Good app BUT Random Key mode is wrong
Seems like a great way to learn as long as you don’t have it set to random key. I thought I was losing my mind. For single notes I have intervals down cold so I was like “oh let’s try to make this more difficult and do two notes and uhh what the heck let’s make it change the key every time to really test myself.” Tried it out and was like “man this is way harder than I thought!” Turns out I just had “random key” on in settings and so even if I was right I’d get it marked wrong by the app. Noticed this when I went back to single notes and did the replay function was like “uhh that is not correct” and checked it against my instrument.
That said I have a friend who’s unreal and said he used this app. Hopefully this issue is fixed. Until then I’ll keep manually specifying the key because it feels like a great tool.

Replay bug
When Random Key is selected, replay plays a different cadence…
Problem with replay
Replay plays a different cadence than the initial one, which is doesn’t help at all to find the note to be identified
Great app until they removed tempo slider
The app is a great tool once you learn how to use it. Only issue is updating to latest version removes the tempo slider - the default tempo is so slow on playback it takes forever to get 20 in a row even when you answer instantly. PLEASE BRING BACK TEMPO SLIDER.
By “learn to use” I mean how you progress through the app when you’re a beginner like I was to make quick progress. I’m 3 years into using it.
Starting with no trainer mode, single key, single octave, diatonic, and then move through keys one by one until you master them. Then set it to auto move through keys randomly on each play. Then do chromatic in a single key and repeat process. While doing chromatic, occasionally go back to diatonic but increase number of notes to 2 then 3 to increase difficulty.

Damn Ugly
Looks pretty awful but is actually extremely useful for ear training. A tip for beginners is to turn off the coach and set it to the key of C to get you started then when you feel comfortable start increasing the note count. Happy training!
