REALLY good idea, BUT... – Guitar Ear Training Review

This is a great idea and I’m able to use and benefit significantly from some of the features, but a good amount of the functionality is buggy, at best. Some of the bugs: - Basic Chord changes- there are a few chords that the app simply doesn’t like to pick up (Bmin, F#min to name a few) making it impossible to progress/fully benefit from that feature (it won’t pass you unless it recognizes those chords as being played correctly). Played with an acoustic guitar in a quiet room, Mic sensitivity set to high. -The settings screen- crashes constantly. Fortunately the settings are saved upon adjustment, but it certainly breaks your workflow. A minor annoyance considering the potential benefits from this well-thought-out app, but a frustration, nonetheless. -Sight Singing- not sure if it was updating to iOS 11.4. or what, but it simply will not give me the time to sing the pitches (if the green “SING” appears at all, it is too quick to do anything. Mostly won’t move past the red “MUTE”). So this part of the app (for the time being?!?!) is useless. A few weeks ago it was a wonderful feature with a lot of promise. -Runaway trains- sometimes while practicing melodic and harmonic intervals, it will go into “Runaway train mode” and keep pelting me with questions without listening. That’s just bad manners! Developers, PLEASE fix these bugs! This is a great app with TREMENDOUS potential for creating an immediate and direct connection between the ear and fingers- the only one I’ve found that can do this in the App Store. Right now it’s falling short, but if these are fixed it’s easily the best ear to instrument ear training app I’ve seen. Some future additions that would be AWESOME: -Atonal melodic and harmonic intervals -Harmonic interval training using simultaneous and varying notes (it only recognizes one note right now and assumes the root of the given scale as the other) Overall, fantastic job with this. Just fix those functionality bugs, PLEASE ?? and I’ll happily give it 5 stars!
