Simplest and Most Fun
I never write reviews but this app has been a lot of fun and is a pleasure to use. When they say "highly addictive piano game" they mean it, so watch out. I didn't believe them at first, and then my afternoon disappeared.

---
How to Play:

• To hear the melody again, tap "replay"
• Use the piano to play the melody yourself
• Play often to improve your score!
---
MIDI In – Plug in your MIDI keyboard to enhance the experience! (Core MIDI compatible)
MIDI Out – If you have a music instrument app (such as a synth) that can run in "background mode" and accepts virtual Core MIDI, you can play Melody Ear Training using the sounds of that app.
---
Tips for the Beginners:
Start with "2 Notes" for the melody length, set the difficulty to "Diatonic", and set the "Scale" to "C".
Use the + and - keyboard range control to set the keyboard to a small range such as "C, D" or "C, D, E".
Keep practicing, and as you progress you'll want to make the range larger.
---
Tips for the Pros:
Set "Feedback" to "Never" and turn on "Autoplay" to play continuously without ever missing a beat. Crank up the tempo to see how fast you can go!
---
Melody Settings:
Scale – 13 major scales
Difficulty – Diatonic, Random Tonic, Chromatic
Length – 2 to 6 notes
Tempo – 60 to 320 BPM
Keyboard Range – Starting at 2 notes in a major scale (ex. “C, D”) and up to 12 notes in a major scale (ex. “C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G”) with the ability to change octaves.
Feedback – Set to "Never" to stop all messages. Set to "Wrong" if you only want messages for incorrect melodies.
Sound – Set to "Piano" to hear the built-in piano sound. Set to "MIDI Out" to hear the sound of a music instrument app (such as a synth) that can run in "background mode" and accepts virtual Core MIDI.
Autoplay – Turn on to always play the next melody immediately. Turn off if you want to play the keyboard freely between melodies.
Key Labels – Turn off to remove note names on white keys.
Allow Unison – Turn off if you don't want the same note to be played twice in a row.
---
About the Difficulty Setting:
"Diatonic" uses notes from a major scale. This setting is recommended.
"Random Tonic" uses notes from a random major scale each time.
"Chromatic" mode is the "extreme mode" where any combination of notes is possible. As a result, strange intervals like the Augmented 2nd (ex. F to G#) are possible.
---
About the Score:
Melody Ear Training is all about self progression. Tap the score to reset at any time. The game goes on forever and the music never ends!

Great Ap!
With great elegance and configurability, the app is a nice tool for learning to hear notes better. I love how this app can serve me as a beginner and with the right settings can challenge or stump my wife, who has a much more developed ear. I'll be recommending this app to kids and adults. One small tip: on the screen after submitting be your answer, show both my answer AND the corrected answer, so I can mess around more and try to hear the difference between my answer and the truth.
5 stars
Awesome app i love it!
YEEEEAHH!!
It's back and it's better than ever. So happy! Thank you!
Best ear training app
Best app for ear training. So glad it's back in the store
Awesome!
It's a fun piano game!
Who's writing these reviews?
Well, this guy must have friends writing reviews. No options for speed. No options for modes or minor scales. No ability to correct entries. Only 1 octave. No option for entering answer without sound. No option to replay exercise to analyze weak spots. Max length of "melody" is 5 notes. Always fun to see how many will be exactly the SAME note. Irritating "feedback" option. "Do Re Mi" has many of these options... how is this competitive? Yeah, it's 2 dollars less, but it's 3 dollars more pointless. And how could it come from a Berklee student? Please. A waste of time for a free app. And it isn't free. - KD Jones
Nice but needs improvement
I think this app will improve one ear to hear when a series of notes is played. Need improvement in the following: auto play next question, option to practice in different keys.
