Pros and cons of Note Trainer Pro app for iPhone and iPad

Note Trainer Pro app good for

I use to sing, this has been an easy way to relearn how to read music again. Im learning how to play the guitar and this helps so much. Very pleased with this app.
This app is the bomb. Im trying to learn the Vibraphone as a hobby. This app is very,very helpful in my study.
I am so grateful for this app! It is particularly helpful that it has a piano keyboard for those learning to read piano music.
I wanted to be able to sight read each note and chord. This app is very easy to use and allows you to time yourself and practice as much as you want. Just what I was looking for.
Thank you so much for creating this awesome app, very helpful, clear and rewarding! Good job!
Exactly what I expected to train myself, couldnt find better. Dont need to wait being home to exercise, it accelerates my training.

Some bad moments

Could you please place all different related triad chords together in the test part, plus all Augmented and diminished counterparts? They can be arranged in columns with four rows. At least all different scales of given triad! In this way finding the right one would be more challenging, also comparison helps to learn their differences visually. That would be great if there be a test of chords with the key signature! Also could you please make the app in a way that when we play a chord using green buttons the color of the related key change, indicating they are pressed? Also I would rather have one octave, but I can place my fingers properly. Also could you please add an exercise for all different key signatures? For example showing a key signature and asking to play all of its notes in order? Or identifying its name?
It got just about everything to be a good musician with this app. Thanks a lot!
I love this thing. I use a few different music theory apps for different purposes, and as far as training you to read notes and chords efficiently, this is the best Ive found for this purpose.
I absolutely love this app. I have been using it to learn/relearn how to read notes and it has helped me soooooo much. And now that Im taking piano, it has really helped/helping me. Thumbs up!!!! P.S. I showed it to my brother whos a music instructor wanted to get the name of the app for his students.
Great app! This is very helpful for a DIYers. I am over 60, still work and it supports learning based on my schedule. Thanks
Its a good tool to learn to quickly recognize notes & chords on the treble & base clef. If you add the timer in settings it has the pressure of a game and I tend to play it a lot. I definitely recommend this for anyone and specially those who struggle to want to learn to read sheet music (at least the notes & chords).
