The best ear training app
This is by far the best ear training. I’ve been playing piano for over 8yrs but still struggle with songs, knowing the chords for songs. Although new to this app but I’m already enjoying n learning a lot. Highly recommend it
Encrusted with lengthy ads
Be prepared to wait and be bored. You will spend as much time watching distracting videos as you are practicing. Just isn’t useful. Lasted less than 5 minutes on my phone.
problem logging in with apple account
I subscribe to the annual pro package but can't use it, every time I run the application, my account is logged out, then I log back in, the application is stuck at the word "loading"
Too many ads!!!!
The app is fine it just plays waaay too many ads. It really messes up my ability to concentrate on sounds when an ad with disco music pops up playing louder than the sounds from the app itself. Plus sometimes the ads don't give a way to close them and you have to restart the app. In first 5 minutes of using the app I had 4 ads pop up and had to restart the app twice. Very disappointing.
Great app…but soooo expensive!!
I’ve said it all. Bloody EXPENSIVE.Not everybody has 30€ to spend on an app. And it’s not like some apps with lots of carefully written texts, embedded videos/sounds and so on and so forth… apps for specialists made by specialists. No…none of that. Too bad, really. And by the way, 6 years ago, a user asked for a translation in French. The answer was « we’re considering adding more languages ». SIX years later, the app is STILL ONLY in English!!! And last but NOT LEAST, $19.99 is not €29.99 in Europe. Yes, we’re Europeans but we’re not dumb….. And as everybody can see, nobody answers here. Great customer service, that’s for sure!!
Excellent
Use this everyday, I think it’s really helping me develop my ear training. Would like to have a custom quiz section of any notes I choose. It would also be cool if there could be a mode where I can practice 100 or more notes in a row without the chance of failing so I don’t need to stop. Love how it works though, thanks guys.
Bait and switch
I bought this app - with no ads - only to have ads added back in and be informed that I must subscribe for my purchase to work. I bought this app less than a year ago. I’m all for the move to subscription services, but this is a dishonest way to do so. Edit: actually, this is a violation of App Store guidelines, under 3.1.2(a): “If you are changing your existing app to a subscription-based business model, you should not take away the primary functionality existing users have already paid for. For example, let customers who have already purchased a “full game unlock” continue to access the full game after you introduce a subscription model for new customers.”

This app do not have repeatable. So hear only once and you have to figure it out in your mind. Please at least give us some repeat function
The Quiz keys don’t even work
I just tried to play the first quiz and sometime it registers the wrong key, even if the right key is highlighted!! What a frustrating experience. I would not recommend getting Pro as the quality of the app is not worth the money at this point.
Good app, but still get ads after buying pro
It’s a good app and I like it a lot. Taking two stars off because I’m paying for pro, but still get ads sometimes :/
Wonderful concept
Not sure about value for money as I’m still using the free app. But it doesn’t seem too expensive for a year’s worth of musical training.
Payment structure changes constantly.
Paid for the app originally for no adds. Then even with paid app the developers added back in adds. Now they are looking for a “pro” subscription to give back the features that were originally in the paid app. Very disappointed. Even if they wanted to do a version 2.0 but let me keep the original app I would have been happy and maybe even bought the new app. Other apps have done this for transparency. But this removed features just to change more.
Great app, one missing feature would be great!
This app is great I love being able to practice my ear, but as a pro user I would love to have a casual mode. You can just choose what keys to practice and you can play that mode forever without worrying about losing three stars.
?
I have a subscription. But I still need to watch the ad. And I can't use training mode.
Good for beginners. Kind of frustrating
Great concept. Been using this for a few weeks now and I’m at level 10. Two things that I can’t stand about this app: 1) It keeps logging me out of pro mode and I have to restart the app to get it to work again. Very annoying. 2) Why can’t I repeat lines of multiple notes? It’s very frustrating when you’re first starting out and trying to guess four notes in a row correctly because you’ll take a few seconds to get the first two notes right and by then, you’ve already forgotten how the next two notes sounds, so doing four notes in a row is really hard.
Awesome
Really great for ear training I thought I was good at it then tried this app and found I really wasn’t but practice makes perfect
Ads every few seconds. Shame on you.
Downloaded during “free” discount. Only to find incredibly ad ridden app. Lame.
Bugs on new update
iPhone 7 iOs 12.2
Upset by this update
Though the UI seems to be cooler, now you need to pay for the training features.
Great for anyone
It doesn’t waste time in teaching you new things or blocking the minimal things to learn
Good idea, poor implementation
Exercises in this app are designed to improve your absolute pitch if you already have one. For rest of the world it’s useless. On day 3 it asks you to replay series of 4 nodes by ear - it’s impossible without previous musical education or being very gifted. On day 6 it asks you to differentiate between 3 octaves - be realistic, it’s not going to happen. This app is not based on any research how pitch recognition can be improved. Provided exercises have uneven difficulty progression and pointless to anybody without already decent pitch recognition. Waste of time and money. It has nice and childish user interface - that’s why all these 5 star reviews.
