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.

Hi

This game is very fun and I recommend using this website
For children because it helps them memorize all of their notes and how much they read

Underwhelming

Horrible, works terribly, I thought I could get better disappointed at how low quality it is. The setting stopped working. Please fix it. I am currently deleting this app.

Tiny bug…hopefully

When playing bells, the note Bb registers as A# and will not be accepted as the “correct” answer (even though they are enharmonic and SHOULD be accepted as the correct answer.)
