Test yourself to help improve reading of music in a fun way!!! Name That Note is a note spelling quiz for all ages. Whether you’re a novice at reading music or a virtuoso this app offers a challenge at any level. Similarly to how we learn to recognise the individual letters of the alphabet, Name That Note can help you learn the note names on a staff (stave). Select from treble, bass or both clefs. There are three levels difficulty:- 1. Beginner Level - Answer 10 questions with 6 seconds allowed per question. Note positions are restricted to 1 ledger line above and below the staff. There are no accidentals or key signatures. 2. Intermediate Level - Answer 20 questions with 3 seconds allowed per question. Note positions are restricted to 2 ledger lines above and below the staff. Accidentals are introduced but without key signatures. 3. Advanced Level - Answer 30 questions with 2 seconds allowed per question. Note positions can extend as far as 4 ledger spaces either side of the staff. Key signatures are introduced to really test your note reading skills! Fluent note reading requires a certain amount of memorising positions on a staff, recognising accidentals and knowing key signatures. Name That Note uses a ‘flash card style’ way of displaying the question along with four answers, one correct and three incorrect, to choose from. Just like a multiple choice question only one answer is the correct one. After an answer is selected, or the time limit for that question runs out, the correct answer is displayed briefly before going to the next question. Once there are no more questions a total score is given. Now you can turn the timer off to enable 'practice mode'. This great feature allows you to simply take your time when you're learning. And if you feel like more of a challenge you can enable 'continuous mode'. When in both continuous mode and practice mode the questions never end and a percentage of correctness is displayed. However when the timer is turned on and continuous mode is enabled, the game will go on indefinitely until an incorrect answer is given. When this occurs a score is given for the total number of questions answered consecutively.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Easy Note at 5.0 against Name That Note's 3.4. Easy Note also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). Name That Note's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy Note sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Name That Note asks for nothing beyond the download.
Easy Note holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Name That Note has 33 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Name That Note's written reviews are positive against 50% of Easy Note's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Name That Note ships an update every 4 months, Easy Note fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
