Pros and cons of Global Tuner app for iPhone and iPad

Global Tuner app good for

The interface isnt very intuitive, but once I figured it out, I was able to quickly tune my ukulele. It usually takes me forever to tune it by ear, so this was much easier and more accurate. Definitely works!
Personally this is the best tuner app Ive used. Its actually replaced my regular inline tuner for acoustic tuning
Thats it. Thats all I wanted. A basic instruction page would have been nice. Took me a bit to figure out where Ukuleles were.

Some bad moments

Did an update and it wont load. Crashes every time. I wish the developer would cross his Ts & dot his Is before updating in the app store.
Wish I could tell you how good this app is, but just crashes at load screen every time.
This may be the greatest app ever. It may tune guitars, banjos, bagpipes, ouds, mandolins, zithers, and pianos. It may even tune engines, for all I know. Sadly, on this original iPad, thats had a full memory cleaning and clearing, all it does is crash. I look forward to actually seeing it work at some point. However, this (and all other versions that Ive tried) crash before the splash screen.
This worked terrifically, playing one note, before crashing. So if you only need one note played one time, this is the app for you.
I can see where if it were stable it might be useful to musicians with esoteric needs. For a vast majority, it probably presents too many options.
Everyone else says it stinks, I think its great! It works fine on my iPad mini and doesnt crash it at all and is easy to understand
