PitchBuds
Read full descriptionHide full description
PitchBuds is a music training game for young children (ages 3-7) that actually listens back. The app plays a note sung by a friendly animal character. Your child sings it back. PitchBuds hears them, scores their pitch, and cheers them on with stars, confetti, and animated celebrations. No instrument needed. No music experience required. Just a voice and a curious little ear. WHAT'S INSIDE - Sing the Scale: meet five animal friends (Dog, Rabbit, Monkey, Frog, Lion), each with their own note. Can your child sing them all? - Free Jam: random notes, endless replay. Great for building confidence and keeping sessions fresh. - Sing in Pairs: unlock this mode and tackle two-note combinations. A gentle step up in challenge. - Cast to TV: mirror to your living room TV via AirPlay. Watch your child perform on the big screen. FOR PARENTS - Microphone is used only to hear singing. Audio is processed instantly on your device and never recorded, stored, or transmitted. - No accounts, no sign-ups, no ads. - No in-app purchases in this version. - COPPA compliant. Designed with children's privacy as a non-negotiable. More worlds coming soon: rhythm games, clapping challenges, and ear training activities. Built by a software engineer and musician dad who couldn't find anything quite like this -- so he made it for his daughter.
