This handy application provides pitch references for musicians and singers.
Its a chromatic pitch pipe, ideal for a cappella singers and timpanists. With thirteen pitches, each a half step above the previous, Pitch Pipe provides all of the notes of a single octave, so a singer can start in any key required by Western music. To use, play the initial key note or tonic of the piece to be sung. You can also play the first sung note of the song, particularly when the song begins in unison or with a solo.
Having a Pitch Pipe in your iPhone is useful because you always have it with you. Normal pitch pipes can gradually change pitch as the material hardens with use; and since they are often carried in a pocket, lint can work its way into the device and affect the sound. Pitch Pipe for iPhone has none of these problems.
You play a pitch by tapping the letter of the note itself, which functions as a button. This app uses real pitch pipe samples, recorded from a pitch pipe.

Latest reviews of Pitch Pipe app for iPhone and iPad
Nice simple app, does what it claims to do, decent sound quality
This app does play pitches as advertised, but I cant find a way to stop the sound without closing the app. The octave chosen is generally too low. It would be nice to be able to change the octave. Not worth $1 let alone $3!
This is a great App. Ive been looking for something just like this. Thanks!
The Pitch Pipe app has a great interface. Plus, it has a feature on the reverse side (when you press the "i" at the lower right) which allows you to have it immediately start playing the previous note. Its optional, but if you want it to automatically play the same note as the last time you used the app, it saves you some time. It works on the iPod touch through the headphone jack, so you can hear it in your earbuds. No microphone is required.
This app is perfect to have on your iPhone because it does allow you to always have your pitchpipe with you! I sing in an acappella group and now we have a backup pitchpipe in case someone forgets to bring one along. It is a very easy app to use; looks just like a real pitchpipe, and is much more fun to use! (No chance of passing germs around, either). Great job!!!!!
