I use this in five minutes chunks while waiting for the bus, etc. and it’s fantastic. It’s straightforward and utilitarian, which I appreciate. I also really like that it’s a one-time purchase to unlock all features. The preview will let you know if this app is for you or not. I feel like there aren’t many apps that feel like a useful tool, since so many are designed to look slick and are glitchy on the back end. None of that here. Can’t recommend enough.
Well Designed, but...

In general, I am rather impressed with the application and how it can teach you to treat music using the app.I paid for the app because it says in the description of the product that the microphone can be used so that the user can practice reading music on their instrument.I understand that the microphone might not pick up everything, but I have repeatedly run into an issue where I keep hitting the correct note on my instrument (a mandolin) without the application recognizing it. The only way past it is for me to hit the wrong note. It seems that it is not having a problem with the microphone, but instead something going on with the software.I reached out to the developers to ask them about the issue, and they quickly responded, which is a very positive thing. Unfortunately, their advice was not to use my instrument, but instead to use the application.There are a great number of apps out there designed to help someone learn how to read music, and I thought this application's ability to detect the note being played on an instrument, set it apart from all the others. Sadly, that is not the case.
Great user interface

This app has the best user interface of all the music note trainers I have tried. The training modes are good, and the progression is a good pace for me. I’m focused on piano, so I’m glad the other clefs are available, but not forced on me. I wish the app displayed the treble clef above the base clef when using both. I also wish it kept track of progress from one try to the next so I could see my improvement over time.
Amazing app for improving sight reading

I've been using this for many months now. Thanks to this app, I figured out how to sight read Bass clef and Treble clef at the same time, and I can immediately recognize every key signature. This app treats sight reading like a game, very novel idea. Highly recommend musicians learning to read music notes check this app out, it'll teach them to read very fast!
