■ A tuning guide for your first Double Stop questions In the first 3 Unison and Octave questions, a pitch ruler appears on the left while you play, showing how far you are from the target line. When the two notes sound together, ripples spread out, and "Beats: fast / slow / gone" tells you when you are perfectly in tune. ■ A brand-new Tutorial Practice on the same screen as Double Stop: listen to the example, watch how it's done, tune it yourself, then press GO. When you finish, you can jump straight into Double Stop. ■ Also - Fixed a slight finger slip at the moment of lifting that could turn a correct answer into a miss - Fixed question names and result text being cut off with larger text sizes - Fixed the spelling of "Excellent!" on a 3-star clear - The note on the purchase screen no longer breaks in the middle of a word - Minor fixes and stability improvements

■ Play by Ear fix If you replayed the example partway through a melody and then started over from the first note, correct notes could be marked wrong. Replaying the example now lets you start over from the beginning. ■ Also - "How to play" in Settings now opens a new guide page in your language - The Mimic Taiko icon in What's New now shows the same taiko drum as its card - On narrow screens, the descriptions on the PRO screen now fit neatly - Minor fixes and stability improvements

■ Bass clef sight reading A new stage: read the low staff and play it on the keys. Great for bass, cello and the piano's left hand. ■ Flats in sight reading Sight reading (treble and bass clef) now has a category for notes with flats. ■ A new piano sound The piano in Play by Ear and Sight Reading has been rebuilt to sound much closer to a real piano. Piano is now also a tone in the Low Register stage. ■ Also - Sharp and flat signs on the staff are now drawn at a clearer size and shape - Returning to the menu from the results screen no longer flashes the game screen - The PRO screen now lists every stage that PRO unlocks - Minor fixes and stability improvements

■ Now in Polish and Portuguese (Brazil) The app is now available in Polish and Brazilian Portuguese. You can also switch languages from Settings > Language. ■ Help in your language FAQ and How to play now open in your language for Italian, Polish, Portuguese, German and Korean too. ■ Share The link you send is now the app page in your language. ■ Also - Minor fixes and stability improvements

■ Achievement badges (57 of them) Badges now collect themselves from how you play. Open the sheet from the top right of the home screen. - Landed / Conquered: land on any stage you have played. Earn at least one star on every problem there and it grows into Conquered (progress shows as "38 / 120") - Skill: how often you take three stars, plus each stage's own kind of perfect (every hit PERFECT in Rhythm, never tearing the scoop in Goldfish, a flawless Ear Copy...) - Keep going: consecutive days, morning practice, weekly challenge attendance - Explore: tuner, metronome, columns, sounds, transposition, rearranging the home cards, and more Badges you have not earned are listed too, with their conditions, so the sheet doubles as a map of features you have not tried. ■ Perfect-score celebration When every problem in a category reaches three stars, a big hanamaru stamp and fireworks appear - and now it says what you achieved: "All 12 questions in Perfect 5th at three stars". ■ The challenge's "practise your weakest" is easier to find The disclosure control on the personal-best breakdown card was too small to notice. It is now a proper button. Open it and you can go practise the interval you missed most. ■ Harmonics: no more time limit The 12-second cut-off that counted as a wrong answer is gone. Take as long as you need. ■ Also - Review and Blog on the developer page now sit side by side - Fixed prices sometimes not appearing when the paywall opened - Minor fixes and stability improvements

■ New stage: Drone Tune phrases note by note over a low note that never stops, the way a bagpipe does. Your guide is Macfurya, the Scottish branch of the Ebifurya clan. - Categories are organized by tonic (the drone note). Within a category the drone stays put while you work through shifts, chords and the bagpipe scale - The first 5 problems on C are free; the rest unlock with PRO - If an alarm or a call interrupts, the drone resumes when you come back ■ New sound: Bagpipe The bagpipe chanter made for the Drone stage is now available in Sound Settings for every stage, double stops included. Its beating is easy to hear. Tap the instrument image in Sound Settings to audition it. ■ Also - With transposition (in Bb / Eb / F / A), tonic names now show "in F" etc. so you can tell they are written pitch - Fixed note-name chips being squashed and unreadable - Minor fixes and stability improvements

Fixed minor issues and improved stability.

