### 3/5 — With more work this app will be a must for the classroom!

*2020-05-14, version 2.4.39*

We used the full subscription version with all our lower school students last year. Great concept but there are some serious issues with glitches throughout different games. I would love to see them devout more time to managing and fixing these issues so we can confidently give tasks to our students without glitches. 
I would definitely renew the subscription for our school if they can fix these bugs.
Lastly, the user interface could do with a revamp, as it looks dated.
Keep up the good work, I really want this app to succeed so please address these concerns!

### 3/5 — App Stuck

*2020-02-17, version 2.4.39*

When I resume the first scales course I just get a blank screen and nothing loads. Can’t progress.

### 3/5 — Great Idea!!

*2019-10-29, version 2.4.35*

The idea behind the app is excellent!! The games are a fun and effective way of truly training your ear. The only down fall of the app is all of the crashes!! Please CrowdFund this app, gain investors, do something so you’ll be able to make the app better and even your website!!

### 4/5 — Great, but can’t d landscape orientation

*2018-12-16, version 2.4.30*

This app is amazing and forms a part of my routine ear training.  HOWEVER, it would be even better if the app could be used in Landscape orientation.  Please incorporate this feature.

### 4/5 — Почти идеально

*2017-12-27, version 2.4.24*

Я скажу о том, чего не хватает: русского языка (как написано в описании), хорошего и современного дизайна, каких-то обновлений возможно. Более подробного ведения учащегося тоже не хватает. Приложение зависает и не отображается теоретический материал. Очень хочется режима офф-лайн. Есть хорошие примеры других современных приложений. Но это в своём роде - великолепное приложение!!! Оно отбивает все 4 звезды из 5! И цену можно бы сделать пониже, это в интересах разработчиков было бы. Купил бы такое приложение за разовую стоимость, ну или абонемент можно дешевле сделать. Если есть возможность потерпеть всё перечисленное - очень советую.

### 3/5 — Good app but too expensive

*2017-04-25, version 2.4.18*

A good app, but it cost $50 to unlock higher levels.  That is way too much.  To make it worse, that $50 only gives one year of access.

### 4/5 — Huge scope

*2016-10-02, version 2.4.0*

I am using the free version at the moment but am already pleased by the wide range of lessons. I can see music training becoming a daily habit very quickly after I purchase the full version.

It would be helpful to have landscape as well as portrait views.

### 4/5 — Very good!

*2016-07-02, version 2.3.1*

I love the app, but I would like to have more exercises for voice pitch.. There're many games like Simon, etc. Maybe you could do that?

### 4/5 — Wonderful, if a bit underdeveloped

*2016-06-11, version 2.2.0*

This is an invaluable resource to any musician. 4 stars because the app needs a bit of refinement, but this set of exercises is unique and effective.

### 3/5 — Freezing app

*2015-04-29, version 1.7*

This would be a very cool and helpful app if it didn't keep freezing all the time. I'm constantly having to reset it. Otherwise, it's brilliant. Fix the bugs!

### 4/5 — Great ear training, crashes often

*2015-04-26, version 1.7*

I would give this 5 stars except for the frequent crashes. Otherwise amazingly wide range of ear training games! Please fix the crashes though. :)

### 3/5 — Crashes, please fix it soon!!

*2014-09-11, version 1.2.1*

One tool within the app, Dango Brothers, will run a few times then it crashes. I’m running it on an iPad Air. This and several of the other included tools are excellent and definitely worth using. It is annoying that it crashes and has to be restarted constantly. I have reservations about recommending the app in it’s present condition, and really wish the developers would fix it.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Cannot use it

*2024-04-12, version 3.0.9*

When I try to create an account, I am greeted with a message stating that email is already in use. There is no saved password for this in my iCloud. There is no provision to reset the password or contact anyone for help. I have never received any emails related to this app so I don’t understand what is happening! There is literally no available way to fix the issue! This app is useless to me if I cannot use my email.

### 1/5 — It’s ok but the games are too hard

*2020-07-26, version 2.4.39*

This app does help sharpen your musical ear but the games are too hard. I can’t get past pitch compare level 19 or tonic finder level 11. Not worth the money.

