1.1.11
2021-06-14
NEW FEATURES
* Exercise setup in melodic exercises: you can now hear your selection for range options or the "Play tonic of key" options.
* New custom pitch/vocal range in both Preferences and Exercise Setup.
* Singing exercises: the app is now better at ignoring metronome sounds that are picked up by the mic.
* Sight-Singing: you can now turn off the metronome if other voices are played, so that you can follow those instead of the metronome.
* Singback and Clapback: when listening to your answer, the options "Play lead-in" and "Play metronome during question" are respected.
* Rhythmic Dictation now also has the exercise option "Auto repeat question"
* New option in Preferences > Other options: "Use native HTTPS requests". This can be used to solve connection problems.
LANGUAGES
* New language: Hungarian translation (App and Beginner’s Course only)
* Russian: Fixed wrong tone name "C"
* English: In the Jazz Workshop “Chord Identification, the chord "mi(maj7,b5)" has been renamed "Dim,maj7". Also, all custom chords now begin with an uppercase.
* French General Workshops: Revised the Interval Singing workshop to exclude movable-do solfege and use interval names instead.
* French: minor revision of the App text
* Russian and Polish: some lesson descriptions weren’t displayed correctly. This should now be fixed.
* German, Italian and Chinese: Fixed a few typos and spelling errors in the Beginner’s Course.
BUG FIXES
* We fixed a problem with "Auto Submit Answer" in Melodic Dictation: if enabled while using a pitch-only exercise, it would still be enabled when switching to an exercise with rhythmic note values. However, the setting was removed from Exercise Options, so you could not disable it again.
* The “Play lead-in” option in Exercise Options for Singing exercises is now grayed out when a question requires that it is enabled. Before, the option was available but changing it had no effect.
* Exercise Setup with a custom pitch range: tapping on the lower range option would play the wrong interval. This has now been fixed.
* The pitch detection system could display an error on rare occasions.
* Exercises where tempo was controlled by an Exercise Setup: changing the tempo in Exercise Options only worked if done while recording an answer. It would then be reset on each attempt or if the lesson intro was displayed again. Now the tempo is only reset when a new question is generated.
* In-App store: the purchase buttons with prices could take a long time to load. It should go much faster now.
* The Beginner’s course used half-note rests in 3/4 meters. This is common but not officially recommended, so it now uses two quarter-note rests instead.
* Sight reading exercises: in rare situations, it could stop recording after one bar.
* Lesson Introduction: better spacing of notes on staff.
* Exercise setup in melodic exercises: you can now hear your selection for range options or the "Play tonic of key" options.

NEW FEATURES
* Improved UI for the Functional Keyboard
* New "dynamic" setting for the spacing of notes on the staff

* "Total Scores" and "Module Scores" now show the sum of the best attempts for each lesson. Before it would show the sum of all attempts.
* The Interval Singing exercise now has its own "Show first tone" setting, which defaults to off. All other exercises still share the global setting, which defaults to on.
* The exercise options "Show claps" and "Show pitch curve" now only apply while answering the question. When the question has been answered, EarMaster now always shows the claps/pitch curve because they are a direct visual representation of the evaluation.
* Piano: Adjusted the height of the black keys for a more realistic look.
* More information is displayed when a user can't log in to the cloud.
* Solved a bug with the note toolbar that could cause dictation exercises to freeze.
* Fixed a bug where the scope of temporary accidentals was on multiple bars if the last element in a bar was a rest.
* The progress of a course is now based on completed lessons and no longer on passed lessons (a lesson can be completed without being passed).
* Solved a bug in Sight-Singing and Singback exercises: if using MIDI IN or onscreen instruments to answer instead of a microphone, an error message was shown if the user was playing a tone before the downbeat.
* Leaving the App while the "Lesson finish" window is open and then returning after 3+ minutes would create display issues. This has now been fixed.
* Every time EarMaster starts recording the microphone, it now checks if the user has granted permission for the App to use the microphone. If the user hasn't granted EarMaster permission to use the Mic, a notification is displayed.
* Solved a bug on iOS: when rapidly and repeatedly starting/stopping playback of a recorded answer, the playback engine could stop working and a restart would be required.

