Rather minimal, but effective.
I think for what they charge, if they had another mode for testing, or another module or two to practice other aspects of production-focused ear-training, that this would be a much more bang-for-your-buck app. It’s certainly effective at getting you to practice hearing pitch in Hz, boosting, and EQ, but key features like panning, distortion, reverb, chorus and more are missing from this. I know there are platforms, like SoundGym, that charge more for all the music ear training variety you could want, but I think that, even for just a bit more, they could have at least a SOLID variety of content that’s not too shabby and would let me practice on key things like basic sound effects. If there’s an expansion for this app that I missed, do let me know!Show lessI'm very tired.
Good app so far, but a suggestion?
MAKE IT COMPETITIVE! I’m telling you, you will definitely get more longevity out of it if the tests tell you how you did compared to other people. Like a leaderboard, maybe just for the most popular tests! I know the competitive side of everyone will want to better their scores, making themselves listen better in the long run, also making them use the app more! WIN WIN!Show lessjba. Productions
Redundant and Greedy
So phones dont have some of these tested hz ranges. So it will be impossible to decipher some, Im a mixing/mastering engineer and see a bunch of potential with this app but the pay wall is egregious and I found myself questioning if the quizzes were even accurate. My advice to learn this stuff is just do, I got excited when I saw this app but in the end it was snake oil. I do hope the developer refines this and reconsiders the pay wall. Maybe put everything the user NEEDS and then add goodies on top of it.Show lessConrad_Mayfield
Developer Response
Hi - To get the most out of Quiztones ear training, we recommend using headphones or speakers. The base app is 100% free with 10+ beginner quizzes and has everything needed to get started. For those who want more content, features and difficulty, and to take their skills to the next level, we have Quiztones Pro. As a small team working full time on maintenance, features and content, our Pro customers directly support making this effort possible. I can assure you the quizzes are accurate as it’s programatic with testing and checks in place to ensure it — I can appreciate the irony of this comment though. You’re entitled to not like subscriptions, in this case $14.99 per year (less than 28 cents per week) for educational software that’s proven itself over 15 years. You can have that opinion, or email us feedback or questions, without trying to sandbag our reviews with false accusation. I’m sorry if this was the impression you got from Quiztones, but we’ll have to let our other reviews speak for themselves from those who spent proper time using the app and have seen great results.
