### 2/5 — Verbesserungsvorschlag

*2026-05-15*

Es wäre besser die Tonhöhe als ein Diagramm darzustellen; um zu sehen wie weit ist es von der gewünschten Ton entfernt . Aufzählung als eine Liste bringt z. B. für die Sänger nicht viel.

### 4/5 — Really cool!

*2025-11-22, version 2.4*

I can’t lie this app is really good. The only thing that kinda bothers me is the fact that when I press record, it delays and won’t record. But apart from that, great app!

### 2/5 — Isn’t a full app

*2025-08-18*

Requires in app purchases to actually be useful. Such as hiding all features but 1 from behind a pay wall.

### 2/5 — barely works and slow

*2025-05-05*

idk why but when im on the app, no matter how much i click the screen, it doesn't do anything most of the time. when i finally manage to click the record button, most of the time i have to wait at least 20 seconds (sometimes more) for it to actually record, or just refresh the app

### 3/5 — Question

*2025-04-20, version 2.3*

I know the default is piano and I have the chance to buy more instruments in the one time purchase. But is Voice on that list?

### 5/5 — Cool

*2025-03-24*

It’s simple and nice!

### 5/5 — Works perfect

*2025-03-01*

If you are looking for an app, that delivers what it promises you have just found it. It works perfect. I have a steel tongue drum, and I did not know what the notes were. Using this app, I have learned that my tongue drum is the D major Scale. Awesome app.

### 5/5 — Note Scanner

*2025-02-15*

Super nice seeing classic notes while playing or singing!

**Developer response:** Happy to help!

### 5/5 — Totally awesome glad I found it

*2025-02-12*

It does exactly what it says it does. It listens and tells you what not it is. I was able to put a note to each tongue on my steel drum. Amazing.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-02-12*

Awesome app!

### 5/5 — Very good

*2025-02-11, version 1.2*

I like the app alot the only thing to change is to make a sensitivity slider

### 4/5 — Great Idea!

*2025-02-09*

this is a great idea, and the app works OK. But it has one small problem: there is no way to adjust the sensitivity of the microphone.. so when it’s quiet, the app thinks it detects input.

I would suggest to add a way to adjust the microphone sensitivity , so that background noises, or quiet sequences are not detected as notes

**Developer response:** Thanks for your input!  We'll add this to our list of future features.

### 4/5 — Needs Alto clef

*2025-02-04, version 1.2*

A handy little app to have. I play Viola and a little disappointed that it does not provide for alto clef. But Violists are used to being forgotten and neglected. 😞 I’ll take it up to 5 stars if you add alto clef. 🙏

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-01-12, version 2.4*

I press record and a pop up says enable mic access.. but it’s like they forgot to put this in settings because I look and all I see is options for Siri and Search. So.. I don’t know…???

### 1/5 — Wolf in sheep’s clothing.

*2025-09-23, version 2.4*

I was trying to identify my notes for Trumpet when I came across this app. You literally cannot switch from piano without paying for it. There are tens of thousands  of apps that do the same thing but free. Do not purchase the ad removal.

### 1/5 — Pay to use

*2025-08-29, version 2.4*

Why not just make you pay for the app

### 1/5 — Micro non activable

*2025-08-24*

L’utilisation est impossible car on ne peut pas activer le micro du fait que il n’apparaît pas dans la liste d’autorisation des microphones dans les réglages macOS. 

D’autre part le lien d’avertissement qui est indiqué à l’ouverture de l’application ne présente aucune option concernant le microphone.

Une mise à jour serait bienvenue pour pouvoir utiliser cette application.

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2025-05-30, version 2.4*

Not accurate at all it comes up with so many notes I have not played

### 1/5 — not working anymore

*2025-04-15*

Since the last update, the finder don’t print the note anymore, the app isn’t working for me anymore.
Ill put 5 stars back when itll work again

### 1/5 — Used to work

*2025-04-13, version 2.2*

👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 This app used to work now it is useless ! Here's the very annoying part it works when you go to demo it . You pay for it and it will never record another note !!!!! So glad it was cheap but it's still is annoying !!!!

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2024-11-16, version 1.2*

Can’t get the settings to enable the microphone permission!

### 1/5 — Dysfunctional? Please fix

*2023-11-26, version 1.2*

The app doesn’t even appear in settings so I can’t even enable microphone for it. I’m sure it’s a great app and many other people are saying wonderful things about it but for me it can’t even function. Please help

### 1/5 — I dont like this app

*2023-03-11*

I downloaded it and it just didn’t work

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — So good also a few suggestions

*2026-07-24*

This is one of the best ones I’ve had you should also make it so that you can review your history if you haven’t paid for it

### 5/5 — Best underrated tool for beatmaking and song writing

*2026-07-21*

im not pitch perfect nor do i feel like practicing it so this app is a blessing and there’s not too any ads actually this app is peak 🙏

### 5/5 — Круто!!! Спасибо вам!!!

*2026-04-13*

Очень классная прилажуха, заменяет знание нот 🤣 Просто огонь 🔥👏🏻

### 5/5 — Быстро и легко!

*2026-02-06*

Скачал, нажал Старт и программа сразу определила какая нота у моего колокола 👍🏻

### 5/5 — It Works!

*2026-01-13, version 2.4*

For anyone—like me—learning his (or her) way around musical notation, this is a real help.

### 5/5 — JCarlos

*2025-12-30, version 2.4*

Me es muy útil

### 5/5 — Precise.

*2025-09-20*

Very accurate. Would reccomend.

### 5/5 — Great for harmonica.

*2025-08-16, version 2.4*

I’m using it to help me accurately bend notes on a harmonica.

### 5/5 — Finds the note

*2025-05-25*

Simple interface, does what it claims

### 5/5 — Great app! But…

*2025-04-24*

I love this app but it seems that when there’s a note above b6, it’s too high for it to capture. As a soprano with a high range it’s a little frustrating because I don’t know if I’m hitting notes over the 6th octave.
