Guitar Tuner - LikeTones

Guitar tuning by ear or automatic detection

Guitar Tuner - LikeTones is a Music & Audio app for tuning a guitar with either automatic note detection or played reference tones. It suits players who want quick guidance from their phone, as well as beginners working on their listening skills. Play a string in automatic mode and the app identifies the note, then indicates how to adjust it. You can also tap a guitar note to hear a tuned sound and match your string against it yourself.

Useful if you need more than one tuning

The app is designed around guitar tuning rather than general instrument support. Alongside its standard tuning tools, it includes different guitar tuning variations, so it can fit players who switch between setups. A reference-frequency setting provides another way to adapt the tuner to your instrument or playing situation. Left-handed mode and notation-language options make the interface more adjustable without changing the basic tuning process.

Simple tool, configurable details

LikeTones presents the main choice clearly: use automatic detection for speed, or use real guitar sounds when you want to compare notes directly. Dark mode is available for lower-light practice, and additional information settings add context for users who want more than a basic pitch reading. The app is free and has no ads, which may matter when comparing it with a tuner whose extra controls come with a busier interface or interruptions.

What its track record suggests

With a 4.95 rating from 97,658 reviews and more than 1,000,000 installs, Guitar Tuner - LikeTones has broad adoption and strong user feedback. It is developed by LikeTones. The main trade-off is focus: this is a dedicated guitar tuner, not an all-purpose music utility. Choose it if accurate guitar guidance, alternate tunings, and reference sounds are more useful to you than a wider set of unrelated audio tools.
