StaffWars is a good note reading exercise.

Witzig, wenn es funktioniert

Leider verändert sich das Tempo nicht mehr. Also die Töne kommen alle langsam rein. Der Anreiz fehlt, da es nun zu leicht ist. Wenn es wieder funktioniert gibt es fünf Sterne.

This app is a scam

This app is not worth a penny it takes so long to recognize a note. The game is very boring and only held my son's attention for five minutes. He did not learn anything. It's a fine tool if it was free, but since it was three dollars, I would not purchase this game.
