Note Rush

See it. Hear it. Play it. Note Rush turns music reading, rhythm, ear training and real instrument practice into six connected arcade-style games. Build fast note recognition, strengthen your musical memory and connect what you see on the staff to what you hear and play. SIX WAYS TO BUILD MUSICIANSHIP • Note Rush — identify written notes before time runs out. • Rhythm Rush — read notes and respond accurately on the beat. • Hearing Rush — hear a hidden pitch and name the note. • Playing Rush — read a note and play its exact pitch on your instrument or with your voice. • Echo Rush — listen to an expanding melody and repeat the complete sequence. • 10min Rush — combine all five focused skills in one guided ten-minute session with a detailed scorecard. PRACTICE AT YOUR LEVEL Choose treble clef, bass clef or Grand Staff. Set your tempo and play at Easy, Intermediate or Pro difficulty. Note ranges expand in musical steps so early sessions stay approachable while advanced sessions remain challenging. PLAY WITH TOUCH, KEYS OR YOUR INSTRUMENT Use the on-screen A–G controls or a hardware keyboard in the reading and listening games. Playing Rush and Echo Rush can use your device microphone to recognise notes from a monophonic instrument or voice. Audio is analysed on your device and microphone recordings are not saved or uploaded. TRACK MEANINGFUL PROGRESS Play without an account, or link an optional Note Rush account to keep 10min Rush history, practice streaks, personal rankings and preferred settings across supported devices. You control your profile and can delete your account from the app. Whether you are learning to read music, returning to an instrument or sharpening your ear, Note Rush makes focused practice clear, active and rewarding.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Note Rush at none against Boo!'s shown. Note Rush also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). Boo!'s advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
