Get it and spread the word. From: Marcin (the developer) >>> Hi everyone. The new iOS 11 is coming soon but sadly Right Note is beyond updating to run on it :( The good news is that for the last months of its life I decided to give it out free :) It's an educational app and a lot of musicians found it very helpful so it's best for as much people to have a go with it instead of just "killing" it. If you will want to use it after the release of iOS 11 you have to save some device with an older iOS. And if you like the app and would have gladly bought it for the full price but cant (as it's free) you can check out my other apps: "Tangled FX" photo effect and "BaM Video Delay" sports app. Thanks to all of you and have fun with Right Note. >>> ON-OFF switch not working ? There is a small compatibility glitch with iOS 10 but there is a workaround: - first TAP the switch to the state you want - then DRAG the switch by the knob to the opposite state Although the second step is counterintuitive this makes the TAP to get through the iOS to the app. [Old description] @ Try out new "Intervals in Context" @ Now with microphone recognition - play with your instrument @ Right Note - An ear training app for learning Interval, Pitch and Melody recognition REVIEW BY Lhp1: @@@@@ The best ear training app so far I used to say that I would never spend more than 10 bucks with an app, but after trying the lite version I had to get this one.

A lot of them thanks user feedback through the support mail :) Right Note is getting a bit complicated and not every option can be explained just with a short name. That's why now you have a "Help & Tips" for each of them. Just press the name or "?" icon next to it. + 180 spin Now Right Note works in both landscape positions. Sorry for overlooking it, especially for the iPad. Thanks Birgit and Scott for pointing out that it didn't work well combined with a smart cover that can be attached only from one side. ### 1.4 — 2012-05-13 + New graphics Time finally came for a face lift of all the UI. Now with a nice wooden finish. Hope you like it :) + iPad support Not your average x2 mode. Right Note now is universal and has native support for iPad. Even comes with retina display for all iPad 3 users. + Microphone octave equivalence New option for intervals and melody mode. Turn this on if you just want to play the right note but don't care about in which octave it should be. This is good news for anybody playing instruments that have their note range higher or lower than a piano. Big thanks to Vance for suggesting this new feature. + Some bug fixes Thanks Jiten for finding the screeching bug in Intervals in Context. ### 1.3.1 — 2011-11-05 1.3.1 + iOS 5 support fix Thanks to Enrique for pointing it out. Again, we listen to the feedback sent to us. Feel free to use the Help & Support button :) 1.3 + New mode - Intervals in context Mastered all your intervals, up and down, but still can't hear them in a melody? Here's a new mode to help you make that in-between step. You can choose to have a random note before and/or after the interval you are guessing. Now you have to really "feel" an interval. + Small fixes If you experienced occasional hiccups when playing sound, it's gone. If you didn't then every thing is still OK :). Also some issues with low memory were handled so no more disappearing keyboard. If you are enjoying Right Note and the new updates please be sure to rate or write a review on App Store. Thank you everybody for the support.

Now you can use your own instrument to play the answer in each mode. This greatly enhances learning how to play by ear. Try it out and let us know what you think about sending an email through "Help & Support". The microphone was tested on pianos, guitars, harmonica, flute, tuba and even on an accordion :) The full range of each instrument is recognized. In case the the microphone does not recognize the notes properly please look in the "Help & Support"->"Microphone tips". + Play errors on Pitch: You can turn off playing wrong answers while in Pitch Mode. Now you have to rely on your absolute pitch recognition all the way. + Use speaker with plugged mic: If you plug in a microphone or headset you can still use the device speaker for playback, just turn on this option. This is good news especially if you are a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod user as you have to plug in some kind of microphone. + Music notation: Now you can change the octave of the notes. Select if A = 440Hz should be noted A3, A4 or A5. Also if you felt left out now there is also the European note names (B is H) ## Apps similar to Right Note | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Chaos Audio](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/chaos-audio/id1522790206) | 4.6 (26) | Free | Music | | [Piano Keyboard - Typing Music](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/piano-keyboard-typing-music/id939098818) | 4.3 (277) | Free | Music | | [RRS Ivoks](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/rrs-ivoks/id6443504248) | 4.4 (45) | Free | Music | | [Syntorial](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/syntorial/id956861240) | 4.9 (273) | Free | Music | | [iSequence HD](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/isequence-hd/id369873168) | 4.2 (33) | Free | Music | | [Piano Keys](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/piano-keys/id480668364) | 3.7 (3) | Free | Music | ## More apps by Orange Qube - [BaM Video Delay](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bam-video-delay/id517673842) - [Tangled FX](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tangled-fx/id588126769) All apps by Orange Qube: https://appshunter.io/developer/427276225 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