1.1.5
2020-06-24
New features:
* In Results, the lesson number and title are shown together, so you can easily see what lesson it is (e.g. "2.5 - All intervals").
* In Dictation and Singback exercises with accompaniment voices, the volume of the voices is now adjusted so that the evaluated voice is louder than the accompaniment.
* The first module of all the General Workshops are now free, except for Interval Singing, Chord Progressions and Scales ID which only include one or a few modules.
Bug fixes:
* Chord progressions: better use of the grand staff to display chords.
* Melodic dictation: If a question contained only one real tone and "Show first tone" was checked, it would fail. Now the "Show first tone" option is automatically forced off if there is only one tone in the question.
* Melody generator with rhythms: if the exercise would only include 1-bar examples and the whole note was selected, only whole notes would be picked as questions, no matter what other note values were selected.
* Rhythm generator: when 8th triplets were enabled, including their rests, in 4/4, a triplet with an 8th and a 4th without showing the triplet sign could be generated.
* Fixed lesson 24.15 in the RCM course. Lesson is about minor 6th, but the interval played was Perfect 5th.
* Fixed a description in the Beginner's Course lesson 10.10: it claimed to include the dotted half, but it was nothing but empty promises.
* Interval Comparison: the big gray question mark was too big on iPhone. Its size has now been reduced a little.
* If the device name started with an emoji, EarMaster would show errors and fail to run properly.

2020-04-16
This new updates includes a few improvements and bug fixes, including:
* Bug fix: When Lesson Introduction was shown, switching away from EarMaster and back again would cause a problem.
* Rhythmic dictation: Selecting the "Tied" tool now turns the rests into note values in the toolbar. Before, you could end up inserting a "tied rest".

* Cloud students: When working offline, an error message would be shown on every automatic attempt to go online and upload results
* Chinese translation: fixed a few line break problems in Lesson Introductions.

* Multiple choice buttons optimized so that they can all be shown in exercises with many possible answers.
* Fixes a warning message about accidentals
in Interval Singing exercises
* Rhythm exercises: if the exercise option "Evaluate Note length" was enforced by the lesson options, you could still enable microphone input, which would turn the option off.

LANGUAGE CHANGES
* English: Minor fixes in the Beginner's Course.
* Spanish: Some chord names have been shortened.

Chiddychat,
BEST ON THE MARKET. YOU NEED THIS.
I never write reviews. This is my first ever. But when an app comes along that changes the way I practice, helps the way I teach, and provides a new way of hearing music, I couldn’t help but do a review. The exercises are so well thought out, and have so much to offer both the complete beginner and the most world class musicians alike. Being an instructor at Nashville Music Academy, I can say this app has developed my ear and my students ear to a level that would have taken many more years to develop, if at all, without it. Do yourself a favor, take the step, make the commitment to complete all the exercises, and watch yourself grow as a musician like you never thought possible. Albeit this is a tool, and what you do with it is up to you, but through this training you can truly take the phrase “if you can hear it, you can play it” to heart. Thank you to the entire EarMaster team.
Birkabu,
Visible improvement
It’s an extremely useful app, I can see an obvious improvement after about three weeks of using it. I’m currently using the exercises (after purchasing the bundle). It’s really worth the money imho. One thing I’ve noticed though that I didn’t like so far is in the Chord inversions exercise when I make a mistake whether it was an augmented chord and not a diminished one, it logically should show the difference between the different chord types for the SAME key in my opinion and not based on the first note you hear. Or is there some kind of a setting where this can be changed?
Otherwise, so far, I’m a very happy user. I use it daily for 45-60 minutes doing two rounds of each exercise type in my current exercise set.

