Note Hitter contains flash cards to teach note recognition and games to test your ability to sight read from a score.
Each challenge contains notes from a particular scale or arpeggio. Use your own instrument to play the right notes as they appear. When you hit the right pitch the note will pop. As you improve the games get faster and more challenging using more notes from scales with more sharps or flats. You will learn a lot and have fun at the same time.
How far can you go?
From a gentle start Note Hitter builds up to 3 octaves at tempos of up to 180 bpm with notes chosen from 6 types of exercise and all tonics. That keeps even the best musicians busy! Once you have earned a feature you can go for the next one or deselect it to concentrate on a particular configuration until you're ready. Note Hitter Lite enables you to play the first level of Note Hitter.
Can you hit every note even in the hardest keys?
Note Hitter supports multiple users and multiple instruments per user. There is also a feature to change the transposition of the written notes (not available in Note Hitter Lite).
Instruments supported include Voice (Note Hitter Voice may be a better choice for vocalists), Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Clarinet, Flute, Oboe, Saxophone, Bassoon, Recorder, Trumpet, Cornet, Trombone and Horn.

This works surprisingly well
Paisleyfrog
Does exactly what it says it does...good note sensitivity, and it only occasionally popped notes I didn't actually play. In a way, I find this demo is a little lacking. As an instrumentalist, the demo tempo is really, *really* slow. I'd like to be able to try some of the faster levels, if only for a little bit...took off a star for the limited nature of the lite version. This is an excellent tool for ear training, vocally. It's a huge help that the app shows what pitch you're actually snug, so you can compensate. Not sure if the full version includes it, but it would be nice to be able to play a starting pitch, and turn off the note hint, to really test yourself vocally. (Really, I think the vocal aspect of this app could stand by itself in its own app).
Works well until you try to play with bass clef

I can smack the crap out of the low C when practicing this with the piano and the game doesn't register it, which means it's counted wrong and I can't play. And yes, my piano is well tuned.l
Improves sight-playing and intonation

Note Hitter is my favorite game to improve sight-playing and intonation. (You'll need to turn on your mic in the settings. In the game, you can click on the right arrow icon for game controls.) It's helpful because it shows the played pitch when my intonation is wrong. However, it scores completion rather than accuracy.

Just did not consistently identify notes I played on the piano. Great concept but needs work.
