goodEar Chords - Ear Training

This is a very good app for musicians all of those who want to become. All the apps from the developer are very complete and my contact with the support was very fast and helpful. I can only Recomment all of that your training apps. They are not very nice to look at, though.

Schönes Interface.. Gut gemacht mit dem Piano und dem multiple Choice. Und auch die große Auswahl an Akkorden... Top! Best of its Kind!

This entire series is a great alternative to games when I need a five-minute break. I hope the developer decides to bring it current with the latest iOS.

Well-designed app.

Works. Gives you a way to test and learn that even a beginner can dive into. Recommended improvements - flash the chord played with the answer ideally using marcotone's associative colour wheel giving each frequency in the octave it's own colour. Also, just because the middle is wrong or not answered yet, don't count the last wrong. The middle is the hardest to isolate. But telling then the next is wrong too is in my opinion a bad idea - perfect pitch is difficult, so focus on what people get right when possible to not discourage users.

Never got any formal music training. I had a hard time to 'feel' music. This app really helps.

Good for helping u play your minors and majors on the piano

Great app for ear training. Much more musician friendly and logical than other ear apps ive tried. I like that you can select the chords to work on. I started with a couple chords and was able to quickly add more by spending 15 minutes a day. I'd give it five stars, except it doesn't play through my headphones. I thought it was my headphones at first, but they work just fine on all my music and other apps. Also don't understand why the combined app is more expensive than all of them purchased separately.

This would be a spectacular tool if one thing were added and one changed: - First, the constant reordering of answer buttons is both meaningless and irritating. It's not a coordination game. Adds a level of completely wasteful frustration. - Second, the ability to lock the exercise into a specific harmonic context. I really don't get why everyone misses on this one. Tonal music, which is the point here, is neither played nor heard as random splatters of chord varieties. The point of all this is the relationships between chords and voicing WITHIN A TONAL/HARMONIC CONTEXT. Training outside that context slows learning and decreases useful (musical) results. Why is that so hard to understand?

I would give this app 5 stars if it would also tell me what the chord is. When i'm reading a fake book all I see is the note and the chord name. Tell me that it's C major, or F minor, etc. That little bit of extra info would make this app twice as useful.