### 1/5 — Can’t unlock full access

*2019-09-24, version 2.4.35*

Can’t get access to the full version of the app, it wont let me sign up for membership lol... the free levels aren’t enough

### 1/5 — Trash

*2019-03-28, version 2.4.33*

This app is bot level bad 
It is horrible don’t download it it is not worth it
If you want to shot it multiple times then go ahead and download it do it you won’t 
Or else

### 1/5 — Way too expensive for a limited use

*2017-11-18, version 2.4.24*

Iv paid for the app before but the sudden skyrocketed price is seriously unreasonable. Tenuto is a much better alternative considering how overpriced this is.

### 1/5 — New version is dead

*2014-08-22, version 1.2*

Updated version just sits there and doesn't run.  Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2014-07-02, version 1.0*

I signed in and clicked on assignments and the screen just went grey. Consequently I can't do my homework and the app is useless. I'll give one star and reevaluate this review at such a time that the issue is fixed.

### 2/5 — Not working

*2016-09-28, version 2.4.0*

Keeps telling me there is no internet connection, but every other app that requires Internet connection is currently functioning properly.

### 2/5 — How do I switch to guitar?

*2016-06-22, version 2.3.1*

I'm trying to ear train on guitar, which some of the games say is an option (e.g. Parrot phrases), but there doesn't appear to be any way to do so.

### 3/5 — Could be the best ear trainer available but needs an update

*2025-10-29, version 3.0.11*

The range of games you can play are the best around but it’s not been developed for a long time. It doesn’t track your progress so each time you go to a game you have to remember which level you did last. The sounds are also quite low quality which makes it harder to differentiate between tones.

### 5/5 — Best Music Training App

*2022-04-12, version 2.4.45*

Hands down the best app for training. The games are like video games for music theory.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-11-12, version 2.4.45*

Great way to practice your ear 
Not only for beginners which is a great plus !!
Web site works like a charm very curious to try the apps !! 

Having option to buy the software instead to pay per month would be great ! Kind of tired of pay per month business model -_-

### 5/5 — Проблемы с платным доступом

*2020-05-31, version 2.4.39*

Пользовался приложением несколько лет назад, все очень нравилось. Решил возобновить подписку. В итоге деньги списали с карты, а доступ по прежнему только к первым трём уровням в каждой игре. Написал в поддержку-ответа нет. Очень жаль, потому что из всех приложений для развития музыкального слуха, которые я использовал, это было самым интересным и полезным.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2017-11-12, version 2.4.24*

This app is amazing. Not see why it’s not more popular or heavily reviewed, but it’s a great free way to practice your ear training in a fun way.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2017-11-02, version 2.4.24*

If you’re a music teacher, be it private or public, you can also setup a ‘class’ on their website that your students can log into so you can observe their progress outside of lessons. :) The visuals should help with keeping the attention of younger students well, too! It won’t teach the fundamentals of part-writing, no- but nonetheless there is a LOT of material that this app/website covers, with difficulty levels that start with the first-timer and over the course of 30 levels gradually move all the way up through advanced and on to professional (if not then some)!

### 5/5 — Great content. Super dev response!

*2017-06-27, version 2.4.18*

I've been enjoying the content very much. Without paying, each course has a daily limit. That's ok. Reported a bug that stopped my progress — within hours I had a response — an account adjustment for now & a bug fix coming in the next update.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!!

*2017-01-13, version 2.4.18*

This is the best Vocal training app ever!!! It is good for those who are beginners and need to check their answers when in doubt I love I would recommend it to any person who wants to improve their music skills.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2015-10-04, version 2.0*

Okay, so I'm a music major in college and a class I'm taking right now is Music Theory I. Well I had a little theory before I came to college so I'm doing decently so far. But most of our fairly large class is having a really hard time. Well, our professor did some research and digging and found this app. He made all of us download it and do assignments on it. Well I personally love it! It's so addicting and it really is helpful. All of my classmates love it and are learning much quicker. And it's a fun competition to see who can get the highest belt. My only problem is that there are a few bugs but nothing major. Like sometimes I can't open my assignments. I also don't personally care for how the circle of fifths is set it up. Half of it is off set and it bugs me. Other that this app is great and I highly recommend!

### 4/5 — Subscription

*2024-01-04, version 3.0.9*

I wish you offered an annual subscription option. I hate monthly payments.

### 4/5 — Great music app. Video intro needed for each game.

*2020-05-03, version 2.4.39*

It’s the best music program app I could find. Could you add a short video trailer showing how to play the games for each game? My 7-year-old got frustrated when he did not know what he was supposed to do.
