Tuner – gStrings Free Android App Review
Tuner – gStrings Free for Android is a tuning app designed for guitar. But it can be used for any musical instrument, including your voice. The app allows you to tune by measuring the sound pitch and intensity. You can download Tuner – gStrings for free from Google Play Store. Yes, the free version is ad-supported.
Features
Tuner – gStrings app for Android works in three different ways, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The first one is steady pitch: it listens to a designated pitch – such as G – and will give you a bar to show whether you are flat or sharp and adjusts much like a real tuner helping you to find the right pitch. You can either adjust it by frequency or scroll through a given list to find the note that you’re trying to tune to. Second option is tone, wherein the app will play a tone for you to tune to. This feature comes handy if you can’t look at the screen or if you would like to do it in a hands-free mode. But it should be kept in mind that it is difficult to tune up a note by ear alone. As in steady pitch option, here as well you can either select a note from the list or enter a frequency.
Most of the users would prefer the third option: auto tuning. Here, all you need to do is to play a note and the app then recognizes the note you’re closest to, and aids you to tune that note by showing if you are sharp or flat and by how much. You have the option to specify the frequency. But we recommend that you don’t meddle with it and let the auto mode find the note by itself. Tuner – gStrings app for Android is fast, responsive and accurate enough. The UI is stylish yet simple. Tuner – gStrings app requires Android OS versions 1.5 or higher.
