What gStrings is

gStrings is an Android chromatic tuner that measures sound pitch and intensity. It can tune violin, viola, cello, bass, guitar, piano, wind instruments, and voice. Choose a target tone automatically or select one manually, then use built-in or user-defined tunings and temperaments. Orchestra tuning lets you shift or redefine tone frequencies, and the app includes a pitch pipe. You can also create custom instruments, use alternate tunings, and set a custom reference pitch. gStrings works offline. The free version is ad-supported, and the maker says it has the same functionality as the paid version. The free plan costs nothing. The maker says it does not process personal information for its own purposes, though AdMob may collect information to serve ads and share collected personal information with advertising partners. The maker identifies Waves as a deprecated product.
