## What is BetterPitch?

See your pitch in real-time and transform the way you practice ear training.

BetterPitch is a rich collection of pitch-tracking tools for musicians. If you’re a singer or a fretless instrument player and you want to improve your pitch, or if you’re in search of one of the best free chromatic tuners for iOS, this is for you.

FREE Advanced Chromatic Tuner: for guitar, bass, ukulele, banjo and orchestral instruments, featuring a comprehensive list of traditional and alternate tunings, completely free of charge. No sign-ups, no ads, just grab it and go.

Visual Vocal Tracker (Pro Feature): Developed in collaboration with a recording studio, this lets singers visually track their pitch over a set range and immediately see when they're in tune and when they’re not. It fast-tracks quality performances in the vocal booth and helps minimize the number of takes. It works great for violin, viola and cello too!

Precision Tracker (Pro Feature): This advanced chromatic tuner plots pitch on a rolling graph, showing pitch relative to the nearest note. In addition, this can be overlayed on an audio spectrogram, letting singers examine the intonation of their attack, sustain and release, all while visualizing their sibilance, plosives and overtones like formant.

Track, record and review: Make lossless recordings at your device’s highest fidelity while simultaneously tracking your pitch. Pitch tracking works on playback too.

Pro features: Invest in your talent with BIFL pro features — no subscriptions, no sign-ups, private and with a generous trial period.

Ready to level up your game as a musician? Download BetterPitch now and start using your eyes and your ears to improve your pitch.


Note: The app’s pitch trackers can track a single-voiced (monophonic) instrument, and work best when there’s minimal background noise.

### 5/5 — Perfect for vocal resonance training

*2025-04-23*

I found this app by using OpenAi’s ‘Deep Research’ feature (to help me find an iPhone app that could accurately measure my vocal energy, resonance and harmonics). This app delivers. Easy to use, stable, accurate. I paid for it after the trial ended, use it daily now. 

Pro tip: you can use the app’s spectrogram to record your voice…then take screen shots of any part of that spectrogram and feed the screenshots to ChatGPT (I recommend o3 model) to interpret like a voice coach would. The Ai will read the images and tell you exactly what your voice is ‘doing’ harmonically and what to physically practice to improve vocal energy and resonance at different frequency bands. 

This kind of analysis just wasn’t possible for most folks previously. I’m pretty amazed by it.
