Great app. ### 5/5 — Awesome and cute app *2019-07-11* Love this app. Great for training your ears to recognize changes in notes! ### 5/5 — Excellent app for interval training! *2019-03-03* I’m a music teacher of private and group lessons in several instruments, and direct adult and children’s voice, chime, and bell choirs, and highly recommend this app! I wish I had discovered it sooner. I teach Solfege in everything I do, and this is a great way to help train the ear to recognize intervals. I love the cat theme, but even more love the accuracy of the pitches and the increasing difficulty as the levels climb, which presents a fun challenge, even for those of us skilled in recognizing and identifying interval steps, skips, and leaps! I ended up purchasing the whole set of these apps, and will use them with my students. Thank you and keep making more of these!! ### 5/5 — Une app intéressante même pour des oreilles exercées *2019-02-15* Ludique et rigolote, cette app peut aussi montrer les griffes cachées dans ses pattes de velours. Les exercices note à note au début s’étalent progressivement sur trois octaves avec les altérations. A chaque niveau, deux exercices « poisson » d’une difficulté redoutable permettent, quand on en vient à bout, de nourrir ou gâter plus ou moins bien Écho, chaton maigrelet et isolé qui devient peu à peu un gros chat entouré de nourriture, de plantes, de jouets... On n’est pas obligé de faire tous les niveaux pour débloquer les exercices. Le graphiste a réussi un tour de force en permettant de jouer sur trente-six notes facilement : des chats, seuls présents dans les premiers niveaux, campent les touches blanches du piano, des oiseaux les touches noires, et trois fleurs de couleurs différentes permettent en cliquant dessus de choisir une des trois octaves, Autre point fort, les notes peuvent être soit numérotées, soit écrites à l’américaine ou à la franco-italienne. Les niveaux sont très progressifs (on commence avec trois notes) et les morceaux joués que l’on doit retenir et rejouer sont des standards très soigneusement accompagnés. On ne se lasse pas de ces apps. On ne paie qu’une fois, et on s’entraîne avec ou sans connexion. App joyeuse et sympathique, n’hésitez pas ! ### 5/5 — Best! *2018-11-15* Loveliest and most motivating ear training app EVER! Thank you for this. Not just a flash card game. I would recommend this to ALL students as an essential tool to learn from. Other apps I’ve tried have been dry and difficult and I have to drag myself to them with lots of caffeine. This stimulates learning with enjoyment = retention - and even better - I’ll use it a lot!! And I know my students will love this too!! ### 5/5 — Fun while you learn! *2018-10-23* This is a great way to learn intervallic relationships between notes! Easily relates to solfege or numbering systems, and - as usual - I love the background sounds. Really helpful to have tonic “humming” underneath it all! Only problem I have found is that many of my students are not familiar with the song at the end of Level 1. ### 5/5 — True life saver *2018-05-06* I’m not exactly exaggerating when I say games produced by this developer changed my life. As an adult who did not learn any music younger and who truly regret it, I learnt almost everything I need for reading music notes using the cat series, when I was 19 and tried to self-educate, and those games were something truly stuck with me after a lot of frustration using other method. Now brilliancy strike again, this listening game is all I want for a sharp ear practice, plus the design is elegant, harmonious, and cute as always. ### 5/5 — 재밌게 음감연습했어요 *2018-05-05* 난이도도 여러개라 즐기기 좋았어요. 다만 음악연주하는건 후반부갈수록 탄에 비해 난이도가 쉽게 느껴집니다. 후반부 화음부분 난이도가 상당하던데 연주테스트만 쉽더라구요. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — iPadOS 13 *2020-02-15* No sound and no instructions for iOS 13. **Developer response:** Hi please can you check our post on how to unmute your device. Hopefully this should solve the issue. https://melodycats.com/no-sound/ ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-02-07* Downloaded and I can’t hear anything **Developer response:** Hi please can you check our post on how to unmute your device. Hopefully this should solve the issue. https://melodycats.com/no-sound/ ### 1/5 — Needs Better Instructions *2019-08-25* OMG, it is so confusing and there are no explanations or instructions available. The how to video is a joke. ### 4/5 — Really good. *2021-11-26* Thanks for this. Really useful. This, with Treble Cat and Bass Cat make a great training suite. I would have liked it if they introduced the colour tones outside the major scale in Ear Cat not all at once. But that’s just me. Still, a fabulous tool and I use it all the time. ### 4/5 — Some suggestions *2020-02-13* My private lesson teacher recommended this app, so I got it right away. I had my phone on silent and do not disturb and it wasn’t using the sound. I had to turn it off for it to work and I’d like it better if you could use it on silent and do not disturb. Other than that it is amazing♡ ### 4/5 — Good in so many ways, and... *2019-11-15* This app is really fun and slightly addictive. It really helps with ear training- getting your ears to be able to distinguish clearly between tones. I wish they had spent a bit more time in one octave, adding more tones per session, before moving on to 2 octaves, I’m only on level III, so we’ll see... Also, the “take care of Echo” game is confusing and should have more options. ( add exercise ...?) And... I wish they gave out 4 stars, going down to zero, and had more comments other than well done! and Purrfect! ### 4/5 — 😌 *2019-10-07* A bit glitchy but cool ### 4/5 — 재밌어여 *2019-07-11* 꽤재밌네여 ### 4/5 — Good for interval training *2019-03-18* Works well for interval identification, but I found the exercises where you have to play back a song extremely difficult because only one octave (7 notes, actually) shows on the screen at a time and switching them up and down is very counterintuitive for a keyboard player. There should be some way to show more notes on the screen at a time. ### 5/5 — It’s the cat purr! *2025-03-29* Honestly it is disarming and very funny. Thank you. Absolutely lovely way to use the ears. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best *2022-02-10* Bye ### 5/5 — Great and fun app *2021-05-27* It’s an amazing app that combine marvelously education and fun. The game is addictive, and not only one improves greatly at hearing intervals but also at integrating single pitch, emulating someone with perfect pitch. So while having fun, one is working on one of the most fundamental and important aspect of music learning. I highly recommend this app for both young kids and adults! **Developer response:** Thank you very much! Really appreciate the positive and kind feedback! ### 5/5 — 재밌어요. *2021-01-18* 재밌게 잘 했습니다. ### 5/5 — Muito bacana *2020-02-15* Ótimo app para treinar o ouvido, tanto para crianças como para adultos. ### 5/5 — Newfie! *2019-10-09* This is fun and relaxing. ### 5/5 — Fun *2019-10-06* This gets my paw pad print of approval 🐾 ### 5/5 — Help me with my Piano work and getting the stuff out of brain *2019-09-03* Soooo cool! Hard but it is fun and awesome!!!! You should make a...... 2 PART!!! ### 5/5 — Wonderfully fun and challenging! *2019-08-11* This game is very entertaining as well as engaging your ears, brain, and coordination. So many wonderful simple melodies that are used, familiar, yet to pick them out right is so much fun. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Pawsome *2019-07-14* 5 toe beans out of 5. Simple app and great for music training and recognising notes. It’s very cute too for people who like cats --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
