SingTuner is back to doing one thing well: showing you the note you're singing, instantly. • The Recorder mode and note transcription have been removed — they didn't meet our bar for accuracy, and they got in the way of the live tuner • Your voice is never written to disk anymore: nothing is recorded, nothing is stored • Smaller, faster app with a single focused screen Happy singing!
