Note:
This app is intended primarily for a single vocal. Note that the correct display can not be done in case of chorus, vocal with musical instruments, and the noisy environment. Recommended for use in a quiet room less ambient noise as much as possible. In Vocal-score mode, it is sometimes impossible to accurately estimate with a short tone utterance, so please use it to confirm the pitch with a long tone utterance. Please note this app does not support the audio input by an external connection, such as a digital audio interface.

The authorization for access to the built-in microphone will be confirmed by the iOS system at first boot. Please enable access to the microphone.
