### 1/5 — The music on the first quiz gave me a headache

*2019-10-19, version 1.2*

It was okay jazz to begin with but then trumpet sounds were colliding and their tempo was getting rushed.

### 3/5 — Stuck on 3rd triad quiz

*2019-01-19, version 1.0*

The third triad training quiz says I am wrong even when I put in the same answer they put. 

They also don’t explain the questions on the earlier stuff, as referenced in the other review. I did figure out that cs, ds, and wt stood for chromatic second, diatonic second, and whole tone. Some other section took some figuring out, such as the second triad quiz. It was asking for the key in the first part, not the name of the chord shown.

### 3/5 — Confused...

*2018-08-02, version 1.0*

At first, I liked it. The note recognition part was perfectly good. Then I clicked on the tones and intervals part. There was zero explanation for what CS, DS, and WT are. The app isn’t talking  about dal segno either... I tried looking it up, but I still have absolutely no idea what they mean. Is it something to do with modes? Not sure if I’ll ever know 😂 If you’re gonna use abbreviations, you need to explain what they mean because it’s not common knowledge. The annoying part is, you can’t use the other sections (key signatures, triads, rhythm, etc) until you pass this section...
