It would be nice to have one. :)
Edit: To be more precise i don't mean one that you tune by ear. We need one that you strum the string > uses the microphone to analyze the sound > displays how far off you are.

SailTuner is now available on harbour. Have fun !
For interested people, long description of app contain algorithm, as the Readme in github: https://github.com/LouJo/SailTuner
Thanks. Seems to be a bit sensitive and the "needle" and notes fluctuate a lot making hard to tune. Need to test more though.
What i'd like to see: Display a percentage of how off you are from the note you are tuning. In other words a more "digital" visual instead of an analog like interface. Also. A mode to choose/lock the note ie select E and tune for it.
And a question. Will it work with an instrument to headphone jack cable? (Something like that ) And has/can anyone test it?

Some suggestions:
It's jarring when the needle jumps back to the 9 o'clock position, would be nice if the movement was animated. Slightly smoother animation overall on the needle would be good, it is quite jittery.
The note name needs to be MUCH bigger.

Hello,
I am working on a chromatic multi-temperament tuner, not only for guitar. It should do the job.

For potential app developers you should be more specific
Tanghus ( 2014-02-17 21:44:00 +0300 )editAgreed @Tanghaus, agreed @ ApB. However, there are plenty of online guitar tuners, but an app is always nice! http://www.gieson.com/Library/projects/utilities/tuner/ Regards,

A guitar would get six strings and an ukelele would get four just by plucking the strings.
vattuvarg ( 2014-02-18 08:33:52 +0300 )editAiryware tuner on WindowsPhone is the best tuner I have tried so far. http://tuner.airyware.com/ I really miss something similarly accurate on Sailfish. There is also a quite detailed description of the app and its features here. http://filedir.com/windows-phone-apps/toolsandproductivity/airyware-tuner-3501890.html
I am not a programmer, but I once made a descent tuner using MaxMSP. It analysed the sound that was passed through the microphone, filtered out small fluctuations that happened within a very short timespan (to avoid "noise" in the readings) and I also ran the whole signal through a something-or-other that calculated the average (or mean) within a certain, very short, timeframe. This reduced noise even further. It displayed the note it was closest to (on a twelve note scale) and the frequency it was currently reading. As well as a pin that went between -50 to +50 cents where 0 was the exact tone that it was "closest to".
Adding stuff like tuning-guides (strd guitar, bass and ukulele, and alternative tunings) would be fairly easy to implement. If the user were to choose which tuning they were aiming for via a selector. But it is not very useful in my opinion. I think most people who need a tuner also know which notes they are aiming for.
I wish there was a way to port MaxMSP to anything else, as it is the only "programming" I know how to do. Hopefully someone will be able to make a descent tuner for Sailfish.
Edit: The stroboscopic view mode is a particularly nice addition, as it is, in my opinion, a very intuitive way of seeing how far from a note you are. You don't have to look at the cents and the pointerthingy.

But the Microsoft revised license is kinda annoying if i understand it correctly
https://github.com/microsoft-mobile/guitar-tuner/blob/master/Licence.txt#L14
... solely in connection with Microsoft Mobile devices (however branded).
