Works great! Sound can be a problem but easy fix

It works great and perfectly fulfills my needs. I was having a problem with sound, but it was because my phone was on silent mode. If you turn silent mode off it should work

App doesn’t work!

No sound coming out

Just installed - no sound coming out

Just installed - no sound coming out - help link is broken - anyone home?

Ok for major keys…

Nice idea for practising solfa, but when in a minor key the home note is LA, not DO.

Take care when using ‘Key’ in the ‘Settings’

Easy to use, navigate and customise.
Selecting a ‘Major’ or ‘Minor’ key does not mean that the correct set of syllables will be used. For example, it is possible to select both ‘Major’ and ‘Me’, but ‘Me’ is not part of a major scale. You need to manually select the correct syllables for a Major scale and for the different types of Minor scales. For example, Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti for a major scale. For minor scales, select ‘Me’ (not ‘Mi’) and perhaps also ‘Le’ and ‘Te’. This depends on the type of minor scale and also on whether the training for minor is ‘La-based’ or ‘Do-based’ (not revealed in the app).
Staves are not provided. This means that you can hear the tones, but not see them in notation.
There is only one instrument sound: piano.

One if the best ear trainer apps out there

If you know Charlie Banacos’ method for ear training this is perfect except for the fact that you can’t answer multiple notes without the octave order. It would be great to have it as an option to practice with the note colors rather than the voicing structure.

Sound

I am having issues hearing the sound as well, but if you connect your headphones you will be able to hear it. Not ideal, but a work around.

Best app for ear training!

This app assumes a bit of knowledge of theory. But nothing that couldn’t be learned in an hour or two on YouTube. It’s not asking you to name intervals after randomly playing a single note. It establishes a key center and works within it since that’s how you encounter music in actual practice. You can tweak the exercises quite a bit. You can stay in one key for a week or have it change every exercise. You can work on hearing stacked notes or melodic lines. A lot of the ear training apps seem like they weren’t made by people who know much about music. More like programmers who read up on ear training. If you want to train your ears then get this app.

Can’t hear anything

The idea is great, but simply not working
Can’t hear anything

Also no sound.

I have no sound on my iPhone from this app. What’s the deal? Why would I consider paying for the upgrade when the simple version won’t work. Seems like it could be a great app otherwise.

No sound

Not very helpful if you can’t hear anything

Can’t hear it

I was so excited about this app because of the great reviews, but for some reason the sounds won’t come through on my phone. I have tried restarting and playing with the volume. I’m not sure if I’m the only one experiencing this! I will keep the app in hopes that it gets fixed. I will revisit this rating when I can use the app.

Sound trouble

Like another recent user I am having trouble using the app. I have an iPhone 6 with the latest iOS and the app isn’t playing anything. The sound isn’t working.

Good app

some improvements would be fine

There was no sound

I am using iPhone 7Plus with the latest iOS version. The software doesn't have sound at all. Please fix.

Simple, works.

It's simple and it works. Just get it.

I can feel my ears getting smarter

In a short time I went from no clue to multiple notes from the full diatonic scale: feels like magic!

Just what I was looking for!

Just what I was looking for! I practice my movable do solfege ear training every day now.

Great way to Train your ears for singing!

This is a great app! It gives you lots of practice to train your ears to identify scale tones. Very flexible and a bit addictive! Really glad I found it.
