### 5/5 — Great music theory app!

*2017-01-11, version 1.2*

Good for checking your work on atonal or twelve-tone homework.

### 1/5 — Fix the Retrogrades!!

*2025-11-10, version 1.6.4*

Retrograde and Retrograde-Inversion forms are usually labeled based on their last notes, so that they match their corresponding rows. So, if a P-0 row begins on C and ends on E-flat, then R-0 would begin on E-flat and END on C. Same labeling format for RI forms. This app is fantastic except for this one detail, but it’s a really big detail to get wrong.

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2019-10-19, version 1.6.4*

Impossible to switch from numbers to pitch names. Whenever one tries...the program abruptly closes! Previously this program worked well but I think it may have “suffered” an update.

### 4/5 — Quite Useful

*2018-07-01, version 1.3*

I found this app much easier than writing out clock faces over and over on paper for my Post-Tonal Theory class, there are only a few minor changes that I would like to suggest that would be really helpful. When using the piano or circle input it would be great to have some sort of optional playback, playing the piano tone of that pitch would be a good way to help audiate what sort of tone collections are being built. Another minor issue I had is that the Circle does not have Pitch Class 0 centered on the top like a clock face, instead it’s rotated so 0 and 11 are next to each other. Since most textbooks and methods write the diagram with 0 at the top position I find myself tilting my phone a little bit to help me recognize patterns. Again, these are just minor things, the rest of the app is very helpful. The matrix generator is a godsend and the Circle is a great visualization tool. This is certainly the best free app on iOS you will find for this sort of work.

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2023-06-18, version 1.6.4*

Really awesome app

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2020-02-03, version 1.6.4*

This app is easy to use and very helpful! It helped a lot! Would recommend to anyone in my musical classes.

### 5/5 — Saves Time

*2019-08-08, version 1.6.1*

A great time saver for doing pitch class work.

### 5/5 — This is going to save me a lot of time.

*2019-05-26, version 1.5.1*

Just what I needed for theory class.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2019-04-21, version 1.5.1*

This new version has improved a lot. I like it plays with sound and row labels made things more clear.

### 5/5 — Very Helpful !!!!

*2019-04-07, version 1.5.1*

This beats the heck out of doing  12-tone theory by hand.

### 5/5 — HUGE Help

*2019-03-22, version 1.4.1*

This app has been a HUGE help in Music Theory IV. The only thing I would like is for the matrix to have the labels for the rows and columns.

### 5/5 — Loading

*2019-03-21, version 1.4.1*

Can’t get app load. Title page flashes, then app closes

Update 3/21/19
Tech support was fast and helpful. So glad to have my Pitchy back and fully functional. Thanks so much folks!!!

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2018-04-16, version 1.3*

This app makes writing/analyzing 20th century/serial music so easy! It’s very easy to use. There’s another app out there that costs some cash, but this one looks and functions better. I just wish that when using the matrix you could switch the resulting matrix from number notation to pitch notation. Still a great get though!

### 5/5 — Best thing ever!

*2017-11-20, version 1.3*

SO SO SOOOO Happy this exists!!!!!!!! ❤️🙌🏻
