Been playing around with this for the last 20 minutes. As a beginner player there is a lot to love here. Mostly want I want right now is a note trainer to learn the notes on the clef and an interval trainer to help my ear. Check and check. There's also TONS of advanced features like chord progression tools, scale trainers and other stuff I don't even understand. And the interface is great. This is seriously the best 1.50 I spent all week. Awesome dude. Thanks for your app!

This is a very good app if you want to learn music or how to identify chords and intervals. But there is a glitch. When you're trying to identify two notes, like a perfect fifth, sometimes the note you need to hit on the piano keys goes into the next octave and you really don't have much of a way to get there because if you use the arrows it leads you to the wrong octave and it's listed as wrong

Excellent app. Has helped me in my ear training a lot. Easy to use. Many options to choose from. I love that it's free too. But I do need to add bugs I've noticed in the rhythm training section.. If I train with 8th and fitted 8th notes, the app often goes back to the previous "miscellaneous" selection menu. If I use triplets the metronome is out of time. I can even get this bug with simply using quarter notes and triplet notes.
