Professional opinion
Decent app and a welcome addition for chord progression training (also see chear and better ears apps).
I like that you can switch to Roman numerals instead of chord names. I haven't unlocked the other two chained off tiers of training (why are these not available from the start?) but from what I have seen, the bass is still too powerful even when turned down all the way. It overwhelms the rest of the triads and makes hearing the root movement unrealistic in a real world setting.
The biggest flaw is that this is the game of simon and I still haven't figured out how to have it play in different keys for each challenge. The app would be much better if it played the chords randomly in varying keys rather than simply adding one more chord in the same progression as a memorization challenge rather than a purely aural one.
Hope you update it, it is well designed and you're onto something good.

Ok
It is ok not for under 5
Will be great when bugs are fixed
Great practice tool, but the app slows down to the point of being annoying. Especially so during the timed rounds when you run out of time before the app processes your answers
Awesome!
Sweet app! Really tests me
Fantastic introduction to music
This is a fantastic introduction to train one's ear to truly listen.
Ehh
It's ok
EarWizard is a great app
I am no musical genius. I spent many dollars and many years trying to train these ears of mine with few positive results. Along comes EarWizard… I have been finding great benefit to using EarWizard. The visual feedback is good for those of us without great ears and the progression from much visual feedback to none during each round is great for building confidence. The visuals of Jordan playing the chords with his various facial expressions are funny and the way the app mixes things up to keep you honest is also a good feature so that one cannot succeed on memory of visual cues alone. My lone criticism is that if you have both an iPhone and an iPad, your progression through the app is not shared between devices as of my last examination. Granted, it keeps the challenge high, so you have to duplicate your efforts between devices, but it would be nice to have the option to play on both devices and maintain your progress.

Best Music Chord App Ever
I've been playing with this app for a while now. I have several things to say:
This application has a LOT of potential for developing your Chord Ear. The person who created this knows how to train someone's ear, and probably has a very advanced ear himself to begin with.
I know it's the first version ever to be launched, but for this app to deliver it's full potential, I feel it must have more scales (probably training on all the modes), there should be levels where you combine Triads with 7ths as to help in real life situations. The app is really fun, and that it why it is so effective, I can't imagine having all the options I listed above available. It would make this great app, into an amazing app. And probably the best ever to be created

Fun and educational
Great app! It helps me in learning to write music and is addictively fun at the same time.
Would like to see chord numbers
I think this game is a great idea. Musical "Simon" turns into legitimate ear training really fast. However, I'd like to see chord numbers instead of the chord letters. The numbers would work in any key and users could see how chord function stays consistent across different keys. Perhaps that could come in an update? Great start though!
