Music Theory Pro User Reviews

Frustrating

It’s good for learning, but don’t get fooled. This is the most frustrating app I’ve ever downloaded. Go buy something else instead. (Except if you have a child who is bad at music) It is very hard and it is boring.

Can’t exit the app—but the rest is brilliant

I find this app fantastic and simple to use. But I can’t exit the app or even swipe it away. I have to go to the Home Screen and review in the App Store to exit.

Sadly frustrating for beginners

I went on the recommendation of Music 101. As a beginner, I was hoping to find an app that would enhance what I’m learning, instead I find “games” that have zero instruction and teach me nothing. I only spent $5, but when you’re getting nothing for the $5, it’s too much money. Either change the name of this app or vastly improve it by adding instructions, which would make it more user friendly at least.

Accountability Helper

I’ve used this app for nearly 8 years and it’s a staple with my students. It great for increasing their speed and recognition of notes, intervals, scales, keys and sounds. It makes it very easy to set goals for your students (recognize all complex intervals 100% in less than 15s). They then screen shot it and text it to you for tests.

Please fix volume issue

Any updates on getting the volume for the interval training to be the same as the chord training?

Interval training is very faint, even on full sound

Volume error iPad

Hi great app but there is something wrong with the volume on my iPad Pro, it’s very quiet and when I increase the volume it just gets quieter.

Volume and Landscape view

While the app and idea is fantastic, the program does have some upgrades that would improve the program. One the program opens in a landscape view on phone and does not rotate to portrait view. That upgrade would be beneficial just for increased functionality. Second, the volume does come out very low on the phone and can not seem to find a way to improve that.

App is broken

This app was usable a few years ago. Now it stops functioning after a few times thru the chird recognition exercise. No one maintains it.

Sound does not work

Oh the irony. You cannot hear the notes or chords being played that the app is quizzing you on. What a huge embarrassing failure. No one is fixing this app either, yet they continue to sell it despite the warnings of the problems I encountered. Some are nearly 3 years old!!! Garbage.

Good for testing, not teaching

This app has some very useful features for testing what you already know about music theory. However there are no lessons to actually teach you about music theory. You can learn by virtue of trial and error when answering the test-your-knowledge questions, but that is very frustrating and ineffective. This app is for the person who has already has a strong music theory foundation. It is not that useful for those hoping to build a foundation.
