Hope it gets fixed it’s really fun **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. I have fixed this in the latest version. Please update the app in the App Store. If everything works as expected afterwards, I’d really appreciate an updated 5-star review. ### 5/5 — Wirklich die beste App für Eartraining *2023-12-27, version 1.6.4* Ich mag die App wirklich! Die Aufgaben sind Abwechslungsreich und die Nutzung der Klaviatur hilft gleich sensibel für die Anwendung. Super guter Preis und gut programmiert ohne Probleme! ### 3/5 — Actualización. *2023-10-17, version 1.6.4* Tengo esta App desde hace 6 años aproximadamente y desde entonces no han cambiado nada. Es excelente y funciona perfectamente pero por el precio al menos deberían ofrecer mejoras en audio y diseño. ### 5/5 — De las Mejores *2022-03-07, version 1.6.4* App concreta y dinámica. Es una herramienta fundamental en el desarrollo auditivo. ### 5/5 — As good as I’ve found *2021-07-15, version 1.6.4* I haven’t found a better ear training app ever ### 3/5 — Good but flawed. *2020-11-18* Hi! I’m a beginner at ear training and I’m starting to get the hang of thus powerful program. But one crucial thing is missing. After you correctly guess the answer, you cannot hear the chord, interval or melody again before the app jumps instantly to play the next example. It’s crucial to hear the example WHILE knowing the correct answer. To cement your knowledge. Please fix this issue, thanks! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-06-06, version 1.6.4* I wish this technology and an app like this existed when I was is college.I might have passed ear training. Best ear training app I’ve tried.love how you can customize it to work on your weaknesses. Thanks and I recommend it to my students and fellow musicians ### 3/5 — A Bit Glitchy *2020-05-14* Inconsistent performance with headphones on iPad Pro. When practicing scales, notes will bounce between left and right ears, which is a distraction during exercises. Rebooting iPad or deleting and reloading app resolves problem for a few days. ### 5/5 — Zum Hörtraining sehr geeignet! *2020-02-24, version 1.6.4* Diese App eignet sich gut zum Hörtraining. Intervalle, Akkorde, Skalen - damit ist alles wesentliche abgedeckt. ### 4/5 — Easy-to Use Aural app *2019-09-01* Easy-to-use app for sharpening aural skills. ### 4/5 — awesome app *2019-01-03, version 1.6.4* would love more elaborate statistical breakdowns especially scores measured over time. ### 5/5 — Merveilleux ! *2018-11-29, version 1.6.4* Excellent outil pour développer son oreille qu’importe l’endroit où l’on est ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update nötig *2026-03-05, version 1.6.4* Anscheinend lassen sich unter ios 26 die Einstellungen zum Ändern der Intervalle nicht mehr öffnen. Die App stürzt dann leider sofort ab. Ansonsten wäre sie wieder 5 Sterne wert. Bitte beheben! ### 1/5 — Option menu *2024-04-29, version 1.6.4* When I open the option menu it kick me out off the app. I tried to restart my iPad and even to delete and reinstall the app but it don’t work. ### 1/5 — Please update *2023-10-29, version 1.6.4* After iOS 17 update, settings no longer works.😒 ### 1/5 — App abandonado *2023-09-07, version 1.6.4* O app está abandonado. Desinstalei. ### 1/5 — Fix Now *2015-07-11, version 1.5* I find it IMPOSSIBLE to select the correct keyboard note (even when i know the answer) because when you need to move the keyboard up or down and you try to slide the keyboard over it triggers a note, thus DESTROYING the note relationship that you have stored in your brain. ### 1/5 — Problema *2013-11-18, version 1.4* L'app si chiude quando si tenta di selezionare le scale con cui esercitarsi . ### 1/5 — Thumbs down *2013-02-02, version 1.2* Just bought it, and it's not near to what I expected when I read the description. I thought I could choose a series of notes, or chords. I'll explain more... I don't want to distinguish intervals, I need to hear the notes, not the intervals. The same with chords, there's no use of distinguishing minor chords from major, what we need is to identify the chord. Not what I needed, and the description confused me... Total rip off! ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing *2025-01-24, version 1.6.4* Every time I click the button to choose different scales or different chords the app crashes so I can only practise major and minor triads and Ionian and aeolian. I don’t know how to contact customer support. Is there a way to fix this? Also I deleted and redownloaded the app to try fix it and was charged again. ### 2/5 — Can’t change temp on iPhone *2024-03-05* I purchased this app specifically for the jazz chord ear training portion, it works on my iPad, but not on my iPhone. I can’t change how fast the notes are being played during the arpeggios and I can’t identify the chords cause they are playing so fast. