Comfortable to use

This app looks and works like a traditional pitch pipe. It is easy to give a pitch unobtrusively from the midst of the choir.

Abandoned?

I loved this app. I used it occasionally and it always did what I wanted. But on iOS 17.0.3 it crashes on launch. And it has not been updated for years.
