* Due to technical limitations, fine tuning is currently unavailable when using the clarinet or piano sound options on Apple Watch.
After looking over all of the available pitch pipe apps and trying several of the free ones, I decided to invest $0.99 on Pitch, Please! Well worth the investment - the pitches are precise, it's great to be able to span 3 octaves, and the piano note in particular is loud enough without sounding for too long a period of time.
I like this app because it is set up like an actual pitch pipe. Other free apps I tried had just pitches listed. I like the option of having a clarinet, piano, or tone. The tone option sounds much like a real pitch pipe. Plus you have two options ending the pitch. It can die on its own after a few seconds or you can press the center again and it will mute the pitch. I also like the options for tuning. Every band/choir is different, so you can adjust your tuning to them with this app.
What sold me on this app is the fact that it will still function when the phone sound is turned off. This is absolutely essential in a performing environment. It is visually pleasant, and easy to use. It automatically switches octaves as you click around the circle, and its tone options are nice, too. In the future I'd love to have volume control within the app, but the phone's volume buttons certainly work fine for now. Nice job designing this app!
The addition of the portrait lock setting makes this version much more usable than the last update. Sometimes it's the little things that make a big difference! Thanks for responding so quickly to the feedback.
Great App! It would be great if you created a widget for the iPhone like the one you created for forScore for the iPad. It would be very helpful to have that widget on my iPhone.
Love the minimal design and the app works exactly as advertised. Would love a widget like forScore has on iPad.
I tested it on the piano and the notes are in tune. I'm thrilled that it was so easy to get a new pitch pipe that works so well. Now I'll have it with me wherever I go. I'm a fan.
Just what I was looking for. I wanted a back up in case I ever left my actual pitch pipe at home when I needed it (not a fun surprise). This app is great and it has some nice customization features that other apps don't have. Hearing the sound when my phone is on silent was essential, and it's neat that you can quickly adjust different aspects of the tone.
This is by far and away the best pitch pipe app out there. The interface is clean and intuitive, and I like how I can choose three different octaves. Also, this app still sounds when your phone is in silent mode, which I noticed is not the case with other apps. Your search is over—this is the pitch pipe app you need!
It works perfectly. It’s super easy. I probably would have bought it just for the name, which is awesome. It’s just like a pitch pipe in that you just rotate the dial or Digital Crown to access pitches...but doesn’t get gross or germy, not does it get out of tune. I’m a voice teacher and active choral musician.
