Pulse quiz

Now that the interval quiz is working (thank you) another student noticed that if he just taps rapidly during the pulse quiz, he gets a correct answer…

Doesn’t work with AirPods

The app tells you to use headphones, but AirPods don’t work with this app

Interval quiz doesn’t work

I find the apps generally very useful with students but the interval trainer quiz on this one doesn’t seem to work. Maybe not many other folks have tried it to notice the problem.

No Bluetooth connection

I use this app for my students but wish there was a way to connect via Bluetooth to a smart speaker so that they can clap rather than having to tap. The volume on a phone is not sufficient to clap along to. I realise this app is designed to recognise the responses but having an option to use it more like the old aural CDs would be an excellent improvement.

Good but not accessible through Bluetooth speaker

Would really prefer to use this with Bluetooth speaker or headphones rather than listening with the poor speakers on my phone. I teach and pupils struggle with the dynamics on phone speaker. Everything else I listen to goes through Bluetooth.

Bug leave microphone active after quitting app

Notice there is a security flaw. When you quit the app (swiping up from bottom of the screen or pressing home button), the app is still listening on the microphone (microphone indicator still showing).

Developer needs to urgently fix this security flaw. Otherwise app is a great learning tool.

Bluetooth connection not working

This is app is a helpful resource but does not connect to a Bluetooth speaker, which is why I wanted the app in the first place. Please sort this ASAP.

Not a trainer just a tester

There is no training material, only full speed tests as in the exams. So only useful for students who already have the skills and want to practice just before an exam. There is no way to change the pitch so tests assume that students are girls or boys whose voices have not broken. Very limited use and mis-sold as a training app not to mention the poor level of support with long delays or no response.

Ok

First impressions: the App looks good, but the 150 bonus feature exercises are not accessible. I am not offered to ‘upgrade’ but to ‘purchase’, which when pressed tells me ‘unknown product identifier ‘. I hope they sort this.

Response from developer

Hi Eleined, Thank you for your comment. We have released an update which should have fixed the issue you describe. Please install the latest version (3.0.1), and if you continue to encounter a problem please contact auraltrainer@abrsm.ac.uk so we can investigate further.

Very good app

I have started using this app and it is very useful. Just one problem when I try call in the rhythm it does not detect my clapping while all other microphone activities work. Also for the difference though I tap the screen at the right time it shows it as wrong.

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your comment. Please note that there are no clapping tests in the app - you must tap the screen in order to answer the question. If you clap, your response will not be registered as the app is expecting you to tap the screen. You can tap anywhere on the screen but try to stay on the same spot on the screen. If you leap about too much your response may not register fully. If you need further assistance using the app please contact auraltrainer@abrsm.ac.uk.
