It works. It’s worth it. But ugly, with annoying start-up sound
It’s useful, and I bought the custom CGDA tuning I needed for my tenor guitar. Thank you, kind developer, it gets the job done 🙏🏻
On the other hand, it’s fully skeuomorphic, which makes it look and feel 10 years out of date. It starts every time with a questionably-useful home screen mode. And it always plays a start-up sound, which apparently I can’t configure to shut up.
So, while useful, and worth it, it’s not a _joy_ to use. And the start-up noise is super obnoxious.
I would give it 4 stars if the start up sound could be turned off. And 5 if the home screen was removed, or the app opened on the actual functionality. With these improvements, it could be a fast and indispensable app to support band practices or memory-refreshing while waiting in a queue. Otherwise, its clunkiness makes me want to open it as little as possible, with my phone muted.
Very useful
Very intuitive and great if you’re starting out ... I am.
Great little App for Mandolin
This app is a great app for tuning and alternative cord positions.
Great App for Mandolin.
This is a really good reference guide and learning app. Best one I've found so far for the Mandolin.

Easy to use and very useful for a beginner with a bit of guitar playing knowledge. Thanks.
Mandolin Companion
Very useful little app. Great for tuning... with a very clear sound.
Also has a good variety of simple chord shapes, especially so since they can be sounded out. The metronome is quite a bonus, with a good variety of sounds and rhythms available.
Excellent for the price (nowt)
Impressed
I was very happy with this app as I can only tune it this way
Mandolin
The best app I have found and I really rate it top marks thanks
Mandolin freeze
Fantastic little app, unfortunately not compatible with iOS6 yet, but sure it will be sorted out soon.
Stuck on load screen
Having tried other apps by the developer I suspect it is excellent, the problem is that this doesn't get past the startup screen when using iOS 6. Shame.
