    Hilarious ? faces ?????? @ the piano
    Hard to see past the silly faces being made at the piano. Guess kids will like it.

    EarWizard
    Incorporates a fun way of learning music while exercising memory. Highly recommend. No flashy ads or glitches.

    ?
    please add the guitar.

    So close
    As others have mentioned, this is currently just a game of Simon. There should be an option to randomize the key each round (i.e. Play root, then a random progression each time), or at the very least same key but random progression...instead of just adding a chord to the same progression each time. Also, all these instruments and no guitar??? Show more

    Jordan Rudess!!!!?
    Really!? How effin sweet! I had no idea! I'll give it a shot, what the hell. Under a glass moon I would perform a liquid tension experiment that could create a metropolis of the six degrees of inner turbulence. :) And to the bloke who is talking about Simon... Dude, if you knew... If Jordan Rudess says it's good, then you'd better believe. Show more

    Why wouldn't I get the Simon says game
    This is dumb, it's just the Simon says game glorified with chord tones instead of various beeps and colors. I don't see how this could help you in any way musically Show more

    Just awful
    A simple app that's using Jordan Rudess' name to charge people for something that many free apps do. The only thing this app does is give you super easy harmonic dictation, or at least that's the impression I got after playing the 3 levels available to play before being asked by Jordan Rudess to pay up. If you are looking for good apps to exercise your ear, and much more, try Earmaster, or musicTheory.org. This is a total rip-off!!! Show more

    Sweet!
    Rudess breaks new ground in music ed! Biggest thrill out of a few bucks that I've had in awhile. May the downraters not influence any decisions on future development. This is a project worth exploring to the limits of the universe. (Throw in an entire Berklee ear-training degree and I'll gladly pay an extra buck or two. ;-) ) Thanks Jordan, et al! Show more

    Ugh
    Not ear training at all. Just a glorified game of simon. Absolutely useless.
  • I hope a non taken nickname!, 05.06.2014
    I'd Play it...just to see for yourself
    I hope i dont have nightmares. The music so beautiful. But the videos and the wizard....

    Bad
    Bad because it's expensive. You pay then pay and pay again

    Change voice it's angry
    This app moves very slow so it would be good for a kid but the the wizards voice and expression is not friendly or encouraging a scolding voice says stay focused in a scolding manner. Good idea tweak it a bit. Show more

    No
    Dull, slow, simon, not ear training
  • xsoundgardenx, 08.12.2013
    Professional opinion
    Decent app and a welcome addition for chord progression training (also see chear and better ears apps). I like that you can switch to Roman numerals instead of chord names. I haven't unlocked the other two chained off tiers of training (why are these not available from the start?) but from what I have seen, the bass is still too powerful even when turned down all the way. It overwhelms the rest of the triads and makes hearing the root movement unrealistic in a real world setting. The biggest flaw is that this is the game of simon and I still haven't figured out how to have it play in different keys for each challenge. The app would be much better if it played the chords randomly in varying keys rather than simply adding one more chord in the same progression as a memorization challenge rather than a purely aural one. Hope you update it, it is well designed and you're onto something good. Show more

    Will be great when bugs are fixed
    Great practice tool, but the app slows down to the point of being annoying. Especially so during the timed rounds when you run out of time before the app processes your answers Show more

    Fantastic introduction to music
    This is a fantastic introduction to train one's ear to truly listen.
  • 5 star rating!!, 28.07.2013

    It's ok

    EarWizard is a great app
    I am no musical genius. I spent many dollars and many years trying to train these ears of mine with few positive results. Along comes EarWizard… I have been finding great benefit to using EarWizard. The visual feedback is good for those of us without great ears and the progression from much visual feedback to none during each round is great for building confidence. The visuals of Jordan playing the chords with his various facial expressions are funny and the way the app mixes things up to keep you honest is also a good feature so that one cannot succeed on memory of visual cues alone. My lone criticism is that if you have both an iPhone and an iPad, your progression through the app is not shared between devices as of my last examination. Granted, it keeps the challenge high, so you have to duplicate your efforts between devices, but it would be nice to have the option to play on both devices and maintain your progress. Show more
