**** Check out our new Sight-Singing app, on 25% off launch sale through September! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sight-singing-trainer/id1028696567 **** ** Combined remove adds and unlock advanced features including multi-note and UI customization in-app purchase now only $2.99! ** This is an ear training app made by a musician for musicians. Whether you play jazz, pop, classical, or any other style, the relative-Do solfege approach is basically the only effective relative pitch approach that allows you to play anything you hear by ear. Interval training, while helpful in a way, is way too slow to apply extensively in a practical manner. The method of recognizing the 12 solfege syllables: do, di/ra, re, ri/me, mi, fa, fi/se, so, si/le, la, li/te, ti based on their characteristic sound against a tonal/key center is widely taught in conservatories. Short of having perfect pitch, this is basically the only way to keep up in improvisations and jam sessions. This training won't be easy. As anyone teaching this method will tell you, it will usually take at least months or even years of hard work, but once you succeed, you'll just be able to play anything by ear. This app aims to provide a graduated training ramp up that will hopefully make the process easier. This app can also help practice absolute pitch by using the pitch name input mode instead of relative-do solfege syllables. Features: · Play reference cadence in any key to train in any key, major or minor · Ramp up starting with one note and work up to eight notes together or played in series · Customizable settings to train specific scale degrees or octaves · Streak counter to track progress · Practice using solfege syllables, scale degree numbers, or pitch names

    One if the best ear trainer apps out there
    If you know Charlie Banacos’ method for ear training this is perfect except for the fact that you can’t answer multiple notes without the octave order. It would be great to have it as an option to practice with the note colors rather than the voicing structure. Show more

    Sound
    I am having issues hearing the sound as well, but if you connect your headphones you will be able to hear it. Not ideal, but a work around.

    Best app for ear training!
    This app assumes a bit of knowledge of theory. But nothing that couldn’t be learned in an hour or two on YouTube. It’s not asking you to name intervals after randomly playing a single note. It establishes a key center and works within it since that’s how you encounter music in actual practice. You can tweak the exercises quite a bit. You can stay in one key for a week or have it change every exercise. You can work on hearing stacked notes or melodic lines. A lot of the ear training apps seem like they weren’t made by people who know much about music. More like programmers who read up on ear training. If you want to train your ears then get this app. Show more

    Can’t hear anything
    The idea is great, but simply not working Can’t hear anything

    Also no sound.
    I have no sound on my iPhone from this app. What’s the deal? Why would I consider paying for the upgrade when the simple version won’t work. Seems like it could be a great app otherwise. Show more

    Not very helpful if you can’t hear anything

    Can’t hear it
    I was so excited about this app because of the great reviews, but for some reason the sounds won’t come through on my phone. I have tried restarting and playing with the volume. I’m not sure if I’m the only one experiencing this! I will keep the app in hopes that it gets fixed. I will revisit this rating when I can use the app. Show more

    Sound trouble
    Like another recent user I am having trouble using the app. I have an iPhone 6 with the latest iOS and the app isn’t playing anything. The sound isn’t working.
