Have you ever wished you could just hear a song and play it back? Or sing any note you hear, on pitch, without thinking?
Pitchstar is the iPhone ear training app that gets you there, five minutes a day. It's the only ear trainer that actually listens to you sing, with real-time pitch feedback on every exercise. Beautiful. Friendly. Effective. Built for singers, music students, music teachers, and anyone who wants to hear music the way pros do.
WHO IT'S FOR
Singers and choir members who want to lock in their pitch.
Music students cramming solfege, intervals, or sight singing.
Guitarists, pianists, and instrumentalists who want to play by ear.
Music teachers looking for an app to assign to their class.
Total beginners who've always wanted a "musical ear" but didn't know where to start.
WHAT MAKES PITCHSTAR DIFFERENT
Sing-back ear training. Most ear-training apps make you tap multiple-choice buttons. Pitchstar uses your microphone to listen as you sing. Every exercise gives you real-time feedback on your actual pitch. The tuner shows exactly where you are. Your accuracy gets a little tighter every session.
A structured Star Map curriculum. No guessing what to practice. The Star Map lays out everything you need to learn, one topic at a time. Finish one, unlock the next. Always know what you've completed and what's ahead.
Beautiful design built for daily practice. Five minutes a day, pretty enough to actually open. No clunky interface, no intimidating textbook layout. Just clean exercises that make practicing feel good.
WHAT YOU'LL PRACTICE
Pitch matching. Start matching simple notes from day one. Build up to finer differences. Watch your accuracy climb session by session.
Solfege and relative pitch. Learn to hear the relationships between notes by singing solfege syllables. Start with simple patterns, work up to recognizing any note's role in a key.
Intervals. Begin with the easy ones, the ones your ear already knows from songs. New intervals layer in as the basics click. Before long you're recognizing them in real music without thinking.
Harmony. A chord plays. You identify the quality. Major? Minor? Something spicier? It starts simple and builds.
Rhythm. Listen to a pattern, clap it back. As your timing locks in, the patterns get more interesting.

This app does what it’s supposed to do, and does it in an attractive, charming way. The graphics are amusing but not distracting. The app’s design is excellent and is constantly being improved. Whether you sing solo or in a choir, this is a good way to improve your performance.
Nice visuals. Doesn’t work.

The program is full of bugs. Their claim to fame is supposed to be that your microphone listens to you sing pitches and helps you improve accuracy. Great idea. Problem is, it doesn’t work. No amount of singing at every volume level makes the app react, despite there being nothing otherwise wrong with my microphone or settings. I even used the app’s built -in microphone adjustments (which worked fine) but still the app itself wouldn’t respond to sung pitches in any octave. This could be a good app (I think), but at the moment SHE IS BROKE.
Developer Response
Thanks so much for bringing these issues to my attention! As a solo dev it can be hard to reproduce and catch everything.I’ve tracked down and fixed a bunch of issues around the reliability of the audio engine and specific conditions that would cause it to break or freeze. If you end up giving the app another shot and continue to run into issues I would love to know so I can continue to improve things. I can always be reached through the form at https://pitchstar.app/contact, or by emailing help@stillmindmusic.com.Thanks again for giving my app a try and providing valuable feedback! I hope your next experience is better after these fixes.-Trevor
FINALLY!! A pitch app worth downloading
Jameson's My Middle Name
I’ve been trying pitch apps for a while and this one is hands down the best I’ve tried. Lessons are the perfect length. It’s a must for anyone trying to improve their pitch when singing.
Best app for ear training!
J. Buckwalter
Easily the best out there. The solfège centered training really helps to both understand and retain pitch knowledge, intervals, rhythms, and more. And it’s leagues above other apps on polish and fun interface. Highly recommended!
What's New in 1.2.3:
• Singing exercises are smarter about what counts. If you're close to the note, progress builds instead of resetting, so beginners can finish without lowering the bar. Wrong notes still won't pass.
• New: miss a listening question and you can tap "Hear answer" to hear the chord and the correct note sung with its syllable, so you learn the sound, not just the name.
• We updated the curriculum to make learning new syllables a gentler climb, with an easier progression from your first exposure to full command.
• More reliable audio. We fixed some freezes and audio dropouts that could happen when you connect or disconnect headphones or Bluetooth during a lesson, and playback and pitch detection now stay steady when you switch devices.
• Smoother playback and animations, plus general performance improvements.
• Bug fixes and small improvements throughout.
