I’ve never written a review but had to because I love this game so much. Please make an RPG ear training game! Would pay for this! ### 5/5 — No sound *2024-12-26* Most recent update seems to have broken the sound, which is a shame; the game has a fantastic OST and is my favorite ear trainer. Will update rating when fixed ### 5/5 — Great way to learn intervals *2024-12-13* Started playing it, seems like it’ll make learning intervals fun. ### 5/5 — Great for Refining and Reinforcing *2024-02-05* I like the game. With it, I practice intervals longer than I do in other apps. I think it works better as a tool to reinforce and refine your ability to identify intervals than as a tool to learn them from scratch. To learn from scratch it’s best to be able to take all the time you need to sing each tone and then if you still need help, to walk up or down a scale from one given tone to the other until either you land on it or you hear that it’s a half-step off the scale, or to leap from one given tone up a familiar interval then hear the small adjustment from there to the other tone, or to resolve the second tone to a nearby familiar tone. This game doesn’t give you much time to do that, so you occasionally guess wrong, and there’s nothing learned from a wrong guess. However, it’s a great tool to reinforce and refine your knowledge that you learned elsewhere. For example, if you’re always needing to sing each tone before identifying the interval, this game will kick you in the butt to get you away from that and toward trusting your initial judgment of the quality of the interval. That’s an important step! It’s also a good test of where you are with certain intervals. The player statistics and AI coach are useful. ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-02-02* Very fun and intuitive game ### 5/5 — Review *2021-02-01* This app is so cool! At first I was confused which sounds you were supposed to listen to in game, so maybe playing a chord with just the sound your supposed to listen to without the background music at the start of a round would help. All in all great game and keep up the great work! **Developer response:** Thank you! The positive feedback is very motivating! Sorry for the confusion, working on making everything clearer, seamless and adding more enemies/ships/goodies. ### 5/5 — Great game and entertaining way to do ear training *2021-01-31* Great visuals, soundtrack is banging, and the gameplay is fun. **Developer response:** Thank you Andre, will do my best to keep the soundtrack on point!! - Aleks ### 5/5 — Ears are improving - good job! *2020-10-03* Bit sceptical at first but this app is having a positive impact. Worth investigating. ### 5/5 — So addictive! *2020-09-27* Excited to see how this game will enhance my interval/ear training. The best thing about this app is that it doesn't feel like training at all. It’s a fun way to pass time and work on your skills simultaneously. Bonus; some of the tracks in the background are really nice too. **Developer response:** Thank you AphrOphilia! ## Frequently asked questions about SpaceEars ### What is SpaceEars?
