Great for gigs
This tuner by D'Addario is very compact and lightweight. I like how it folds and turns into every possible angle. I own many (!) products by D'Addario and have never been disappointed by that brand. They just seem to make very good products.
As for the accuracy of the tuner I would say that it's very good. Then again, I use every tuner mainly to align my ukuleles with other instruments from the band. I believe, most instruments (guitars, ukuleles, etc.), no matter how poorly or well they are built, need to be tuned by ear in the end for best results. No tuner can replace the trained ear that knows the specific instrument and knows exactly which notes, overtones and harmonies need to align for the perfect tuning.

Great tuner
This is a fantastic tuner for a number of reasons.
-Charging capability just makes sense, no need to deal with annoying little batteries anymore.
-The battery lasts quite a while. I teach Guitar five days a week and use the tuner multiple times a day for myself and for most of my students and the battery will last for at least 4 weeks before even getting to the orange charge warning. Even then it will last for a week before it gets to the red.
-The clip has a two point swivel and a hinge to position the tuner practically any way you need to to get the best view.
-The LED lights are nice and bright, I haven't used the tuner in strong sunlight but I would imagine you would still be able to read the display.
The only one drawback of this tuner versus some others is that there are no preset modes for standard tunings on some popular instruments. Personally I never use those modes as the chromatic mode can do any tuning you want but some beginners find the preset tuning modes useful.

Finally usb rechargeable
Why’d it take so long.. every other gadget has been usb rechargeable for years now, so finally D’addario have take the leap, and we’ll done… no anxiety about battery replacement, a super colourful screen, quickly recharges,, very responsive in the headstock auto shutdown when not in use… fantastic.. it’s quite small though, but it’s a great breakthrough!

The worst tuner from D'addario so far
I will keep this short. The tuner looks sturdy, I like the compact size and overall functionality. But... The clamp barely fits my classical guitars headstock. The display I find confusing at best. And my final point: It is inaccurate. It takes it ages to be able to pick up the bass strings being plucked and when it finally does the tuning is all over the place. I can't recommend it.

Easy to pack great slim design and tunning to whatever tunning setup you want comes with ease. Best of all you simply charge when low on battery
