Look up a chord, find the right harp for a song, identify the key of a progression, and keep track of every harmonica you own - all without leaving the app. WHAT’S INSIDE QuickGuide™ Look up any chord or scale, then see how it lays out on a different instrument. Useful for harmonica players, and just as useful for guitarists, ukulele players, and pianists who want a fast cross-instrument reference. HarmoniFinder™ Tell it your song’s key and feel, and it tells you which Lee Oskar harmonica to grab. Honest rankings, no padded results. Key Detective Tap the chords you’re hearing and the app figures out the key. Hand the result to HarmoniFinder™ and you’re playing. My Collection Track the harmonicas you own. Useful at gigs, useful at home, useful when you’re trying to remember whether you actually own a Low F before you click “buy.” Tuning Workshop Explore the four Lee Oskar tunings, mix and match reed plates between them, and try custom tunings adapted from a wide library, including blues, country, folk, Celtic, jazz, and world music presets. Learn & Care Practical tips for playing positions, troubleshooting common issues, and keeping your harmonicas in good shape. Toolkit, not teacher. WHY HARMONICALLY? • Harmonica-first, but multi-instrument by design • No accounts, no logins, no data collection • Works offline • Free, with no in-app purchases From Lee Oskar Harmonicas, making harmonicas for musicians since 1983.

Harmonica Studio brings complete songs, a live harmonica-aware tuner, hear-first bend training, and on-device tab practice into one honest app. COMPLETE SONGBOOK Play full, duration-preserving melodies arranged for a real 10-hole Richter harmonica. Three complete songs and the tuner are free. Pro opens 95 more complete songs. HEAR-FIRST BEND TRAINER Hear the target note before you try it. Work through four levels with confidence-gated pitch feedback across all 12 harp keys. THE 2-DRAW CLINIC Train the beginner wall directly: open 2-draw, half-step bend, and whole-step bend, with technique cues and low-hole-aware feedback. LIVE TUNER & HARP MAP See the exact blow, draw, bend, or overbend you are playing, plus the complete 10-hole layout for all 12 keys and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd position. JAM MODE Use 392 chord-only accompaniment charts with a recommended harp key. Improvisation grading stays off instead of pretending a chart contains a melody. FIRST WEEK Follow seven short sessions that end with one complete recognizable song. IMPORT YOUR OWN TAB Paste harmonica tab you have the right to use, save it on your device, and practise it note by note with live pitch feedback.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HarmonicAlly at none against Harmonica Studio's 3. HarmonicAlly also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
