### 4/5 — nice but can be improved

*2026-07-20*

Great display of pitch accuracy. A pause function also in recording mode would be helpful. And 5+ rating would be a way to decrease/increase speed of display change

### 2/5 — Misses the pitch

*2026-06-22, version 2.4.5*

When used with GarageBand in GarageBand plays a C3 the Nail the Pitch app thinks that it’s a C5. Obvious disconnect here.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2026-04-01, version 2.4*

This, I wish I saw this sooner

### 2/5 — Lacks functionality

*2026-02-16, version 2.4*

Does not allow you to have a video playing on while you are also singing with headphones in (there are apps that do that) and cannot scroll back

### 2/5 — Very unusable

*2026-02-16, version 2.4*

I downloaded this because I’m someone who has ideas for melodies but don’t know specifically what notes to translate that to. Off the bat, I can’t playback or export the midi without paying?? I feel like those are such basic features. I know the purpose of this app wasn’t for that and it was for singing but it still sucks. I was just planning to see what notes it fell on but you can’t really see that far back in the recording.
I tried singing and it did help me to see when I was off key, but overall I don’t think this app is for me. I’d rather have ads so I could use features even if those make people more annoyed.

### 2/5 — My response

*2025-10-17, version 2.4*

It's just boring and I had to pay to do extra stuff  (I don't have any money) make it free please.

### 2/5 — Poor function

*2025-07-28, version 2.4*

I paid for the full version of this app so that I could scroll back-and-forth to monitor my pitch and to use the feedback. Paying extra does not allow you to go back-and-forth and to check your pitch as you go on it only shows you the first five seconds of your vocal calculation. I'll be asking for a refund.

### 4/5 — VSQX FILES PLEASE

*2025-07-21, version 2.4*

EXTREMELY useful for tracking the accuracy of your notes and pitch bends, and the midi export is nice, but I would unironically pay 8x the price for premium if you were able to export vocaloid sequence files, if you sing well, you could legitimately make miku sound better than Teto with hyper realistic pitch bend generated by your own voice

### 5/5 — .

*2025-06-26, version 2.4*

Super

### 3/5 — Disappointing

*2025-06-25, version 2.4*

The fact that PLAYBACK of AUDIO in an AUDIO APP is PAYWALLED makes me very disappointed. Would not recommend

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-04-20, version 2.4*

Thank you.

### 5/5 — Best voice pitch detector

*2025-03-17, version 2.4*

This software is so accurate and responsive. I have been searching for a long time. Many not accurate apps wasted my time. Now I found this great, simple app!

### 4/5 — Great app ! 🎶🎵

*2025-02-09, version 2.4*

i like to see the pitch in a pianol roll ! 

feature i would like is to be able to earn note of the piano when the detection is in pause for exemple 🥳

Thank you for this app devs ❤️

### 1/5 — えーっと....°(ಗдಗ。)°.

*2026-04-10, version 2.4*

まず結論から言わせてもらいます。ゴミ！！！
理由はもちろんありますよ。1つ目は、アプリを入れるだけならタダのくせに、履歴機能やファイル読み込みどころか、録音や再生までできません٩( ᐛ )وちなみに録音と再生には1,500円要りますね٩( ᐛ )و
まぁそれ見てレビュー書きにきたので、課金したら超高性能かも知れませんが、まぁ100%ないでしょう(*≧∀≦*)
2つ目は、これは私だけかも知れませんが、まだ課金しないといけないことに気がついていないままのとき、そりゃもう頑張って録音方法探してたんですが、まー充電の減りが早い早い(´⊙ω⊙`)
100%あった充電がたった１時間でなくなりましたよ？٩( ᐛ )و終わってますねwww
まーそんなこんなでこのアプリは充電を吸うくせに何も与えないゴミですゴミ٩( ᐛ )و
入れるだけ無駄だしこんなクソ運営に金が回ると思ったらはらわたが煮えくり返りますね٩( ᐛ )و

### 1/5 — 使い方がわからない

*2026-03-30, version 2.4*

使い方のチュートリアルもなく始まるからどうすればいいかわからないです。

### 1/5 — 我服了，骗我钱是吧

*2025-12-25*

我还以为专业版能把我的录音放进去识别呢，结果意思是现喊的音可以被录制进去保存……
能不能退钱啊

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

### 1/5 — 音準線根本亂跑啊

移調楽器用の色分け、音階表示ができるともっとありがたいです。
