New piano

This new piano is the worst!!! Please bring back the old piano interface! Please please please bring it back!
Poor design. Bad quality sounds
Joelissimo
This app has horrible sound quality and the design is not fun at all. I do not enjoy using it. There are several other music theory apps that are much better than this one.
Really good idea

I'm not musically-inclined, but I can definitely see the appeal of this app. I feel I shouldn't even be giving it a review since I've barely used the app, but what little of it I HAVE used, I can say that it's well-done enough. I haven't explored all of its features, but I can tell that it really needs a visual makeover. It's not very attractive. To get people to download (or especially purchase) an app, it needs to have more than just functionality. There's my $0.02.

This app is great. I would use it everyday if the full features weren't 15 bucks, but I'm not calling that outrageous. Every musician should have this app.
Extremely limited

This app offers practically nothing! You can only listen to three different kinds of intervals and displays such little amount of theory info that no one could possible grow from this. You gotta pay $15 for the full version, which is the only way to unlock the rest of the intervals etc.
Perfect Pitch is Possible!

In the late 80s, I had a fantastic music teacher. This man clearly had the gift of perfect pitch and demonstrated it on a daily basis. The teacher was born with this gift, and it undoubtedly propelled his musical abilities. The teacher believed that only a few people were born this way, but that anyone could learn to develop a strong relative pitch. I was dubious, as I really struggled at the start of the course. After 2 years, however, I found myself to be dramatically improved in detecting relative pitch. Fast forward to 2009; I first found this free APP. The data collected during pitch training was significant- at first I struggled mightily. After only a few weeks, I noted my scores were rising above 50%! I now believe that perfect pitch can be acquired, through hard training and disciplined study- and Karajan is a tool that can expedite the whole process exponentially! I love the fact that there is a lite version available for free, and would enthusiastically endorse this APP to anyone who requires critical listening skills (heads up teachers of students who struggle with reading fluency). Suggestions for improvement include allowing a more choice in tones. Also, content could be elevated automatically as one increases in skill. Lastly, content could be delivered in a game format, enticing a wider mass appeal. Overall, 5/5 stars!
Tried them all this one is Champion!

First of all don't listen to people who rate this app 1 star, this app deserves no less than 4 star reviews it has been well thought out and is a great app for beginning ear training. It is a quality app with exactly what I need. I have tried many ear training apps before finding this one. I love this app and I hope you will too. Some things to keep in mind: the interface is nice and neat, however, the button to start an exercise is not intuitive. It took me 5 minutes of play to figure out how to start an exercise. Push the >> (next button) to start an exercise, push > (play button) to repeat the sound. The rest is intuitive. As far as unlocking all levels is concerned... I am a beginner and level 1 is challenging enough for me. Personally unlocking all levels wouldn't help me since I have a lot to learn from level 1. I appreciate the developers designing this app with great care and concern for beginners like me. Not only have I found a great app for my needs but I don't feel overwhelmed when using it.
Great App...FOR BEGINNERS!

I already shelled out 15 bucks for the ipad version and they also want me to shell out another 15 bucks for the iphone version. Greedy!
