very helpful

this has been very useful to me. i like that it has songs associated with the intervals to help with memorizing. thank you for making the app.

Between interval time suggestion

Hello, in test mode could you increase between interval time? It’s only 3 seconds right now, in my opinion a little too short, it doesn’t give me enough time to reflect.

ps: Thank you so much for previous changes.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review and for sharing your suggestions. We have just released an update allowing you to extend the between-interval time up to 15 seconds. Along with your idea for an unlimited time option in test mode and the ability to replay intervals, we hope this makes your experience even better.

1 suggestion

In test mode I wish there was unlimited time option and the option to click so we can hear the intrrval over and over again.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review and for sharing your suggestion. Your idea for an unlimited time option in test mode and the ability to replay intervals was really helpful, and I'm happy to let you know we've just released an update that includes these features. Thank you again for your support!

Life saver for learning intervals

It just keeps playing the intervals and then says the interval after a length of time you set. This allows you to just listen and name the interval without having to touch anything. I lay in bed, set the app to give me the answer after 5 seconds. Then I just lay there and listen to each interval, guess the name and then after five seconds the app gives me the answer and then moves to the next interval to guess automatically

Excellent - brilliant learning tool for intervals on a fretboard

Just had App 10mins but already delighted with it! I've been practicing intervals with other methods over past few months.

This App has everything needed to learn quickly : reference tunes, tells you the classic interval name plus indicates the semi-tone difference between notes. Like a training guitar and teacher in your pocket.

Well worth the £1.99!

Awesome‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Absolutely superb!

If you could only have one app you should have this one, if you are a musician. I am fairly confident that it will help improve my musical abilities tenfold. The design and execution is flawless and the detail is mind blowing for the cost. Do not hesitate.

Excellent ear/interval training

I have tried many apps and most are garbage. This app has a bit of a learning curve, but once you figure it out it is easy to use and makes learning intervals and notes easier to recognize. I highly recommend this app!

Great for guitarists

Having never done any interval training (or even having known that was a thing) this app has been a good introduction, and as it is specifically for guitarists and the display is based on a fretboard, it is easy to transfer the learning to the instrument. All the options are a bit overwhelming at first but they all seem to be useful and it's nice to have it so easily configurable.

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliantly Done

Just what I was looking for after being stuck in a rut musically on the guitar for a while. It's a real ear opener if you get my jist Well worth the money & I have just touched on what the app can do Well done 😊😊😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I am impressed

I've tried quite a few different interval training apps (5-7 by my best estimate) over the past year or so and after ten minutes with this one I'm quite impressed.

The sheer number of adjustable settings seems a bit overwhelming at first, but the in-app instructions are well-written and I was able to start testing myself almost immediately.

That said, I would not recommend this app for someone who is not familiar with the guitar fretboard or interval construction. While I think ear training is a very important part of developing musicianship, I would argue that those who are just starting to study intervals would be better suited by app that demonstrates intervals on a piano/keyboard as they are much easier to "visualize" in the more linear fashion that a keyboard provides. It's obviously possible to play linear scales on one string on the guitar, but this is not how scales are most commonly used/constructed by guitarists.

If, however, you do understand the fretboard layout and perhaps know some scale patterns already, this app will be useful to you. As a guitar player I'm particularly excited to try the alternate tuning settings, which will no doubt be challenging at first.

Anyway, if you're on the fence, spend the $3 on this app - I believe it will be a powerful asset to anyone who uses it diligently, myself included.

Awesome app!!

Does what it says and lots of options. Very useful to learn your intervals without guitar in hand. Not sure what else one can ask for. Maybe test melodies?

Non Intuitive

Difficult to understand and get up and running with straight away. There are currently better options available in the App Store.

Love it!!

I use a lot of apps to supplement my regular practice time with my guitar. This is a great addition to the collection. I've gotten pretty good at identifying intervals by ear, but this app helps me to connect those intervals directly to the guitar. There's a ton of configurable settings which makes it great for players of all levels. The only thing missing for me is multiple note melodies. It would be great if it could play 4-5 note sequences that you have to play back. :)

Great Trainer

4 stars as I have not checked out everything in the app. What I have used is excellent. Lots of setting features to tailor for your needs. Good test results. I would pay for this app.

Love this app!

I love this app. Looks beautiful, easy to use, easy to learn from, and great for ear training. One of the best. The sounds are amazing too.

GREAT LEARNING APP

I've been playing guitar most of my life and just recently began taking lessons. My instructor is focusing on intervals and hearing notes before they are played. I found this app to help me along and I will say it has advanced my interval/ear training by leaps and bounds.
My guitar playing has jumped to a different level since I started the interval/sound training. It would have taken so much longer without this app. It is a very simple app that will take your musical abilities to levels you never knew where there. Anyone wanting to go to the next step should use this app. I could see this app helping with any instrument you play.

Unbelievably responsive developer!

I ask for a unique tuning, he makes it for me overnight. Now he even has customizable position markers so now I even have my weird position markers, too. I suppose next he'll come up with a fretless option with the note circles shifted a bit up to where the frets were. (I can't bring myself to ask for that much, though.) What fantastic apps these are: Bass Sight and Guitar Intervals!

One new test option would make this fantastic

As an ear trainer, it's useful. But the one thing that would make this really useful for me is a reverse test - tell me the interval WITHOUT showing me the root, and then ask me to play the right note. When reading jazz charts, this is always the trickiest thing for me - to immediately grab the 3rd of a B chord, or the 7th of a G chord. Seems like it would be an easy add, and make the app more versatile as a drilling tool.

Outstanding

Too bad there is a maximum of 5 stars for the rating. This app is just an outstanding drill tool. If I must suggest some improvements, it would be tritone consistency: it's treated as flat 5, except it'c an F# for C. Nothing is wrong with that, but I found a great way for students to practice by calling out the notes before they play them, and up to speed this can confuse even the best of us. Maybe an option like tritones are either aug 4th or flat 5th.. Anyway, this is the best (pathetic) critique I could come up with for the app..
Just get it!
