***** Must Have!!!
This is the best Ear Trainer of all I tried in App Store, everything works just perfectly. If you are interested in improving your musical hearing you must have it.
------
***** Amazing
I have been using this app every day for just about a year now and the result are simply amazing.
------
**** I'm in my second third semester as a music major and I have to say, this is a great app for any music major, or anyone looking for ear training. I like that I'm able to switch between different instruments, it makes hearing the notes on the instrument you're use to a bit easier for me.
------
**** Excellent outil
J'ai testé des nombreux programmes d'entraînement et de reconnaissance musicale sur iPhone et celui-ci est de loin le plus complet et le plus intéressant.
------
***** Complimenti! Grande versatilità e facilità d'uso. Ottima per principianti, ma anche per chi vuole approfondire la conoscenza dell'armonia. La uso sempre con i miei allievi.

***** I love those chord progressions
I was hoping that someone would make an ear training app that did chord progression but I didn't think anyone would, then you did

Fantastic

Using the ear trainer app is not only fun, it is a great tool in improving my ability to hear intervals and patterns in songs that I’m trying to learn. Fantastic app !


So F-ing fun.
DJ CHIPMOUTH

Have fun with it. It’s a game. Just look at the rulez. Larger interval? Don’t think. Just choose A or B. Don’t get down on yourself. I always turn 4ths into 5ths in my mind moving the root an octave below. Who cares. It’s fun. It’s music! It’s therapeutic! Don’t get this to achieve a good grade or as an IQ test. Get it to party. Highly recommended for a good time like chess or solitaire app for music people. ❤️ Edit: Just played app for first time. People leaving bad reviews are tripping out. It’s really fun. Don’t get distracted by MIDI tone police. Seriously? Haha. Use headphones or something. Or take my advice. It’s a game. Remember pong? Haha❤️ Hey though, who wants to compete?


Can’t Say Enough Good Things!
Jbzz01

As the title says, I can’t say enough good things about this app. I started using this app completely new to ear training. I used it just about every day for a year or so, and now I can recognize intervals, chords (and their inversions), progressions, etc., instantly. You definitely have to be willing to put in some time with the app, as it takes a lot of practice to train your ear, but the results are worth it. One suggestion for future updates might be a way to include chord inversions in the progressions section. Thanks for a great app!


Good App for Ear Training!
Fiddle Hell

The material on this app is very well organized and helpful. I enjoy using it.


Worth trying
Isaiahamias

App is great but I would love to have a better quality piano sound & I would love to see a dark theme background! Maybe midi connection in the future would be amazing! Hands on always helps.


Excellent.
ChristianReader

Start screen appears and then disappears Right away


I'm already seeing the benefits
G @logologico.com

I make music as a serious hobby but I had neglected ear training until recently. So I am in the first exercises. But already I feel that I'm improving. It's a great, simple to use app. The interface could look better and the text could be enlargeable, but hey.


Great
