  • Great App

    Not only is this app comprehensive from an advanced perspective, it is also great for beginners. I would give it five and a half stars if I could.
  • Used daily, great app

    I love this app. I use it every morning to keep my own ears aligned, and use it on easier settings with my students to introduce them to the idea of ear training. At first they are skeptical, but now they request to do ear training with this app! Very easy to use and navigate.
  • Astounding

    This app makes ear training available to all. It’s a really benefit to all musicians.
  • EarMaster is really helping me a lot!

    EarMaster is not just for the youth and teens, but I love it and I am an older adult just now getting into music. I have a lot of catching up to do and EarMaster has tons of lessons designed to give users a thorough background from the basics on up. And all this for a nominal cost. Additionally, on occasion I have some technical, music-related questions and each time I have asked about something, I got a prompt and thorough response. I have much respect for this app and the people who put it together as well as what it can do to help others to become more musically talented. Hope this is helpful. Take care...

  • BEST ON THE MARKET. YOU NEED THIS.

    I never write reviews. This is my first ever. But when an app comes along that changes the way I practice, helps the way I teach, and provides a new way of hearing music, I couldn’t help but do a review. The exercises are so well thought out, and have so much to offer both the complete beginner and the most world class musicians alike. Being an instructor at Nashville Music Academy, I can say this app has developed my ear and my students ear to a level that would have taken many more years to develop, if at all, without it. Do yourself a favor, take the step, make the commitment to complete all the exercises, and watch yourself grow as a musician like you never thought possible. Albeit this is a tool, and what you do with it is up to you, but through this training you can truly take the phrase “if you can hear it, you can play it” to heart. Thank you to the entire EarMaster team.

    Thanks a lot for your kind words!
  • Creating custom chords feature missing on IPAD

    1. I own the PC/Mac version and you can create your own custom chords like polychords, tone clusters, random quintal quartal chords, and atonal stuff, however you want it, that’s one of the main reason I use this app, is the flexibility that on other app has. But that feature is not available on the Ipad version. I bought a ipad pro thinking that i can use it to train my ear wherever I go. I would totally pay some bucks to get that feature tho.

    2. In earmaster 6, the entire piano keyboard is shown, but for some reason, in earmaster 7, the developers decided to only show the keyboard partially, and if you do chords and intervals that span over a few octaves, you have to constantly browse back and forth to input the answers, WHY?

    It’s only a downgrade from earmaster 6. Now it’s still the best ear training app on the market, but it’s not as good of a experience compared to the previous version.

    Hi, thank you for your feedback. It's actually the first iOS version, so I'm not sure it can be compared to a former version on Mac and PC :) We do have plans to make it possible to save custom chords and scales on iOS, so hopefully it will be available in a future update. The piano interface is always showing the octaves that are included in the questions so that the keys are large enough to be used with fingers. Is there something else you didn't like in the iOS app since you only give it 2 stars? Best regards, Quentin from EarMaster
  • Best I’ve found

    Great interface and curriculum.
  • Not usable on my iPAD

    One star for the iPAD app. Latency is to great for the rhythm exercises to be usable and the interface or the notation exercise is too awkward and confusing. I’ll try he PC version to see if it’s more usable.
  • Don’t buy this

    They nickel and dime you! Better apps with less money being sucked out of your wallet!! Do not buy this.
  • Excellent but could use blog

    I’d welcome a jazz blog wherein one could gather a feeling of how long it typically takes to master various jazz ear training exercises. Admittedly it takes me forever to master jazz chords and clap back rhythm exercises. Just wondering how others experience theses ear training jazz exercises. David
