### 1/5 — App microphone stopped working

*2025-05-11*

This app worked wonderfully in the free version. The minute I bought full access for $2.99 and changed the settings to Do-Re-Mi it would no longer pick up my voice. I tried putting all the settings back, closing and re-opening the app, and nothing worked. Just wasted $2.99.

### 1/5 — No good for me

*2023-07-02*

Seems to expect you to be able to sing the note without hearing it. Hopeless for me. Graphics look reassuringly childish but no use if you want help finding the note aiming to replicate it. Will delete.

### 1/5 — good concept terrible execution

*2020-09-28*

The app has serious issue. It for some reason does not process the microphone sound well. I suspect the developer used some plug and play and probably even used the wrong library for the purpose.

### 1/5 — Okaaayyyy

*2018-06-27*

So this app worked wonderfully for about 15 minutes then it just started to freeze. Then I deleted and redownloaded it only for it the break in about 10 more minutes asking me to sign up for a plan that cost money.
