About
Pitch Pro Tuner & Metronome by Coda Labs Incorporated is a comprehensive musical practice tool designed for musicians of all levels. Unlike basic tuner apps, Pitch Pro acts as a musical fitness coach by combining precise chromatic tuning with built-in analytics that give actionable feedback on how to improve your playing or singing. The app features four tuner display modes and works seamlessly with external microphones and mobile pickups, performing reliably even in noisy environments. Its metronome includes downbeat, upbeat, and subdivision controls with over 30 sound options, making it ideal for rhythm practice. A built-in tone generator offers 14 instrument sounds for reference pitch. One of Pitch Pro's standout features is its recording engine: you can capture your performance, play it back with a live tuner overlay, and inspect note-by-note analytics to pinpoint exactly where you went off pitch. Progress charts let you visualize improvement session by session. Additional customization options include transposition to any key, adjustable pitch standards (A440, A442, etc.), five tuning threshold levels (±1 to ±10 cents), and variable response speed. The app supports a vast range of instruments including guitar, ukulele, banjo, violin, viola, cello, bass, voice, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, french horn, tuba, trombone, euphonium, and timpani. Pitch Pro is available free with in-app purchases and is optimized for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.
