THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE APP

InTune began as a way for researchers to test pitch discrimination, the ability to differentiate pitches that are close together. But then researchers discovered that musicians improved the more often they played – 3x faster than those who didn’t. Download for free and see if InTune works for you!

Pros and cons of InTune – Tuning Practice app for iPhone and iPad

InTune – Tuning Practice app good for

Love this app! Its great for training your ear, and making it fun to boot! I do wish that if you reach higher levels, you didnt have to start at such a basic level each time. Thats a very small thing, though. Really liking this app.
This is a very useful app, but I find that I have more difficulty when I am comparing pitches sounded by two different instruments. For example, I am learning to play the violin. When I attempt to tune to the piano, my accuracy goes down. Comparing the piano to the bowed violin string adds some complexity. Please add a variety of timbres so that users can compare pitches between instruments.
As a middle school band director, teaching students to have an ear for intonation and tuning is important. My students love to use the app as a game - the contest is to see which class can score the highest. I love to see them have fun while learning to develop an ear for intonation. Their only concern, so also mine, is the tone generation can be somewhat uncomfortable when the whole class is listening. The team that has created this app should be commended for bringing such a great app to the public, and should make more!
This app is easy to use and seems to succeed at improving tone sensitivity.
I am a high school choir director. Ive shared this app with students to help develop and improve thier listening precision. They enjoy challenging themselves to improve and competing with others to see who can get the best score. Its a fun and fast way to see immediate results in your students aural ability in rehearsal and performance.
Enjoyed the app and the challenges it offers. A good way to brush up on your musical listening skills which can improve musicianship. However, a chart or some type of "key" needs to be added to app that will better explain how to interpret the results & also save these results so the user can track their progress & see how well or if they are showing improvement.

Some bad moments

Does exactly what it says in a no-frills fashion. However, why cant you choose which level to restart on? If youre working on fine tuning your ear why must you go through all the levels again. Waste of time, surely? Very frustrating. Would also be nice to change the sample to something a bit more like an actual instrument, though.
This app has a low frequency rumble that always plays when its open. What the heck?
My band director recommended this to the whole band so we can stay in tune (obviously). I am actually a percussionist, but it still helps with listening to the rest of the band and seeing if they are playing wrong notes. tl;dr my band director recommends it, and I do too.
This app made me realize how much "gray area" exists for me in the process of getting in tune. It would be nice if you could go back each time and hear what you got wrong for the purpose of improvement.
The description is pretty accurate. Over time my score dramatically improved. The interface is also designed in a very simple user friendly way. I would recommend very both musicians and non musicians. Actually, this app helps train the ear so it benefits everyone to be able to distinguish different sounds more accurately. Overall, its simple great. Thank You!
Violinists have a great need for intonation sensitivity, and this app trains the ear with a user friendly game. I enjoy watching my score improve! Its at 2.34% now, how low can it get?