Note names for transposing instruments If you play trumpet, clarinet, saxophone or horn, you can now read note names the way your instrument does. Choose in Bb / in Eb / in F / in A under Settings → Transposition, and every screen that shows a note name — tuner, double stops, chords, scales, ear copy — switches to that reading. The sound and the judging stay at concert pitch, so the just-intonation chords you tune to are unchanged. • Settings → Transposition (free) • While anything other than concert pitch is selected, the game header shows "in F" and so on • The tuner shifts its octave numbers to match the written pitch Share it with your ensemble Once you have been playing for a while, returning home now offers a way to pass the app on. The link opens a page that works on both iPhone and Android and explains how to use it in rehearsal, including what to do in the first three minutes. Also • Scale and arpeggio note names now follow your note-name setting (English, German, Italian) as well • The tuner can hold a reference pitch like a tuning fork • Fixed a bug where, with many announcements, the Close button was pushed off screen and the list could not be closed or scrolled • Fixed a crash that could happen right after opening the support screen • Added a personalised-ads consent setting for people in the EU and the UK

New stage: Harmonics When one string vibrates twice, three times as fast, the pitch climbs a staircase. This stage asks you to name that nth partial on the keyboard while you watch the string move. You start with partials 2–4 — where you touch a guitar at the 12th, 7th and 5th fret — and add one step at a time, all the way to shuffled questions. Eight steps in all, across twelve fundamentals. The "What are harmonics?" lesson lets you move the string and hear it work. Tap a dot to compare how far the notes a piano does not have (the 7th, 11th and 13th partials) sit from equal temperament. Now follows your text size setting Until now, making text larger in Settings did nothing inside the app. Home, lists, results and the game screens all follow it. A layout bug that squashed and overlapped the descriptions on the settings screen is fixed too. You can tell when "Slowly" is on In the tuning screens, "Slowly" makes the pitch barely move as you drag. People were hitting that without noticing and feeling the note would not go up, so a coloured bar now sits at the top while it is on. Tap the bar to turn it off. Also • Fixed a case where the tuner stopped picking up input after returning from another app • Contact now goes through an in-app form instead of email

The tuner now works with bass The low E on a 4-string bass (41.2 Hz) and the low B on a 5-string (30.9 Hz) were below the tuner's range, so the needle never moved. Both are now detected. Audio interfaces work too, even when your instrument is not plugged into input 1. On interfaces where the DI is the second input, the tuner used to hear only silence. You can see which input is in use The screen now shows "Input: iPhone Microphone" or the name of your interface, so you can tell whether it switched over. It follows along when you plug and unplug.

New stage: Sight Reading Notes appear on the staff. Read them, then play them on the keyboard below. The white keys are labeled with their note names, so you can count lines and spaces even if sheet music is new to you. The fewer misses, the more stars. Four categories are free: Around Middle C, Notes on the Staff, High Notes & Ledger Lines, and Note by Note. Beyond them wait Sharps, Two Notes, Chords, and drills built from the upper and lower ranges alone. Nine categories, 1,020 exercises in all. No more exercises you can solve without reading When the same shape just slides sideways, or the notes only climb one step at a time, your fingers can answer without your eyes. Every category has been rewritten so that you have to read each note to move on. A bigger, clearer staff The staff no longer changes size from one exercise to the next, and the lines sit further apart.

Trill practice now actually gets you to the finish The mastery gauge counts total passes instead of consecutive ones. A single miss no longer empties it. Four passing phrases clear the exercise. Before this, the demo could cut in one phrase away from clearing and reset the gauge to zero, and it reappeared every time your anchor finger slipped and the rhythm check restarted. Both are fixed. If you ticked "Don't show this again," the demo no longer appears on its own while you practice. Trill is now readable in seven more languages German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). Screens that stayed in English — fingerings, interval names, the one-line tips — are now translated. Fixed screens where the "Background animation" setting did nothing In Silence, Mimic Taiko and Goldfish Scooping, the stars and lanterns kept moving even with the setting turned off.

