Dinsun Review

I’ve seen a lot of 'utility' apps try to pass themselves off as something more. iPitch is just a digital whistle. If you're a singer who can't find 'C' to save your life, sure, it works. But as a piece of software, it's bare-bones. The UI looks like it was designed in a weekend during the Bush administration.

I don't give high marks for things that just barely meet the minimum requirement of their existence. It plays a note. It stays in tune. That’s it. It’s functional, but it lacks the polish or advanced features (like strobe tuning or auto-detection) that modern musicians expect. It’s a tool for a very specific job, and it does it without any flair.
