### 4/5 — Sharp App

*2023-06-21*

Picked up the bagpipes recently and wanted to shake the rust off my sight reading. I’d have given it a 5 but I’d like the option to remove sharps and flats. Not a huge deal but with the pipes, sharps and flats are not a thing.

### 5/5 — Нравится тренироваться

*2019-09-20*

Порадовало, что midi клавиатура работает!
Спасибо, классное приложение!

### 4/5 — Very Buggy w Ads

*2019-03-14*

Nice tools but after each Quiz ads pop up and many times locks up with no way to get back to the game. Most times have to delete game from memory(swipe away) and restart it to continue using it again.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! With the latest update, all issues with navigation should be fixed. Please let me know if you find anything else: support@songtive.com 😇

### 5/5 — Just What I Need

*2019-02-26*

This app is exactly what I was looking for!!
I recently starting going to private piano lessons every week but seemed to not be very good at reading the notes straight away, so I searched for an app so I can practice before my next lesson and this is perfect. 

You can take quizzes for treble and bass cleft notes and chords etc, keep track of your high-score, how many you got correct and it has a leaderboard showing people with the highest scores. You can also take listening tests:
 My piano teacher would listen to me playing a song without looking at the keys I was playing and could even point out the notes I played wrong USING JUST HER EARS and that amazes me, so with this app maybe I could do that too.

### 5/5 — amazing tool

*2018-11-16*

Did you ever ask yourself how to learn notes best? 
This is a great way to do it. this app got multiple games in it that revolve around chords and notes. 
With the „guess notes“ game i managed to learn fast and easy, because it‘s simple and fun- and you can do it anytime you got some spare minutes.
Also the devs are really good with helping out if you got any trouble. 
5/5!

### 5/5 — Good

*2018-11-15*

Very good

### 5/5 — Great!

*2018-02-14*

Very fun to learn chords and other theory stuff but i have an issue - in the chord play mode it shows only seventh to me, no others that i'd choose. At some point it's good as make things more interesting and complicated but at the same time i can't practice (for example) diminished chords along with seventh. Hope it'll be fixed!

**Developer response:** Thanks for feedback! The issue should be fixed - if it's not, please feel free to contact us: support@songtive.com

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2023-10-06*

It makes learning music stressful, and makes kids not want to practice. I do not recommend this app.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear that you and your child are having a stressful experience with the app. Your feedback is valuable, and I'd love to understand more about specific features that are causing frustration so we can improve your experience.

### 1/5 — Cord review

*2022-08-16*

App seems to be OK however, you will be bombarded by ads and it will be it will be unbearable to use the app because of that

### 2/5 — Rip off

*2025-09-03*

I paid a lifetime membership years ago. It was very useful in college. It’s now asking me to pay again.

### 2/5 — Dead end

*2025-02-04*

If I switch to the note name instead of the piano keys there’s no way to switch back. It’s a dead end.

### 2/5 — Single Device Only

*2022-07-16*

Whilst I really like this app I was very disappointed to discover that the license only covers one device. I have licensed it on my iPad but the license doesn’t transfer to my phone. Since I cannot use both at the same time this makes no sense.

### 2/5 — Too many adds

*2022-05-02*

Couldn’t use the app for more than 30 seconds without adds interrupting. Adds were long and made it impossible to use the apps. Couldn’t see a way of paying to remove the adds. Terrible

### 2/5 — Ukulele features are broken.

*2020-06-04*

Ukulele players shouldn’t bother with this. The uke versions of everything are broken. The chord guessing game flat out doesn’t work. When you choose a correct answer, it marks you as wrong.  Other games show a six string fingerboard, despite ukulele four string being chosen in the prefs.  I guess the author gave up on this app at some point and never completed it. It is worth it’s cost, which is zero. Too bad.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! With the recent update I fixed most of the listed issues - could you please check again and contact me support@songtive.com if you have any other issues.

### 2/5 — Ok but not well designed

*2019-05-08*

First of all, some chord based questions cannot be answered since the available keyboard is too small. This means that you are stuck in the quiz. It’s also kinda frustrating that you can’t skip questions in exchange for losing points or so. At the end of a game you cannot leave to the main menu. You need to start a new game. It’s also not possible to replay a sound. This is frustrating as a beginner. At least one replay should be possible. Overall, this app is ok to recall knowledge but the exercises shouldn’t be called “games” since they are not rewarding to “play”.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! With the latest update we increased the size of the keyboard where it's possible. I'll consider a skip button for the next update.

### 3/5 — Not a learning app

*2020-11-06*

I got a lifetime subscription to this app thinking it would actually teach me how to read music and understand scales while giving me practice time to review them and view all the scales and such but this app is honestly just one big game to guess the notes without really learning. I thought it would be educational and have courses to learn things but those cost a lot more and are extra. I mean, if you already have some rudimentary skills at sight reading and such, this would help but for the basic novice like me, it just frustrates you. In addition, in the games, the next note comes so fast, you don’t really have time to process what it is and there’s no option to replay the sound in order to guess correctly. Please fix that at least.

### 3/5 — Intervals are incorrect

*2018-08-08*

The rest of the app seems to be ok so far. There is a big problem with the intervals. They are mostly incorrect. Sometimes it plays intervals that are not even an option to select. This is true for the ear training and the sight identification.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We've just released a major update which should fix that issue - we also added more awesome games for intervals and notes. Please feel free to rerate us if the issue was fixed. Each vote is very important for us! :)

### 5/5 — ChordIQ

*2026-07-30*

I have problem when it comes to reading written music. I think ChordIQ is helping me overcome the anxiety and I am beginning to understand the names of the lines and spaces of the stave. With more practice I think I will be able to get better at reading.  Thank you team ChordIQ!

### 5/5 — Best app like this

*2022-07-31*

### 5/5 — Crashes on open

*2020-07-19*

Hi guys the app crashes on open unfortunately. Just wanted to let you know.

### 5/5 — A fun and challenging way to improve your sight reading skills

*2020-03-27*

I've been using this app every day and am seeing a drastic improvement to my sight reading skills.  This app is an excellent supplement to your daily practice routine.  I especially enjoy competing with others for the most correct notes in a row.  Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — 翻訳ミス？

*2019-11-02*

高温じゃなくて高音ですよ
