Perfect Ear: Music & Rhythm

Excellent app with lots of good theory. Free version is good, and the minimum amount of money needed for paid version is worthwhile. It is a little short on instructions, and certainly doesn't explain everything. However supplementing this with YouTube videos and AI generated answers to my questions, was a satisfactory solution! As the name suggests, this program focuses a lot on ear training, rather than other components of music.

Really great app for ear training! Super in depth explanations for everything. There is a paid version, but thats only for people that really want to advance their game and who would have to spend money somewhere anyway. Can help you learn plenty of amazing things with rhythm, chord progressions, perfect pitch, intervals, all for free. Definitely recommend, and if you ever do want to buy it, its a one time purchase for like 3 bucks that's totally worth it!

okay been using a couple days. I noticed a couple (insignificant) errors in written lessons that make me worry what other errors are present. Also, the voice interval training seems flawed. It is having me sing intervals but not telling me which interval it wants (between minor and major seconds) so I just have to guess. And sometimes a popup saying certain chords can't be played on certain instruments or something and it doesn't always go away, even if I close the app. love it mostly though

I love the convenience of this tool and I feel like it is helping me train my ear. You get exposure to lots of intervals side by side, then isolated, and theres timed drills for absolute pitch too! Im sure there is more Ive yet to try. That said, I can't help but think the Guitar sounds are just keyboard with a MIDI effect though. While thats not a deal breaker, it does feel like it takes away from the quality a bit. When I'm at work on break, I happily break this out to train my perfect ear!

Awesome except for that the scale singing is kinda eh, when it works, it's great. But the metronome sometimes is close enough to the pitch that it fails me even if I'm singing the right pitch. It also doesn't come in on the one, it comes in a bit before which is really annoying and kills the flow of your thought. If you can fix that then instant a five star

Very good lessons for pitch intervals. The calibration for metronome taps needs work though. I understand that Bluetooth devices affect the latency. I have calibrated without Bluetooth, and with, using only device speakers many times and many ways, and I cannot get it matched up no matter what I do. that is making the rhythm lessons useless. Other rhythm apps work better in this regard, even the other ones that require calibration.

I love this app!! I have become a much better musician because of it. I often recommend it to people who want to learn theory and ear training. The one feature I wish this app had was an option to change accidentals from sharps to flats. I use the fretboard trainer a lot, but me and everyone I play with thinks of accidentals as flats, not sharps. So it's hard and slow to get an intuitive understanding of the fretboard, practicing it the way I never use it in real-world applications.

really like this app. I love the pitch singing trainer. but now its no longer there. instead there is an activity inside of drills that just seems worse. before it was so intuitive. you could see in real time what you were singing as well as plunk a note on the virtual keyboard. now its just a drill that seems bland. if it's somewhere else, please let me know. id love to use that activity again.

Didn't realize I didn't correct my review. Didn't realize you could wait before starting the rhythm exercises at first, they had seemed to start abruptly but that was my own mistake. This is by far one of the best, most comprehensive music apps on the Play Store and I'd recommend it to anyone trying to master basic to intermediate theory. I very rarely buy anything on the Play Store, but I bought the full package for this.

I'm wanting to use this app for pitch training, but there's just not enough options. You can select the octaves, which is great, but you can't limit which notes in each octave (for example, eliminating the black keys). Further, three guesses is too leinient when you're really trying to drill it. You can change the number of guesses, but only to some presets which only go up (3, 5, 10, or infinite), meaning you can't be any more strict than the default.

I like the app, but a couple things that bother me. first, the samples used for the piano sound terrible. at times they dont even sound like they come from the same instrument. second, it would be nice if you could choose which note is being changed in the interval. ex. when doing harmonic descending, the higher note is the one that changes. would be cool if you could choose which note would change. or choose random

Great app, use it with all my students. I can't say enough good things about this. It's a simple to understand theory notebook close at hand, tons of exercises to work on whatever aspect of ear training you need help with, and you can build custom exercises to really work out your weak points. I bought the full exercise pack, as well as access to the customer exercise builder, and I think the total was $4. That. Is a bargain. UI is slick, and easy to understand and navigate, too.

I had this on my old phone and forgot I purchased it so that's cool it's unlocked. I found the rhythm exercises more finicky than other apps. The intervalic stuff is really good, but the sound is not the best. Edit- Can we remove the popup "some chords may not display" when using guitar sound? Also, statistics keep dropping for number correct. Overall very enjoyable. It's cool there are points, speed bonuses, statistics, achievements, and tons of content. Can't believe I forgot about this app!

Great exercises, and very thorough: each interval exercise has melodic going up, going down, and harmonic variants, and then the next level is them all mixed up. It's fun to keep track of points and records. Only downsides are that the sound bank could be higher quality (I paid for the nicer set), and it would be nice to have statistics or history on each exercise, and generally better way to keep track of improvement in scores. Overall, best one I've tried!

I use it every day. Easy to use and wanted to do an experiment where i did the app for 30 days straight and compared my abilities at the beginning and end of the 30 day period. The results are actually incredible lol. With just 10 or so minutes every morning, i vastly improved. At the beginning i could pick out intervals of octaves, tritones, and maybe perfect 4ths and 5ths. Now i can identify all ascending intervals with enough time to think through it. Haven't worked much on descending yet.

It's excellent for relearning music theory and the number of exercises for each category are abundant but I am not using it w/o other sources of learning. For some exercises, the theory parts explained for it, are slightly in need of more explanation. Maybe I'm missing something or trying to find an easy way to applying it. If you lose your phone, you are not allowed to continue should you download it again to your new phone. You must start from the beginning. That is painful and waste of time.

A time waster that isn't a waste of time! I find it sucks me in like any other game but after I see how much time I spent on it, I actually don't feel guilty, because I'm improving my ear (the other tenors at church will be glad). The only reason for shorting it a star is that it took me a long time to figure out the game play, like which buttons to touch (but I'm a programmer so I know it's not obvious how users will understand your interface).

Started learning music theory and piano during the pandemic (from absolute 0). AMAZING app. No need to get the paid upgrades for a good experience, but I got them now and it's been EVEN better. Very much recommend. One little thing is, I wish there was instructions for melodic dictation. What are those two chords I hear before dictation starts? I'm sure it's something very standard for this exercise but google didn't help me much in finding an answer :p

This app has a lot of great exercises and has done wonders for building aural skills! I do have two suggestions. 1. Have a music theory section that covers chord progressions more in-depth. I was a little lost when I got to the step progressions lessons and didn't have a lot of help to go off of online. 2. On the pitch trainer, please move the check circle off of the end of the keyboard! I've accidentally pressed the wrong key so many times instead of confirming my answer.

The app is well rounded, but the rhythm part of it is clunky. The metronome latency is off no matter how much tinkering I do. Some would say it's my "internal metronome" if you will, but being in band throughout most of school and being a musician for going on 8 years, I have confidence in my personal timing and music abilities.
