Singing Applications On Apple Store:

Note: All apps use a special pitch recognition technology that requires the use of Airpods, EarPods, or similar bluetooth or plugin devices in order to pick up the pitch of the students’ voice.

Recommendation: Get the free trials first to see which one you like best. Pick a three month membership at most just for the summer while you’re not in school choir.
