An iOS app known as Follow Professional hit the App Retailer final week that may be the perfect music rehearsal app. It incorporates a customizable interface with widgets like a digital tuner, metronomes, and audio recorder, and it’s an ad-free pay-once-and-its-yours affair. The app prices $0.99 cents proper now, an introductory value that its developer, Joe LeBlanc of Dynamic App Design, stated will go as much as $9.99 finally.
Within the app, you’ll be able to create pages containing as much as six widgets at a time or use certainly one of a number of premade templates with a number of gentle and darkish theming choices.
I had an excellent excuse to do this app out proper after LeBlanc advised us concerning the app — I’d been requested to carry out “Islands within the Stream,” a Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers duet, at a marriage earlier this month. Thus far, it’s the app I all the time hope I’ll discover once I look by the App Retailer for a devoted guitar tuner app each on occasion.
I used the tuner, metronome, and audio recording options most in my testing. Every was simple to grasp and use, with a number of choices, corresponding to altering the reference pitch or graphic look of the tuner or altering the place the metronome locations the accent on the beat. The audio recorder is easy and is proscribed to recording and playback, however LeBlanc says including an choice to export recordings is on the record.
Different widgets embody a clock, a stopwatch, a timer, a photo-displaying widget, and one for working towards your tempo by tapping the display to a beat and seeing how shut you might be to the tempo you’re going for.
I’m certain there are different good music observe apps — please inform me about them, expensive Verge reader! — however this one is my new favourite. It’s uncommon to search out one that appears good, will be purchased outright, is simple to make use of, and isn’t stuffed with advertisements. Follow Professional is off to an incredible begin.
