Unusable
App is unusable because of aggressive ads and lack of instructions about how anything works. I clicked on the perfect fifths thing, pressed the go button and it instantly said i failed and made me watch an add.
Really just an annoying app that could probably be good if the dev found a way to monetize it without aggressive ads and made it more obvious how to use it

Pretty good
Helps me wth violen tuning but can get a little annoying if the pitch gets too high
More ads than any app I've ever used
Every time I click on any button on this app, there is a 3/4 chance of a long, unskippable ad being played. Just about unusable.
The UI feedback is really clunky
The sliders on the left and right provide no visual feedback if they are being changed, and their parameters extend beyond the screen. So at times it’s hard to tell if you’re actually successful in adjusting the tone. Having the slider be a wheel, (visualize a mouse middle click wheel) would be a better system. The left slider seems to go behind the pause button, it’s hard to tell where the sliders actually end on the screen. If you want to continue raising the tone once you hit the top of the screen, the game instructs you to start at the bottom again. It’s not clear if that’s the same case for continuing to lower the tone after you touch the bottom of the screen, since the pause button is there. Does it work this way only if you start at the edges, or can you change the upper/lower limits of the slider if you start closer to the center? The UI doesn’t make that clear, and the fact that it’s a text box telling you to start at the bottom again is already an example of bad UI.
There are also ads after every screen, but those can be turned off for a single $9.99 purchase. It’s a neat game, but the instructions and interface are way to too awkward.

Fun app for just intonation training
I used this to grok in my minor thirds and minor sixths by ear.
App developers - could you allow custom intervals, I want to train the minor second 10/9 as well as some of the septimal intervals 7/6.

Terrific for ear training!
I like this game a LOT for ear training. I’m not overly fond of the default tone, but I’m glad I can switch it to piano or violin, so it has a more pleasant timbre. Also, I like that it shows the frequency of the sound. While not the same as other people’s measurements for perfect pitch, it’s pretty close, by hertz.
My only complaint is that, I wish it was possible to turn off the applause and whistling that automatically plays when you win a level. The whistling person sound in particular can be very shrill and ear piercing if you had to turn up the volume to better hear chords and fifths and other sounds that are in lower, bass clef notes.
It can be a little difficult to get the sliders to go where you’re trying to get them if you’re a visual person as well as auditory, however, you get used to it and just focus more on the sound than how far it “looks” like it’s going to move in pitch. That helps.
Other than that, I enjoy this game a lot and think it’s terrific for ear training!

Response from developer
Thank you very much for your feedback. We are currently applying for a new version that includes a feuture to reduce sound effects. Please look forward to new releases.
LOVE it!!!
I love this app, so useful and CUTE!
Too many ads
Decent app. I understand it’s free and ads are to be expected, but the ads on this are out of control. Every time you click anywhere, even to look through levels; another ad, and they’re so repetitive
Great for string students
I use this excellent game to train my violin and viola students to hear and match pitch well. Students of all ages have found it to be fun, challenging and helpful. Thank you for creating this game!
Ways to Improve Ap
This app could use:
Option to not have the harmony play at the beginning of the exercise for more of a cold challenge. It’s made easier when it the first thing you hear is the target harmony
More timbre options (timpani would be great)
Have the exercises progress in randomized sequences within each interval, so it’s not just going up by step each time. You start just hearing a step wise sequence instead of truly listening for the interval
Have a randomized mode where intervals are switched up, so you have a P5 followed by a m3 followed by a M6 for example.
