Users sing to the app, named FreddieMeter, with a choice of four Queen songs and the app analyses the pitch, timbre, and melody to give a score of 0 to 100.
The technology is a collaboration between three departments of the tech giant and Queen, Universal Music Group and Hollywood Records.
The release was in support of Mercury Phoenix Trust, a charity that helps support projects worldwide in the fight against HIV and AIDS, founded by Queen bandmates Brian May, Roger Taylor and Jim Beach.
Mercury, the singer, songwriter and lead vocalist of the rock band, died in 1991 aged 45 due to complications from AIDS.
