works fine
Nice, easy app. I like the keyboard. Here's a request: when it's testing you for "Pitch", it would be nice if it played a few chords or tone clusters in between each pitch, to "scramble" the listener's ear. As it is now, it plays note after note like an interval chain- so it's easy for someone with good relative pitch to identify the note based on the previous note. What I want is something that actually exercises your ability to identify a note out of thin air. Does that make sense?Show lessdonaldonaldonald
Meh. Save your disk space.
It really doesn't do anything. No instructions to work what functionality it has. Yes, the piano is kind of cool, but you can only see an octave at a time and have to shift the screen yourself. That means it's not really all that playable simply as a piano.
I am interested in buying the bigger program, but not without playing with it first at $15. This free version is poor marketing for the big version.Show lessPen-an-app-review
Don't waste your time with the free version
The free version is completely limiting in which chords it shows you and which key signatures it displays. It doesn't play any exercises unless you pay for the full version. I would be more apt to buy the full version if I knew it just limited the number of exercises but at least showed full functionality. I can get more out of my pitch pipe and theory book!Show lessPetroNYC
YES
I am so glad to have found this! I always play this with a friend when by a piano...trying to guess the note that was played. Awesomejakefive

I'm really surprised this isn't rated higher - it is amazing if for nothing but the piano function. You have to open the app and tilt it sideways without hitting the next button to get it to just play, but sustains beautifully, and is quite accurate.hautbois684
As a music student...
I found it rather easy but this is definitely a must get for complete beginners!LBtwenty2
Okay little app
Playing around on this app, I've noticed a major flaw--the spellings of the chords are WAY off. Ex: Ab-E-Db is not the spelling of an Ab minor chord. But, if you don't need to learn the spelling, the app is just fine. Overall, that major discrepency in the free version has kept me from downloading the $15 one with more advanced theory.Show lessAstatekate
Cool, especially when it costs nowt
Some folks have criticised this app for being a little simplistic but I think it's great. How much functionality do you expect for a music tutor software that fits in your palm. It's great little application to test your ear while sitting on the bus etc.nazz is my nickname give it back
It gave me a bunch of help with music theory.
What would be really nice is an application like Finale or Sibelius. If you could do that, I would deeply appreciate it!Live Given

This program initially worked with only some of the functions being without sound. Now, some 2 months after is on my iPhone, the sound stopped working altogether while every other sound related applicaton on the unit continues to work perfectly. No key responds with sound in any mode. I rated it two stars for the time when it did work. I'll try reloading it to see if it fixes itself.Show lessIsaacWI
