Good for beginner students

Good for beginner students. App allows for customization to different grade levels of piano

Very Useful

Simple and well-functioning portable ear trainer. Holds you to accurate intonation.

All apps should function this well.

Exactly what I was looking for!

What a great way to train your ear! Just started practising on my piano and amazed how the app recognising the notes I press on the piano. I'll include training with this app in my daily piano playing routine.

Good for musicians

Lots of ways to practice developing your ear and ability to visualize.

Easy app to use

This app is helping me with intervals. It also won't register a correct pitch if I chip it slightly on my horn. Easy to use too.

The absolute best

I hope this app never stops being developed. It's absolutely perfect!!

Good concept

Needs marketing

What a great app

This is a quite fantastic little app that does exactly what it says it will, and all for free. Auto-calibrates itself. Nice clean design, and a joy to use. I'm a huge fan of Rick's work, and I so appreciate his wonderful generosity in sharing his ear training ideas and applications with the wider community of musicians. This gets all thumbs up from me.

Great for free but....

Would be 5 stars except it almost never picks up the low E and F and sometimes G on my guitars. This is an annoyance when doing intervals because it counts it as incorrect even though I'm playing the correct note. Perhaps because it was designed for a trumpet? I've tried calibrating multiple times to no success. Still a good app though and the only free one I could find.

Not working with iOS 9

After updating to iOS 9 app does not work just plays single tone!

Even before the upgrade there was a problem with app if you used timer on phone or if got call then you lose sound!
