Tenuto FAQ
Is Tenuto free?
Yes, Tenuto is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Tenuto legit?
✅ The Tenuto app appears to be high-quality and legitimate. Users are very satisfied.
The app is great! Nice and clean. My favorite feature is the keyboard reverse identification, which I use with my midi digital piano.
The one improvement I would like to see is the ability to practice not only single notes with the keyboard reverse identification, but also to be able to practice chords and arpeggios.
Nagyon
Igényes, használható kis app, csak javasolni tudom. Nagyon szépen kiegészíti az elméletet tartalmazó appot, a Theory-t.
The best tool of its kind
I am quite new to music theory. Used the musictheory.net website and found that there's an app for ALL there is. Actually two apps, one for lessons, one for exercises. This is the latter one. It is handy, can be used anywhere for practicing. Professionals can test their knowledge, beginners like me can enhance their learning and practice on the go.
very useful!
Wonderful!
I use it all the time. So great. Thanks for adding the latest note customization feature. I use this app to improve sight reading of chords and ear training of chords and it helps a ton.
Very useful learning tool
I use this program every day to work on note and chord reading, and ear training for notes, intervals, and chords. It is very flexible. Sometimes the user has to think through the setup of an exercise to match the goal of the user, but this is what you would expect for an app this flexible. I recommend this app to all my friends. Thanks Tenuto!
Great but buggy
In terms of well designed exercises that help you master music theory quickly, this app cannot be beat. It is pretty bare bones - there is no cutesy owl offering encouragement, and there is no internal algorithm that tries to gauge your current ability - so you do need to be self-motivated and know your own strengths and weaknesses to get the most out of it. But it offers so much control over what you are (or are not) learning, you never waste your time on concepts that you have already mastered.
It is, unfortunately, quite buggy and often becomes unresponsive in various ways. The sound cuts out, or it sometimes requires two or more taps to register an answer, or it freezes up entirely. More annoyingly, quitting the application doesn’t usually solve the problem. I often have to completely reboot my iPad. If the bugs get squashed, this will be a perfect, 5 star app for me.
I use it all the time
I’m a piano teacher and I use it all the time with my students. I don’t understand some of the negative comments. For the price, I find it a very dynamic and thorough tool for testing yourself and others. It Does have timers. I don’t understand when some say it doesn’t. It has a challenge mode. For beginners, you can set parameters on how difficult you make each challenge. I highly recommend it as a tool for learning music and testing your knowledge.
Great for sight reading
I have been learning piano but am still struggling to read music efficiently. This app has been perfect for testing myself because it provides instant and accurate feedback. My only wish is that there was an option to recognize chords by their names (Ex: A7 or G minor).
The best
One time I was driving back from Florida with my girlfriend who knows nothing about music theory and in the 18 hour car ride, I taught her everything she needs to know through this app
