Leave a Review Better Ears Beginner
Poor support
I purchased the full version after using the beginner for a short time. When I updated my phone software the app reverted to the beginner version and would not let me reinstall the full one. I repeatedly email the developers but have been ignored each time, and I don't intend to pay another £10!!!00Simpson
DO NOT BUY THIS APP!
There is absolutely no customer support! They do not respond to emails. I paid the relatively high price for the full version and on restoring my iPhone it loaded only the free version and wants me to pay again! There are other apps that do the same thing.Mastermind!!!
Did not work
App had no real functionality, disappointing even if it's the free version. Didn't even give a good feel of what the full version is like, unless the full version is awful too.Astftw
Tried them all this one is Champion!
First of all don't listen to people who rate this app 1 star, this app deserves no less than 4 star reviews it has been well thought out and is a great app for beginning ear training. It is a quality app with exactly what I need. I have tried many ear training apps before finding this one. I love this app and I hope you will too. Some things to keep in mind: the interface is nice and neat, however, the button to start an exercise is not intuitive. It took me 5 minutes of play to figure out how to start an exercise. Push the >> (next button) to start an exercise, push > (play button) to repeat the sound. The rest is intuitive.
As far as unlocking all levels is concerned... I am a beginner and level 1 is challenging enough for me. Personally unlocking all levels wouldn't help me since I have a lot to learn from level 1. I appreciate the developers designing this app with great care and concern for beginners like me. Not only have I found a great app for my needs but I don't feel overwhelmed when using it.Show lessNewPollutionLove
Disappointedly
I installed the free version on iPad with iOS 5, and as experienced by a previous reviewer it doesn't work at all.0o3@9!tt
Perfect Pitch is Possible!
In the late 80s, I had a fantastic music teacher. This man clearly had the gift of perfect pitch and demonstrated it on a daily basis. The teacher was born with this gift, and it undoubtedly propelled his musical abilities. The teacher believed that only a few people were born this way, but that anyone could learn to develop a strong relative pitch. I was dubious, as I really struggled at the start of the course. After 2 years, however, I found myself to be dramatically improved in detecting relative pitch. Fast forward to 2009; I first found this free APP. The data collected during pitch training was significant- at first I struggled mightily. After only a few weeks, I noted my scores were rising above 50%! I now believe that perfect pitch can be acquired, through hard training and disciplined study- and Karajan is a tool that can expedite the whole process exponentially! I love the fact that there is a lite version available for free, and would enthusiastically endorse this APP to anyone who requires critical listening skills (heads up teachers of students who struggle with reading fluency). Suggestions for improvement include allowing a more choice in tones. Also, content could be elevated automatically as one increases in skill. Lastly, content could be delivered in a game format, enticing a wider mass appeal. Overall, 5/5 stars!Show lessCrankyRayHanky
Extremely limited
This app offers practically nothing! You can only listen to three different kinds of intervals and displays such little amount of theory info that no one could possible grow from this. You gotta pay $15 for the full version, which is the only way to unlock the rest of the intervals etc.MDC student
Karajan ear training app
Quite a serious app and nicely laid out, even though I only have the free version - sort of a try before I buy. Not requiring the depth that this program goes to, I don't really have the need for the paid version. And the free version has ceased to work so I will probably delete it and use one of the lesser, but still very functional apps that are available. Having said that, a student or more professional musician would most likely find this app ideal - maybe the paid version as it has more levels and may be less apt to failing, or whatever it was that happened to my install.

Useless on iPad
I've tried the free version and it is utterly useless. Opens on a keyboard screen that is unresponsive. Eventually crashed my iPad. Will be giving it a better rate only once you've corrected these issues!PCeotto
Word
This app is great. I would use it everyday if the full features weren't 15 bucks, but I'm not calling that outrageous. Every musician should have this app.Cereal
