We won't promise you perfect pitch — for adults that's next to impossible, and honest apps shouldn't claim otherwise. IntervalEar trains relative pitch, the skill every musician actually uses: hearing the distance between two notes. 20-LEVEL TRAINING PATH, ALL FREE. Start by telling an octave from a unison, then add fifths, fourths, thirds… up to all 12 intervals. Ascending melodies first, then descending, finally harmonic (both notes at once). Pass each level at 90% accuracy. Levels unlock purely by your own progress — nothing is behind a paywall. MISTAKES ARE THE LESSON. Every wrong answer offers "hear it again" and "compare": the correct interval, then the one you chose, back to back until your ear locks in the difference. Replay as often as you like before answering — no penalty. NOTE NAMING, ALL THREE TIERS OPEN. Hear the reference note C, then name the target note. White keys, all 12 notes, or memory reference (reference plays once per session). Unlimited sessions. VISIBLE PROGRESS. Accuracy curve over your last 30 sessions, per-interval mastery bars (weakest on top), and your top 3 mix-ups. DAILY PRACTICE. One 3-minute session a day keeps your streak alive. THREE LANGUAGES. English, 简体中文, 日本語. About ads and privacy: all training content is free, with a single banner at the bottom of the screen. Your practice records stay on your phone — never uploaded, no tracking, and no "Allow Tracking" prompt. Apart from that banner, every feature works offline. Prefer no banner? A one-time "Remove Ads" purchase is available in Settings. It only hides the banner — it does not unlock anything, because everything is already free.

About

Dorebit

Features
Read full description

Dorebit is an ear-training app that builds your ear step by step with quizzes. Listen, answer, and hear the correct note sung back, so each sound and its name stick together. ■ FOUR KINDS OF QUIZZES • Notes: hear a single note or a short melody and answer on the keyboard • Chords: name the chord you hear • Chord progressions: put the chords you hear in order Levels rise as you improve. See how far you can get before time runs out. ■ ANSWERS SUNG BACK The correct notes are sung in solfège. Choose Fixed Do, Movable Do, numbers or note names (C D E) to hear them your way. The voice can be Japanese or English. ■ KEYBOARD AND MIDI Check any note on the on-screen keyboard, or connect a Bluetooth MIDI keyboard. You can also play along with a chord-progression backing. ■ SEE WHAT TO WORK ON High scores, accuracy and a mastery map show what to practice next. Today's 4 Questions and streak rewards help you keep a daily habit. ■ COMPOSE Hum a melody or play music, and the app analyzes its melody, tempo and chords on your device and turns it into a song. Fix the notes, add lyrics and chords, play it with accompaniment, and save it as a video to Photos (MIDI, MusicXML and WAV export are supported too). ■ PLAYBACK Listen to the built-in songs (children's songs, classical, gospel, world folk, Christmas and more), each 1.5–3 minutes long, in genre playlists. Add your own compositions and play them like a music player. ■ PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your practice records and songs stay on your device. Audio from the microphone is analyzed on the device only. ■ PRICING Free to use with ads. Importing songs and exporting videos each take a short ad and are limited to once a day, and you can keep up to 3 songs you made. An in-app purchase removes ads and those limits, adds MIDI, MusicXML and WAV export, and lets you start quizzes at higher levels anytime (free players can unlock this for the day by watching an ad). The app's screens are available in Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese; voices are in Japanese and English. Works in portrait and landscape on iPhone and iPad.

Verdict

The call
