During the modules that ask questions but are labeled lessons, an example would be the second lesson; there should be a predetermined number of questions. I sat there answering it well over 80+ times not wanting to back out before it was complete, but then it said complete once I chose to back out.

I would rate five stars if the practice exercise section didn't have a lot of drills that weren't covered in the learn section. I was forced to look elsewhere to learn the knowledge needed to complete the drills. 3.5 stars would be my overall rating because the drills really were pretty good otherwise.

Very good for basic music theory, with lots of different types of exercises. More advanced topics are in their "MyEarTraining" app. The 'Interval' and 'Chord' 'Construction' exercises are tricky. You must select "no acc." for every note that does not have an accidental. Could have been avoided by simply listing all note choices (with and without sharps or flats). Instead of selecting two buttons for every note, only one would be needed. 'Time Signature' and 'Rhythm' content is not easy to find.
