PolyTune Clip-on tuner for $34.99!

Well the deal is good no doubt, but I am not sure yet if I like the product or not :)
I did not like the fact that it turns off pretty quickly when I'm still tuning. The site says 5 minutes to turn off, but I feel is more like 3 minutes. I will have to time it; maybe I got a bad one.
Also, they do not make clear that multiple string tuning is only possible for guitars! Not that I would be using it a lot, but this should be evident. I believe the strategy is to hide this info, so people don't go for the cheaper Unitune instead.
 
It does work with the bass but one string tuning at the time like a cheap $10 Snark can do very well.
The all string tuning only works for guitars and they sort of do not mention it. It is buried inside the instruction manual.
