Useful fully functional tuner. Works good with my guitar but it would be even better if you would add tuning in different tuning options like drop d etc...

A Google user, 2019-02-09It works fine. I like the way it displays the incoming audio signal. Tres cool. It's relatively fast, too, and I'm using a an Asus C201P Chromebook. Plus, it's free. Computers tuners have come a long way since around 1990. Can't wait to see a full-featured synth on a Chromebook, too.
