Read full description

Warm up with piano accompaniment played at the tempo you want. Suggestions for each exercise are included, but you can obviously use them any way you or your vocal coach / teacher see fit. Pick a starting note either from the keyboard or musical staff in treble or bass clef. The range of the exercise will be displayed with green notes / piano keys. Select whether you want to transpose up or down a step when the exercise repeats. You can change the length of the played prep chord between repetitions. Select the next exercise at any time, the next repeat will continue with the new pattern. Don't let your intonation wander by trying to warm up a cappella. Have an accompanist in your pocket.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Chet at Free against Vocal Exercises's $4.99. Chet also leads on review sentiment (96% vs 61%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 11 months). Vocal Exercises's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
