Apps: Pitch

We've been testing a new app from Daniel Kuntz called Pitch. Kuntz has several apps including Tone, an ear training app. Kuntz describes the app as:

“Pitch is a sleek, minimalist instrument tuner for iPhone.

Features:

- Simple & easy to use
- Quickly tune any musical instrument
- Detailed analytics to help you track your progress
- Hear individual notes or chords with the tone generator
- Works great in noisy environments
- Transpose to any key
- Dark and light modes
- 100% free with no ads!”

— App Store Description

Pitch has some features you'll see in other tuner apps like displaying your proximity to actual pitch and generating tones. Where the app stands out from the crowd is analytics. The app tracks analytics over time and gives some long term feedback on intonation. The developer describes it as "...a fitness tracker for musicians."

“It’s a fitness tracker for musicians!”

— Daniel Kuntz

We found the app to be helpful and a handy way to see how intonation is shaping up beyond just one note at a time. Separately, we found the app easy to use and pleasing to the eyes (no ads!). 

Pitch is available on the ios store and is free. Let us know in the comments what you think about the app.

iTunes is still bad, but slightly better now

To be clear, we still hate iTunes with the intense heat of a thousand suns. That being said, a recent update has made it easier to sort and search. Up until now, iTunes limited you to sorting by artist. 

“This update allows you to see works, composers, and performers while browsing Classical music in the Apple Music catalog. It also includes stability and performance improvements.”

— iTunes 12.3.2
