Pocket Pitch - The Singer App

I never write a review about an app, but I really love this app. I downloaded this app a few days ago because the pitch pipe app was no longer compatible with the iOS software on my phone. When I downloaded it, it resembles, in pretty modern graphics as a pitch pipe. However, I found that you can change it to keyboard mode. If you sing and need to pluck nots out to learn a song, you can do it anywhere with this app in keyboard mode. I can't say enough about this app. The graphics make it nice to look at and use and it having a keyboard mode is a plus in itself. Again, this is great for singers who want to work on pitch, for choirs who travel. These days more people carry their smartphones than their pitch pipe, but with this app you can have both. If you don't want to see the ads, you would have to pay 99 cents. The ads, don't really hurt the performance of it, but I just paid the fee because I see enough ads everywhere else.

I am currently learning 16 songs and this is used with them all! I’m in 3 choirs and everyone have this downloaded! It’s great when we go off and work sections. We can play our notes at the same time. My one bit of advice to the creators is to make it possible to play from one device two pitches at the same time. We each play the notes on our separate phones but it would be easier to use just one. Thanks!

I just installed Pocket Pitch, and as I have only relative pitch, I find it wonderfully useful. The pitch pipe section sounds like an air-blown pitch pipe, but volume is given by the controls on the phone, not by a larger or smaller amount of air. And the keyboard section sounds remarkably like an electric piano, and has four octaves of notes, based on A=440. To get my bearings and practice singing, it’s perfect. I very highly recommend Pocket Pitch!

I think this app is pretty good! One thing I wish was different is about the piano portion of the app. I think it would be helpful if the screen would switch from up and down, to side to side one your screen; I feel like this would make it easier to play the notes (and since it is supposed to be a piano, it would make it more realistic). Overall, this app is pretty cool and I would defiantly recommend it to anyone who’s considering getting it or not.

Thanks for the free app but some things I’d love to see improved that I would pay for is a built in auto tuner to test my voice ( and tune up my guitar). Also a dark mode would be huge. Using dark apps like GarageBand and then going to this on my iPad is like looking into the sun (slight exaggeration). Speaking of iPad it would be very nice to let the app rotate so I’m not always looking at it sideways. And one last thing, it would be nice if the note tones looped seamlessly instead of hearing the break in your audio sample.
