Otherwise fine app. Thanks ### 4/5 — Great Learning App *2021-08-14* Great app for ear training but has a few bugs. For example, after closing an ad, you can’t go back to the main menu and have to close this app. ### 5/5 — Amazing for GCSE *2021-03-14* I’ve been struggling with the appraising questions for GCSE music and this app has helped so much! ### 5/5 — So useful *2021-03-03* I’m a secondary school student and really enjoy music theory. I came across this app from their website and it is the most useful app I have every found. It allows you to progress so quickly. 10/10 would recommend ### 5/5 — I dig it *2020-12-30* After learning some theory and a little ear training, my chops have improved. ### 4/5 — Good app but.. *2020-11-10* If It would be nice to see a statistics section, unless I missed it. ### 5/5 — Good app but..... *2020-10-21* Good little learning and practice tool, but as others have said, it’s not for complete beginners! ### 4/5 — Room for improvement *2020-04-05* I feel like this app is great, just a couple of things I would add that would make this app better: 1. Add Speed adjustment for scales 2. Add chromatic scale option. 2. Add Descending intervals, scales option This app is great just think these things would make it a lot better ### 5/5 — WOW *2020-03-31* I have literally never written a review before but this app is SO useful for me as a music composer for a video game. Thank you so much, developers, for gracing us with this gift. ### 5/5 — Im absolutely impressed *2020-02-07* The amount of happiness within the last hour since ive found your apps is 100 times more than usual. Im so proud that there are people like you guys, those who made it. Thanking you a lot ❤️ ### 5/5 — Great training app *2019-10-07* Just what we needed for music exams ### 4/5 — Could you please make it appear in Chinese？ *2019-09-12* 可以汉化一下吗？ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Boring *2022-05-24, version 2.4* It’s boring ### 1/5 — Unser Musiklehrer quält uns damit!!! *2021-05-31* Hilfe!!! ### 1/5 — “Aural Wiz pasted from...” *2020-10-31* Really? Your app has to copy content on the clipboard in order to function? You really need the last URL I pasted in order to teach music? You need the password I just copied? Yeah, I don’t think so. ### 1/5 — App review *2019-03-17* I am very confused on how to work this app. I’ve heard great things about it but honestly it’s not that great. I thought it would be straight forward but i thought wrong. I would only download this app if u know your way around these things. ### 2/5 — Mistake *2017-05-28, version 1.3.2* Just downloaded the app, tapping through the various exercises, and found a glaring mistake. The chord labeled "minor 7th" ( scale degrees 1-b3-5-b7, technically a minor-minor 7 chord) is outlined as a minor-major(1-b3-5-7). Ear training is difficult for most as it is, but wrong input is just wrong!!! Fix it, folks!!! ### 3/5 — Great app, wish it could be more in depth *2023-12-20* Really great app, just wish it included modes of melodic/harmonic minor, and chords with extensions ### 3/5 — Decent but a little limited *2022-07-23* Pretty good for really basic stuff, especially for modes and some scales. If you want to practice beyond the basic chords and cadences though you should try a different app ### 3/5 — Interesting *2020-11-19* This is an interesting app and helpful with scales etc. I was a little distracted with how the note’s timbre suddenly changes in the middle of a scale. ### 3/5 — Thank you *2020-04-07* I love this app but it could use a little more fun!! I found it boring at first ### 3/5 — Great app if you know what cadence, intervals and minors are *2019-09-07* Not so great if you only know basic music theory. There are no explanations anywhere to help you understand what the different terms mean. Aside from that it’s a great app, it’s great knowing what a minor 7th sounds like, not so great not knowing anything about what a minor 7th actually means.. hope his makes sense. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Why I love this app . *2026-06-29* It’s fun and challenging ### 5/5 — Wish I had this tool years ago *2026-05-23* Thank you for making this app and for allowing it to be free/ accessible. Wish I’d had this when first learning theory years ago. Very helpful with drilling the basics. ### 5/5 — Fun to play with *2026-01-12* Most of these were easy but I never really thought about major vs minor sixths before . . . Learned something new. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-11-29* Like it and love it. Really helpful ### 5/5 — Great App! *2025-03-25, version 2.5* I LOVE it; it’s a game changer! ### 5/5 — Teaching *2024-10-13* Teaches me useful stuff for my music. ### 5/5 — Good value and a fascinating app with much to recommend it. Simple to use. *2024-04-08* Superb. Thought I knew how to spot chords, cadences, modes etc. but this app makes you realise just how much there is to learn. Can’t complain, it’ll keep me entertained for a long time, assuming I make the the necessary progress. I play the piano and have good pitch, but even so it opens your eyes to the fascinating world of music theory as well as practice. ### 5/5 — Bullet Bass *2024-03-06, version 2.5* Great App !!! ### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic *2023-04-06* For a free app, this is fantastic. No ads, good quality. My only recommendation is more cadence recordings, they seem to repeat a lot. ### 5/5 — Great ear training app *2021-10-04* I have gotten so much faster identifying intervals after using this app! My one suggestion is adding an option to hear the higher note first with interval training. I always have to sing something back to myself if the note goes down instead of up. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
