HarpNinja supports your harmonica learning independent of whatever method you are using. It has two modes.

Real time pitch recognition shows you what you play.
Harmonica mode is where you can visualize all the notes on a diatonic (10-hole) harmonica. Select from 8 commonly available Diatonic tunings (Major, Natural Minor, Harmonic Minor, Melody maker, Country, Diminished, Powerbender, or Suzuki Ultrabend Sub30) or 7 Chromatic Tunings (Standard/Solo, Bebop, C6, C6 Bebop, Diminished, Augmented, or Whole Tone), all 12 Keys, 18 Scales, and 5 Chord types (Maj, Min, 7th, Aug, Dim). You can also switch the display between notes or music intervals. Play your harmonica and the Real time pitch recognition highlights the notes on screen. An audio recorder also allows you to record up to 30 second segments to hear your own playing.

Interactive Circle of Fifths makes music theory easy.
Circle of Fifths mode is an interactive Circle of Fifth’s specially adapted for harmonica. The Circle of Fifth’s is a well known music theory tool for working out chord and scale relationships.

Settings mode is where you can adjust all the harmonica and application settings, in addition to checking the integrated news feed and any errors.

I recently just started to play the harmonica. I find this app very useful to see if I'm bending notes to the right note, also I found out online how to tune my harmonica by myself. I used this app to judge the notes position on the highlighted circle. My harmonica is now in perfect tune from using this app to go by! Thanks! Sincerely., Billy. Thank you Sonicviz for how much more your app can do. With changing keys and all about tunings. This is a beautiful app with 5 stars

Thanks for the review. I'm glad you're finding it useful. HarpNinja is also great for helping you build your mental model of the harp layout in different keys, tuning, and scales. Building visualization skills for improvising. Harpe Diem!

I've taken a quick look, and the app seems great. I can't justify buying it until it allows for a manual or custom tuning option, or at very least a PowerDraw tuning option. (It has PowerBender, which is awesome!) As soon as I hear it has Power Draw or custom, they can have my $25!

Doesn't seem to work as well on Android as it does on a friend's iPhone. Has a very hard time displaying any pitch let alone the correct pitch. Doesn't recognize chords either. Do not waste your money until these problems are addressed.

Hello Ron, I'm sorry for your issues. Let me clarify how HarpNinja works. The pitch recognition algorithm has been validated over the years on multiple platforms and is 100% solid. Position the harp relative to the mic correctly & turn off background apps. Chord recognition is not a feature as it's battery draining for a small number of chords.
