Singscope 4+

Awesome for seeing how on pitch you are and has help me realize many of my bad singing habits (I only sing for fun, but would like to improve a bit). I sometimes use it to find what pitch a singer is singing in, but with instruments in the background, the app doesn’t always pick out the voice, it doesn’t bother me too much though. There are very few apps that are free and offer you realtime pitch analysis, so this app is really a lifesaver, I love it.

Great app with lots of uses, whether you want to record your voice or instrument, or just pitch notes. That leads to one issue however. While it’s great to see the difference in pitch, the app tends to pitch notes (specifically chest voices and fried notes) incredibly incorrectly. Sometimes I can sing a note (say, a D2) and it will either struggle to find the pitch or pitch it a couple notes below or above it. It works great for most instruments, but for anything that tends to make undertones and overtones (like the human voice singing through a microphone) it misjudged the pitch. Also after comparing this app to other sources (piano, pitch finders), it tends to pitch higher notes down a little bit (maybe a half step or a little more). I do not recommend this app if you plan on using it exclusively to pitch your voice, but it works great on everything else. I think it need an improvement on how it detects pitches, as overtones mess it up real bad. Otherwise, it is worth you time if you want to sate your curiosity of what pitch certain things are.

So. I download this app. THEN I get an annoying pop up telling me that the app has a new update literally (i mean literally) 2 minutes into using the app. Is that so? Is there really an update? I click the pop up and it’s for december 2020. Last I check, we’re in january of 2021. Any and all updates should have been included in my download of the app. Also, it does jackshit to actually show you what notes you are singing. I know that my B notes are strong and they’re the best I can do. It shows me singing shakily and off key. How am I off key when I have a physical instructor directing me how to sing and which notes I’m hitting.

Useless garbage.
