About this app

Learn to play by ear with Pitch improver. The full version saves your progress, does not show ads and allows to choose between piano and guitar samples.

The ear training excercises are the same as at http://pitchimprover.com optimized for Android devices.
In every excercise you will start with the easiest tasks which will get more complex as your ear improves.
Pitchimprover is designed to work on your weak sides. If you mix up two chords or intervals, the program will drill you with these particular types.

The excercises are:
-Repeating melodies (20 levels)
-Intervals recognition (11 levels)
-Perfect pitch (11 levels)
-Chord types (12 levels)
-Chord progressions (16 levels)

The keyboard is optimized for mobile layout, you won't miss the black keys even with small screen and big fingers.

Some advice on training.
Practice everyday, but not for a long time, 20 minutes should be enough.
Melodic dictation will help you to hear melodic movements, while chord progressions excercise will let you recognize harmonic movements in songs. Don't forget the interval recognition excercise, it will find out the intervals you recognize worse than others and help you focus on them.

Ratings and reviews

Abandoned since 2013. But still a great app.

There is some benefit derived from this app; however, the scientific notation on the perfect pitch section is off by an octave, ie. what is labelled C3 is really C4. Also, there are some interval errors due to enharmonic spelling, ie. "Bb to G# is a Minor 7th" (No, it's an Augmented 6th). While the former issue is more significant, the developer has neither corrected these issues nor responded to my queries.

I am in love with this app. This app is just mind blowing. It is so useful and effective. I am practically benefited. The sounds are also too beautiful.
