Hi everyone.

The new iOS 11 is coming soon but sadly Right Note is beyond updating to run on it :(

The good news is that for the last months of its life I decided to give it out free :)

Its an educational app and a lot of musicians found it very helpful so its best for as much people to have a go with it instead of just "killing" it. If you will want to use it after the release of iOS 11 you have to save some device with an older iOS.

And if you like the app and would have gladly bought it for the full price but cant (as its free) you can check out my other apps: "Tangled FX" photo effect and "BaM Video Delay" sports app.

Thanks to all of you and have fun with Right Note.

ON-OFF switch not working ?
There is a small compatibility glitch with iOS 10 but there is a workaround:
- first TAP the switch to the state you want
- then DRAG the switch by the knob to the opposite state

Although the second step is counterintuitive this makes the TAP to get through the iOS to the app.

REVIEW BY Lhp1:
@@@@@ The best ear training app so far
I used to say that I would never spend more than 10 bucks with an app, but after trying the lite version I had to get this one. I love it, good job.

WHAT CRITICS SAY:
[www.notreble.com]
I found Right Note to be worth a special mention, primarily due to the inclusion of the microphone
This is what really counts here: the ability to develop your relative pitch and use it in context on your instrument

[iosmusician.blogspot.com]
This feature {microphone recognition} is what sets the app apart from all the rest, especially in Melody mode
Right Note helps you develop that sixth sense, or instinct, needed to figure out what note is where, with out even thinking about it
Brilliant 5/5

WHATS UNIQUE ABOUT RIGHT NOTE ?

@ Microphone recognition
now you can play using your own instrument

@ Your not just answering questions
before each lesson you can train hearing given intervals with random root and notes in different octaves to get the feel

@ You learn from your mistakes
after a mistake you can analyze the right and wrong answer instead of just moving to the next question

@ Melody dictation
intervals and pitch is a good practice but your main goal is melody recognition

@ Intervals in context
so you know your intervals but cant hear them in a melody? Try out this exercise to bridge the gap

@ Highly customizable
a wide range of settings and options giving you the much needed freedom outside the given lessons


KEY FEATURES:
- Four exercise modes: Interval, Interval in context, Pitch and Melody
- Highly customizable settings
- Note range from C1 to C8
- Lessons for all modes, from beginner to expert
- Learn from your mistakes: retry all you want or use the show answer option
- Train listening to random intervals and pitch to get the feel
- Choose between controllers for a different approach: pads, full keyboard, "octave" keyboard
- Easily scrollable keyboard with a visual scrollbar showing the full keyboard
- Music notation - choose between American or European notation and shift octave numbers
- Bonus virtual piano

MICROPHONE:
- New way to answer instead of using GUI controls
- Great to get the feel of a live instrument
- Detects wide range of notes - from C1 to even C8
- Octave equivalence option
- Tested on pianos, guitars, flute, harmonica and other
- If you plug in a mic you can still use the built-in speaker

Pros and cons of Right Note - Ear Trainer app for iPhone and iPad

Right Note - Ear Trainer app good for

I have been using Ear Trainer for a while but was becoming frustrated with the fixed lesson format. It would not let me configure the intervals I needed practice on. This app lets me configure everything! The other big item I was looking for was melody playback. This app plays a melody then lets you repeat it on an instrument of your choice. It listens through the mike and shows you what you played. This is the next best thing to having a teacher work with you. A unique feature is the ability to add notes before or after an interval. This makes identification harder than you might think. It is a great building block for melody playback. You can also play the second note in the interval on your instrument or an onscreen keyboard. This really helps me to find the correct range on my piano. If you are using an instrument with a smaller range, you can set it to accept the answer in any range. This has everything I need to work on all aspects of my ear training. I love it! I hope they use the ability to hear the instrument to make a sight reading trainer as well!
I tried many apps but i think this is the best ear training app in the store. Highly recommended.
To be able to use my own instrument...and a bass guitar at that...makes this a 5 star to me personally easily.

Some bad moments

You need good teachers when learning to play an instrument, this is one of them. Intervals and simple melodies were coming to me within minutes, finally a musical ear :) The mic feature makes this app now a part of my daily piano and guitar practice routine. ++
~Train with the microphone turned on to go through the melodies without touching your iOS device. ~Train with the microphone turned off if you are away from your instrument. ~Customize the melodies and intervals.
This is the ear training app so far for me, the only improvement that needs to be done Is having a listening mode.
I used to say that I would never spend more than 10 bucks with an app, but after trying the lite version I had to get this one. I love it, good job.
This is great training program that allows lots of variety on how you want to set up your lessons. However, its only good for intervals and melodic dictation. It would be five stars if it also had harmonic and chord training lessons.
this app does a great job leading you up to dictation. the sound samples are good and it has a dazzling array of wonderful features like the piano controller for answering interval questions. the only thing that could be improved is the interface - enlarging the replay button and some other adjustments would be icing on the cake. overall this is the best melodic ear trainer on the app store by far.
