This group of apps are flat out the best thing I have found for learning to hear intervals and read sheet music and rhythm notation. You need all 3 apps for real they are so fantastic that it will be hard to put them down. It is so much harder to learn ear training than you might think this app helps so much. I honestly rate it in the top of its class. I love the apps

This is certainly a slick piece of software, but it fails to offer the gentle on-ramp that a beginner needs. I'm in only the third out of the EASY MODE's twelve chapters and for quite some time I've been unable to make any progress, nor even any improvement whatsoever, beyond this point. The app offers no useful help. To paraphrase the app's "in case of difficulty" section, "Yeah, ear training can be tough, so don't forget to take breaks as you keep pounding away at it." Thanks a lot.

This app progresses too fast and ends up discouraging you. It doesnt really offer any helpful tips or provide song examples if youre having trouble. Not everyone has a good ear for intervals (me included) and some of us need to work up to them slower. I simply cant get past separating 4ths and 5th harmonic intervals, the very low and high frequency ones sound too similar to me. I've just given up, even on easy mode, gonna use a different app
