Better Ears - Ear Trainer App Reviews

I was attracted to this app because of the positive reviews, and I must admit the $15 price tag made me think this was going to be packed with goodies. However, after trying this out I would put a price tag of $1.99 on this, and not a cent more. I feel completely duped and ripped off, getting an app which plays chords and intervals (in cheap-sounding midi format), and keeps a running tab of how many you get right. This app is NOT worth the money, do not buy it if you have any sort of feel for what should come in a $15 app.

I was stoked about this app even though I thought the cost was high. I would have been satisfied, though, if it just worked like its supposed to. The program is buggy and has gotten worse the more Ive used it. Its a crapshoot whether it even plays the intervals. Im completely disappointed and the $15 price tag adds insult to injury. Find another ear training app.

Oh my God I just got completely ripped off. Should have read more of the reviews. I just bought this and its clear I made a mistake. The chords dont work at all! These people are selling a defective product. The sound is choppy and distorted and cuts in and out. Its useless. The intervals are cool but besides that and the chords (which as I said dont work) theres really not much here. Pitch and tempo? Give me a break. I just threw away $15. I dont know if theres any way I can get a refund but Im going to try, and if I cant Im going to complain to Apple.

I have used this a long time. I do not know what the other people dissing it are doing. Mine has never malfunctioned. It covers a lot of ear training. Ive seen some reviewers say that "this is testing, not learning." Of course, they must not have read about it before downloading. It is for ear training, not for theory. And, it is very good for learning to recognize intervals, chords, etc. You listen, you select what you think the interval is and it tells you which is correct. You listen more carefuly each time, and eventually, you get to recognize the chords and intervals by sound and hear how each is different and unique. If someone thinks there is something wrong with that, well, what can I say?

This latest update is amazing! Im even happier with the iPad version. The Wikipedia explanations are right where I need them and the interface is perfectly intuitive. Hats off to the design team!

If youre look to better your musical ear this is the app for you, I helps you hear the differences in pitches, chords, while helping you learn scales, intervals. If you want to hear better and have more knowledge in music theory this is a great app.

I am really impressed with this app! This is the best and most complete ear training app available. It is very well engineered and has been keenly crafted to meet the learning needs of all types of musicians. It is also a great teaching tool in and out of the classroom. It is fun for all of my music students, form the very beginner to the most gifted and advanced of ability. Definitely a great buy!

I love this app. But it used to have more options. When it was called Karajan, I could customize the difficulty to only include specific intervals or chords, which is very helpful when a specific interval is giving you trouble. And there is no option for harmonic intervals. Please consider adding these features for the next update. Thanks!

Many, or most, musicians need to know only one clef. I only need treble clef but keep getting problems on bass clef. I dont play bass or piano.

I’ve always really enjoyed this app. It’s been a great resource, although this current version is struggling to keep up with the current iOS. I’m sure we all would really appreciate an update.

Itd would be great if you added a section to practice different rhythms and time signatures!!

Just like the desktop Earmaster Pro, this app is great for ear training in IOS. But there is no harmony training in interval training mode which shock me, I cant believe that, Is that a designing fault?
