the app has no tutorials. it does not explain anything. if you are already a well versed audio engineer it might be fine but to anyone else, no. i just wasted $5 Show more

I’m a bit of a workaholic, and blind, audio engineer. This is like the holy grail of an iOS game for me. It’s simultaneously fun and productive. I can play on the go to have better ideas of what I’m hearing on my phone for later correction in Pro Tools, or plug into one of my monitor sets at home to test my instinct... and it’s a game, with categories and scores. Much respect ✌️ Show more

I just really like it. It’s a nice tool to add. - DJ Bomb

4.5 if I could give 1/2 stars. I really like this app. Features that would make it even more competitive with online platforms: a compression type quiz (start with ratios, then maybe add attack/release controls, in ms?). A panning quiz (% L or R). A mid-side training function (EQ or compression). A distortion/harmonic saturation type quiz, either what order harmonics or another % wet/dry like compression. Heck, even as simple as, which is more ‘effected’. A quiz to try and guess the delay in ms (handy for a systems engineer). There are so many possibilities! Don’t get lazy.

Think this is one of the coolest apps ever made. Wish I had it growing up.

Love the app. It is great for Audio Engineers to learn and fine tune his/her craft.

This had helped me a LOT. Not only can I determine frequency and gain changes much more easily after using it, I'm able to hear many suble differences in sound qualities that I couldn't before. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it would probably cut the time it takes to train your ears if it had an option to let the exercise keep playing until you tell it to go on to the next one. That way, you could hear the difference after you've already guessed it. That would really help to learn the differences more easily. The way it is now, it stops playing as soon as you guys correctly, so you don't get a chance to memorize how a particular change sounds. That's a pretty big oversight IMO. Show more

Keep your ears "in shape" (functionally not aesthetically). If you don't use it you lose it.

This is really helpful tool. I would suggest adding lessons on Panning, Compression Ratio, Release, Attack, and Mid/Side if that’s a possible lesson. That would really help.

I would have given it five stars, if there have been an autoplay next option. This would give you the opportunity to take your eyes off the screen, so that you make your first guess from what you hear, not from what you see as available choices. Show more

Ear training at its best.

Simple to use, great for practicing quickly and frequently, on the go, etc.

I am definitely making progress, but I wish it kept track of my scores so I could see my improvement over time. I feel like that would be really motivating. Is that really difficult to implement? Show more

Tried this and nearly all of the songs in my library couldn’t be used because they’re DRM-protected. Also started in the middle of the song and looped like 10 seconds. I can’t do anything with 10 seconds of banjo! Show more

Why won’t the app work in landscape on iPad? And the layout of quizzes seems counterproductive. Start with easy on top and work down to more difficult? A few other things make it seem very unpolished for such an established app. Show more

It’s a good concept, but it is not fully accessible for blind users. It does not describe what the buttons are, it does not let you choose an answer, it does not let you choose a song from your library, it doesn’t even read you what the question is. It’s kind of confusing to navigate as well. Please make it accessible, if not give me my money back! And I’ll go ahead and let other blind users not to purchase this app. I would definitely change my review if it gets updated and becomes accessible. Show more

EQ option will not open my Apple Music files.

I don’t know what it is but I seriously could not hear the 10db boost in any of the quizzes. And I’m not crazy because I took the same piece of music and went to logic and boosted the same frequency up by 10 dB and it was an OBVIOUS boost but in the app the EQ boost was not there. If this is a bug then please fix it soon because I’m wasting my money. Edit: I didn’t realize you had to toggle the on and off switch. You know if you could put that in as a message before the quiz started that would be great. Show more

If there was an option to have an upgrade path to both the OS X and iOS version, this app would be 5 stars and more. Also a tone generator would be awesome, especially if there were multiple waveforms. Show more

I’m currently in school taking recording classes and we are supposed to be using the Golden Ears training program to study frequencies etc. That program is way too expensive for me and I can’t book studio time just to practice this. This app has been invaluable for identifying frequencies and pink noise/music EQ cut and boosts. Super happy with my purchase! Show more
