Great app - not just for voice
I have been playing the flute for two years but still sometimes struggle with sight reading and playing in tune and with good tone right off the bat (I have to play a few notes to make sure my tone is right). I tried apps made for instruments and flutes specifically, but they all seem to not work or require pricey subscriptions to access any of the useful features. I can’t vouch for other instruments (like a sax or violin), but this app works great for the flute. It is helping me improve my sight reading and I set the range for what I am less comfortable playing so I get more practice with that. It is a really clean app design with a really good (and free) interface!Show lessGenshin617

Thank you!!I can’t believe this is a free
An fun and good use of time for practicing sight-singing. I had syncing issues at first between my iPhone and Apple Silicon MacBook, but the next time I opened the app on my iPhone, everything was synced!scarbearer

Thanks for the 5 stars!!The App I Always Wanted
This app is exactly what I wanted for my solfège, voice and ear training. I normally don’t write reviews on App Store, but this app truly deserves a five star review. Also the developers made the app as is a game so it is fun to practice. I love it!Nightfirexx

Thank you!!Not intuitive for me
I’m not sure what is to be done when. I’ve asked for instructions. It doesn’t start recording till I’m halfway through the sequence and then I don’t match the sequence. Buggy? Should I know that I need to wait several seconds before starting after I hit record? I don’t get it. Perhaps it’s just too simple.Show lessJN22222

5 star out of 5 star. Amazing app. Insanely helpful. No ads. High quality content. And free. Need I say more? This app is carrying me with my sight singing and I owe the developers first born child.DaDonutGuy

Thank you so much! So glad you're enjoying it!Fun!
Great way to improve sight singing. Currently use to help me sight sign Western-notation Byzantine chant in the Antiochian Orthodox Church.
Works well on Mac with M1. A suggestion would be I wish I could scale the UI larger, it's ok for now if you launch in full screen though.Game, not training
I came here after using Binary Guilt Software’s incredible reading and rhythm training apps to learn to sight read on guitar. I was hoping for some thing similarly well organized for teaching you to sight sing. Instead, this is organize more like a freemium game app. It has a bunch of exercises, but they are not organized in a way that leads you through learning to sight-sing. They are incredibly short, and there is no beginner progression.Show lessEricTboneJackson

Thank you for the feedback. For beginners, we recommend starting on the Learning Path. It guides users slowly through levels from beginner to advanced melodies.I love it

Amazing app for sight singing, and I can’t believe it’s free!rosenkav
Instructions would be helpful
It’s a great aid to practice but frustrating as a test/game as it requires trial and error to figure out the “rules”. Which are still confusing for me. So I am using it just to get feedback as I practice intervals, using my piano.A2jlg
