Cheap, but unfortunately not really usable
I’ve owned Clip tuners before and their operation was super easy - hit a string, tuner picks up the note, and as you tune the led needle goes sharp or flat until you’re spot on.
This one is suppose to do the same, but unfortunately as you tune it doesn’t keep that note ‘alive’ on screen so you can’t see if you go up or down, and definitely can’t see when you’re in tune. You have to keep stroking that same string again and again to see how far you’ve come along towards that green confirmation that you’re in tune.
It also doesn’t even pick up the right string most times, which is really strange and frustrating.
Maybe mine is defected, who knows, I’ve seen some really good reviews here, so hopefully no one else has that problem. I guess you could expect that for the very cheap price.

Broken
Worked fine when i first tried it out, not even a day later it simply won't turn on. Even tried replacing the batteries .

Very cheap but quite erratic
I find the tuner to be too erratic to be useable. Even when taking outmost care to make a clear pick of a string, the pointer is oscillating back and forth erratically. I saw a movie of someone using it more successfully, so maybe I got a defect one or it's something with the resonance of my guitar that makes it unusable.

it is unreliable for gig use ..it doesnt react well on bass guitar.little better on electric..this is for use on a rehearsal but even then sometimes it acts like it is a mess..confusing G and D strings.. i think it is good for home use or at some party when you play just for fun.it is cheap so it is usable but not for serious use..would be afraid to go on a live play with this

not good
looks nice, affordable, easy to use, but it is not working on dreadnought acoutic guitar as it should be. not sensitive enough so very often can't recognize string vibration at all or it is very slow.
wouldn't recommend it.

Well built, Lots of fetures, Very temperamental
TLDR: Put in a couple extra pounds and get a better quality tuner, difference is very noticable
The build quality is good and has fetures for standard guitar and bass tuning which work resonably well however the chromatic scale tends to be unpredictable.

I wanted a fair tuner
But, I got a "detuner". My tuner interprets the B-string rather incorrect. When I used the tuner and tuned my guitar after it, it sounded awful (at least mine did.) But, after analog correction (them good ol' ears) I'm ready to shred again.

Verarbeitung leider mangelhaft.
Der Deckel vom Batteriefach geht viel zu leicht und damit oft ungewollt auf.

Jittery and unreliable
Don't buy this tuner ~ I found it pretty jittery and unreliable when tuning my banjo. It's very easily knocked out of whack by environmental sound, no good at a gig!
