Over 99000 purchased! People love Notes because it's easy and it works. This basic flashcard app helps beginners learn the letter names for notes on the bass and treble clef ("F" on bass through to "G" on treble). Easily toggle between treble and bass clef by tapping the clef symbol. Letter notation can be set to any of these options: 1) C D E F G A B 2) C D E F G A H (used in Germany) 3) Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si (Solfège) Other Features: • Displays a random note on the musical staff and you tap the correct letter/key. • For MIDI savvy folk - this app is MIDI enabled! Use Apple Core MIDI compliant devices with the app. • Toggle the visual effects on/off by tapping the trophy icon. • Practice only specific notes (tap the gears icon to enter the Settings screen where you can disable all but the specific notes you want to practice). TIP: This app has slightly different functionality for portrait orientation vs. landscape orientation. To switch orientations: 1) make sure you have orientation lock off on your device, then 2) launch the app in portrait mode, then rotate your device to landscape mode. If it's not rotating for you, try toggling your lock orientation setting and try again. If you need help, contact us. For feedback or suggestions please contact us at http://visionsencoded.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Studytracks at Free against Notes!'s $3.99. Studytracks also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months). Notes!'s advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and chart position (#94 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
