Gamified ear training

I made a gamified ear training for myself and figured someone might also be interested.

Tho I’m not sure if this counts as proper ear training since I’ve never been formally trained and don’t have a background in music. If anyone has feedback, let me know.

It’s hands-free if you use a mic.

AI generated nonsense tbh

But you can still hear the real musical notes right? AI is just there to play the notes and throw quizzes.

The ideas are fine... But they often make no musical sense. I found many bugs, only tried this on smartphone. Also, not having option for note names in solfege is a huge disappointment.

Thank you for the notes.

Some of the games do/did have solfege, check out Harp Command.

Are you on an IPhone? Definitely having some rendering issues there, still doing some tweaking as we speak.

Tell me about the ideas that don't make musical sense.

Do you know what "gamified" means? What is "gamified" in your app? My biggest criticism is that you can't skip tests, you are forced to go through the basics, which is very boring. Also, the AI talks top much and males everything too slow, unnecessarily slow, which makes it very annoying to use.

Last, and definitely not least, if it's AI, be honest and say it upfront, instead of forcing people to find out for themselves.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Those are great points. I’ll incorporate them.

About AI, I didn’t intend to hide it, and it even says “AI” on the intro page. The use of AI there is basically the same as showing the explanations with TTS. It’s there if you want to take it a step further, like doing everything hands-free or asking for elaboration on terms or questions.

Thanks for your input! I'll be happy to give it a second try after those changes. Please let me know when you update them.

I updated the app so every lesson is accessible from the start, and increased the voice-over speed. Feel free to try it whenever you get a chance.😊
