SCAM! don’t buy/download

Perfecto

Been a minute since I picked up my guitar and ukulele. This was always my go-to tuner. The free version. The one you could click to avoid a trial by clicking the x in the top corner or whatever it was. Now you are forced to either use the free trial of death ($8/week after three days) or pick a new app, which I will be. If this app is making money, it is by scamming people who either do not realize there is a weekly fee, or didn’t remember to cancel their trial. No one would knowingly pay more than $400 a year on a guitar tuner app masquerading as a free service on the App Store, and Apple should honestly do the right thing and remove the service like they did other insane fee charging apps. What makes it worse, and the reason I’m bothering to write a review, is that the developer clearly either does not understand or care based on their responses to other reviews on the matter. We aren’t daft; we understand what a three day free trial means. We understand we can cancel it, but what is confusing is that you would purposefully neuter your app and then act completely ignorant as to why such an insane and immoral change as a forced premium-to-use model and sketchy free trial period/fee would upset years-long users.

Only 3 days free

This app is ridiculous! Won’t let me go use the app because I have to pay a subscription.

THIS APP LITERALLY CHARGES YOU 8 DOLLARS A WEEK TO USE. THAT IS 416 DOLLARS PER YEAR. THIS IS THEFT AND THE CREATORS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES!

Helped a lot

This was a free tuner, but now Gismart requires $7.99 a week to use. No thanks.

Love it

Look, I get it. People that work hard to develop an awesome app deserve to get paid for their efforts. I’ve used this app since 2013, and honestly could have sworn I paid a one-time premium fee a long long time ago (maybe to remove ads??), but maybe I just have that confused with something else. I would HAPPILY pay a one-time fee comparable to the cost of, you know, an actual physical guitar tuner. I’d maybe even pay a little extra because of the convenience of always having a tuner handy on my phone. But $8 a WEEK?? Are you crazy??? If I had been paying that fee the entire time I’ve used this app, I would have spent nearly $3,000 just to tune my guitar at home myself. And to the developers - please don’t bother responding to my review with your “oh but you don’t have to pay because we’ve got this free trial” nonsense. What are we expected to do after the free trial? PAY $8 A WEEK or never use the app again. *rolls eyes* Show more
