Pitch Pipe Scale Buddy 4+

I agree with the previous reviewer, however I would be happy to pay a few dollars for an ad-free version. I refuse to use apps with ads in them, so looking elsewhere...

This app is useful for anyone who, for whatever reason, needs to find the pitch of a note when there's no musical instrument at hand. Would be especially useful for vocalists to find the right note to start singing, or anyone to find out what key a piece is in.

Any note of the chromatic scale can be chosen, corresponding to all the white and black keys of a piano. So it's more versatile than a simple tuning fork which only gives one note.

I love the simplicity of this app but have two suggestions for improvement. Firstly, I find that the notes continue sounding for too long without being able to attenuate the sound once it is struck, like a piano with the sustain pedal on. This results in quite a jumble of sound if playing several notes in succession. I think it would be greatly improved by giving each note a short duration.

Secondly, the option for a different tone, perhaps like an organ or a flute rather than a piano, would make it more appealing for me.

Thank you.

Downloaded this App. It doesn’t work. I allowed microphone access. When I select a pitch, it makes no sound.
