Description of Universal Tuner

The tuner for stringed musical instruments.
Absolutely free, no annoying ads! Fully autonomous and does not require access to the Internet, nor any other additional permits.
This tuner allows to tune a variety of musical instruments: six- and seven-string guitar, bass guitar, gusli, balalaika, domra, lute, ukulele, koto, shamisen, violin, viola, cello, double-bass, kalimba, oud, banjo, guzheng, gayageum.
Lightweight application with a highly efficient detection algorithm. Less memory and CPU usage, which
makes battery life longer, Even on devices with weak CPU response still very smooth and fast, that allows for the tuning process to be precise and quick. This is not like a slideshow with a long delay, as in many other guitar tuner applications.
Minimalist and informative design does not distract, making the tuning process easy and comfortable.
High pitch detection accuracy (up to 3 cents). Works with wide range, allows to tune whole piano.

    I use it for guitar, mandolin, banjo, dobro, and fiddle. I love that I can easily create a preset for each instrument's desired tuning and strings, so when I'm going to play I just click in the desired instrument/tuning preset. For each string, I can see the tuning accuracy on the screen and/or press a button for any string to listen to the tonality of the string. I've used and tried a number of these programs-- this is my favorite -- I've deleted the others.

    High quality, no ads, simple and easy to use. This would be a five star review if it weren't for the 'jumpy' interface. It still works, but it takes a lot of getting used to. Highly recommend!

    Love the oldskool UI. Simple and fun. Has huge list of tunings for a variety of string instruments, and a bunch of special options.

    I absolutely love it. I'm so glad that this app is out there. I play many instruments, so it's nice to just tap the instrument I want to tune, and have a very accurate sound. I also really, really like the frequency feature, for I play in 444. Thank you for this awesome app!!!

    Great app, easy to use even for a beginner like myself. I can't say anything yet about how "true" the tuning guide runs. Thanks for adding the 17-key kalimba - I hope it will become available in C major, too!
