Just searching for tuner apps, in the first 10 or so results there were no options for me without ads or without "upgrade to pro" or "subscribe to us" or "3 days trial". The first three had an ad-free option around 10-15 dollars to unlock, which is fair but the price of a good hardware tuner that will certainly last WAY longer than any of those apps and will operate 10x better. The first one without the subscription is the Boss tuner, which is free, but has spammy notifications for Boss advertisements. The first one that isn't complete crap is in position 30 or so. So yeah, I'm gonna diss something I didn't pay for, and I didn't even download. Simply because those products are better off not existing for me as a consumer, since they lead to confusion and redundancy and prevent me from finding truly quality things.

you guys are such a bunch of entitled brats "NAH 10euros for a tuner that's all the time on me but maybe not perfect is WAY TOO MUCH." omg. as a guitarist the apps were life changing considering i lose my tuner every two month and forget to take it anyway one every two rehearsal. Be grateful.

Answering the sibling post that is now dead: Considering the option I went for is buying a proper product with proper warranty, operates 100x better and whose manufacturer spent WAY more R&D than all those shitty small apps, I fail to see how I am the entitled one. Also, my current tuner is Polyphonic (TC Polytune). I bet a couple of the 30 or so apps I saw might be too, but how the fuck should I know? There's nothing in descriptions. I'd rather spent the time getting some proper device than cruising trough shitty products that want to show me ads. Also, my Polytune doesn't charge me extra for tuning a Ukulele. Unlike some of the apps in the store. The only "entitled" people here are those SaaSholes flooding the market with copycat shitty apps.
