Onyx: Pitch Pipe App Reviews

Now for no particular reason the widget works in lock screen and it is much better for me than the pitch wheel. Widget in unlocked screen jumps to pitch wheel every third time. I have iphone 14 pro max ios 17.5.1 Old review: Widget plays an A when C selected. No real people support for unexpected failures. After a trial of one hour no other problems found.

Perfect design. Using this in a singing group. Able to select the pitch easily with haptic feedback (kind of like the old iPod wheels), the octave(s), and even set the hertz (e.g. 432hz instead of the default 440hz). I appreciate being able to select clarinet for the sound playback. Love it!

Yes, it’s really helpful, but I wish you could do more with the settings. I’m sure is probably very easy to make changes such as locking the octave you’re working on. It’s kinda annoying for example that even when you’re moving clockwise, if u pick a different note it will jump to a higher octave, which messes up your sense of pitch and melodic motion.

Great App! It would be great if you created a widget for the iPhone like the one you created for forScore for the iPad. It would be very helpful to have that widget on my iPhone.

Love the minimal design and the app works exactly as advertised. Would love a widget like forScore has on iPad.

I tested it on the piano and the notes are in tune. I'm thrilled that it was so easy to get a new pitch pipe that works so well. Now I'll have it with me wherever I go. I'm a fan.

Just what I was looking for. I wanted a back up in case I ever left my actual pitch pipe at home when I needed it (not a fun surprise). This app is great and it has some nice customization features that other apps don't have. Hearing the sound when my phone is on silent was essential, and it's neat that you can quickly adjust different aspects of the tone.

This is by far and away the best pitch pipe app out there. The interface is clean and intuitive, and I like how I can choose three different octaves. Also, this app still sounds when your phone is in silent mode, which I noticed is not the case with other apps. Your search is over—this is the pitch pipe app you need!

It works perfectly. It’s super easy. I probably would have bought it just for the name, which is awesome. It’s just like a pitch pipe in that you just rotate the dial or Digital Crown to access pitches...but doesn’t get gross or germy, not does it get out of tune. I’m a voice teacher and active choral musician.

I’ve used this app for years and I love it, but I literally just noticed that the pitches are significantly flat when compared to a piano. I don’t know if it’s always been this way or it’s due to a recent update, but either way I can’t use this in my singing group of it’s not tuned closer to A 440. This is very disappointing and I hope you guys fix it!!!

Based on past reviews, I just purchased this app specifically for the availability of a widget. Edited: It is a bit confusing because of the iOS 14 update, but I was eventually able to get the widget on my phone. I’m not sure how I did it, but it’s there now and I love the app! Maybe something could be included somewhere about how to get the widget?

Love this app, but since the iOS 13 update, the widget sometimes does not work, regardless of whether or not the phone is in silent mode.

I’ve never been able to get this to work on my Apple Watch. No matter the settings, it doesn’t play any sound at all. Hopefully the developers will figure this out and give an update.

It needs a digital meter to know when you hit the note.

Since the redesign the home screen widget options are gone. There is a lock screen widget, but it’s essentially just a shortcut to open the app. I wouldn’t have updated if I had realized this feature was going to be removed.
