For solo playing, I reckon that is the best way, get one string right, then tune to that. There's a good series of cross checks, and a good instrument and a good job done when they all line up. I had, and not to say parted with, an instrument recently, that just never tuned to itself, no matter what we did. Took it back to the shop and they fiddled with the bridge, took the bone saddle out and put it back the other way in fact. I know they grind them a bit this or that way off centre to get them right. Yes, a class instrument would have individual screws or something on the bridge to do that. These are ukuleles and don't have that.
anyway, the one string method works Ok, and there are tone related tuners, for guitar, ukulele, mandolin; and so on. The sound quality of the tones isn't that good, but pitch must be right. I know all the ones I had off the same source were simply called guitar tuner, ukulele tuner, mandolin tuner; those as search terms brought up loads of stuff that was wholey visual and actually named something else. So there's more options yet. I am NOT! a lover of tuning pipes.

I use it quite successfully. Tune in small increments, and remember that it could be five cents off either way. It works well enough to get me mostly in tune, and if I have to adjust a few strings to match the rest, no big deal.
