Motif - Smart Fingering Flashcards

Practice your notes in tune with real-time feedback from your phone's microphone. No extra equipment needed — just your instrument.

Motif listens as you play, gives instant feedback on pitch and timing, and uses spaced repetition to focus your practice on the notes you actually need to work on.

Features
Guided practice with hands-free, adaptive flashcards. Built-in tuner with real-time intonation feedback. Interactive fingering charts for all supported instruments. Sight-reading practice. Test mode to check your progress. Customize by key signature and octave range. Spaced repetition algorithm that tracks what you know and drills what you don't.

Who it's for
Beginner and intermediate students looking to build note accuracy, learn fingerings, practice sight-reading, or improve intonation.

### 3/5 — Good and could be even better

*2022-01-30*

Is there anyway to speed up the practice flow? For example the “Success!” Screen is completely unnecessary because if the tool allows you to move to the next note, success would be implied. I would prefer to move through the notes at a quicker pace, and it would even be cool to set the pace to a specific bpm!

I’m hopeful that you all are still developing this app. I’m liking it so far and hoping it gets even better.

### 5/5 — Great music app to keep!

*2021-04-13*

As a general music teacher this is a great tool to keep..to be able the check notes that my students don’t remember from the most common instruments with lower to higher notes is awesome.The way is lay out is super easy to understand. Thanks for your help creating this awesome tool.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review Jose! We really appreciate it! It's always great to hear how our users are enjoying the app and what aspects are helpful. Feel free to share it with your students too! We worked on making a progressive practice using AI that listens to them and gives them feedback, and adapts  their practice to help them memorize the fingerings. It's great to hear that it helps music teachers too :) High five!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-04-05*

As a band director,I really appreciate this app.being a low brass player, I tested it out on flute and trumpet and I am impressed with the guided and customized practice. I like how it introduces the first couple of notes,reviews them then adds a new note as you are going through the fingerings. I also like how you can practice a specific fingering to your note if you want. 

My only suggestion would be that I would like to have the low brass instruments on here such as trombone, baritone and tuba. Adding recorder would also make this app better. I would be able to offer it to my recorder students as a way to practice.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are happy that you found our app helpful for your students. We love to help students and make their practice more efficient. Thank you for your feedback too! We will plan to add these instruments as we go along, and we will make adding Recorder our next priority, so keep a look out for that in the coming months. Thank you!

### 1/5 — LJ

*2021-04-01*

UPDATE: Still trapped by log in window. Dialog says you will send login link. Never got it. Should not have to log in to use your app. Still can’t try it out. Still cannot recommend the app.                                                         Earlier review: Investigating this for students. You have to pay. What... trapped by pay window or trapped by “continue with email, Facebook, Google, Apple” buttons. Can’t see or use anything. Safe to say it will be a no for this one.

**Developer response:** Hi, we have updated our app, thank you for your feedback. We have removed the login in feature, if you wish to check out the app, you can do it without login in so you can check out the app. Make sure to give app microphone access as it needs it to give you feedback on the intonation and create a study plan. Thank you so much for caring for students, we hope they can find this helpful. Cheers!

### 1/5 — Not the approach I need

*2020-08-12*

It’s just not the approach I was looking for. I hate being forced to give it a rating and skew your average, but it’s  it useful for my purposes. Please refund and cancel subscription. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Hi! We spoke over email and you said you loved the app and this was a mistake for another app perhaps? You said you even got it on both your phones and we are so happy about that, if you wouldn't mind updating your review so other players can have a better idea about the experience we'd greatly appreciate it, thank you so much :)

### 1/5 — Nice Theory - Doesn’t “hear” my flute

*2020-04-01*

I down loaded this to assist with flute lessons. I cannot figure out how to make it “hear” when I play a note. There is no setting option in the app except to change instrument. I tried the test option and was prompted for payment. I tried the support link in the app store and was routed to a web site with an inactive link to Contact Us.  The web site only prompts to buy their other app. I checked my iPad settings and the app does have permission to use the microphone. What else can I do?

**Developer response:** Very sorry about this! Please contact us at contact@aleatoric.io
