Tunefor Ukulele tuner & chords Reviews

by Nylarosecruz

Ok so I am a beginner so I’m trying to figure out how to play these notes and this app it and play songs easily but When I try to listen to Mary had the little lamb the beginner song it’s like oh you need to have premium for this and I’m just like I’m just trying to learn how to play and your trying to charge me money just so I can listen to a beginner song?!! NO! Also if you are a beginner DO NOT GET Tune it’s SO confusing with all the different parts and everything you click I feel like it just pops up with HEY you need premium for this so you need to give money to have this! For a stupid app that you probably don’t even need! Ok so I am definitely deleting Tune and creators I know you are just trying to make it work and you know trying to teach people but like can you stop it with the premium this and maybe add directions to everything so like beginner beginners can understand more, if you did those two things Tune would be fine.

Tune has nothing good about it. Unhelpful to the max. When I try to this app, I tuned low far too much, tuned higher even more, and the tuner in Tune stayed at the red color, and at lowest number, “-50”. Tune is a waste of time and I highly unrecommend you downloading it. I am in the backseat of a car going to a tryout for the South Carolina School of the Arts right now, and I need to play quite a few songs to get in. Now I am a minute away from the audition with an untuned ukulele. Absolutely wonderful.

Just trust me. It is a rip-off. It had quite good reviews when I downloaded it, which were obviously botted. This is probably one of the few true reviews (if not the only) you will find.

I really liked Tune at first, so much I subscribed after the first free week. But every time the subscription renews I lose full access to Tune that I’m paying $5.99 a week for. The first time it happened they fixed it right away and I was able to access the full within an hour of reporting the problem. This time, however, it’s been two days since reporting the problem and I’ve received no response about the problem, I still don’t have full access to Tune and they haven’t reimbursed my money. They’ve charged me for the week , they should either fix the problem or give me my money back.

When I first got my ukulele, I decided to hold off on getting a real tuner and instead see if Tune really did what it said it did. It really didn’t though. Tune would only pick up the G and E strings, completely not acknowledging the C and A. As in I would play the C string and it would only say that it was an off-key G or E string. It was very frustrating because I couldn’t play my uke (correctly anyways) for a while since it it was so out of this app and I am not experienced enough to do it by ear. I had to purchase a Snark tuner and had to wait a while for shipping. Also, I was especially disappointed after seeing that Tune had worked so well for many other people.

p.s.- I am usually not a person to write a rude review but after my experience and the fact that it still continuously asks me to write a review, I thought it was necessary

I downloaded it to help me this app my ukulele and it was doing an amazing job... until they updated Tune . The display and design is a lot worse, it doesn’t even fit my phone screen, the bottom display and right side display is cut off so I can’t even read or figure out how to use Tune anymore. It’s slow and glitchy and I don’t know why it’s acting this way. I deleted and redownloaded it and it’s still stuck this way. It’s really frustrating when I want to do simple things like figure out a chord, or just simply this app and I can’t because of the display. I really liked the display before but now it’s a mess. Wish it could go back to what it was.

I got my first ukulele at the beginning of this month because I was playing it during school and loved it. I couldn’t use Tune at first which I get because the uke was SOO out of this app so it didn’t pick up the notes but then I got it and it Tune works pretty well! I love how I can find different chords I’m not familiar with on it and metronome is helpful also. So that’s the good part. The meh part is that those are the only things you can do on there without paying for premium. Everything else is quite limited. I can only play one song that uses tabs which I just started learning. It would be nice to have some more songs you can play that use chords too. Another “meh” thing about Tune is that it’s kind of hard to figure out what everything is. The directions should be clearer. But it a good app. I use it all the time for tuning.

I've used Tune for a long time and it has never ceased to make me happy with its content. But some how Tune was deleted from my phone I didn't notice for awhile though. When I did I immediately added it and tried to use it, but it can never get past the loading page. It always crashes and never gives me a notification telling me why. I've tried restarting Tune several times, delegating and re-adding Tune , I even tried restarting my phone, but nothing works. This is for sure a 4 out of 5 app if I didn't have the issues with simple opening up Tune .

I loved the games, I paid a couple bucks for it and it was completely worth it. I learned the cords quickly. That was about a month ago and then it updated and said that it had a new tabs button and could teach better, cool beans, clicked the buy button in Tune . It said purchase confirmed - $22 bucks. Nothing has changed, tabs is just a white blank. It hasn't taken the money out of my account yet but I'm confused as to why it keeps harassing me in Tune to purchase what it says I've already purchased for nothing to change? Good app until it became really annoying and just keeps crashing now.

I'm an absolute novice on the ukulele and I only bought my uke a few weeks ago. I found Tune and now that I understand how to use it I think it's incredible but as a brand-new musician the one criticism I would make is that when you open Tune there should be an option to explain how this is used. If there is one then I missed it and it should be more obvious. I suppose that people who play the ukulele and the guitar are familiar enough with this that they wouldn't need it but for someone like me a quick instructional would have been nice. Otherwise this is a real life saver for a quick tuning.

