### 4/5 — Helping

*2025-07-27, version 2.3*

Helping me to learn to read music; as an adult with dyslexia and also another reading disability books alone aren’t enough. 
Would be great if there is an update to have more speed settings to have option of slower rates.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2022-04-16, version 2.2*

Fantastic way to learn the notes though it would be beneficial if a piano keyboard was used to donate which note is which.

### 5/5 — Like ir

*2021-12-29, version 2.2*

Fun

### 5/5 — Muito bom!!

*2021-08-25*

Bom, muito bom!

### 5/5 — Really fun app

*2021-07-20, version 2.2*

It’s so fun and easy also it helped me learn my notes in a week or two

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2021-02-06, version 2.2*

I’m crazy about the “cat” apps!  I’m a flutist and instructor and I recommend this app to my beginning students to help reinforce their reading skills. But, why is there no Alto Cat?  My daughter is a young violist and there is serious lack of quality apps for learning to read alto clef.

### 5/5 — Awesome sight reading game for kids and grownups

*2021-01-14, version 2.2*

I got the entire music cat package for my piano and cat obsessed 5yo. He has a gifted ear and heavily relies on it, so the games give him a fun and interactive way to work on theory. He loves the songs in Rhythm Cat 2, would love to know the titles!

### 5/5 — Cool app.

*2020-12-14, version 2.2*

I’m an older music student. I just finished all of level 3 and I am going to complete them all. This is helping me very much. I like the cool music and beats. Relaxing!

### 5/5 — Helpful!

*2020-10-20, version 2.2*

I found my old flute and wanted to relearn how to read music. I finished all 80 levels in 2 days because it is really fun and I learned a lot. I played on my iPhone and had no issues using this app.

### 5/5 — purrfect!

*2020-06-15, version 2.1*

really simple and highly effective way to get used to reading / recognising notes quickly and automatically 👍🏼👏🏼

ps this is unsolicited : but dont be out off by a bad review i just saw - this app has really helped me more than any other - i am a slow learner - it seems simple but its a brilliant concept actually

### 5/5 — Fun app!

*2020-01-29, version 2.1*

My piano teacher introduced me to this app and it’s quite fun and addicting. It slowly eases you into memorizing every note for treble clef but it’s like a game so it’s fun to beat levels and keep progressing. I recommend trying to verbally say every note as they stream across, even if they aren’t the target notes.

### 5/5 — I think it is good

*2019-05-14, version 2.1*

My mind has blown its so good I love it so much

### 5/5 — Thank you treble cat!!!!!

### 5/5 — Fun and addictive

### 5/5 — Fun and effective

### 1/5 — ew

*2021-02-08, version 2.2*

just buy the lite version, this version is just a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Ни чему не учит

*2020-03-14*

Тупо жмёшь на картинку, можно даже без музыки

### 1/5 — Ruined a Good Thing

*2018-10-03, version 2.0*

My music students have loved this app over the years. But now, everything they liked about it is gone - the bright colors, cool music in different styles.  They groan when I pull it out when they used to cheer and beg for it. VERY disappointed! Why mess with success?  I’ll no longer recommend it to parents. What a shame!

### 1/5 — No sound with new iOS update!

*2017-01-06, version 1.8*

I'm so upset.  Please update the app to run with the newest iOS update.  There is no longer any sound on this, Bass cat or Rhythm cat.  I can't use these with my students if there's no sound.  Please fix.

### 2/5 — Why not see AND hear?

*2021-08-10, version 2.2*

Memorizing the position of notes on the clef is fine, as far as it goes —  but why not reinforce that by sounding the note for each correct choice? Not all learning is visual, and Treble Cat’s failure to associate written notes with their sounds is a disappointing failure.

### 3/5 — Unsicher wie man lernen soll

*2022-07-17*

Leider ist nirgendwo eine Beschreibung in der App wie einem das, naja, recht einfache anklicken von durchlaufenden Noten mit Hintergrundmusik beim erkennen mit dem Ohr helfen soll. Auch umgekehrt erschließt sich mir das Prinzip nicht.
Einzig die durch das Bild laufende Note schnell als Bild erkennen und antippen ist äußerst Visuell, hilft mir jedoch nur sehr wenig beim erkennen mit dem Ohr. Wie gesagt, der zu erzielende Effekt ist grundsätzlich nicht klar und nicht erläutert. Ansonsten eine funktionierende App.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2015-07-06, version 1.6*

It helped me to learn what the notes are called, but there is definitely room for improvement. The tap targets are fairly hard to hit, and when notes go at different speeds and overlap, it can be impossible to get a correct answer. This game is probably not usable by kids with motor skills delays. It would also be a lot better if the notes played the notes that they are when you hit them. I think that Musicopouslos helped me more.

### 3/5 — Piano teacher review

*2012-04-02, version 1.0*

I really like the concept behind the app. However, I gave it three stars because most of my students would not be able to use it because the notes move too fast for younger children. I will give this a 5 star rating and use it in my studio if they create an update with notes that move slower across the screen and make a staff with larger notes. That would make this an awesome app for students of all ages.

### 3/5 — Fun while one learns!

*2012-04-01, version 1.0*

Played on iPad 1 which is not as sophisticated as later versions of iPads but I am really learning to read those notes, which is the whole jest of this game. No music background, just a novice learning to read musical notes. Good clean learning.

### 4/5 — Helpful

*2025-10-22, version 2.3*

It really helps with your understanding of notes me and my friends love it and the back ground music is nice but make it more pop I’ve mainly got 3stars and 2 stars no ones so I’ve made very good progress. This app is very fun as well.

### 5/5 — Challenging

*2025-11-09, version 2.3*

Started using this app to learn to read music notation, it was really helpful. Challenged me to learn to read faster than I was and made it fun at the same time.

### 5/5 — Excellent learning tool

*2024-10-08, version 2.3*

I'm an adult learner, coming from bass clef. This app does a great job of building slowly, with a lot of repetition in various ways to reinforce learning. I love that I can pick it up and do a few minutes here and there when I have time to kill. I had been struggling with treble clef until I found this app -- I have made a huge amount of progress in just a few days!

### 5/5 — Very Fun

*2024-09-12, version 2.3*

As an adult learner who has always wanted to learn to read music but has found it difficult, this app has made learning notes fun! I’m thankful to say that this app has been the very best learning tool for me.

### 5/5 — My children and I love this app
