Gets the job done

Very basic tuner, does the job well enough but mine would never pick up the low E string, and for the most part was very inconsistent with the other strings. I had to tune using the 12th fret most of the time

Does the bare minimum, and that's about it.

A solid tuner worth it's price - nothing more and nothing less

It works, it feels solid, it's sturdy enough, it's quite correct but it did give me problems with showing the low E string as everything but such, can't really detect the pitch on anything but open strings, must use strong enough vibration for it to be correct and sometimes others strings interfere if they are not completely silent. This all would make it slightly unreliable for important use, or stage use. For casual use where you can also trust your ear and where mostly standard tuning is needed, it's a-OK.

Good but not great

Using this tuner for my electric guitar.

It was part of a bundle, so it came off pretty cheap which is nice, and the tuner does it's job, tuning the guitar pretty accurately.

The tuner itself isn't the sturdiest and the grip isn't very strong or adaptable, as its kept falling from the head of the guitar, or just not fitting at all.

Good value for money for a beginner, but not the most reliable piece of equipment.

Excellent for the price

Ok low cost tuner. Have to shift position on the headstock sometimes but that's normal. Bought for my bass playing 11 year old, so if it breaks or gets lost it's easily and cheaply replaced.

Sometimes it just will not work at all, and I've had to resort to a mobile app to tune instead. This one may go back

Not a stage tool

It works but sometimes doesn't seem to recognise the string that you are trying to tune and that is something that can be annoying at home but could be considered high treason on a stage.

Ok for the price

Pretty slow and not extremely precise, but very good for its' price. Replace by a polytune clip-on, which is faster and a little bit more accurate, but not 10x faster and more accurate, while costing 10x as much

It works fine, it just takes time to reset before you pick the string to check again. a little slow.

I have no idea how this tuner is with accoustic guitars, but with my electric it proves itself not very sensible. Still possible to tune with this, but you have to adapt to its peculiarities. Have to pick the string strongly to get enough vibration to get through to this gadget to detect the pitch. Have to make sure other strings are silent. And also take pauses between each try. Still often shows pitch incorrectly. For example can show E when picking B string (when guitar is already well tuned). And with detecting pitch when strings picked on some fret other than open - most times it totally misses the mark. But for this price you can't complain.

Good for the money

It's okay for the money, but it doesn't seem to pickup my guitar that well, and the screen is kinda hard to see from certain angles, for the money though, it does what it needs to do.

battery dies very quick and sometimes doesn't get the note at all.

It works but is not ideal

For guitar or bass it works the best. It gets very often confused between tonics and fifths. The sensitivity is okay, but due to how it jumps between C and G for example when tuning G makes me questions the accuracy. I have two of these tuners and they both show the same instability. Would not use for anything other than Guitar or Bass, thus not for banjo, also does not work with very low sounds like,, for acoustic bass you can forget it, even when tuning with harmonics it is not stable

Is an acceptable guitar tuner for a very cheap price

Nice and cheap product

Nice and precise product. I use it with my 12 string acoustic guitar and it works pretty well with standard tuning. But when you change the tuning (normally tune it down a whole note) it has some problems finding the note your playing.

it is a very simple tuner.

you can choose between guitar, bass and chromatic. but it is a little bit inaccurate, but for a beginner it is more than okay.

it is very fragile, so be careful, even though it is very cheap

Not very precise, but useful

It?s cheap, it works, but is not very precise.

I use it mostly to tune roughly and then I prefer use my ear to tune precisely.

It works ok with my acustic guitar but not with my electric guitar (cause it has less resonance).

This tuner is good if you want to play casually or just want a quick reference of the notes. I would not recommend it for recording sessions.

good but...

The tuner is pretty good but only for standard tuning. When down tuning it doesn't always accurately measure the notes. It's also a bit slow in responding.

pro's

-standard tuning is easy

-feels sturdy

con's

-Down tuning takes a lot of time and patience with this tuner

-Slow response

Quite a good tuner for amount of money

USE: I am using it on my accoustic Ovation guitar. I use it on several occasions before gigs and other parties.

CLARITY: While using it, I found out that it provides enough good results, you will have a guitar in good tune.

PROS: Really easy to use. You just pres the button, turn it on and you are immediately able to tune your instrument. Really easy!

CONS: Not a really good production. After few gigs, the guitar clip (sensor) broked! I did not do anything special, I just turned "head" so display of tuner to see better tune of the guitar and display just stayed in my hand. So quality production is not on high level what can be a consequence of such a low price.

COMPREHENSIBILITY: If you want a tuner for home use or for singing with your friends and you do not care if you lose it or broke it is a best decision for you.

FURTHER INFORMATION: Definitely the price is really low. So probably you should pick more pieces fore cases where tuner brokes or when something bad happen to it! Nevertheless, it is a good tuner and for such price i recommend it!
