Music Practice vs iTheory ‑ ABRSM Exam Guide

Your apps are winning. Your instrument is losing. Music Practice flips that. Choose the apps that eat your day — social, games, video, whatever it is for you — and they stay locked behind a music practice challenge. Want back in? Play something first. THREE WAYS TO UNLOCK • Timed Practice — put in real minutes with a built-in metronome. Adjustable BPM, tempo presets, accent patterns, three click sounds. • Music Theory Question — answer one question on intervals, chords, harmony, ear training or sight reading. • Record Yourself — capture a short take and keep it in your practice log. A SHIELD, NOT A NAG Open a blocked app and you get a practice tip instead of a feed. Tap it and you land straight in a session. Finish, then spin the wheel for a random 5-to-30-minute window of screen time. Genuinely need in right now? Emergency Access gives you two minutes, no questions asked. 850+ THEORY QUESTIONS, TUNED TO YOU Switch categories on and off: Intervals, Chords, Harmony, Ear Training, Sight Reading, General. Pick your clefs — treble, bass, alto, tenor. Set difficulty to Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced. Sight-reading questions are drawn on a real staff, not described in words. NOTE NAMES THE WAY YOU LEARNED THEM Choose the note names you were taught: C D E F G A B, the German H system (H, Fis, Es), Dutch Cis–Es–Bes, Swedish and Hungarian spellings, fixed Do Re Mi, or Japanese and Korean names. Every question, answer and key name follows your choice. SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE The whole app — all 850+ questions included — is available in 17 languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Hungarian, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese. Switch languages and the note names switch with them. PROGRESS YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE • Current streak, best streak, total practice minutes • A running count of every time you stopped scrolling and practiced instead • Practice time across the last 7 days, this month and all time • Accuracy per theory category, so you know exactly what to drill • Your most-practiced pieces, ranked by time and session count • Your top 5 most-used apps, this week against last week • Every session logged automatically — browse it as a list or a calendar BUILT FOR YOUR INSTRUMENT Keys, guitar, violin, drums, flute, saxophone, trumpet, voice, bass, banjo, cello, clarinet — or type in your own. Questions and practice tips follow your choice. YOU STAY IN CONTROL Block whole categories or hand-pick individual apps. Set how long each unlock lasts — 5 to 30 minutes, or let the wheel decide. Change your mind whenever you like. Nothing is locked away from you permanently — the point is a pause long enough to reach for your instrument. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account. No sign-in. Your sessions, recordings and stats live locally on your iPhone or iPad. Export a full backup — database and audio together — to a single file whenever you want, and restore it on a new device. Music Practice uses Apple's Screen Time framework. App blocking happens entirely on your device, and the app can never see your browsing or message content. SUBSCRIPTION Music Practice is free to download. Full access is available as: • Monthly — auto-renewing subscription, billed every month • Yearly — auto-renewing subscription, billed once a year, starting with a 1-week free trial • Lifetime — one payment, no subscription Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
