The app’s looks will certainly won’t win any design contest, and although not sporting the latest lines, this doesn’t impede its functionality. There are dedicated controls for the volume, playback speed as well as note detection thresholds.
The provided on-screen controls are well-structured and offer a good balance between accessibility and adjustability. At this point, we could mention that adding audio files is not an issue, but we would have liked to see at least some features for batch processing.

Although simple-enough, using this app will require at least some basic knowledge of musical notation and transposition

One must bear in mind that this app deals with musical note detection and it does so providing with it a multitude of tweaking and customization options. Namely, users can select either flats, numerals or sharps for the notes, adjust the detection threshold or select the corresponding organ.
Furthermore, in order to help with visualization and detection, the app provides five different viewing options, each with different animation characteristics and we believe this is a nice touch.
