    MaddProfessor

    “Já baixei vários aplicativos de afinação, mas este é de longe o melhor. É fácil de usar, superintuitivo, e ainda oferece uma variedade de acordes e canções divertidas para ajudar você a aprender novas músicas. Eu recomendo muito.”

  • Aplicativo bem projetado

    Rose the Black Cat

    “Eu uso principalmente para afinar meu violão, e o aplicativo facilita demais esse processo. Ele também oferece uma grande seleção de músicas para acompanhar e ainda mostra quais acordes tocar e como posicionar os dedos.”

  • Me fez voltar a tocar

    Tuliketsune

    “Eu baixei este aplicativo para afinar um violão antigo e notei que ele tem um recurso que faz a rolagem automática de músicas famosas, enquanto eu toco os acordes. Isso deixou a prática de violão muito mais divertida e motivadora do que qualquer outro método que já usei. Agora estou realmente praticando e decorando os nomes dos acordes 🙂”

  • Arma secreta

    Brad

    “Não é só um afinador (o melhor que já usei, aliás), mas conta também com um metrônomo, jogos, acordes e uma variedade de instrumentos disponíveis, e é SUPERFÁCIL de navegar. Eu amo! Obrigado por criarem um aplicativo incrível. De um músico para outro: OBRIGADO!!!”

    theNewPaul

    “É um aplicativo excelente! Muito fácil de usar e muito confiável. Se você está começando agora, já pode deixar uma grande preocupação de lado: com ele, você afina rápido e sem dificuldade. Recomendo muito!”

  • É o melhor afinador de violão de todos os tempos.

    Caleb Schafli

    “Ele afina seu violão com precisão para que você obtenha o melhor som. Eu também gosto de todos os outros joguinhos, porque além de ensinarem a tocar diferentes acordes, ajudam a treinar o ouvido para reconhecer cada som, e tudo isso offline.”

  • Ótimo para afinar e tocar

    Lynae T

    “Adoro a facilidade de afinar, encontrar e tocar minhas músicas favoritas.”
