This app has potential! – EarForge: 30-day Ear Training Review

This is a really good app for people who have perfect pitch to practice developing it. Also, it is good for people who want to develop very good relative pitch. HOWEVER: There is no way to turn off the note names under the piano keys, which I find HUGELY ANNOYING. It’s cheating to have them there. For those of us with perfect pitch, we do not need those note names there. It isn’t necessary. So, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE find a way for us to turn them off if we don’t want them there. I know it is possible to do that! And, it would be helpful also to those with relative pitch to have the option of turning them off to challenge themselves and test themselves. In a college or music conservatory ear training class, we are NEVER given any note names in melodic dictation. All the class gets is a key signature(which is not necessary for people with perfect pitch). Then, the teacher plays the melody while the students write down what they hear. There is advanced dictation called harmonic dictation and that starts out with just the melody and bass parts played and students write that down. By the end of of the year, students are taking 4 part harmonic dictation in both major and minor keys, and writing the chord progressions in proper Roman numeral, etc form. Also, please create an option to change to Roman numerals and proper inversion symbols and other advanced chord symbols such as the N6(Neapolitan 6th) chord that classical musicians use for the chord dictation. Music theory majors in classical studies use those. Jazzers and other non-classical musicians use the other type that you have used. Thank you for taking the time to consider my requests! I hope to see them added! Great start to this app! It has a lot of potential! I will give it 5 stars if the things I mentioned are added. Thank you!
