Bad audio
It’s a nice app but the sounds on my phone play erratic cuts.
IOS 11
It was perfect but it doesn’t work correctly on ios 11. Sound distortion is what I get.
Audio issues
Five star app but the audio crackles and takes away from the learning experience. This is on an iPhone SE
Great app, why are all levels on key of C?
This app is really helpful, but I don't understand why even the hardest levels are all in C. I know that you can create your own levels using the random generator, but there's a reason there are preset levels! If the goal of the app is be able to hear within a harmonic context, the preset levels should absolutely at some point start to quiz you not in the key of c major.

Finally! A great update!
This was the best program for ear training for a long time, but it was broken for a few years, maybe since iOS 7? I even kept my old iPad not upgraded just to use this app. It was that good. I figured development was just abandoned as the website seemed to be gone. Then I saw that the granddaddy of ear training apps finally got a rewrite a month ago! So thrilled, I can't tell you how sad I was when I thought this app was gone. I wish I wasn't without it for two years, but the new version makes it worthwhile. Charlie Banacos' ear training method lives on! Thank you!!

Excellent tool
I just finished the "Notes I" beginner section, and have noodled around in the other levels to see what I'm in for. This is simple but not easy, took me a lot of focus, and is already helping me get my "ear" back. I used to be able to sight-sing (like 15 years ago....) and I'm working on immersing myself in musical language again.
I went back to finish the last section of Notes I after a couple of days away and it took me a lot of tries (yes, embarrassing). It might have helped if I went back a section or two to warm up first, but it was also worth it to keep trying each time I got one wrong.
Worth way more than $2!

Love this app
Can't say enough good things about this program. It's one of those things I didn't know I was looking for. Use it during my commute to and from work and can already tell a huge difference after only a week. I grew up playing music and have always been a little intimidated by pitch and am indebted to this app for helping me overcome that. Props to the creator for making it practical and fun! Highly, highly recommended!

So fantastic!
I use this app all the time and love it! I have improved so much!
So enlightening!
I'm not a musician, but I've been curious about what one 'hears' as a musician. Now I know, or at least I'm getting there. Great educational tool!
THE best pitch trainer!
I kept old iPod touches around just to keep running the old version. I'm glad they have updated it for the newer iOS. The version starts simple and works its way up, gradually,to fiendishly difficult. Great fun and highly customizable.
Super addictive!!!
Seems to be improving my clarity already bc I'm singing the pitch as I go and seeing my speed improve :-) I never buy apps but I feel like I got my $2 worth already just from the icon of Bach with a pencil in his ear!!
Perfect ear training method
When I was in high school, I used this method of ear training ... but that was 1992 and we didn't have smartphones. So I used a tape recorder, and recorded myself playing cadences (F - G - C), random notes, and then I'd speak the names of the notes, repeating until I filled up the tape - cadence / random note / note name - and then I'd listen to the tape, and try to guess the notes before I heard myself say them. This is an awesome automation of this process! Highly recommend.

Perfect app. Used to have to do this with a keyboard and a pencil eraser with my eyes closed
Thanks! Wondering if you got this exercise from Charlie like I did. Thanks! Ears are getting better and thus one is all you need!
What it needs:
-Option to turn off intro(no root note) for a more difficult training
-Practice function where you can just press the keys to hear the pitches before playing the actual game
-Fix the random thing so that it doesn't repeat same note or play the root note more than once
-Settings option to select which octaves the note can be played on for setting how difficult you want it to be.
It's a great app but really needs these things, and the price is pretty ridiculous to be honest.

Good
This is how my ear training class is taught, and I wanted an app where I could practice. A few notes:
I wish there were a couple different cadence options and the option to have multiple notes per cadence in the as we have daily note tests where we get 5 notes per cadence but only diatonic notes. Also wish there were more octaves of notes. With just the 1, it's too easy to hear if it's a high note or low note and judge based on that.
Haven't had much time to use it but no crashes yet. Overall does what I need. 5 stars if those options are added.

Very useful tool for maintaining perfect pitch!
Good app, But.....
Seems fairly obvious that you'd have an option to take the time limit off, but you guys didn't include that for some reason. That would be much more helpful for practicing than having to restart the quiz every single time the time runs out. Also have an option to deactivate the intro being played between every single question for more advanced users. C'mon!!!

Awesome
Even a well trained musician can find great practice with this.
Ear training must!
As a music teacher and performer I love this app! I'll use it both for myself and with my students.
