## Review summary

Overall, users find Guitar Tuner easy, portable, and handy in a pinch. It’s praised for simplicity, quick tuning on the go, audible reference notes, and a useful set of tunings. However, multiple reviews highlight major downsides: intrusive banners and pop-ups that disrupt use, ads blocking controls or prompting accidental taps, sound sometimes failing to play after updates, and landscape/orientation issues that prevent comfortable tablet use. If these issues are addressed, it remains a practical, go-to tuning tool; currently, the ad/UI problems and audio/orientation bugs are the main deterrents.

### Pros

- Easy to use and simple to operate, allowing quick tuning.
- Very handy when you don't have a working clip-on tuner or battery—portable on the go.
- Provides audible reference notes to hear how each string should sound (e.g., E string).
- Includes a range of tunings (standard, half-step, drop D, open tunings, etc.).
- Generally reliable for basic tuning needs.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads and pop-ups that disrupt use and cause accidental taps.
- Sound playback issues reported after updates (no sound or audio stops working).
- Landscape orientation is broken or not supported on tablets (must use portrait).
- Ad placement and UI clutter make it hard to press controls or see tunings.
