Features & Capabilities

Functional Ear Trainer is an accessible ear-training tool based on Alain Benbassat's method. It teaches you to recognize tones by their function within a musical key, a skill that helps with transcribing, composing, improvising, and playing with others.

It doesn't matter who you are or what instrument you play—beginners to virtuosi can develop a stronger ear with just 10 minutes of daily practice. The companion mobile app extends the learning beyond the browser, helping you apply what you hear to real music and gain confidence in playing by ear across different keys and styles.

User Reviews

Most reviews praise the core ear-training value: noticeable improvement, an easy-to-use interface, and a solfège-based approach with melodic dictations. Common drawbacks center on pricing and subscription concerns, the lack of progress tracking or performance data, and insufficient initial guidance on how to practice or compare tones. Some users feel features are gated behind paywalls or outdated, while others want continued expansion (e.g., chords). Overall, it’s effective for many, but value depends on willingness to pay and feature needs.

Pros

Noticeable improvement in pitch recognition with regular practice
Easy to use and navigate
Solfège-based method with customizable practice and melodic dictations
Portable, on-the-go training suitable for short sessions

Cons

Pricing concerns: value vs cost and subscription model; some ads misrepresent free features
No progress tracking or performance data; progress not saved across sessions
Insufficient initial guidance on how to practice and compare tones
Out-of-the-box features feel outdated or gated behind paywalls; some features locked behind subscription

absolutely sublime. simple and to the point, no ads, well thought out ui and progression through the levels. This is what every app should be like. Hoping some day they add a chord progressions level

The only problem I have with this app is that the notes given to you in a lesson are too random. You can go through a lesson for a single note, and not hear it once. Developers: please stop using a completely random value to determine what note should be played next. I would recommend dividing the number of notes being tested by the number of questions the user is given. Use the quotient to determine the minimum number of times each note is played. Then randomly assign the remainder (ideally without adding to the same note twice). Then randomly determine the order of the questions. Seriously, I would like to be able to practice “Fa”, and “Sol”, but most of the quizzes give me “Do” nearly 50% of the time.
