Decibelion is basically just an instrument tuner app, but I like to think of it as a music learning assistant app. It uses the device's microphone to detect a music note, and it shows the detected note on a music staff. With the note, it provides some visual cues about whether the note is being played in tune or out of tune so that the app's user can more effectively learn to distinguish an in-tune sound and ultimately play their instrument better. I hope the app helps someone learn to play the violin or guitar or something. For me, I'm learning the violin, and the app has been helping me a lot. I use the app myself.
Aside from the music mic screen for learning music, Decibelion also comes with just a normal violin/guitar tuner screen useful for tuning an instrument.

These are also not affiliate links, and I felt like they deserved a separate list because they are not "products" as the other list is for.
ViolinClass - Julia Bushkova's violin learning channel - very great resource.
Karolina Protsenko Violin - a very inspiring yet joyful and entertaining young dancing violinist; she makes the violin so much more interesting, and she's the violinist role model who inspired me to start studying ballet, to resume learning the violin, and, indirectly as a result of learning the violin, to develop the Decibelion app.
