### 4/5 — Prove to the kids that you're really not tone deaf!

*2022-01-11, version 1.3.1*

Simple and easy to use app, excellent for proving to your disapproving kids that you're not as tone deaf as they say you are!

### 5/5 — I love this <3 ))

*2021-11-22, version 1.3.1*

I thought I was time dead and thought I couldn’t never sing but this helped me and I’m gonna start practicing singing

### 5/5 — Learn about yourself

*2021-11-14, version 1.3.1*

Take the test it may answer your question and give you more confidence.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2021-11-09, version 1.3.1*

Excellent app to test on your friends. Love it. Free & no Ads. Can’t get much better than that. If your into music this is a must app to have on your iphone,iPad, computer, etc. To the developer- Well Done.

### 5/5 — Proof is in the pudding 😏

*2021-11-01, version 1.3.1*

I downloaded this as I’m going to be doing some singing lessons/vocal coaching soon so I wanted to do test for a laugh.  Came back I passed 100% would be a bit of shock as a musician and music producer etc if it came back that I was tone deaf 🤭 anyway as I thought I’m definitely not tone deaf. Great little app though going to test my mum and dad now 😜

### 5/5 — A world of hurt

*2021-09-27, version 1.3.1*

I have a spatial deficit from a childhood head trauma. My connection with music has always been full of holes and blank spaces. I have an excellent ear for language and spoken voice intonations. My relationship to music is chaotic. I got 88% on tone deaf test. I get tired very quickly from the different sounds and pitches. Sensory overload! This app is a gateway. I can work on this.

### 5/5 — This App

*2021-09-02, version 1.3.1*

This App is very nice and very good for me thank you 😍😍😘😘

### 5/5 — Fabulous test and very easy to take

*2021-09-01, version 1.3.1*

This is a very easy way to get rid of the stigma of being tone deaf so you can actually progress to teach your voice to be accurate instead of thinking you are doomed and will never sing accurately. Great way to start on the road of voice training!

### 5/5 — 100% not tone deaf however silly yes 😀

*2021-06-16, version 1.3.1*

Just curious 👍

Simple and easy to use

### 5/5 — Quick and effective

*2021-05-24, version 1.3.1*

In a very short amount of time, you will learn if you are tone deaf. You may also be reassured if your score is very high. I got 100 percent, and my guess is many others will too.

### 5/5 — 100% Correct

*2021-04-21, version 1.3.1*

Someone complained about how easy the test was, thinking that because he had scored 100%, that the test must be flawed.  What he doesn’t realize is that it proves beyond a shadow of doubt that he in not tone deaf.  The simplicity of the test is it’s own validity.   You'll either get a perfect score, or you won’t.

### 5/5 — Fun Test

*2021-03-20, version 1.3.1*

this is a really nice, well made app.  I scored 100% and it wasnt difficult to make the choices, so i wondered about the validity of the test.  I sent it to a friend to try (terrible taste in music), he bombed it.  52%.  So apparently it does what it says it does. The dog was very fascinated by it as well.  Had a hard time getting her to choose an answer though.

### 5/5 — Does what it says on the can

*2021-03-01, version 1.3.1*

The app works perfectly, and serves its purpose with no obstacles or frustrations. Very nice!

### 5/5 — Informative

*2020-11-11, version 1.3.1*

With this app I realized that I could learn to sing in tune and how to go about it.

### 5/5 — Wanted to check

*2020-11-01, version 1.3.1*

Just was curious if I was tone deaf, good thing to know that I am not lol

This app is running OK on a current updated iPhone XS Max

### 5/5 — Love this

*2020-10-12, version 1.3.1*

If I was tone deaf while in band I would be screwed right now 😂

### 3/5 — Good for piano players

*2020-09-21, version 1.3.1*

But if you are a guitar player, the subtleties of tuning are
beyond the scope of this test.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-06-11, version 1.3.1*

Useless and meaningless test

### 1/5 — Stupid app

*2021-04-04, version 1.3.1*

Anyone can do this test. If you’re tone deaf it means you can’t mimic the right pitch, not decipher it

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing

*2020-06-30, version 1.3.1*

Have an iPhone 10XR. Can’t finish the third section without crashing.

### 1/5 — App crash

*2020-04-08, version 1.3.1*

In the middle of taking the test , the app crashes.

### 1/5 — Great idea, rubbish follow through

*2020-02-26, version 1.3.1*

Poor audio quality, constant crashing forces you to restart the whole ordeal. Get it together guys. This is not a product you should want to stand behind

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2020-02-20, version 1.3.1*

I have an iphone 7 and it keeps crashing i cant even take the test

### 1/5 — Find  another app

*2019-09-24, version 1.3.1*

Don’t get this app! I was in the middle of the test and it crashed and wouldn’t let me take it again.

### 1/5 — this app blows balls

*2014-11-11, version 1.1*

this app blows balls, there no way in hell im not tone deaf, i cant sing for the life of me im as tone deaf as they come and this test says I'm not b.s.
if i could give it zero stars i would. good thing it was free.

### 2/5 — Deleted after 10 Minutes

*2022-03-15, version 1.3.1*

I got to the third stage of the testing and it shut down three times in a row. I tried one more time and it shut down again after the first series of tests.

### 2/5 — Suspicious

*2020-04-18, version 1.3.1*

I’ve always been told I can’t sing in tune and have struggled to even tune my guitar which caused me to give up - this test says I’m 100% not time deaf - mmmm they are selling singing courses as well - am a little suspicious 😢

### 5/5 — Next step: Singing lessons

*2022-05-15, version 1.3.1*

Singing lessons not a waste of time/ effort/ embarrassment now that I know I’m not tone deaf… just got to learn how to hit a note now… Nice simple well-explained app

### 5/5 — So simple and so convincing

*2022-04-16, version 1.3.1*

Always described myself as tine deaf but it turns out I can hear the difference - just can’t produce the sound myself! Quick and simple.

### 5/5 — Not tone deaf!!

*2022-04-02, version 1.3.1*

My mother and aunts all sang exceptionally well my mother sang harmony naturally be simply hearing a melody. She said I was tone deaf, or almost, because I always sang off key. I am proud to know I am not tone deaf.

### 5/5 — Easy and enjoyable

*2022-02-08, version 1.3.1*

Enjoyed taking this test and the 100% result was reassuring as I’d been told from childhood that I was tone deaf.

### 5/5 — Okay now what?

*2021-12-01, version 1.3.1*

So I’m clearly not tone deaf as my SO likes to insinuate. Next step learning to sing again.
