Ear Trainer App Reviews

Truly impressive and intuitive.

I make music as a serious hobby but I had neglected ear training until recently. So I am in the first exercises. But already I feel that Im improving. Its a great, simple to use app. The interface could look better and the text could be enlargeable, but hey.

Ive worked with quite a few music apps. This is the first music training app I liked and enjoyed using. Both in app features and ease of use make this app a perfect educational tool if you are self taught or used to a classical learning environment.

The pacing of the levels helps a lot. Each lesson builds on the next, reinforcing old skills while learning new ones. I already notice an improvement.

The new custom lesson feature opens up endless possibilities for this app. Great job, guys! In the future it might be cool to be able to edit the voicing of the chords a little more specifically, to move towards a study of the art of counterpoint. I use this app every single day, and my ability to hear pitch relationships has gotten much stronger. Its not a "game," but it is a lot of fun, like any well made tool. I dont know of another ear training app that does chord progressions. I always look forward to their updates, because they sometimes come with new lessons. Maybe some tutorials to explain some of the theory behind the lessons would be interesting and helpful. But if you are already studying music, and using this as a supplement to hone your skills, this is perfect.

I really love this app! It is helping me to train my ear and to be aware of different pitches, when ascending and descending .

I use this for personal use and as a supplement in teaching piano and voice students. Not many frills but a lot of substance.

Its an amazing app, huge help in my practice. Im also recommending it to all my students. Thank you for making it so perfect, I wouldnt change a thing on it!

Woohoo! Customization! I can now make my own interval identification exercises for thirds only. Glad to finally get back on track using this app which has been the only thing Ive ever found to effectively allow me to distinguish between harmonic m2 and M2 consistently. Please fix the incorrect display of enharmonics - F and F# may sound like a m2 but they arent! Lots of these popping up. <previous review> Please please please make the interval identification have more sections. Im still stuck on thirds after more than a year. This app was SO helpful on learning 2nds that I wish it could help me on 3rds but doing 2nds and 3rds together harmonically is just too much at once. Doing them separate and then together would be the best!!! <previous review> Im a professional musician but have always had trouble with identifying intervals, especially harmonically. With a brief daily practice using this app I can now consistently identify the difference between m2 and M2 harmonically and m2, M2, m3, and M3 melodically! I wish this app had identifying harmonic thirds by themselves before combining with seconds because my ears are getting overwhelmed but that is my only wish to improve the app. The addition of the melodic aspect is great.

I just finished Jamey Aebersold jazz camp and learned I need to learn to hear the Dom7 Major and Minor chords. I set up to just use C key until I hear it without error, then add C and F key, then 3 keys and work my way up to all 12 keys. Great learning and ear training tool for hearing chords

Everything you need to pass your ear training exam and brush up on your aural skills. The only thing it is missing is a rhythm section for dictation. If the they adda rhythm module with a 2 and 4-voice dictation module then they will be on par with other desktop apps.

I dont know why the named this app Ear Trainer because this app does not teach you how to identify interval, chords, etc. All it does is TEST your ears. They should call it Ear Tester. Very deceitful. You will have to learn the skill of note, interval, chord, etc identification with something else then use this app to endlessly TEST yourself.

It has a lot of options and will keep you interested. My go-to app for ear training.

Great app really comrehensive

Will take your musicianship to a whole new level!

Really detailed app to really get your ear up to par

I really like this app. It is well worth it, and very helpful for teaching music as well as perfecting my own listening skills. I would recommend it to anyone.

I was really excited to download this program and was enjoying the process till it came to trying to hear the difference between a minor, or major 3rd on iPhone speakers. I get the impression that the app designers are enjoying the frustration they are inflicting. Not only do you have to try and hear a half step difference between the intervals 3-4 octaves apart, they seem to make most of the exercises "colored" by making the major chords end on black keys sounding dark, and minor ones sound more major by the notes they chose, and theres no way to get better at it. I breezed thru most of the other exercises, but this one Im actually getting worse results with every run thru. Its all I can do to not smash my phone. Also, nothing very fun about the app. I thought there would be some game play. Not. Very cut and dry.

Worth the money for quality ear training on the go! Almost every category has ascending, descending, and harmonic options, allowing you to specifically focus on weak areas if necessary.

I use this app every single day, and my ability to hear pitch relationships has gotten much stronger. Its not a "game," but it is a lot of fun, like any well made tool. I dont know of another ear training app that does chord progressions. I always look forward to their updates, because they sometimes come with new lessons. Maybe some tutorials to explain some of the theory behind the lessons would be interesting and helpful. But if you are already studying music, and using this as a supplement to hone your skills, this is perfect.
