I have a Wishlist item for the dev. Please have an option where we can play the chord again and again after we get it right. I want to train my ear to hear the chord, not rush from one chord to the next chord. I need to spend some time on each chord and would even like the option for me to replay the correct chord multiple times. Let me choose when I am ready to move on instead of the app automatically changing to a new chord. Second, it would be nice if it would tell us exactly what chord we are playing. Otherwise, great app. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2013-06-09, version 1.3* The apps is simply wonderful. It has a plethora of chords ranging from simple triads all the way to extended jazz chords. A must-have app for any musician. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-05-03, version 1.3* Perfect app. Exactly what I was looking for to work on my jazz chord recognition. Very smooth running too. Great app!! ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2013-04-11, version 1.3* Couldn't ask for more. Simple, clear and all required options are there. Thx! ### 5/5 — Awesome. *2013-04-05, version 1.3* What I've always wanted. Something that would train me with chords for ear training. Thanks! I think it should have an option that will let you continue to hear the sounds of notes that are wrong. Every time you play a wrong note, it's disabled, but hearing it could help you find the right chord. ### 5/5 — I like *2013-01-12, version 1.2* Schönes Interface.. Gut gemacht mit dem Piano und dem multiple Choice. Und auch die große Auswahl an Akkorden... Top! Best of its Kind! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — goodEar Chords *2012-12-30* Not very useful as I was hoping the chords would be presented visually on a stave to assist with sight reading. Difficult to input or change-hard to know what's going on most of the time. ### 3/5 — Useful *2013-11-20, version 1.4* I use this app every day, I would give it 5 stars; but where is the dominant 7 flat 5 chord!? Please add it in as this is a fundamental chord in Jazz. Also altered dominants ie combinations of #5/b5 with #9/b9 would be much more useful than some of the weird extended dominants. ### 3/5 — would be great... if... *2013-09-14, version 1.3* This would be a spectacular tool if one thing were added and one changed: - First, the constant reordering of answer buttons is both meaningless and irritating. It's not a coordination game. Adds a level of completely wasteful frustration. - Second, the ability to lock the exercise into a specific harmonic context. I really don't get why everyone misses on this one. Tonal music, which is the point here, is neither played nor heard as random splatters of chord varieties. The point of all this is the relationships between chords and voicing WITHIN A TONAL/HARMONIC CONTEXT. Training outside that context slows learning and decreases useful (musical) results. Why is that so hard to understand? ### 3/5 — Nice...but *2013-09-02, version 1.3* I would give this app 5 stars if it would also tell me what the chord is. When i'm reading a fake book all I see is the note and the chord name. Tell me that it's C major, or F minor, etc. That little bit of extra info would make this app twice as useful. ### 3/5 — Needs better interface *2013-05-04, version 1.3* The fact that the answer buttons randomly reorder themselves is frustrating. I made several errors because I pressed the wrong button. I want to get feedback on my ear training not how well I can find where the correct answer moved on the screen. Otherwise this is a very good program. If the button didn't move, I would probably give it four stars. ### 4/5 — Great App *2013-12-29, version 1.5* Great app for ear training. Much more musician friendly and logical than other ear apps ive tried. I like that you can select the chords to work on. I started with a couple chords and was able to quickly add more by spending 15 minutes a day. I'd give it five stars, except it doesn't play through my headphones. I thought it was my headphones at first, but they work just fine on all my music and other apps. Also don't understand why the combined app is more expensive than all of them purchased separately. ### 5/5 — 😍❤️ *2022-01-06, version 1.6.4* Fantastic app! I’ve been using this app (along with the scales and interval training apps) for over a year now. Really improves ear training for uni. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Simple and fun *2020-09-17, version 1.6.4* This entire series is a great alternative to games when I need a five-minute break. I hope the developer decides to bring it current with the latest iOS. ### 5/5 — Great Tool for Ear-Training *2020-06-27, version 1.6.4* Well-designed app. ### 5/5 — Pragmatic & Simple *2017-07-31, version 1.6.4* Works. Gives you a way to test and learn that even a beginner can dive into. Recommended improvements - flash the chord played with the answer ideally using marcotone's associative colour wheel giving each frequency in the octave it's own colour. Also, just because the middle is wrong or not answered yet, don't count the last wrong. The middle is the hardest to isolate. But telling then the next is wrong too is in my opinion a bad idea - perfect pitch is difficult, so focus on what people get right when possible to not discourage users. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good app training my ears *2017-03-21, version 1.6.4* Never got any formal music training. I had a hard time to 'feel' music. This app really helps. ### 5/5 — They do what they should. *2016-11-29, version 1.6.4* This is a very good app for musicians all of those who want to become. All the apps from the developer are very complete and my contact with the support was very fast and helpful. I can only Recomment all of that your training apps. They are not very nice to look at, though. ### 5/5 — Great set of apps *2016-11-29, version 1.6.4* Use these every day. Perfect for the job. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-06-17, version 1.5* Good for helping u play your minors and majors on the piano ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2013-11-24, version 1.5* A dazzling array of chords, thrown at you in a randomised, yet fully customisable way. Impressive app that could do a hell of a lot for your ear. ### 5/5 — Excelente! *2013-11-21, version 1.5* Perfecta para educar el oído. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
