Makes electronic noises, but not as cute as R2D2 :-(
It is a highly responsive and stable tuner, and the size, solid metal casing and LED lighting make it a great item that is easy to use and see on a dark stage. Having said that, the (defective?) unit I received makes very noticeable electronic noises when in tuning mode.
Stepping on the switch to engage the tuning mode cuts off the signal from the signal-out connection. There is no option to allow for tuning without cutting the signal, which is sometimes necessary in a live situation or due to the set up of your pedal signal chain.
As the LED lights switch on and off rapidly to display the graphical equivalent of a shifting needle on a tuning meter (to indicate your pitch) the unit buzzes, whizzes, hums and beeps like R2D2 -- only not nearly as cute. It would have been somewhat tolerable if I had the option to let the guitar signal through and perhaps hide those horrible noises, but I can't.
I had thought about returning this unit, but am now considering keeping it for its size, price, high responsiveness and LED-lighting feature. I will just have to go to the amp and turn off the standby switch every time I'm tuning. I haven't made up my mind yet *sigh*

Slow - but functional
Like most of the mooer pedals I have tried, the construction is solid. Visibility of the LCD is good, though I would be hesitant to use it at an outdoor gig.
Compared to the korg Pitchblack and a couple random headstock tuners, I would rate the accuracy of the mooer as 'close enough'. But it is noticably slower getting there and less smooth when settling in on the desired note. Still perfectly usable, especially considering the price. If you have the money, you will be better served by the A Pitch Black or a Poly Tune. If you are on a budget, this one will do the job.

Good tuner, but pops loudly
Does the tuning part well, but pops quit loudly through the signal chain. Not very pleasant in the PA when everything is quiet…

Awesome tuner!
Bought it for playing guitar at home and gigging.
Pros:
- Very aesthetic (at least IMO). Beautiful colours and contrasts.
- Some tuners that use red and green are impractical for me because of my colour blindness. This one shows blue if it's in tune, and red/green if it's not, which makes it really convenient for me.
- The tuning is fast and rather precise.
- True bypass.
Cons:
- The biggest con is that it doesn't tune the low E string well for me. Almost all the time, when it says that my low E is in tune, and I check it with the A string, it seems to be tuned a bit too high. So I always have to tune the low E in a way that the tuner shows it's slightly flat.
All in all, I like this pedal, mostly because of it's beautiful colors, and the problem with low E tuning doesn't bother me too much, but it's still an issue.

Buggy tuner
Cool for the price, but no so precise some times. For the majority of the time works without flaws, but it has the need to turn it off a couple times, due to bugs on the lcd. Otherwise, very functional beast.

This tuner is OK and will get the job done in most of the cases. But don't expect anything more fancy from it
Tuner is ok. It has a minimal display that could be somehow more helpfull. Colors and brightness are fine - not tested in sunlight though. Overall it is a good budget solution that will get the job done.
