Ratings and Reviews
Perfect for the intermediate musician
This app is perfect if you already have a working knowledge of basic to intermediate music theory. Between sight reading training, ear training, chord identification, and more, it’s a perfect set of drills to help keep yourself sharp. I’ve been doing a handful of drills every morning for 30 minutes and can already feel the effects in my playing, composing, and arranging.
Best of all, there’s no ridiculous subscription model - you’re one and done, no ads, no locked extra content.
Folks giving this 1 star may be looking for a beginner app, which this is not remotely trying to be and shouldn’t be judged as.
Perfect App.
You can’t find a better more straight to the point way to learn theory.
Let’s hope it’s as good as the website
It’s been a day since I got it. It works well. Nice.
