Roadie Tuner - Guitar Tuner

nice app supporting a great device for keeping my guitars in tune ;)

This company hasn’t updated the app in 2 years! And the tuner and app have considerable problems. For $130 you’d expect more. It breaks strings all the time because it forks them too hard. The app and tuner don’t sync information properly. The app basically has to be closed to get back to its home screen because there is no back button visible. Don’t buy this.

Besides the winding function, it’s completely unreliable. I’ve only ever gotten error codes and it stops on my high w string. Mine will never recognize my high standard e string in any gage or tuning. Never! Also, it is off on all other settings in both rapid and slow settings.

When you’re in the device settings menu in the app, there is no way to get back to the main menu. You have to close out the app to get back.

Promised features were never delivered, and the app and hardware firmware hasn’t been updated in over a year. It seems like the company has abandoned this project after getting money through Kickstarter, leaving us holding the bag. Shame.

The Tuner is great but unfortunately you need the app to easily create custom tunings. But the app keeps freezing and it just crashes. This really takes away from some of the nice features the physical tuner can do. Don’t buy the tuner if you want to make custom tunings until this gets fixed on the app. I gave it a 2 stars only because the physical tuner it’s self (Roadie 3) is actually a nice product.

iPhone 13, iOS 15.0.2., Roadie 2 Issues connecting to Bluetooth. Once connected, app freezes and it is unusable.

Charged up and tuned up both my acoustic and electrics in 2 minutes flat. Even my old banjo is happy. Going to be using the alternate tuning options like AC/DC’s old 430A songs - drove me nuts resetting my regular tuners and forgetting to reset them afterwards. App makes it much easier to fine tune the menu order, options and tuning settings before you hit the road.

For all the years I have been playing and tuning myself, I have never sounded better. You sound like a pro in a studio. Your guitar is perfectly tuned. So quick and easy to use, can store multiple tunings, and a charge lasts a very long time. This is the most impactful device available to any guitarist, and every guitarist should have one!

A fellow musician told me about the Roadie 2 so I put it on my Christmas wish list and Santa brought it to me. I couldn’t be happier.
