Doctor Drone App Reviews

This new application on the iTunes Store is absolutely amazing! You can make your own drone sequences, and you can even transpose them with a click of a button! I highly recommend!

I use this with the Blue Stars Drum and Bugle Corps contra line to work on pitch accuracy, intonation, and interval training and it works like a charm!

Best app on my phone! I play trumpet. Whenever I’m in my car I buzz different patterns on my lead pipe. Blue tooth my phone to the stereo and I can match pitches with the app. Takes seconds to write out simples two measure patterns and the app transposes them in time with a pause in between. Awesome!!

Being able to program sequences of pitches and intervals makes this app much more helpful than a regular drone. Fantastic tool!

App does just about everything I want it to buy there is one big bug that really needs to be fixed. Every time my phone is interrupted by anything like a phone call or alarm, the drone will not start up again. I will click the start button and there will be no sound. I have to restart the app to make it work again. Really annoying for an app this good to have a terrible bug like this.

Firstly, I really like this app. If you added these features I would love it (and would use it much more): 1) show the new, transposed note names instead of the original notes when using the transpose function 2) add a switch in the startup section to open the last used tune instead of having to navigate through folders to reopen it. 3) allow background playback (when switching to other apps, or on screen-lock) Otherwise, still a really nice tool. Thank you!

I use drones quite often - myself and in with students. While this drone does not produce wonderful, warm tones as some live sampled apps do, they are adequate and the app is very versatile....the sequencing section is a fantastic addition! One thing that I’d love to see added to sequencing features is the ability to play a series of drone notes harmonized diatonically (in addition to playing parallel perfect 5ths, Major thirds, etc). I’m not sure how much trouble that would be but it woul

Thanks. You really nailed it with your new version. Couldn’t be better…unless you maybe added a random tone generator. That could help align your mind with your instrument.

This app is incredibly helpful for brass musicians. Now with just intonation. Great for warm up and practice drills.

This app is a wonder and essential for musician. Unlike a tuner with Dr. Drone you concentrate on the aural aspect ; not the visual. Dr. Drone has become an essential tool for my warm up routine - scales patterns, long tones, Well worth you time!

Super useful for practicing intonation in isolation. I unfortunately cannot find a way to set rhythms or at least different numbers of beats for each note or chord to create a drone that moves with you in context.

Great app! This is practical and useful for ear training and singing exercises. Is it possible to provide movable solfege labels both ascending and descending. Thanks

Great for learning to hear and play in tune. It would be better, if I can change the length of the notes and chords on any given setup.
