  • It’s OK

    It’s OK. The thing I don’t like about this app is it punishes you for trying to learn from your mistakes. This goes against the growth mindset and current best teaching practices.

  • Worst app

    It makes me sound bad😓😓
  • NO VIBRATO ALLOWED!!!!!!!!

    This app is kind of ridiculous because it doesn’t let you have any sort of vibrato at all. It makes you sing it completely straight tone, and as a professional singer, that’s not only hard to do, but just plain wrong technique. The Exercises are fun and the progression of them is good for students, but if you want to have young students do these exercises, Singing straight tone like that isn’t healthy for young singers to get in the habit of doing. If you have vibrato it takes off points for “intonation” as it reads vibrato as wrong notes. Not a good app for young singers or to work on proper technique!!!!

    Developer Response

    Update (5/19/21): Hey! Our latest update includes improvements to our vibrato algorithm. You can now see if a note has vibrato by tapping it after recording. You'll also be able to see a 'vibrato average' line which averages which pitch you were singing from the vibrato. Thanks again for your feedback! // Thanks so much for this interesting feedback! It hadn't occurred to us that some singers might want to sing with significant vibrato. We are going to investigate whether we can update the scoring algorithm to recognize and allow for vibrato.
  • Sight singing app

    This is great for improving your sight singing.
  • This helps so much!!

    I LOVE this app! Thank you so much to the developers for making it free too :’)))
  • Needs Solfege

    This app is ALMOST perfect, if you can add a feature that teaches solfege, this will be the app I use to teach students solfege.
  • The free sight singing app I’ve been looking for

    So far, this app rocks. I was out of practice for a long time on my sight singing, but this app is helping me get that skill back! It’s intuitive and the exercises are good. They’re not repetitive either so you don’t have to worry about memorizing the exercises if you use it a lot.

    I like that it records you and plays you back instantly, with the piano notes and your pitch on a line graph. Really keeps you honest. Right now I don’t have a voice teacher to give me feedback, so it’s essential that I be able to hear myself.

    This app can be useful for any level. I could see it helping a beginner who wants to learn to read music, an intermediate musician tuning their ear, or even an advanced musician who requires dynamic sight reading drills. It helps to be familiar with key signatures and their relative minors, or have a cheat sheet handy.

  • So elegant, beautiful, and UX is incredible!

    I really admire the effort you put into not just the functionality but also the design and UX! So many apps these days seem to not put a second of thought into it but this app definitely does!!!
