Dont update
the last update is no working, at least on my iphone 4gs...,
Update ruined it
The sizing changed after the update, so for e.g. you'll be asked for note names but you can't access the options to choose the right one. Has become useless. Can't see an option to undo the update. Tried deleting and reloading app but didn't help.
Was awesome! Until
So this app is very well designed and has been helping me a lot with learning my music theory faster, but since I switched to iPhone 6 I'm not able to switch the settings in the app, for example, somehow I was able to switch to bass clef and then wanted to switch back to trouble clef but now it does not let me switch. Please update and fix this bug I do really like this app and would have given 5 stars!

Great preference selection
Whew! After rolling the dice on several similar apps, and finding that the developers wanted piccolo players to learn bass clef, (why not Chinese and Sanskrit too?), I found this app. Covers every aspect of music, and allows control of preferences. X bass clef, in my case. Try this one first.
Only annoyance ...
Posting score is of no use or help to me. Wastes my priceless time. I'd like to loop back in instantly for another go. Not get social. I compete against myself...healthier.

Looks better works worse!
I used this a few years ago to pass my ABRSM grade 5 theory. I liked the games and it included a little "?" button that explained in easy to understand detail how the theory worked for each section. Having this reference was integral to completing the games unless you already have a teacher to tell you how to figure out things like intervals. I only revisited to recommend and am disappointed I can't use it to brush up on my own theory.

Great way to drill yourself!
Great app for reinforcing your skills. I've been using it to practice key signatures and it's been very helpful. One small issue is that occasionally the correct answer will be dimmed-out and unpressable...forcing you to choose an incorrect answer. Not really a big deal. I definitely recommend this app for any serious musician.

Not for kids
As the name of this app suggests, it's for professionals. I bought it for my daughter to prepare for her grade 5 theory test, but only found it helpless. No instruction, no guidance, and you have to guess what to do for every piece and part when using this app.
Very helpful
This app has helped me prepare for my grade 5 abrsm theory exam. Gave me all kinds of drills I used over and over again. You can adjust the level of difficulty you require.
Would be great if it were a little more fun
One star because I have been waiting for an update for a year. I love this app. But I am not motivated to use it much. It could be so much more. How about levels and progress charts and achievement records? How about a visual map to show progress like on some of the addicting iPad games? What makes Candy crush so addicting? It's the levels and visual sense of progress.
Also, this app has so much more potential... Chord inversions, chord progressions, relative pitch, perfect pitch, key/chord relationships, instrument (timbre) recognition, texture identification.... Add some of these ideas and make it fun / addicting to play and you'll be my favorite app.

Worth it!
Has everything a student looking to study would need, the only issue is the high scores seem a little bit high. Maybe people are that clever but I am certainly not one of them. Otherwise just what you need.