Joe DeC,
EarMaster is really helping me a lot!
EarMaster is not just for the youth and teens, but I love it and I am an older adult just now getting into music. I have a lot of catching up to do and EarMaster has tons of lessons designed to give users a thorough background from the basics on up. And all this for a nominal cost. Additionally, on occasion I have some technical, music-related questions and each time I have asked about something, I got a prompt and thorough response. I have much respect for this app and the people who put it together as well as what it can do to help others to become more musically talented. Hope this is helpful. Take care...
contrapuntalisto,
Creating custom chords feature missing on IPAD
1. I own the PC/Mac version and you can create your own custom chords like polychords, tone clusters, random quintal quartal chords, and atonal stuff, however you want it, that’s one of the main reason I use this app, is the flexibility that on other app has. But that feature is not available on the Ipad version. I bought a ipad pro thinking that i can use it to train my ear wherever I go. I would totally pay some bucks to get that feature tho.
2. In earmaster 6, the entire piano keyboard is shown, but for some reason, in earmaster 7, the developers decided to only show the keyboard partially, and if you do chords and intervals that span over a few octaves, you have to constantly browse back and forth to input the answers, WHY?
It’s only a downgrade from earmaster 6. Now it’s still the best ear training app on the market, but it’s not as good of a experience compared to the previous version.

Best App Yet
I’ve tried a handful of ear training apps, and this one is by far the best. Its also the most expensive, but worth the coin in my opinion. I never felt like I really learned much in the other apps. With Ear Master the exercises are much richer, and therefore closer to real music making. Don’t waste your time, just get the best.
My only complaint is that it can be a bit buggy. Sometimes I’ll load up an exercise and the UI will crash.

Best for Bass players
What separates EarMaster from the rest is the fact that it has a bass fretboard. Most of the other apps use a keyboard. When you get to the melodic dictation as a bass player, I spend most of my time searching for the correct note. EarMaster has made this easy. I travel for a living and I spend hours sitting in airports playing with EarMaster on my iPad. EarMaster has become part of my travel ritual.
jxclark,
Excellent ear training app
I am really enjoying this app. It has helped me identify some gaps I have and provided me with a more deliberate way to improve my ear. I like the variety of options: intervals (melodic up and down, harmonic), chord identification, chord progressions, rhythm, melodic dictation, etc.
This app provides me two major benefits:
1. It will (hopefully) turn my pretty good ear into a great ear.
2. It is helping me get some structured ideas of how to teach ear training to my piano students. (Something I have struggled with for a long time)
It has definitely been worth the cost so far. Once I master the General Workshop exercises I will definitely be buying the Jazz Workshop.

Rhythm playback simply does not work on iPad Pro
I teach a lot of piano students (currently remotely) and thought this app would be a great supplement to the theory assignments I already give. I was seriously considering purchasing the app but thought I should try it out myself. Well, I didn’t get far because I couldn’t pass the simple rhythm test in thr first module!
I tried clapping to no avail. When I went back to listen to what I clapped, I heard only one of the four notes I clapped. So I tried tapping on the side, on the screen, nothing helped. I carefully waited for the four lead-in metronome clicks and then for four example claps, and started on the next metronome click after the claps.
And it won’t let me even advance to the next elementary level.
Any explanation or advice? I tried with headphones (Bluetooth and wired) and without headphones. I am sitting in an absolutely quiet room.

No connection with my hearing aids
This has been a wonderful app. However there is no audio connection with my hearing aids. Of course, it runs find through the speaker. With other music training apps I've had no problems of this nature. Please find a way to fix this problem.
I'll be forever thankful!

Great ET app
I would give this five stars if, on the teacher’s end, EM allowed tonic six-four chords, especially at cadences. I suppose it would also be nice to have a couple more options: 1) the ability to specify all inversions for user-defined chord progressions, and 2) a module that allowed students to identify soprano and bass factors in chord progressions. Other than those concerns, it’s a 5 in my book!
