Complete Ear Trainer

At least completely didn’t work for me.

Learning by ear mystifies me, even after years of lessons. I tried a few apps but they didn’t help me much since they had such computerized sounds. Was I ever excited to find the harp sound on this app! My score went up almost immediately and it is helping me to hear the difference so much more easily since this is the instrument I play. Great motivation to keep me coming back and learning.

Amazing , bravo!

I’m a professional classical musician and this is the best ear training app I’ve ever used. This one is easily the best to date. My only requests are 1) that they go back to the old leaderboard format. This new internal leaderboard system requires an account to be created and there are no people on the leaderboards anymore when there used to be thousands. 2) the melodic dictations start with a cadence to give you the key and sound like Melodies from a normal piece of music (at least for the earlier stages). Right now the Melodies sound random and it’s hard to find a tonal center. But the best thing about this app is it’s difficulty, so maybe it’s better to do dictations without this and to solely rely on intervals.

Helped me immensely and I have been a musician for a long time. I wish I had had this forty years ago when I first started playing. Do yourself a favor and get this app. (By the way, I am not even sure if I have ever written a review for an app, maybe at some point in the distant past.)

Title. For example, in the "chords and degrees" exercise, would it kill the devs to give the chord changes more realistic voice leading? The chords are all close-position and jump around in a very unrealistic way.

This is a very sophisticated app! The best ear training I’ve used. Challenging yet well laid out. Bravo to the developers!!!

Error. Over and over and over again. Nice program, if you can get it to open.

I got all the way through “Easy Mode” and then started “Classic Mode,” which is definitely more difficult. There, I am stuck in Level 1 (of 4), specifically on Chapter 4, Major and Minor Chord Inversions. I can easily distinguish between triad inversions presented in melodic (arpeggio) form, but cannot do it when presented in harmonic (chord) form. I have probably tried 100 times or more. I think the problem is that I am hearing overtones of the piano, rather than just the notes struck. In any event, I wish the app creators or someone would provide some help getting past this point. Frustrated

Wow. This app is changing my world! I’ve been in composing classes and in awe of all the students who just hear the chord types off the bat. That seemed like such an unattainable dream. I have been using this for about five weeks now and the results are astounding. I got stuck on phase two in “easy mode” for about ten days, trying to distinguish between harmonic fourths and fifths. I tried about a half hour a day and got so frustrated and felt so stupid. But one day I had a breakthrough and can hear SO much better! Chords and relationships that were opaque are crystal clear now. This is really helping my composing and the pitch when I sing. It’s also really helping me retain melodies that I write for much longer. Now that I can hear all the jumps in them, my brain can stop floundering and remember so much more. This app was EXACTLY what I needed and will highly recommend it to my friends.
