Publisher's Description
From Line of Sight Software:
Perfect Pitch is a powerful and diverse tuner application. It is simple enough for the casual instrumentalist to use, yet contains advanced features for tuning based on harmonic series, quarter tones, and any other even division of the octave.
What's new in this version:
- Fixed a rounding error in precise frequency representations.
- Added functionality for specifying the reference pitch of standard chromatic and quartertone tuning styles.
- Added user-defined sensitivity control.
- Fixed an error where some text would not be displayed.

"Unique and useful tool needs a Lion-friendly version!"
Version: Perfect Pitch 1.1
Pros
This does the job of a standard instrumental tuner such as might be used by orchestral players and singers. It can train you to sing and play in tune. Although it has specialist features such as quarter tones, it works in a very straightforward way. It doesn't distract you from the main task with novelty features; it simply aids you in your task of becoming a performer who has rock steady pitch. A hardware version of this is expensive!
Cons
It hasn't been upgraded (no doubt due to the lack of user reviews. People just download it and weave it seamlessly into their practice routines. This doesn't mean it isn't appreciated! I'm so sorry I didn't show my appreciation for this earlier and just took it for granted.
Summary
What has pushed me to write a review? Well, I upgraded my system software to Lion. And suddenly Perfect Pitch was no longer available. I can't believe I've been telling my music students to download a copy of tuning software from the internet when the one piece of software that will do the job is out of date!
Sorry for the typo in the last line - thank yous I meant but the spellchecker intervened without my noticing.
Please have a heart and make this useable again!
And a thousand thank your for the use I've already had out of it.

"Quite impressive, especially for donation ware"
Version: Perfect Pitch 1.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
There's plenty of pitch tuning software out there, most of them reserved for guitars, crashing on startup, or payware.
So to have found one that doesn't crash and is free for use, unless you feel like donating some money, is a great boon on its' own. To then find that it works quite perfectly for my trumpet, even though somebody mentioned it doesn't bode well for acoustic instruments.
The reason I had downloaded this piece of software was to check which pitch my several didgeridoos were tuned for. This the software, not surprisingly, had some trouble with those, but by keeping my tone as pure and unwavering as possible was still able to give me a good indication.
I tested this by having my conductor lend me his pitching hardware the same evening to double-check the two didgeridoos that were in a pitch that was usable for a certain piece of music.
So, in the end, seeing as a professional piece of hardware had no trouble deciphering the pitch of a didgeridoo I can't in honesty rate this software as perfect, but it came quite close, if you're asking me :) -
"Okay for synthesizers, not for acoustic instruments"
Version: Perfect Pitch 1.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I downloaded Perfect Pitch, and tried to use it to tune my banjo cumbus. Yes, I was able to get the instrument in tune, but Perfect Pitch was really a little too perfect for my purposes. The pitch of a note played on an acoustic instrument is not constant, so the ear is a better judge of tuning than this very exacting bit of software. If your instrument is electronic, and entirely without vibrato, Perfect Pitch will read its tones perfectly -- but then, if that is the case, you don't need a tuner. -
"Rewarding freeware"
Version: Perfect Pitch 1.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
As the previous comment says: this is a freeware application where you actually want to pay for. Although I don't like to be suggested a price (as is appearing after 5 times using the app. Will this reappear, even after I have paid??), but I certainly like to donate some dollars to reward the developer, for giving this perfect app away for free! -
"Absolutely Great"
Version: Perfect Pitch 1.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I had more then one shareware tuner that I had paid for but I tossed them all! This one actually functions, most others just play notes and make you match by ear. You'd pay good money at music store for a box that tunes like this one. This is one piece of freeware I'll probably even pay for. -

Summary

This tuner works great with my Griffin iMic USB input. A perfect companion to my Les Paul and GarageBand. Wish GarageBand had this built-in. Finally someone "got it."Thanks for a perfect app.
