Latest reviews of Virtual Pitch Pipe app for iPhone and iPad
Good App - Could be great with a few changes...
Decided to give this pitch pipe app a try - was happy to pay a dollar after testing out free apps that asked you to click on ads to make alert messages go away (temporarily - with no option to pay to remove ads permanently). I would give this app 5 stars if: 1) the duration of the tone was reduced to about a second (it currently plays way too long - very obtrusive for performers looking to discreetly grab their pitch before starting the next song). Alternatively, the pitch could loop indefinitely until the note was tapped a second time, turning it off. 2) the ability to play more than one note at a time was eliminated. I don’t know if this was intended as a “feature”, but it’s not helpful. Combined with the extra-long tone duration, things quickly become a sonic mess if you click more than one note (or, click the same note more than once - which causes a weird flange effect). Otherwise, a great, simple app that does what it says. The quality of the sound is good, and no ads are great.

Needs work
Not sure why this isnt a free app. It basically does one thing: plays the pitch you touch, for a brief time, fading in then out. If you press a different pitch too soon, it will play simultaneously. There is a set length of time it sounds. You cant "turn it off" if you dont want it that long. There is no control over what octave you are playing. Other apps that also cost .99 have a lot more versatility. This one only sounds a pitch. Others allow you to tune an instrument, or identify a pitch as it is being sung or played. More versions in development? Ive spent my buck, so Im hoping for upgrades.

No way to turn off
You have to wait a few seconds for each note to stop playing. I cant use it if I cant control the length of the note.