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. The tempo issue has been fixed in a later update, and the chord playback settings should now work correctly on iPhone in the current version. ### 2/5 — Opening the options makes the app crash *2023-12-19, version 1.6.4* Got this app recommended from a youtube video but opening the options menu makes it chrash… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The Best Ear Training App! *2026-05-15* I’ve been using this ear training app for over a decade, and it remains one of the best investments I’ve made in my musical development. The exercises are smartly designed, highly customizable, and genuinely fun—exactly what you need to keep your ears sharp for the long haul. Whether you’re drilling intervals, chords, scales, or melodic dictation, the app delivers focused, effective practice that translates directly into better playing and deeper listening. I’ve seen steady improvement in my pitch recognition, harmonic awareness, and overall musicianship since the very first month, and it still challenges me even now. If you’re a serious musician—beginner or professional—this app is essential. It’s like having a dedicated ear coach in your pocket. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to keep their listening skills in peak condition. ### 5/5 — Great app - no nonsense ear training *2026-05-14* I’ve used this app for years and recommended it to many students as well. I’ve always loved the simple and functional design. I also recently submitted a feature request and they added it very quickly. So 5 starts to the development team as well! ### 5/5 — Must have for any serious musician *2026-04-22, version 2.0.2* This app pretty much has it all, I’m very impressed ### 5/5 — Must have for any serious musician *2025-09-29, version 1.6.4* This app pretty much has it all, I’m very impressed ### 5/5 — Classic ear training app *2025-07-12, version 1.6.4* Fantastic training app that is awesome for a professional and amateur. I’m loving that the interval training and chord training are all super customisable. If you are looking for something that can take you to the next level you can do things like get it to play you a very complex chord like dominant 7b9#11 all at once. Also it can be very simple (Maj or min triads played slowly). Great choice for every musician! ### 5/5 — Hervorragend! *2024-11-21, version 1.6.4* Eine durchdachte App, die dem hörenden Umgang mit komplexer Musik gerecht wird. Digitale Tools sollten Musizierenden nicht die Arbeit abnehmen, sondern sie in den musikalischen Grundfähigkeiten weiterbilden. Das leistet diese App. Ich nutze sie selbst intensiv und empfehle sie wärmstens meinen Schülern. ### 5/5 — Very helpful—small bug *2024-03-19* I’m finding this to be immediately helpful with my improvising (hearing what’s in my head and translating it to the piano). A small bug: in the multiple intervals section after an error, when you play the next pattern successfully it does not move on to the next pattern—you need to hit the “new melody” button. A request: I’m getting close to mastering the modules. Could you add 7ths or something to add difficulty? (Now I’m gonna check and see if it’s already there and I missed it!) **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this thoughtful feedback. I’m really glad to hear the app is already helping with your improvising and with translating what you hear in your head to the piano. Thank you also for reporting this behavior in the multiple intervals section. I’ll look into it. And yes — more advanced training options are planned. Thank you as well for the suggestion. Feedback like this is incredibly helpful. ### 5/5 — The best ear training app *2024-02-18, version 1.6.4* This app exceeds all others for ear training. The only change that’s required is an update to include a few more chords e.g. Maj13, Major 6/9#11,?Maj 13#11, Min 13 etc. ### 5/5 — Great for developing your ear *2024-01-01, version 1.6.4* This is an excellent app well constructed and easy to use. Regular use will certainly develop your aural skills ### 5/5 — good app *2023-12-30* good stuff! anyway to get a guitar fret board to input notes also? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
