### 4/5 — Love the encouraging music when you get it right!

*2022-06-07*

Fun to play. Good level of repetition

### 1/5 — Want this to work but program won’t open up-has never worked

*2020-05-13*

Want this to work but have never gotten it to open up

**Developer response:** I have just released a new version (1.8.2). I recently found a bug that caused the app to fail to open. It was caused by a conflict with 3rd party midi enabled apps that didn't provide a manufacturer property. Try the new version. It should work now.

### 3/5 — Hilfreiche, aber sehr einfach gehaltene App

*2020-03-28*

Habe mir die App geladen, da es auf dem Cello jetzt in die höheren Lagen geht. Es ist eine sehr schlicht gehaltene App ohne Variationsmöglichkeiten, die ihren Zweck erfüllt. Man spielt auf Zeit ( etwa 35 Sekunden). Danach werden die richtigen gegen die Fehler aufgerechnet. Das Ergebnis erscheint in einer Liste, auch wer und wann auf welchem Level geübt hat.

Vorteil: man lernt bei regelmäßiger Benutzung der App die Lage der Töne innerhalb der Notenlinien relativ schnell zu benennen. Dabei startet man von der mittleren Linie aus mit den beiden Nachbartönen (Level 1). Dann weitet man den Tonraum nach und nach aus, zunächst noch ohne Hilfslinien (bis zum Level 4), anschließend auch noch mit Hilfslinien (bis zum letzten Level 6) . 

Verbesserung: wird ein Fehler gemacht, erscheint sofort die neue Note ohne Korrektur ( wäre hilfreich für den Übeeffekt). Hat man sich vertan, neigt man dazu sich zu verbessern und tippt auf die richtige Note. Da aber die Aufgabe schon wieder eine andere ist, handelt man sich den nächsten Fehler ein. 
Gerade am Anfang, wenn man noch mehr Zeit braucht, wäre eine Einstellung des Zeitfensters sinnvoll. Auch gibt es keine Auswertung, welche Noten man noch sehr oft falsch benennt, und vielleicht diese häufiger angezeigt bekommt .

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2018-07-02*

Please fix this, I loved it until I couldn’t open it anymore. I’ve deleted and re downloaded it several times to no avail.

**Developer response:** I was unable to duplicate the cause of your crash until just recently. I found a bug that cause the app to fail to open if there was a 3rd party midi enabled app that didn't provide a manufacturer property. That has been fixed with the new version.

### 2/5 — Not worth it

*2016-01-09*

For a $2 app, really should have some more variety in the exercises. There are web sites with free versions of similar learning tools that are just as good. At the very least, the other chefs should be included.
