| 2024-02-17 |  | | 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. |
| 2023-02-01 |  | | 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. |
| 2022-09-26 |  | | 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. |
| 2022-06-19 |  | | Horrible description. If I hadn't already had years of lessons (just wanted to be better at theory) is be very confusing. It doesn't tell you when you've ended a lesson and can move on it just keep giving questions for infinity until you back out. Then it charges you to get to the good stuff after spending ssi that time thinking it unlocks after completing the 1st section. Horrible. |
| 2022-04-04 |  | | Exactly what I needed for drilling intervals. Got premium and I can even make custom drills. Well after spending more time with it as a guitarist I wish I could disable bass clef for melodic dictation. And make custom exercises but the former would be more important. |
| 2021-02-22 |  | | Terrific app. I had piano lessons decades ago. I can play chopsticks, but friends can get a Pepsi while I'm trying to read one bar. I have serious work ahead, & I also want to improve my ear training. I can do them simultaneously by turning the sound on - how great is that? The lessons are in logical order. Both the theory & the exercises are easily understood. I love seeing the correct answer, not just an error message. I also love the library, as I'm beginning to learn modes. Thanks! 🙏🙏🙏 |
| 2021-01-18 |  | | Doing level 1 and I like how it states the basic facts for that level and the practical tests which you can repeat. I was expecting a next button or a complete button for conclusion of a practical exercise but they keep going until you close them. |
| 2020-11-16 |  | | If you're new or rusty, it's a waste of money. The explanations are the absolute bare minimum and the quizzes are incredibly difficult... because you weren't taught almost anything. If and when you get to Sixteenth Notes and Rests, you'll see what I mean. You get two sentences describing the process and then get hit by a quiz that's nothing but questions with 10-12 notes and rests in a single bar. It's not fun or engaging. It's just frustrating. Skip if you're trying to build a daily habit |
| 2020-08-02 |  | | Started to evaluate this app., but was put off very early on when in the beginners exercises it told me to place a minim after an initial quaver in a bar of 4-4. Anyone with a modicum of music knowledge would know that if a two beat note follows a half note in 4-4, the mid-point of the bar should be acknowledged by tieing a dotted crotchet to a quaver. |
| 2020-07-10 |  | | For students learning scales for the first time, it would be helpful to have scale ID and scale construcion exercise based just on major scales and then major and natural, harmonic, and melodic minor scales. The modal (exotic) scales could then be saved for more asvanced students. |
