Wrong answers are where the training is
Most ear training apps mark you wrong and move on, which tells you a score and teaches you nothing. Miss one here and the app plays back the interval you picked next to the one that actually sounded, at the same root, with a line explaining what separates them. The difference lands in your ear rather than on a tally.
Practice is a path that adds exactly one new thing per level, and nothing is ever asked for until it has turned up as a wrong option three times first. You meet every sound before you are graded on it.
No streaks, no gems, no lives
There is no daily flame to protect, no currency to spend and no notification asking you to come back. Ten minutes when you want them, and an honest read on what you cannot hear yet: accuracy per interval, how long you took, and what to drill next.
Nothing leaves your device. There is no account, no analytics SDK and no advertising in the app - the same promise as the rest of this site, set out on theprivacy page.

Questions
- Is the ear training app really free?
- The whole intervals track is free, at every level, with no account and no trial countdown. EarChord Pro is a subscription that adds chords, scales, progressions and custom drills. If you only ever practise intervals you never reach a paywall.
- Do I need an account?
- No. There is nothing to sign up for. Your progress is stored on your own device and the app makes no network request of its own.
- Does it work with Bluetooth headphones?
- Yes, and with wired headphones, the speaker, and with the silent switch on. Audio that stops working is the single most common complaint about ear training apps, so the app has a check screen that shows you which output it is using.
- How is this different from the chord finder on this site?
- The website tells you what the chords in a recording are. The app trains you to hear them yourself. They answer opposite questions, which is why they are separate products rather than one app with two tabs.