Too many ads!
This is my second review. First one was a 5 star cause I love this app and recommended it to so many people. However, recently there has been too many ads in between of the quizzes that makes focusing very hard! I understand the company needs to make some money but I’d rather pay for the app instead of watching those annoying ads and use the app for free! Please fix this or offer a payable version without advertisements!
Good but clear bugs
It’s a good start and I’m enjoying the app but there are several very obvious bugs, such as the replay button in chord training not working properly, and the letter buttons before taking a chord quiz making no sense. Hope the developer goes through and plays with everything before releasing an update. The start-up is kinda laggy and there’s no way to permanently bypass the welcome bear. There are obvious ways one would want to extend the features and it’s hard to imagine why the developer wouldn’t just put in a tiny more effort to include them. Why stop at a 4 notes/chords limit? Why not allow for chords in different octaves, or on different instruments?
I hate this app...
....because it reveals just how bad i am at this. But i like that feeling of defeat. Not in the moment mind you, but it offers a unique opportunity to open a locked door of potential. I’ve practiced daily for about two weeks now, pulling out my hair and screaming in pain and agony, and i haven’t even completed my first test yet. Bottom line: get this app if this is something you want to accomplish. Deep down I want to be able to identify notes by hear, and while i despise every second of it now, the rewards will be bountiful and worthwhile. Will update this review soon. 01/29/19
No audio on iPhone X
Any idea?
Nice app
Dear developper, Do you envisage a French translation ?
Great app concept, but no option for no facebook? lame.
I don’t use facebook anymore, and even deleted my profile at the end of last year. Why is there no alternate option for keeping track of my progress? Not the best decision to make for you users, especially in light of all the data manipulation facebook has done. It makes me inherently suspicious of this app developer. I like what this app wants to do, but i might not continue to use it if this is how things are gonna be.
Simple But...
Effective. When I finish all the courses I’ll definitely update this.
doesn’t work at all
i have an iphone 5s and there is zero sound when it says it is playing a note so i can’t use the app at all
This app has potential!
This is a really good app for people who have perfect pitch to practice developing it. Also, it is good for people who want to develop very good relative pitch. HOWEVER: There is no way to turn off the note names under the piano keys, which I find HUGELY ANNOYING. It’s cheating to have them there. For those of us with perfect pitch, we do not need those note names there. It isn’t necessary. So, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE find a way for us to turn them off if we don’t want them there. I know it is possible to do that! And, it would be helpful also to those with relative pitch to have the option of turning them off to challenge themselves and test themselves. In a college or music conservatory ear training class, we are NEVER given any note names in melodic dictation. All the class gets is a key signature(which is not necessary for people with perfect pitch). Then, the teacher plays the melody while the students write down what they hear. There is advanced dictation called harmonic dictation and that starts out with just the melody and bass parts played and students write that down. By the end of of the year, students are taking 4 part harmonic dictation in both major and minor keys, and writing the chord progressions in proper Roman numeral, etc form. Also, please create an option to change to Roman numerals and proper inversion symbols and other advanced chord symbols such as the N6(Neapolitan 6th) chord that classical musicians use for the chord dictation. Music theory majors in classical studies use those. Jazzers and other non-classical musicians use the other type that you have used. Thank you for taking the time to consider my requests! I hope to see them added! Great start to this app! It has a lot of potential! I will give it 5 stars if the things I mentioned are added. Thank you!
Great app for casual training
Edit: A week after I first posted this, developers have a new update that addressed the complaints from my review. Maybe convenient timing, but you can’t ask for better support than that. It’s simple, intuitive, and I’m only partway through the lessons and noticing improvement. I appreciate the ability to randomize octaves, and now you can see stats without having to log into facebook. If you’re interested in ear training I’d say it’s worth the price. My biggest complaint is the lack of options in the training section. You can only train with one note at a time, when I want to be able to customize which notes it cycles through so I can try to identify multiple notes simultaneously. Making your own lessons would also be a nice feature.
Good app but could be great
Hey guys! This is a great app and helps with ear training a lot! I unfortunately can’t stop myself at one lesson a day lol! Only issue I have is having a playback button on quizzes! My brain may know the notes but can’t always remember the sequence they come in! Sometimes it takes me more than once to hear it! Especially between octaves! Otherwise it’s a good app! Thanks for creating this!
Good musicians and great concept
I using this app for a while and it’s help me a lot, I can’t stop using it and it’s fun with lessons and training mode! I think it’s great for musicians to develop their pitch with simple notes and octaves with piano, guitar and bass sounds. I hope you updates new feature soon.
Great app of ear training
This app has a simplest design, lessons and easy to learn. I really enjoy learning EarForge!
