Great app for ear training

I am using this app for some time and it’s addictive. You can practice on different scales and lots of options to choose.

Good app but stupid message

Could you stop or gave an option to stop thé congratulations messages, please.

Set "Feedback" to "Wrong" if you only want messages for incorrect melodies. Set "Feedback" to "Never" to stop all messages :) You'll only see congratulations messages when "Feedback" is set to "Always". Thanks for the review!

Fun

:) I agree!

Bonne appli

Très bonne appli. Il faudrait la faire évoluer de telle manière à ce que les exercices soient de difficulté progressive. Au début avec des intervalles contigus puis progressivement avec de grands intervalles.
Il faudrait aussi proposer des accords pour reconnaître des couleurs de son.
Enfin, la même chose pour le manche de la guitare serait très intéressant.
Voilà pour les développeurs.

Merci beaucoup! Pardonnez-moi, je ne parle pas français ... I recommend using the + and - keyboard range control to set the keyboard to a small range such as "C, D" or "C, D, E" if you're a beginner. You can make the range larger if it's too easy for you – all the way up to 12 notes in a major scale (ex. "C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G"). Everyone learns differently, so I've decided to let the users choose how difficult they want the exercises to be. Some people would rather change the scale before changing the keyboard range. Your suggestion for the guitar neck is interesting – personally I've been playing guitar longer than I've been playing piano :) However, touch screens are better suited for a piano interface, and MIDI keyboards make it possible to play this app with a physical keyboard.

Very good app

App is very well done and levels of difficulty make it easy to progress

Simplest and Most Fun

I never write reviews but this app has been a lot of fun and is a pleasure to use. When they say "highly addictive piano game" they mean it, so watch out. I didn't believe them at first, and then my afternoon disappeared.

Wow, thanks so much for the compliment! It's true, I call it a "highly addictive piano game" because I found myself becoming addicted to playing :) Especially when I set "Feedback" to "Never" and turn on "Autoplay".

Decent program, but missing features.

This is an OK program to practice note recognition. Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to reset progress.

Ideally, the app also needs to keep track of the questions that are missed and then give those questions again and frequently to reduce the amount of wasted time and improve note memory.

Tap the score to reset it at any time :) Thanks for the suggestion about tracking progress, but I disagree about "wasted time" – I see all your time practicing as "time well spent". The app gives random questions because in real life you never know what someone will play next.

Progressif et efficace

De larges possibilités d'adapter les exercices.
Permet de former son oreille et de progresser.

Merci beaucoup!

Great Ap!

With great elegance and configurability, the app is a nice tool for learning to hear notes better. I love how this app can serve me as a beginner and with the right settings can challenge or stump my wife, who has a much more developed ear.

I'll be recommending this app to kids and adults. One small tip: on the screen after submitting be your answer, show both my answer AND the corrected answer, so I can mess around more and try to hear the difference between my answer and the truth.

Thanks for the flattering review :) I'll consider your suggestion for the next app update. I want the feedback message to be simple, but it might be cool to hear both your answer and the correct answer as part of the feedback message.

5 stars

Awesome app i love it!

Thanks!

An amazing ear training tool.

I like how simple and effective it is. It just gives random notes instead of designated ones, you can do this every single day and never get tired of it. Wish they can do a chord version.

Good to hear that you like it! Simplicity is very important to me. I might consider creating a chord ear training app someday... but first I have other apps to build :)

YEEEEAHH!!

It's back and it's better than ever. So happy! Thank you!

Right on! You're very welcome :)

Well done !

J'utilise cet app régulièrement, et elle m'aide bien à faire progresser mon oreille musicale. Les options sont judicieuses, le tout est plutôt bien pensé. Et gratuit !
La version mise à jour début 2015 - après une période de blocage de l'app dû à la màj de IOS - est un réel progrès, avec plus de souplesse et de possibilités. N'hésitez pas!

Escroquerie !

L'application se fige dès le premier exercice. Pas de réponse du développeur après l'avoir pourtant contacté via son site ce qui classe cette application dans le groupe des escroqueries à signaler !

Who's writing these reviews?

Well, this guy must have friends writing reviews.
No options for speed. No options for modes or minor scales. No ability to correct entries. Only 1 octave. No option for entering answer without sound. No option to replay exercise to analyze weak spots. Max length of "melody" is 5 notes. Always fun to see how many will be exactly the SAME note. Irritating "feedback" option. "Do Re Mi" has many of these options... how is this competitive? Yeah, it's 2 dollars less, but it's 3 dollars more pointless. And how could it come from a Berklee student? Please.
A waste of time for a free app. And it isn't free.

No, my friends did not write the reviews. Since you've written this review I've added a setting for speed (tempo), the app now includes 13 major scales, the range can be expanded up to 12 notes in a major scale (approximately 1.5 octaves) and the max melody length is now 6 notes. If you're tired of hearing the same note, you can turn off "Allow Unison". If you find the feedback annoying, you can set "Feedback" to "Never" which will stop showing all feedback messages. Alternatively you can set "Feedback" to "Wrong" if you only want to see feedback messages for incorrect melodies. Thanks for the review.