Ok so I love Tune but I’m not gonna complain or say how good it is. I just so confused. I got Tune to learn cause I’m a beginner but then I didn’t play the Uke for a while. So I deleted Tune for more space. Now I have more time on my hands and I wanna get back to playing the Uke and I still need to learn how to this app and all of that, and I liked Tune before so I went to download it again. And I downloaded it. And I can’t open it. And no matter how hard I try I can’t. I don’t know what’s wrong is it my phone? And I tried downloading other random games and I can open them. Just not this specific one.

I really enjoy Tune. It works really well and I love the testing of chords, ear training, fingerings etc. However, I’m not sure if it’s an ad or what but this purple screen pops up sometimes asking me to download another ukulele tuning app because this one is “done”. The sentence isn’t even proper English and it’s kind of annoying. Sometimes I can bypass it and go to Tune , other times not so much. So is this a weird ad or are you really changing to app and want everyone to download a new one?

Umm I got my uke a few weeks ago and I still don’t understand it and when I try to learn how on here I can’t bc almost everything makes u pay$ so I will admit it’s a great tuner only sometimes when my A chord is a out of this app it says it’s an out of this app G which gets annoying but I’d say it’s a 4⭐️ app I guess but if a developer is seeing this u should make more things free pls!!! It is better than a lot of other ones though so I guess I recommend🤷‍♀️?

No I’m not a bot lol but when I first got my ukulele it was also really out of town so I needed to know but none of my brothers knew how to or whatever so I downloaded Tune and it first Tune was so confusing and I was like oh my gosh why is it moving around so much and then finally I downloaded it later on and it works so well because now I know how to use it so at first it’s a little confusing but then it gets better.

Tune is good, average tuner works as expected. I’m giving Tune 5 stars because if you enable notifications every day at 8pm Tune will give you a notification that just says: UKULELE TIME! and it seems very happy and makes me quite excited, so every night at 8pm when I see the notification I will yell “UKULELE TIME!” to my partner and it has caused several laughs and brought us even closer together. Thank you for the joy Tune brings.

So, you’re probably reading this because you’re about to get Tune (or you’re the developer or something). I think it’s a great app! I Got my ukulele because we were playing it at school. It was so out of this app for the longest time. I decided to download Tune and guess what, it’s tuned. Yay. So, that’s awesome! There are however some things I would change. The whole premium thing, kinda gets in the way of learning how to play. I get that this is a free game, but it’s kinda difficult to play sometimes. So that’s one thing I would change. In fact, the only thing I would change. The premium is fine, but maybe just free some things up.

So, If you’re thinking about getting Tune, do it! It’s such a great app! If you’re a developer or something, thanks for reading my review! You’re app is awesome! Cya!

I just bought my first ukulele yesterday and I didn’t know that it was so out of this app when I got it but when I watched tutorials on how to play it I noticed it was waaaaay to high pitched so when I downloaded the first tuning app that popped up (which was this one) it was incredibly accurate on recognizing the strings your trying to this app and it helps a lot because once you finish tuning the ukulele it sounds so clear and calming. 5 star rating for me👌

by Themysticminer

This is a good app mostly. The only things that are wrong is that they should have more that you can do with a free membership. But it is a good app overall so if you just need it for tuning or learning basic chords, than get with out hesitation. I give it five stars because I just need it for tuning and I don’t need the other stuff. My mom and Dad say that I am going to need better teaching so I am asking for a membership on my birthday which is March 13.

Thanks for making Tune! Love it!

Tune is an absolute dumpster fire. It does not work as advertised. Here I download an app expecting to be able to this app my new Ukulele given to me by my girlfriend for my birthday, but Tune keeps me from making melodious and incredible music with my phresh (so fresh it’s a ph) Ukulele.

Tune is like a firework that shot into the air but didn’t burst. It’s like a story that ends “and then he woke up”. Julie Andrews could’ve written a song called “My Least Favorite Things” and this would be the first thing listed.

I hope your experience is different, but sweet mercy I don’t have the patience for it.

It's so simple I over thought how to use it. All you have to do is pull a string and Tune will know which you're trying to this app. It's really smart. The clarity of a nicely tuned ukulele is amazing. I didn't notice my ukulele wasn't tuned all the way (tried by ear) but when I perfected it, I noticed that it makes all the difference. I'm definitely keeping Tune on my phone. It isn't complicated but I think we as a society tend to complicate things for no reason which is what I did at first. But all in all, this is the best one I've used. Very straight to the point. No ads also which is great because I can focus on the important thing- my ukulele.

A while ago when I got a tuner so that I can get exact tuning, I lost it few weeks after, it was better in some ways than Tune since you don’t have to put your phone close to the ukulele, but this still works just great.
With multiple tools like a beat counter, Tuner (of course), and a place where it shows you cords, I only need the tuning but for a beginner this would be great since it shows and helps you get started. I really like Tune and is a great tool. And I hugely recommend it. Great job developer!!

by Breezy0322

This tuner is incredible. The best ukulele tuner on Tune Store in my opinion. It’s about as accurate as my snark tuner and is a great tool to have for the many times I or someone I am with forgets to bring a regular tuner or the tuner is out of batteries. For months this is what I used when I kept forgetting or didn’t have time to pickup batteries for my tuner (I probably should’ve just ordered them but because of Tune I didn’t need to!). 😆
