“There are a number of ear training apps available for the iPhone, but InTune has actual science to back it up.”
— Discchord
InTune is an outgrowth of 25 years of intonation research by Daniel Kazez, cellist and professor of music at Wittenberg University. The concept began as a method to test pitch discrimination, the ability to differentiate pitches that are close together. But then in a research study, Dr. Kazez discovered that students’ listening improved the more often they played – at triple the rate of those who did not.

“Musical perfectionists and sound geeks beware: this game could become an obsession… It will absolutely help you develop a more discerning ear.” — Voice Council Magazine
We’re always improving InTune! Please send your comments and requests to [email protected]. Wondering what is a “good score”? It varies, based on music experience and age, but first-time users often score under 50% of a half step, or under 20% if they have music experience. With repeated use, scores improve substantially. Those with music experience may reach 1% of a half step, or even better.

Fantastic app!

It's applications are endless within any musical situation (pun intended). I have been using this app for a few weeks now and have already found myself fixing my choirs intonation to a meticulous degree. A truly great app, you can tell it was fabricated by a college professor, top notch!
Fantastically precise and FUN!

This game, based on ability to hear pitch and intonation, is surprisingly fun to play. It would be a great measure of basic musical aptitude - as far as hearing pitch, at least. Game advertisements say that use of this game may improve people's sense of pitch. Hmmm... Regardless, it is a fun way to test your sense of pitch. I encourage you to check it out. ?
GREAT!!

This is great for learning how to tune without a tuner or if you want to get better at tuning
Great app

Great app, works just fine. I would love for there to be a harder level with a third option of the second pitch being the same as the first pitch…this would really make things interesting as we get to smaller fractions of a half step!
Great app

Great app, but I would love to see a few additions: -ability to start at any level -ability to remove the error counter and play indefinitely -ability to repeat the two tones
Great app! Needs improvement.

I recently switched back to Trumpet from French Horn, and I have a very good ear when it comes to tone. I think this is a great app for improving your tone, but I solely feel the sound of the tone is a bit annoying and if possible an option for the instrument making the tone could be implemented. I don't know if I think this because I'm a trumpet player or if I'm selfish but this is my opinion. I hope you take my suggestions into consideration, thank you.
Works great, extra features would help

This game appears to improve pitch sensitivity and does so more quickly than expected. Having an option for changing base pitches, which one is assessed (i.e. swipe on first or second pitch), replaying the tones and factoring speed into scoring would make this even more powerful. Worth the price as it stands though. Thanks for a solid implementation of a great idea.
Awesome App

This app is so good because it tests how tone-deaf you are. The lower the percentage you can get the better. I wonder what happens if you get down to .01%?
Helpful for improving sense of pitch!
The Music Instigator
This app is plenty helpful as is, but u agree with some other reviewers' suggestions about replaying the two pitches and taking out the three strikes. I also would like the option of seeing a measurement in cents instead of percentage of a half step.
