What SightSing is
SightSing is a sight-singing practice app that gives microphone feedback as you sing and provides an 18-level curriculum. Notes are marked as hit, miss or off by a half step. The app has separate sight-singing, rhythm and interval trainers, each with its own progress tracking. Curriculum levels introduce one concept at a time, while rolling-window mastery means a missed day does not reset progress. Adaptive difficulty is also listed. Visitors can try a sample melody without signing up; its page says the exercise works best in iPhone Safari, desktop Chrome and Firefox. Microphone audio is processed on the device and is not recorded or sent to SightSing's servers; only the score is saved. Pitch detection depends on the device, microphone, ambient noise and singing volume, so scores are feedback rather than an infallible measure. The free plan covers Levels 1–3. Paid plans include all 18 sight-singing levels and both additional trainers, with real-time feedback, practice streaks and history, for $4.99/month or $49/year. SightSing is designed for ages 13 and up and is not currently offered as a classroom product.

Who it suits
SightSing may suit music students learning to sight-read and experienced vocalists practicing the skill. Its age and product limits mean it is designed for users 13 and older, not classroom use.
Verdict
SightSing pairs guided levels with separate practice trainers and real-time pitch feedback. Treat its scores as practice feedback, since detection varies with the device, microphone, noise and singing volume.
