Okay,I guess.
carathegreatt

I(being a beginner) did not really get it, so I deleted it. Maybe okay for more experienced musicians.


Works great
B.Wardd

Helps me with listening with my ear for keys and scales. I love it. Great for a musician and vocalist. Highly recommend for your down time.


My favorite app
Jfpaul

This is an incredible ear training device. Most usefull app I have. Works fine with current software contrary to other reviews. ( you turn the phone sideways to use the app)


Too Hard for Beginners.
Loopie007

You are only tested, but not given anything to learn. The app should instruct first, then test. Here you are only tested into failure.


Need more instruments

I've been playing for a couple years but I am too lazy to train myself to recognize intervals by ear this is definitly going to make a difference


Amazing app

Hard

This app was kinda hard for beginners because it doesn't teach you anything it just tests you first thing . It took me awhile you get what to do .
