I found an app on Android marketplace a while back. It's pretty much a gimmick...fire up the app and put your lips on the edge of your screen (ick) to play the holes on the harp. But I've thought of a genuine use for it. You can select different keys and switch from blow to draw, so I've been using this to check my harp reeds to see if they're going out of tune. I know most folks use a tuner, but I tell best by ear.

And here are a couple other handy little apps I found from Seydel.

HK - why not just use a tuner app instead of futzing around with the gimmick app? Just search "Tuner" from the Android market from your phone.
I've used "gStrings", "DaTuner" and "Cleartune"
There are several others as well.

Yes, I've downloaded that app for my Droid. I find it great for comedic relief.

I have daTuner as well, but I don't like it. I basically just let my guitarist friends use it if they forget their tuner at home or their tuner runs out of battery. As I've said, I prefer tuning by ear, and the app seems accurate enough in its replication of pitch.
