Latest reviews of Piano Ear Training app for iPhone and iPad
It is great to see that recognising a note improves with trainig! Seeing a graph on statistical improvement and saving the progress of different persons would be a great improvement.
Please put more intervals and more kinds of ear training
It is really amazing app and very helpful
The app doesnt seem to be adapted to ipads. The keys are too big. There is no function to fit more keys onto the screen. The scrolling on the keyboard doesnt work.
I read the instructions and turn the volume up as loud as I can in "pitch" but no matter what it will not make a sound and it keeps criticizing me! Its horrible. Hate it. FIX IT.
