choose the same options for tuning, chords and scales for different guitar tunings, but you can do the same for 4-to-6 string basses, ukelele, banjo and mandolin. As someone who plays a bit of the latter two, this has been a huge help..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Just stopped working one dayI used this as a tuner and metronome and after several years of working, it just decided the tuner didn’t need to actually display anything. Just a blank gray screen. It was getting audio in from the mic, it just wouldn’t display the notes being played, which makes it worthless. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and you know what, life’s too short for crappy apps. I am sure I can find another..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner won’t work on iOS 16Most of the options will work just fine. I especially love the app for the voicing/chords selections and the very large database of scales used all around the world (some very specific to some cultures too). The only thing, since iOS 16, the tuner isn’t working. For a paid app (when I got this), I must say that I’m disappointed. I’ll still use the app for what I mentioned above, but I really hope an update will be done soon..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Was the best guitar App availableIve used this for years. Put literally dozens of students onto it, now no tuner. Its a pity, looks like the developers have walked away from it..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Used to be great. Barely works now.Must be a compatibility issue, but most of the time the tuner doesn’t register anything. And that makes this app virtually useless outside metronome and chord lookups. For me it’s a tuner 99% of the time, and the tuner works maybe 10% of the time. So… fix it please?.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Used to be a great appI have used this app for many years and like others it was my favorite go to app. For some reason after the last iOS update the tuner stopped working. I see that others are having the same issue. I hope the developers can fix this issue or at least let us know they are working on it. Prior to this I would have rated it a five but without the tuner it takes away a lot of the functionality that was convenient to have..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Fix the tunerMake an update so the tuner works again and maybe include 8 string guitars for scales and chords.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner doesn’t work anymore (add.)That is - 14 years relying on this tuner. Fix this..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Sabotaged appSad, I was using the app for ages but now it’s not the tuner is not working at all anymore. Do not install..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Sadly Tuner no longer works! Is this really a guitar toolkit?I have used the Guitar Toolkit for many years. I mainly use the tuner function which is essential to Guitar players at all levels. The Tuner is very good and accurate. Sadly the Tuner no longer works any more. I am not sure how you can call this App an guitar toolkit without the Tuner working..Version: 2.6.0
✓ AbandonwareRIP.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner does not workAll in the title.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Please updateBuggy with latest os.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Needs update!A great app for those without perfect pitch. But not completely working with new IOS 16. Very frustrating!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Was great, but...... any update for iOS16? I have been using this app for several years, mostly for the tuner but also for other features (e.g. chords names for songwriting, ...). But it seems that update take longer and longer to come, though the tuner does not work anymore. Sad, cause it was very accurate..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner no longer workingSince latest iOS update (16) tuner no longer works. Can see meter movement when making sound along the bottom of screen but no tuner needle movement. Can sometimes get it to come on by changing instrument - will start rifling then but appears to have a fault in audio signal path - will feedback if volume is up. See several folk reporting tuner not working - any plans to update/fix this?.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Paid but No longer worksI really admired this little app when I first came across it for all that it offered. I even made the decision to support them by buying the apps full list features at the time. Sadly that doesn’t seem to matter anymore as it’s stopped allowing me to use the tuner function and is asking for a lot more money to use it again..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Had to buy it twice, crashes, tuner disappearsI originally bought this app a few years back...and then they just quit updating it and removed my version from the App Store, forcing me to re-purchase only a few years after buying the original app. Half the time the tuner tab shows up blank. No tuner, no interface, just a blank grey screen. All of the other tabs will still be working fine...just not the tuner tab - which is what I’m using this app for 99% of the time. I’ve also found the tuning to be a few cents off as has been reported by other users. So, do the developers of this app just go on holiday after the release? What’s the deal with your app? Do you even update, bro?.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Guitar Tuner no longer worksHi - I just upgraded to iPhone 11 pro and the guitar tuner in the app no longer functions. Could you fix please? Thanks 😊.Version: 2.6.0
✓ No longer works, uselessIt stopped working a long time ago - find a replacement.Version: 2.6.0
