### 1/5 — One star rated

*2019-03-07*

Just didn’t work,sorry.

### 1/5 — Crashed every time I tried to use it

*2018-12-03*

Very basic and limited usage. It has crashed each time I use the tine feature. Volume level of the tone is also weak.

### 1/5 — Does not work, save your money.

*2014-09-04*

Does not work, save your money.  If it would let me I'd rate this zero stars, but I have to give it one to make the rating system work.

### 1/5 — Not good for voices

*2013-02-13*

I need a pitch app to measure the frequency of human voice. This app does not work for voices. It displays the wrong pitch and is highly inaccurate. When I reconfigured the fundamental of A, the app displayed a more appropriate pitch but was not sensitive to any changes. It remained at the same freq. for different speakers and frequencies. Avoid this app.

### 3/5 — Needs improving

*2012-12-20*

The instructions do not seem to match the actual interface; pitch of the tone is changed by a slider that is partially obscured by a visual element. The slider is also extremely sensitive, making it difficult to select the correct pitch. 

However, it does produce an audible tone corresponding to the note you eventually select, so in that sense it has the core functionality that the app advertises. Tweaking the interface for a better layout would simply improve its usability.

### 1/5 — Junk, worthless, ripoff...

*2012-06-03*

How did this App even get approved? Did anyone ever test it?

I tested this with a tuning fork, and the frequency jumps all over the place. 
Also when you generate a tone the pitch is lower than the frequency it shows.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work...

*2009-10-24*

Can't work on the iPod touch.. I know it doesn't have a mic but pitchamaster doesn't even generate a tone for me... I want a refund! Or change it so that you can generate a tone and attach a mic and tune it on the iPod touch!

### 4/5 — Good but needs update

*2009-09-30*

Definitely worth the price but it should be easier to adjust the pitch generator, a slide button would be ideal. Other then that it is very accurate and I use it all the time tuning up my trumpet and guitar. At ninety-nine cents this is a no brainer... Buy it!