New stage: Ear Copy A piano plays a short melody. Play it back on the keyboard. The trick is to follow the rise and fall by ear. One wrong note and the phrase starts over - and the example plays again, so you always get another listen. The button in the corner replays it whenever you want. Four categories - steps, leaps, longer phrases, and starting anywhere - stay on the white keys and are free to play. Beyond them are categories that use the black keys, plus well-known melodies from Twinkle Twinkle to Fur Elise: over 500 phrases in all. The home note is a button you can press any time, so you can find your bearings again whenever the key slips away. Polyrhythm feels better under the fingers Pads light up the moment you press them, and their colour tells you whether the hit landed. Fixed: Background animation setting had no effect on two stages Scale and Arpeggio kept moving even with the setting turned off. Fixed: Three cards showed their internal names in the card reordering screen

New stage: Trill Hold one finger down and tap with another, moving between two notes. Which fingers you use is up to you. Six fingerings are tracked separately - index and middle, middle and ring, ring and little, and more - so the stars show at a glance which pairing needs work. Tempos run from 40 to 80, with four rhythms per beat. What is scored is not raw speed but how even your presses and releases are. A new feel for every button The tap sound is lighter now, and the haptics are finer. Buttons that were missing haptics have them too. The tutorial has been redrawn The finger is a proper illustration, and it moves the way you really play: swipe up, lift, and start again from the bottom. Pick your instrument for the ranking Choose an instrument before you start a challenge. That choice stays in the challenge and never changes your everyday settings. Chord demo restored Pressing the demo button plays the chord itself again, as it did before. Thank you for the feedback.

See which question you are on Takoyaki, Scales, Arpeggios, Silence and Goldfish Scooping now show the question number, like "Question 3/12". You can tell at a glance whether "Next" moved you on or you are replaying the same one. iPad layout fixes: - The stars on the result screen are now centered - In Scales, the row of confirmed notes is no longer hidden behind the moon - In Double Stop and Moon, the question label at the bottom no longer overpowers the "note to match" badge - In the tutorial, Kakifurya, the speech bubble and the buttons are now sized for the larger screen Also: - Fixed a spot near the bottom center of the tutorial that did not make a sound when touched - Fixed the musical note being cut off in the listening expression Thank you for using Harmonize!

See the role of every note Double Stop, Moon and Low Register now show what each sounding note does in the chord — root, third, fifth and so on. Chord examples also play one note at a time and then all together, so it's easier to hear which notes are stacked. Ebifurya and Kakifurya: - Both close their eyes and listen while the example plays - Ebifurya's expression on the result screen now changes with your star count Columns added to Settings: Short reads about how sound works are now available inside the app, and more will follow. Also: - Fixed an issue where sound effects stayed quiet after playing Low Register - "Low Register" now appears in the what's new banner Thank you for using Harmonize!

Chord exercises corrected Fixed errors where some augmented and diminished triad exercises sounded a different chord, and one minor third exercise sounded a different interval. Those exercises now play the correct chord. Other improvements: - Mimic Taiko and Sound Maze now pause while Notification Center or another app is open - The position marker in the exercise list now follows the level you reach with Next Thank you for using Harmonize!

A new stage for the low end: "Low Register"! Tune intervals in the bass range — octaves, fifths, fourths and major thirds — the way a bassist checks pitch by ear. Every problem lands on a pure, beat-free interval, across the full chromatic range and four bass voices: double bass, electric bass, tuba and bassoon. - Octaves, fifths, fourths and thirds are free to play - The "beyond the octave" category (tenths, twelfths, two and three octaves) unlocks with PRO Other improvements: - Purchase restore is more reliable - Minor bug fixes Thank you for using Harmonize!

