pitchlab pro full version apk 12

The widely acclaimed best-ever tuner app for smart phone is suddenly gone! 5,000,000+ downloads, glowing reviews... and it's just disappeared.
What happened and is there any way to still get a copy?
My phone was recently stolen and this is honestly one of the biggest disappointments involved. Next to PitchLab, everything else is just lame!

Not from me.....I was referring to my original statement. I don't give a hoot about OS measuring contests.

You should direct your criticism towards the dude who signed up for an account here today just to pick a fight with me.

(Short, practical answer: it is still available for Android through Amazon.)

I was rather surprised to find Pitchlab gone from Google Play when I reset my phone, and so have been on a bit of a search to find out what happened (which is why I'm now posting here, the only place I've found where others are discussing it).

It appears the most probable answer is that the developer simply stopped supporting the app entirely. The most recent update for Android on Amazon, which is the same as on my old phone, is 1.0.20 from 2015-11, and for Apple, it is 1.0.21 from 2015-12, which just fixes an Apple-specific crash. It appears that the app was removed from Google Play in 2017-12; this may have actually been automatic.

Regardless of the removal reason, it is still available for Android via Amazon, just not Google Play. This requires installing Amazon's app store, which you may or may not want to do, but it should work.

If you purchased a license, it is also perhaps a complex question as to whether downloading and installing a pirated copy would be legal, though that carries its own risks. My own solution was to pull the apk from my old phone via adb, store a backup of it, and then use adb to sideload it onto my new phone (keeping a backup of the apk as well). Doing this, if you have access to your own copy somewhere, should be completely legal.

I'd actually suggest making a backup of the apk now, if you have the app installed, as it may well disappear from Amazon as well at some point. It may also disappear from Apple's store, but in that case, there is little you can do.

As to why it stopped being maintained, it may be that the developer simply lost interest, but I also recall noting with concern one update including a note about changing the strobe display to avoid infringing on a patent. It's quite possible that whoever held that patent decided to continue causing a problem, which might also explain why there is no other app that has a similar (ie, actually useful) strobe display.

In any case, I've reached out to the developer to see if I can find out anything more. At some point, without updates, it's likely that the app will stop working in future versions of Android and iOS, and if the developer isn't going to start working on it again, the strobe implementation he has is actually useful enough that I may need to write my own version.

Thanks, cgev! Very helpful information.
Man, I hate to see a world-class product like that just vanish into thin air. If you ever get ahold of the developer, I'd be curious to hear the story on what happened.

I just went through the back-up process that cegev recommended, but ABD (Android Device Bridge) seemed a bit more complicated than I wanted. I used the Assistant for Android app to back up PitchLab Pro on my old phone, uploaded the file to dropbox, then downloaded and installed the .apk to my new phone.

Thanks for the idea cegev. I didn't think the unlocked version would carry over!

I found a version of pitchlite here : pitchlab-lite.en.uptodown.com/.../download and downloaded the apk file. I copied the file, renamed it to extension .zip and unpacked it. The content seems reasonable. I'm not sure if I dare install it, not sure if free from malicious sw or even working. It states it is version 1.0.22 , alas later than applestore's version.

As many before me, I stumbled upon a non-functional PitchLab on my iPhone, as well as threads like this on the internets. It was in fact the first app I installed the day I got it, and the disappointment was grand. For months I've opened this app over and over again, and every single time I've been let down.

Then, an unexpected ray of sunlight.

I'm happy to announce that as of today, October 10th, 2019, and with the latest iOS version installed, 13.1.3, PitchLab has finally asked my permission to access the microphone, to which I replied "Allow".

I have PitchLab!

All modules, free and paid, work marvelously. I can't stop tuning ****, I've tried stupid tunings on my guitar, mumbled incoherently while varying the pitch of my voice, watched string bends on my screen, discovered what the names of some chords were, and I'm even considering putting this app to some actual, productive use besides making silly tests.

This is a great day, a great day I tell you all!

My primary phone is iOS. But I have some Android phones kicking around, including a Pixel 3A with Android 11.

I was able to install PicthLab Pro from Amazon App store. But you have to install the Amazon App Store App first.

How I found out: When I tried to do a restore to my iPhone, it tried to restore Pitchlab from the App store (I had no control over this). It reported the app was deleted from the App store. It gave me only two options (Cancel or DELETE), either of which left me with no Pitchlab on my device.

This was discussed at length in the old list. The program became the subject of patent litigation from Petersen who own the rights to the concept of a strobe tuner. I can hardly refrain from commenting on how petty this action is. That is why it is withdrawn.

However, in regards to your admonishment regarding timeliness, when this topic was last discussed, it was in fact still possible to still download the app from the App store, even though it was not being updated and hence causing problems with various OS versions.

Now not even downloading is possible. I thought it prudent to make the list aware of that, and also to make the list aware that if they restore their iPhone, they will now lose what many on the list consider to be a valuable program. That was not true before.

You sit down at a concert with your iPad ready, pedal attached to turn over, ready to go, and discover that the score you had paid to download is not to be found because the licensing arangement with the library that owns one of the mss has expired and Bear-rider, the publisher, from whom you downloaded it, has gone bust.

I have Pitchlab Pro on an Android phone that was downgraded to a dashcam because its wireless died. Last week PP refused to start because of license expiry or suchlike; so I had to Bluetooth to another system and have that system allow internet access via Bluetooth. Once that was done, I suspect PP silently connected to Amazon and reinstated its license.

It may be under your MyApps but in Australia at least it is simply no longer available. Development has ceased, partly due to patent infringements and law cases from Petersen who own the concept of strobe tuning. We know this from the developer of the app. So depending on a dead app to tune with may not be a long term sustainable solution. Who knows when an Android update will knock you out. It was good for what it did though.

And finally, there is no better integrator than the ear of the enormous complex harmonic problems with low strings, with high strings, and even strings in the middle. No electronic tuner ever gets it right. I hear so many instruments badly tuned with electronic help, although to be fair some can wield such a tool with skill.

I think they could tolerate. However, I own the Peterson strobe app in the iOS versione (on iphone 11) and I advise against using it. Its temperaments are too inaccurate, the resulting tuning was just unplayable, particularly so with the Rameau temperament. Maybe the Android versioni s better.

Then I went lazy and reverted to the electronic tuners, now as iphone apps. I had good results with Pitchlab, less so with Peterson iStrobosoft, but never as good as I tuned by ear. I am going to revert to by-ear-only system.

This is *NOT* the old PitchLab tuner app, it is a ground-up rework of everything that was in the old app, plus improved accuracy, multi-core support for fast, smooth tuning response, increased spectrogram resolution and multi-view tuning. Old tuning views have been merged to improve usability and completely new tuning views have been added, along with improved temperament, calibration, transposition support and user-interface design. Live demos of all the tuning screens are built into the app (go to the in-app shopping screen and tap on the thumbnail images).

Unique features help you work out the chords to new tunes, visualize the pitch and consistency of the human voice, violin or other instrument, or answer the questions "what notes am I humming", "what are those chords", "am I hitting all the notes in tune", "is my vibrato consistent" etc.
