## Description

This app is designed as a supplemental for students to practice ear training in music theory. Currently, the app has 4 different training modules:

- Sight Reading
- Intervals (Melodic and Harmonic)
- Chords (Regular, 7th, basic progressions)
- Dictation (Rhythmic, melodic)

Right now, we have 2 modes for each section:

- Practice Mode (untimed, score is tracked)
- Survival Mode (timed, end score is recorded in high scores)

In both modes you will be practicing your ability to recognize notes and note formations. 
Supported Devices: iPhone 5, 5s, 6, 6+ **This app is optimized for iPhone 5 or higher. Requires iOS 7.1 or later.

## Review summary

Pros include strong dictation/ear-training features, a broad set of practice modes (intervals, chords, rhythm, sight-reading), and score tracking with useful progress monitoring. Cons repeated across reviews include a too-restrictive timer, melodic-dictation range limitations, questionable harmonic/content accuracy, and various bugs that affect playback and scoring. Users also want more feedback on incorrect answers and greater customization. Overall it’s praised for potential and usefulness but criticized for content quality, reliability, and adjustability.

### Pros

- Dictation/ear-training features are strong and useful.
- Broad range of practice modes (intervals, chords, rhythm, sight-reading).
- Score tracking and progress monitoring.
- The app is enjoyable and helpful for daily practice.

### Cons

- Timer is too restrictive; options to turn off or adjust are missing.
- Melodic dictation range is limited (notes beyond the keyboard range aren’t accessible).
- Content quality concerns: chord progressions and harmonic rules are inconsistent or incorrect.
- Bugs and reliability issues (rhythm dictation bug, occasional crashes, incorrect scoring).
- Lack of feedback on wrong answers and limited ability to compare answers.