A new taiko drumming stage, "Mimic Taiko," arrives! Listen to the rhythm Sensei Murugai plays, then tap it right back — a call-and-response stage. From basic patterns to triple meter, triplets, sixteenths and syncopation: 5 categories and a generous 58 levels, all free to play. - Learn rhythm by feel with the listen, ready, mimic flow - The metronome pauses between questions so each one feels clearly separated - Added Italian language support Other improvements: - The "you are here" marker in each stage list now correctly points to the problem you played last - Minor bug fixes Thank you for using Harmonize!

Goldfish Scooping grows to 20 questions! The question book expands from 12 to 20. Later rounds pack up to 8 goldfish into the tub, putting your ear for timbre to the test. The advanced "Shadow Tub" stall is available with PRO. The Silent "Body Clock" stage also gets new touches: - A shooting star now crosses the night sky every so often - The mascot Bizen-Kurage joins the count-in - Right after the start, a millisecond stopwatch shows exactly how far your inner clock drifts Other improvements: - Added links to in-depth columns about tuning systems from the Chords, Scale and Silent stages - Added a Bizen-Kurage app icon (change it in Settings) - Fixed purchases not unlocking after approval with Family Sharing's Ask to Buy - Fixed sounds continuing after leaving the Goldfish Scooping screen - Minor bug fixes Thank you for using Harmonize!

We have significantly reworked our sounds. The piano, electric piano, guitar, and chord tones have been rebuilt for a more realistic, natural resonance. - You can now preview a tone the moment you select it. Melody stages also let you pick instruments intuitively from their illustrations. - Added a reverb effect. You can turn it on or off from Sound Settings. - Added a tone-change button to the Takoyaki stage as well. Look and feel improvements: - Redesigned the Settings screen with a calm, easy-on-the-eyes dark theme. - Added German and Korean. - On the rhythm result screen, we aligned the order of "Example" and "Your rhythm" to make comparing them clearer. - Reworked how locked categories are shown so it is easier to see what you can play. - Various minor bug fixes. Thank you for using Harmonize!

Take on polyrhythms — the new "Polyrhythm" rhythm stage is here! Tap different beats with your left and right hands. Start one hand at a time, then combine both. As you play on, the on-screen cues fade away until you play by ear alone — train your sense of rhythm under shimmering auroras. New free tools for daily practice: - Metronome: keep a steady tempo - Tuner: check your instrument's pitch on the spot Other improvements: - Pick rhythm drum sounds from instrument illustrations - Rearrange the home screen cards in any order you like - New content is now highlighted on the home screen - The game now resumes automatically after an alarm or phone call - Minor bug fixes Thank you for using Harmonize!

The tutorial got a complete makeover! Kakifurya now appears in person, chatting through speech bubbles as she teaches you how to play. New hints kick in when you get stuck, so first-timers can find the knack of pitch-matching much faster. In the Chords stage, badges now show each note's role in the chord (root, 3rd, 5th, 7th), so you can practice while learning what shapes the harmony. More improvements: - Volume sliders now respond the way your ears expect - The status bar (clock and battery) is now visible - Better takoyaki board layout on iPad - Minor bug fixes Thanks for using Harmonize!

You can now change the app icon! From Settings, pick any of six character icons — Ebifurya, Kakifurya, Murugai, Takoyaki, and two Unicchi designs. They are all free. We also refreshed the default icon with a new Ebifurya design. The characters got a visual upgrade too: brighter eyes, and a glossier look for Unicchi. We also redesigned the ad-removal and purchase screens for clarity, gave the weekly ranking a new look, and fixed several minor issues. Thanks for using Harmonize!

Three new stages are here! Scale Guess Name the notes of a flowing single-line melody by ear, do-re-mi style. Takoyaki Memory Flip the takoyaki and pair up the matching tones—a memory game of sound. Arpeggio Guess A chord is played note by note as an arpeggio. Catch each note in order. These three stages unlock together with a single one-time purchase (each one is free to try first). We also refreshed the iPad home screen layout and fixed minor issues. Thanks for using Harmonize!
