Description
Pocket Pitch is a simple tool for singers who need to be able to quickly identify or play notes. This app combines a pitch pipe and piano so that you have two of the quintessential tools of a singer!
The Pitch Pipe is its primary function. It uses professionally recorded sound so that the audio experience is just like carrying around a pitch pipe with you.
The Keyboard allows for 6 octaves of pitches, ideal for vocal warm-ups or plunking out notes.
The Info page allows the user to provide feedback directly to the developer. The goal is to make the best free mobile app for singers, so input is greatly appreciated.

Ratings and Reviews
Tuning the Pitch
I sing in a semi-professional local LGBTQIA chorus in Louisville, KY. While I do have a keyboard downstairs, I don’t use it often since chancing upon this app during Covid.
I highly recommend this app, especially in the keyboard mode. I tried the pitch-pipe mode but found it more difficult to navigate. I did learn to read music at an early age but was never able to focus long enough to practice, so use my voice as my my musical instrument.
When our wonderfully trained and experienced director tells us to find the middle of the pitch, I can easily hear it in this app.
Thank you!!!!

Glad to know you are getting good use out of it!
Be the one that knows the note
Extremely simple and easy to use digital pitch pipe. Recently found myself in a situation where the music director for the musical that I’m in quit- half way through rehearsals. And with him went his piano- this saved me last at last nights rehearsal when not only did it find my F#, but I literally pounded notes with it.
Not to mention everyone thought I was way more professional that I actually am!! Bonus points for that!! Get this!!
Very handy
My mom, a former opera singer, turned me on to this tuner. She uses it to determine what note singers in recorded performances “actually” hit, rather than what was written! (She’s a stickler!!😊) It is a nifty little app with a surprising number of options!
I dropped a star for the following reasons:
I play bass, so for tuning in the lower register, I have to use the keyboard to match the pitch because the pitch-pipe is way too many octaves away (at least for my ear), and the timbre is a little nasal and hard to hear from a tiny phone speaker compared to a bass amplifier. However, I find this tuner FAR preferable to Fender’s version. (And you can turn the ads off!)
The keyboard option with so many octaves is really handy, but I find latency a bit of an issue if trying to peck out a melody at tempo.
I’ve had and used this app for at least a couple of years and have recommended it to several people because it is SO straightforward.
