Resolved an issue where the app would not produce sound while the silent switch was on. Tones will now play even when the silent switch is on!

Pretty bad

The sound quality gets pretty (which was mediocre too begin with) gets terrible when you put it at louder volumes. Also, without the paid version you only get 10 minutes every hour. Get a different drone tone app.

Worthless

Response from developer

Please check to see if your "silent" switch is set to "off"? The app respects the silent switch on your device and will only playback tone sounds if the "silent" switch is set to "off".

Doesn’t produce sound

Tried a couple different versions (and price points of this app). None produced any sound.

FAQ

What is DroneTone Lite used for?

DroneTone Lite provides high-quality reference pitches using the sound of real cellos. It helps musicians develop a stronger internal sense of pitch and improve their intonation by practicing against a stable harmonic center.

Why use cello drones instead of electronic ones?

Cello drones offer richer overtones and are more pleasing to listen to than many electronic tone generators. They contain layered octaves to assist practice across various registers, enhancing the musicality of the practice experience.

How does DroneTone Lite help with pitch perception?

By playing a movable pitch (like an instrument or voice) relative to the fixed cello drone, users can better discern how multiple pitches interact. This practice strengthens the ability to perceive consonant intervals and the nuances within major and minor scales.

What is the learning methodology of DroneTone Lite?

The app's methodology centers on using a stable drone tone to build harmonic awareness. This allows musicians to train their ears to identify precise intervals and develop superior intonation, leading to more artistic musical expression.

How often is DroneTone Lite updated?

DroneTone Lite was last updated on December 18, 2023, with version 2.2.1. This indicates a relatively recent update, suggesting ongoing development and support for the application.
