### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-31*

Great ear training app, beginner to advanced training.  I especially like the hands free mode so I can use it in the car.

### 1/5 — Battery drainer

*2024-11-28*

That should be the name of this app "Battery Drainer". If you forget to delete it from memory every single time you use it, it will run in the background and drain your battery. Fast. There is no option to turn this background activity off. It's a shame cause it's quite a decent ear training app.

**Developer response:** There is no evidence of this happening for other users and I cannot replicate this issue myself. There should be no way for this app to drain battery in the background. 

If you’re having an issue, please get in touch at info@harmonomicsapp.com so we can try to resolve it. I have no way to contact you directly from a review.

### 5/5 — Amazing.

*2021-01-14*

I’ve spent years not actively doing any ear training and not thinking it even necessary as a musician. This app has shown me the depths of my ignorance. It has exercises for beginners to experts and in between and is feature rich so you won’t ever get lost in theory. After using this app for a month, I have progressed in my practice and my recognition of sounds, intervals, chords and progressions has matured. Like anything, ear training takes practice. But I wouldn’t want to practice any other way.

### 4/5 — Awesome (the best I’ve tried) but...

*2021-01-02*

It would be perfect if there was an enharmonics enabling feature for display and answers.  Then I would give it 5 stars. Thanks!

**Developer response:** Hi! That’s definitely a feature I’d be open to exploring, but I’m not sure I understand exactly what you mean. Can you email me at info@harmonomicsapp.com?

### 5/5 — A tuner ... for your self!!

*2020-03-03*

As a player that has a decent to above average ear-  using relative pitch (... my own self appraisal based on considerably accurate transcriptions I’ve done of works or solos from instruments that are both my own and other instruments ; real-time response to harmonic or melodic stimuli within live  improvised playing situations ), I find this app really challenging and fun. You can chart your progress and see your challenges. For example : it is interesting to see that i consistently has problems correctly identifying perfect fourths or fifths - as I would get confused of the vantage point and incorrectly identify one for the other and the inverse - a problem of perspective. 
The categories of exercises cover a wide array of ways to qualify one’s  current aptitude and offer alternative approaches for assessing material with a healthy range of criteria across the intervallic ; melodic and harmonic spectrum. I found this app at a great time in my musical development and I find anytime spent using it to be of value and generative. It can be a little stressful to know a timer is ticking as you hesitate to produce an answer ; along with being a little bummed when you see your score ( if it’s less than what you’d like it to be), but it is an honest and somewhat objective proof of where your ear is at for the moment. There is a self imposed emphasis I’ve placed on have deep stuff to play or say musically ( and I’m sure that will continue )... but all that pursuit only stands to benefit from returning to something fundamental and crystallize a further attenuation with arguably the most basic aspect : how I listen.

### 5/5 — So easy

*2020-01-09*

Really, really useful app. I saw improvement right away.

**Developer response:** Glad you’re enjoying it!

### 4/5 — Fantastic, but other keys please!

*2019-10-14*

Great app, but some of the functions (diatonic major melody, for instance) are only available in C major. When doing these sort of exercises, I like to imagine myself playing along on my instrument. It’d be great to have other keys to practice in.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback.  New version coming soon and it has that option included!

### 1/5 — Pas de son !!!

*2019-03-21*

Ce qui n’est juste pas possible pour ce genre d’appli. Obligée d’éteindre et rallumer mon tel pour que ça fonctionne. Malheureusement ça n’a pas duré et je n’ai déjà plus de son.

**Developer response:** I'd love to try to help you with this issue, but unless you email me (info@harmonomicsapp.com) I have to way to work with you to diagnose the issue.  Get in touch and I will try to help.

### 5/5 — Absolutely brilliant

*2018-11-16*

I’ve only been working with this for a day and can already report that, while there are some other helpful ear-training apps...and I have tried many  this is hands-down the best one! The thoughtfulness, planning, organization, and intuitiveness that went into this is hugely impressive. It’s a serious app- not a toy. It literally can be used to train and help the very beginner to the experienced professional. Bravo!

The fact that the exercises are open -ended is great... meaning you simply end a session when you want rather than having the app choose a predetermined number of questions. You will need no other ear training apps. Just get this one if you are lucky enough to stumble on it. 

My only complaint.. which isn’t really a complaint against the app itself is that for me it didn’t come up high enough when I did a simple search for “ear training” apps.. then I found it briefly and then accidentally closed out then searched through dozens of (far weaker) ear-training apps.. hoping it would appear on the “you may also like” lists. Thankfully I found it again after 20-39 min but this should be the first option to appear! Get it !!
