I have one of these
As long as you can read music, it is great at showing you actually are singing the note indicated on the stave.
Of course, most singers are not singing by sight-reading a score in front of them whilst they are performing. That is where its limitations come about.
As a practice aid for pitch accuracy, it is amazingly good.
However, you have to sustain the note for around one and a half seconds. It then takes a second or two to compute its output. So when you sing a sequence of notes, ie a song, it cannot assure you that you are maintaining the accuracy you may have achieved with single note practice.
It is very accurate though. So much so, that many musicians use it to tune their string instruments, in preference to the dedicated tuners made for such purposes.
