    Worst translation ever
    If you developers cant translate apps decently, keep frim doing so. Now what used to be a perfectly good app is useless (nonesense spanish), until I can get it in English again. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LEAVE IT IN ENGLISH OR GIVE US AN OPTION TO CHANGE THE LANG. Dev: Translating apps = out of your league. Show more

    For Every Musician
    This app is simply outstanding. I'm a college music major and about to graduate. If I had this app when I was taking sight singing and ear training I would definitely have done much better. Nice work. Show more

    This is the Worst One...
    I've tried a LOT of these ear training programs. This one is the worst. First off-- it's confusing. But even if you take the time to figure out al the menus there's no way to start with a small group of notes. You're immediately tested a full multi-octive range. So this is NOT for beginners. And then to make matters worse. Every time you answer something wrong, a pop-up window tells you so, with no means of review. All you can do is click, "OK", yes I got that wrong. This is not fun at all. Show more

    Love It
    I've always needed to work more on my ear training skills. This app is just what I needed. Mostly use the interval training now, but I'm sure I'll make use of the other excercises as I progress. Show more

    How do I use this?
    I thought this would be a good intro but there are no directions. Totally worthless for me until that is added.

    this is a good application
    too easy for me cuz i have perfect pitch, but it can really help those trying to develop.

    Needs work
    I have been using the pitch quiz successfully for some time, so I think the people claiming it "doesn't do anything" just aren't looking hard enough. That said, this app is far from being production-quality. If I were Apple I wouldn't have approved it in the first place. The reason I'm writing this, however, is to point out one particular bug. The pitch quiz is not random. Every time I start a pitch quiz after starting the app, I get the same sequence of notes: F, Bb, E B, C... If there is any random number generating code in this at all, it's probably not being seeded properly. And yeah, the guitar sound is disgusting. Show more

    crap
    doesnt do anything. worst music app ever.
  • Pen-an-app-review, 03.07.2009
    Meh. Save your disk space.
    It really doesn't do anything. No instructions to work what functionality it has. Yes, the piano is kind of cool, but you can only see an octave at a time and have to shift the screen yourself. That means it's not really all that playable simply as a piano. I am interested in buying the bigger program, but not without playing with it first at $15. This free version is poor marketing for the big version. Show more

    Don't waste your time with the free version
    The free version is completely limiting in which chords it shows you and which key signatures it displays. It doesn't play any exercises unless you pay for the full version. I would be more apt to buy the full version if I knew it just limited the number of exercises but at least showed full functionality. I can get more out of my pitch pipe and theory book! Show more

    Good idea, poor execution. (or is it the free version? Not sure )
    I deleted as after my first use of it.
  • jakefive, 14.04.2009
    YES
    I am so glad to have found this! I always play this with a friend when by a piano...trying to guess the note that was played. Awesome

    best (free) ear trainer in the app store
    I'm really surprised this isn't rated higher - it is amazing if for nothing but the piano function. You have to open the app and tilt it sideways without hitting the next button to get it to just play, but sustains beautifully, and is quite accurate. Show more

    Guitar sounds orrible
    The guitar version of it sounds horrible.
  • Llirpa, 14.02.2009
    Love it!
    Also, you can just play it like a piano. It's a lot of fun.
  • Astatekate, 11.02.2009
    Okay little app
    Playing around on this app, I've noticed a major flaw--the spellings of the chords are WAY off. Ex: Ab-E-Db is not the spelling of an Ab minor chord. But, if you don't need to learn the spelling, the app is just fine. Overall, that major discrepency in the free version has kept me from downloading the $15 one with more advanced theory. Show more

    Useless
    If you don't know which notes are which.
  • Live Given, 19.01.2009
    It gave me a bunch of help with music theory.
    What would be really nice is an application like Finale or Sibelius. If you could do that, I would deeply appreciate it!
