Pitch Perfect for Android now available

Once again, I’m very excited to announce that I’ve finished porting my digital pitch pipe application, “Pitch Perfect” from its original Windows Phone 7 incarnation to Android, and it’s now available for free (ad-based) from the Android marketplace!  I hope you’ll give it a try.  I got some great feedback on Tag Master, and I hope to continue to get great feedback on Pitch Perfect.  I hope you’ll give it a try, and tell me what you like and what you don’t!  I know I’m not the best in the world when it comes to app aesthetics, but I hope it’s pleasant enough to use and functional.  It’s been a nice little personal side project for me, and hearing about people using these apps is a blast!

For me, this app is particularly useful because I struggle to remember the mapping from key signature to key note (what is 3 flats again?  A?  E flat?  I can never remember!), so having that built right into the app keeps it at my fingertips.  In addition, I’ve added a feature to the Android app that allows you to keep a list of songs and their keys, so you’re never stuck trying to remember what key that song you’re about to start rehearsing/performing was in.

Again, thanks to my friends in Voices in Harmony for helping me do some light testing of the application.  I’m sure I’ll discover things worth changing, but it’s immensely helpful!

Anyway, as always, I’ll leave you with the goods.  You can find the details here:

Tag Master for Android now available

I’m very excited to announce that I’ve just finished porting my Barbershop Tag application, "Tag Master" from its original Windows Phone 7 incarnation to Android, and it is now available for free from the Android marketplace!  I hope you’ll give it a try — tell me what you like and what you don’t, and who knows, maybe it’ll end up in the next version! :)

I know for me, having one of these apps for my phone (originally a Windows Phone 7 device, which is why I built for that platform first) is extremely useful when singing at afterglows or just for browsing tags.  It’s been awesome seeing all of these other developers building apps for the various smartphone platforms and truly bringing a modern edge to barbershop.  It doesn’t hurt that it’s a real opportunity for me to "geek out", both on Barbershop and on software!

A huge thanks to the folks at barbershoptags.com for running an incredible service to our community, and to the small set of friends in Voices in Harmony who’ve been helping me beta test the application.

Anyway, you can find more details here (also includes information about the Windows Phone 7 app, which I hope to update soon):

Pitch Perfect now available for free!

LargePcAppIconI’m very happy to announce that I’ve now made my pitch pipe software for Windows Phone 7, Pitch Perfect, available for free! Earlier this week, a free, fully functional, ad-based version of the application was published to the marketplace. I hope you’ll give it a shot and let me know what you think!

The $1.99 version of the application (sans ads) is still available if you prefer to avoid the ads (as is an ad-free, limited functionality trial) – now you’ve just have no excuse to avoid giving it a try and providing feedback if you’ve got any!

You can get more info by going to the Pitch Perfect page of my website, or grab the app from the marketplace using one of the links below (requires the Windows Phone 7 or the Zune desktop client):
