  • Useful and effective

    Definitely worth the investment
  • This snob likes it!

    I'm critical when it comes to music training apps. In fairness, I've only been using this one for a week or two, but so far I'm quite pleased. I use this with headphones and the quality of the piano sound that generates the tones is quite good (I've tried some apps where the tone is so unpleasant that I don't want to use it). This app is pretty simple and straightforward. Easy to use. Customizable. I like it.

  • Practice hearing Dom7 chords and V/I progression

    I just finished Jamey Aebersold jazz camp and learned I need to learn to hear the Dom7 Major and Minor chords.

    I set up to just use C key until I hear it without error, then add C and F key, then 3 keys and work my way up to all 12 keys.

    Great learning and ear training tool for hearing chords

    Update May 2017: A year later and I love this program.

  • Great

    You'll have better luck learning to ear train if you try and sing back what you hear even if ya don't sing
  • Needed

    You need this if you're a professional musician!
  • Is good app

    Doing this review with Russian accent... Is good app. Leetle buttons are hard to press sometime. But is good. I use in morning while having breakfast. (No, not Vodka... is too early for "lunch").
  • Great App

    Really nice to have ear training on the go. Love how it tracks your progress and the settings are super customizable. The exercises are progressive and well ordered.
  • Excellent ear training tool!

    Woohoo! Customization! I can now make my own interval identification exercises for thirds only. Glad to finally get back on track using this app which has been the only thing I've ever found to effectively allow me to distinguish between harmonic m2 and M2 consistently. Please fix the incorrect display of enharmonics - F and F# may sound like a m2 but they aren't! Lots of these popping up.

    <previous review> Please please please make the interval identification have more sections. I'm still stuck on thirds after more than a year. This app was SO helpful on learning 2nds that I wish it could help me on 3rds but doing 2nds and 3rds together harmonically is just too much at once. Doing them separate and then together would be the best!!!

    <previous review>
    I'm a professional musician but have always had trouble with identifying intervals, especially harmonically. With a brief daily practice using this app I can now consistently identify the difference between m2 and M2 harmonically and m2, M2, m3, and M3 melodically! I wish this app had identifying harmonic thirds by themselves before combining with seconds because my ears are getting overwhelmed but that is my only wish to improve the app. The addition of the melodic aspect is great.

  • One of my favorite apps

    The new custom lesson feature opens up endless possibilities for this app. Great job, guys!

    In the future it might be cool to be able to edit the voicing of the chords a little more specifically, to move towards a study of the art of counterpoint.

    I use this app every single day, and my ability to hear pitch relationships has gotten much stronger. It's not a "game," but it is a lot of fun, like any well made tool. I don't know of another ear training app that does chord progressions. I always look forward to their updates, because they sometimes come with new lessons. Maybe some tutorials to explain some of the theory behind the lessons would be interesting and helpful. But if you are already studying music, and using this as a supplement to hone your skills, this is perfect.

  • Short, Sweet, To the Point

    This app is just that. The exercises are straightforward and easy to follow. The progressing in difficulty of exercises keeps them interesting and challenging. Though I've been studying music full time and working on my ear for about four years now, I still have trouble working my way through some of the exercises. I had the free app and was excited to upgrade to the full app. The only thing I could imagine improving the app is customizable exercises. Regardless, this is an incredibly useful tool for developing one's musical ear.
