I thought tone deaf was permanent. Can you link Fixed Key? Is it an app?

  It's a setting in the 'Advanced Settings' section of the app OP linked.

  anyone who can hear can learn relative pitch, although some people seem better equipped and a very very small number seem to have absolute pitch

    Most people can learn relative pitch, some people cannot, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amusia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amusia

    To add to this, one of the seemingly better examples i was shown was that most of us who like music have a handful of songs that we can hear perfectly. We don't realize it, but that's one foundational tool to find the relative pitch of something. Ie despite not having absolute perfect pitch, we know can accurately hear a variety of notes by just remembering a song, chorus, hook, etc. In doing so, we can figure out those notes and then use that to help determine the relative pitch of something else. Works better the more songs you know. It's also not advocating learning songs for this purpose, but rather using songs you already know. Songs you grew up with, etc. Anything you deeply know.
