iPitchPipe App Reviews

Great to have at my finger tips when at choir practice especially during sectionals.

This is a great simple app. Im undergoing speech therapy after a total thryoidectomy that affected my speaking and singing voice. I need and was going to buy an actual pitch pipe, but I thought just for the heck of it, why dont I check and see if theres an app for that. Well I found it. I found 2 actually that I liked, but this one is the best and the one I use most often. Its always with me and handy. Good job.

Easy to use, sounds good. Suggestion: make it play even when the phone is set to silent.

This app is too quiet even with all volumes turned up.

Very loud, so no problem there. Good changes with the update. Would be nice if I could adjust the time (1-10 seconds, for example) that the tone played. But still a useful app.

I lead a capella worship and forgot my pitch pipe. I remembered seeing the app on another iphone. Downloaded and it works great. No problem with volume for me, I had to turn it down.

Great app. No complaints.

Sound isnt very realistic, graphics are kind of lame, but the app works and is probably the best one available. -The tone should play for only as long as you tap on the icon; theres no reason to have to listen to it for 3 seconds. It isnt too hard to do, just get a very short sample and loop it until you get the touchUp event. -The low C (& maybe c#) is still out of tune. Play a real pitch pipe at the same time, its pretty obvious. Like I said, prob the best option out there but its far from perfect.

I, too, have been waiting (and waiting, and waiting..) for the long-promised, but still nonexistent F-F functionality. I like the way the app functions and the tone it produces (except for the low C and the C#), but I really need the F-F.

Only two improvements needed, and one of them may be a phone limitation. I need more volume for the pitch, and I want the F-F version. Those two items and it would be 5 stars.

Works exactly the way I need it to- great app for my iPod Touch- I use it when leading songs in my Church- volume can be adjusted from barely audible to loud enough for several other people to hear- and the easy start and stop of the tone is a great plus.

This is a very accurate simulation of a real chromatic pitch pipe. Its even a little out of tune like the real thing but close enough to give you a working reference tone. I would ask that the tone stop when your finger is removed from the trigger rather than requiring an additional touch, which makes for irritatingly long sustain. Perhaps this could be a different operating mode. What would also make this a 5 star app would be the addition of a pure sine wave tone option. It does however do what it is touted to do and the graphic is perfect.

First, let me say that this app is exactly what it claims to be, a pitch pipe. I just would like more functionality to make it perfect! It would be very cool if you could supply a song list that I can load full of the songs I sing with the pitch that each song requires. I could then just touch the song and have the correct pitch for that song play. Thanks, and I hope you consider this idea!

Ive been a customer since version 1.0 and finally the promised F-F version has arrived! However, several major issues: 1. Out of tune. The low F and high F are clearly not correctly tuned. The intervals throughout the scale have pitch inaccuracies. 2. On the F-F version, the low F to C are the exact same recorded sounds from the C-C; which would be fine except there is a clearly audible difference between those recordings and the "new" recordings from C# up to the high F. 3. For those of us who want the F-F version every time we open the app, we have to change from C-C to F-F. Next update would be great if user could select which version would open (or if it could just open to the last version used?). Thanks!

Weve waited quite a long time for F-F, and all we get is this half-assed attempt...

Theres a legal standard known as merchantability. This product doesnt meet it. Our money should be refunded.

simple app simulates a pitch pipe--no frills or thrills. I can live with the slight inaccuracy in the F-F. To think of all the times over he last 50 years I could have whipped this baby out (Murphys Law: your usual pitch pipe is always lost or broken!)

I use this to lead a capella singing in my church, and for that it works wonderfully. The F-F inaccuracy is not an issue for me because Im always using C-C. There are a couple of enhancements Id like to see: 1. Seems like the volume is dependent on a combination of both the volume slider on the app and the ringer volume of the phone, regardless of whether the mute switch is on or off. Its easy to lose track of what the volume is going to be until youre standing up in front of the congregation and the volume is either too quiet...or TOO LOUD. 2. A feature Id love to see is the ability to enter a small list of song numbers and pitches that can be recalled later. I would imagine this would be useful for song leaders, band musicians, etc. Id like to enter 6 to 8 songs, each with a number, a title, and a pitch. Then replace the portion of the screen where the "F-F" vs "C-C" switch is with controls to show the currently selected list item, advance to next/previous item in the list, and edit the list. Each time a new list item is selected, the pitch is selected - not played - on the pipe (maybe by rotating the pipe, or adding the white rotating arm found on some pipes). Then the user knows what pitch to sound without having to look at the music. The ability to save/recall multiple lists and import lists would be even more helpful. The Sunday after installing this app, I truly did forget to bring my pitch pipe to church, and had to "go live" with iPitchPipe unexpectedly. It worked great and has ever since!

Most of the other simple pitch pipe apps werent user friendly or were buggy. This one gives you just what you ask for, an easy to use, digital pitch pipe.

All notes are sharp to varying degrees. The F on the C-C is VERY sharp. The whole thing is off. Worthless.
