Very thorough in what it covers
I like that the app doesn’t cut you any slack. When done a chapter you have pretty well mastered that section. I would like to see a section for chord progressions.
Great app for teachers
The ability to create custom drills and send them to students and track progression is an amazing feature that I only just realized was an option. Totally worth $7.00
Useful to extent
The piano sounds in the intervals seem to have a lot of overtones which made distinguishing perfect intervals difficult. I prefer the rhythm trainer to this one.
Response from developer
Thank you for the feedback. These are real recorded piano sounds, and have the overtones of a piano. Ear training is difficult, but I assure you that it's not because of the piano sound bank. Be sure to use headphones though! Best, Stéphane.
Another great music training app
This is another great app from this series of musical training apps. I highly recommend this app to add to the the complete rhythm and complete music app.
It’s has a harp option!
Learning by ear mystifies me, even after years of lessons. I tried a few apps but they didn’t help me much since they had such computerized sounds. Was I ever excited to find the harp sound on this app! My score went up almost immediately and it is helping me to hear the difference so much more easily since this is the instrument I play. Great motivation to keep me coming back and learning.

Best ear training app design I’ve seen
I’ve used a number of ear training apps and this design tops them all. It’s a great interface, lots of options and a really good user experience.
Best that I have used.
Over the last couple of years I have tried out many different ear training apps. This is by far the best I have used. I love the way that it is structured, you can not move on to the next level until you are able to almost perfectly identify the intervals on that level.
The quality of the sound for each interval is amazing. I have never heard better. Easily better than any of the other apps.
I am actually starting to improve my ear. Highly recommended.

Awesome
Started with this app… got very discouraged and then it just started to click with me😀
I am now using the reading music app and rhythm trainer from this developer with great results.

Best ear trainer on the App Store.
I’m a professional classical musician and this is the best ear training app I’ve ever used. This one is easily the best to date.
My only requests are 1) that they go back to the old leaderboard format. This new internal leaderboard system requires an account to be created and there are no people on the leaderboards anymore when there used to be thousands. 2) the melodic dictations start with a cadence to give you the key and sound like Melodies from a normal piece of music (at least for the earlier stages). Right now the Melodies sound random and it’s hard to find a tonal center. But the best thing about this app is it’s difficulty, so maybe it’s better to do dictations without this and to solely rely on intervals.

Thank you for the feedback. Leaderboards will be populated once everyone update to the new versions of the app, and there will be much more entries: you will now see Android scores in them. Old leaderboards could not be cross-platform as they were using Apple Game Center. New leaderboards only requires you to sign-in via Apple (it's advised anyway so you don't loose your data if you loose your phone!), and so did the old ones: they required you to sign-in via Apple Game Center. Hope this helps. Best, Stéphane.
Excellent app
Excellent app which goes from simple to fiendishly difficult but with patience and repetition you start opening up the harder levels. (It’s good that you cannot move up through the levels until you have achieved at least 3 stars on each exercise). It’s an amazing feeling to see your progress and know your ear is improving!
