Ear Trainer App Reviews

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 I'm improving. It's a great, simple to use app. The interface could look better and the text could be enlargeable, but hey.

Will take your musicianship to a whole new level!

In a few days after doing the app exercises, I notice the difference 👍

I don't 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.

Their samples for guitar sound just like the piano sounds it’s kind of ridiculous.

I have totally improved my ear since using this app. I wish I had known about it earlier.

Amazing tool really well made and useful

I love this app but the only reason I am not giving it a five star rating is because if you find a mistake in the melody and want to fix it, you can't. This is a great app but I wish you could fix this.

Great app really comrehensive

Great practice and simple to use.

Finally... After so many years struggling to find way of developing aural skills!.. The best app yet. I wish I had it XX years ago!!!

You'll have better luck learning to ear train if you try and sing back what you hear even if ya don't sing

Start screen appears and then disappears Right away

Really nice to have ear training on the go. Love how it tracks your progress and the settings are super customizable. The exercises are progressive and well ordered.

Love the progressive nature of the exercises. Most definitely a permanent addition to my ear training repertoire

Helped me focus on some of my weaknesses. Well thought out, easy to use, very helpful.

Great practice and training. Well organized. Seeing improvement. I play violin. Easy to take with and practice while waiting in line, on the bus, or anywhere instead of wasting idle moments on the Internet.

As a bassist I’m always trying to expand my music knowledge beyond “one more at a time”! This program helps me develop and hear multiple harmony and notes at the same time!

I'm critical when it comes to music training apps. In fairness, I've only been using this one for a week or two, but so far I'm quite pleased. I use this with headphones and the quality of the piano sound that generates the tones is quite good (I've tried some apps where the tone is so unpleasant that I don't want to use it). This app is pretty simple and straightforward. Easy to use. Customizable. I like it.

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

You need this if you're a professional musician!

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. It's not a "game," but it is a lot of fun, like any well made tool. I don't 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.

This app has almost limitless combinations of varied and practical exercises. It is a bargain and is far better than any other relative pitch training app I've used so far. Kudos to the developers and look forward to (hopefully) more updates.

It is as stated in the subject

Nice app for dedicated persons. Exercises are tedious and progression is very slow, however after many-many repetitions you’ll likely see steady results. If you want quick results though, this app will not help. It just a good structured set of exercises, you’ll need to put decent amount of effort to progress.

This is the only app you need for ear training. Nonetheless, it would be very useful if I could answer through my keyboard using MIDI. Amazing app!!!

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 I've 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 aren't! Lots of these popping up. Please please please make the interval identification have more sections. I'm 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!!! I'm 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.

Really detailed app to really get your ear up to par

Doing this review with Russian accent... Is good app. Leetle buttons are hard to press sometime. But is good. I use in morning while having breakfast. (No, not Vodka... is too early for "lunch").

It’s easy to use and lets you improve in increments

You’ll be pleasantly surprised by their teaching methods—excellent.

Really well done. Makes ear training feel like a game :)

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 Update May 2017: A year later and I love this program.

The method, scope, and detail included in this product make it well worth the price. The results I've achieved in the last 5 weeks (investing 1.5 hours/day, 5 days/week) far exceed my expectations and have given me significantly greater confidence and proficiency in my improvisation and songwriting.

A phenomenal app. Buy it, use it daily, and enjoy the benefits.

So easy to use.

It's an amazing app, huge help in my practice. I'm also recommending it to all my students. Thank you for making it so perfect, I wouldn't change a thing on it!

Great

I wish I'd studied ear training in school, but this app is filling in that gap for me. I've learned a ton and practiced for hours on this app. Full marks.

It's a good way to learn and kill time.

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

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.

Please research sharp and flat solfege...also "immovable do". Some example: Do Di re ri mi fa fi sol si la Li ti do And Do ti te la Le sol se fa fe me re Ra do 5 stars after you fix the solfege syllables...

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

Definitely worth the investment

This is such a well thought-out ear training app! I appreciate that sounds and concepts are presented in a very isolated and logical manner, with plenty of options for customization. There is material in here for a beginner and advanced musicians. Definitely lots of challenging stuff to keep you busy! Highly recommended.

Easy to use, this app helps interval recognition. Try it and enjoy your music a bit more. It’s great as a supplement to classes.

Seems good to me so far

This app is amazing. First time I feel my ears are actually getting trained. There are loads of exercises at different difficulty levels so you can work your way up comfortably at your own pace. Plus custom exercises so you can train exactly what you want to practice. The included glossary and links are helpful for the beginner music student. And the option to play along with your own instrument via the microphone is an awesome surprise feature. The app has a very simple interface, but it feels very polished and the details make me feel it was written by an experienced music teacher. A must buy!