✓ MehBeen using this app for along time but for the last 2 years it’s been giving me trouble. Now it can’t even pickup the sound from the guitar to tune it.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Used to work amazingGuitar tuner has been broke for over a year on my iPhone. Tried every fix but no luck. Wish they would fix the problem. It’s the main reason I use this app..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Shady upgrade schemeFirst things first. I don’t like free apps. They annoy me. So if I have the option to buy I do. I purchased this app this morning and before I’d even had a chance to explore the app I’m getting a message to upgrade at 1/2 price for premium. I thought “why not” and went for it. Then, I log into my iPad and get the same offer to upgrade which I just did on another device. There was no mention of the upgrade being locked to a particular device which doesn’t even make sense in the first place, but if there was a warning I would have chosen a separate device. I thought I was paying for premium content but apparently I’m paying to get badgered to access the content I already bought across several devices. Who knows, maybe the upgrade isn’t meaningful in the first place, I’m not sure if I can but I might try and report this to apple.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Guitar ToolkitThis sucks…the tuner won’t work anymore…duh!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ So unreliableI used to use this app on a regular basis but recent upgrades to my iPhone have sadly rendered it usable. Some of the functions still work but the tuner is hopelessly unreliable. I even went as far as deleting the app and re-purchasing it and it’s exactly the same. Some features work okay and this may be sufficient for you. If you are looking for a reliable tuner however I would give it a miss every time..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner doesn’t work anymoreThe tuner hasn’t worked since OS14. It’s a real shame as it used to be my absolute favourite app. The chord finder is brilliant and still works, and the metronome is fine too, which is why I’m giving it two stars. I’ve tried sending an email to the developers through the in-app feedback section, a couple of times and have got no response..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Was good when the tuner worked...I purchased it for the tuner now the tuner function won’t work at all. Disappointing..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Used to be good. Broken tuner.Abandoned? The tuner rarely works. Will you ever fix it? It is a known issue and it really strains credibility to consider a Tool Kit anymore..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Don’t bother buying itThis app worked great for a couple years now it crap hit and miss with the tuner. Had great features but obviously the makers have given up on it… make your money and bolt shame on man for not addressing this. It’s been an issue on and off for a year.Version: 2.6.0
✓ App has stopped workingDeleted and reinstalled Still not working on iPhone, this is not acceptable when paying for an app.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Stopped working!Used to be the best guitar app. Used it mostly for the tuner and metronome, but the tuner stopped working after the last update. Now it’s useless! Very frustrated, as this wasn’t free!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Don not buy this app until a new version comes outQuite simply it doesn’t function on the latest iOS and the latest iPhones. Glitchy and it’s gone from the best tuner I own to unusable. Disappointing.Version: 2.6.0
✓ No longer worksI upgraded iOS 16 and the tuner function no longer works. This was my go to app. Hopefully the developer will issue an update soon. Other functions seem OK..Version: 2.6.0
✓ No longer works!!Can’t tune Asher iOS update..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner is broken!Will it be fixed or is this app dead?.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Broken with 0% chance of updateWas an excellent app. But should be taken off the App Store as it hasn’t worked properly for well over a year and the last update was 6 years ago..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner works if you turn high contrast mode on and offTap the i on screen an toggle high contrast mode on then hit done then the same to turn it off and the tuner starts to work 👍 your welcome.Version: 2.6.0
✓ No updates!Used to be almost perfect. Now it simply doesn’t work. Appears it hasn’t had an update in 6 years, so don’t waste your time here, look elsewhere..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Get rid of the annoying pop-upsEvery time I open this app to tune my guitar , it tries to sell me something i don’t want. This is very annoying. It’s always the same feature upgrade at the same “one-time only price”. My advice to the developers is to stop behaving like penny hawkers. Build good software, make the pricing and upgrade clear, and people respect you and pay for what they need. If this isn’t addressed, I’ll be getting rid of the app permanently. I’ll swallow the $5 loss and move on to something more respectable even if it costs more..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Great app but has one annoying glitchReally awesome app for finding chords and such, but has an annoying glitch where the tuner doesn’t work!!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Used to be great, now not recommendedSince it was great at first, I purchased it, It was a fantastic App, has deteriorated to the point where the tuner doesn’t even work. Have looked for updates but none. Recent review show the same thing, is it an Apple OS update problem? Seems to make sense, but purchased apps should continue to work, seems like Apple should be responsible for correcting the problem. It’s like if Audi came and permanently locked one of your car doors..” well we know you paid for all the doors to work but you have other doors to get into your car, and now no one can break into that door, you’re welcome 😕.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Shame the tuner has stopped working.I’ve used this app for a long time. The tuning has always be reliable and accurate. The cord identification very useful along with the metronome and other tools. They really need to fix the tuner for more recent apple software versions, if that is the problem..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner has not worked for a long timeThis was the 1st app I ever paid for because it was the best all in 1 app for guitar. Because the tuner intermittently works sometimes displaying the notes played & most of the time not… it’s time to finally delete this app for good. It’s actually a shame the developers can’t get it right..Version: 2.6.0
✓ No longer goodWAS a great app but not anymore. Now the tuner disappears and only comes back if I uninstall and re-download the app. You’re better off downloading something else..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Tuner issueIt used to sometimes work sometimes didn’t now it completely stopped working. Would you just please fix this issue it’s been a while..Version: 2.6.0
✓ No longer functional, sadlyTuner stops working more often than it works. Screen goes completely black. Disappointing for an app I paid ten dollars for. Avoid..Version: 2.6.0
