- AuralBook for ABRSM Grade 1. Be sure to install all 8 books!
- Blob Chorus. Each of the blobs in the chorus sing a note and then King Blob sings his note. Your job is to identify the blob that sang the same note as King Blob. It's trickier than it sounds, but if it seems to easy for you, increase the size of the choir.
- Ear Trainer. If you have perfect pitch, this is a great listening test. For the rest of us with relative pitch, there is a reading quiz where we can see one note or one measure at a time and we must identify the name(s) of the note(s).
- Ear Training. Two difficulty levels: 1) Normal mode - the app plays the note you should play plus one more you need to play, and 2) Hard mode - the app will not give you a reference note - you will hear only your test note. Play in major, minor or 12-tone scale (dodecaphonic).
- Musical Ears. Ear training tool.
- Musical Note Memory Cards. A classic memory game except you have to remember the note you hear. The number of cards starts out small and gradually gets bigger, meaning you have to remember more each time. This app definitely helps your aural skills.
- My Ear - Ear Training. Learn to identify intervals, chords, scales, random intervals, and chord progressions. Challenge yourself with the Exercise of the Day.
- Pitchimprover ear training. A set of ear training exercises that will help you learn to play by ear.

- Theory, Practice! Choose from 4 difficulty levels or create your own. Includes intervals, scales, and chords.
- Perfect Ear. This is a must have! Test how well you can identify scales, chords, and intervals by sight with 20 different tests. You can also see how well you can recognize scales, intervals, chords, and cadences by ear.
- Perfect Ear Pro. This is a must have, too! Now you will have more options for intervals and cadences with about 100 more tests.
- Perfect Ear 2. Yes! This app has interval comparisons, rhythm reading, rhythm dictation, and pitch training. Use the standard tests or you can create your own custom tests. The app also has a scales dictionary and theory articles. The next Perfect Ear ___ (?) will have the Circle of Fifths.
- Sine Wave Ear Training Quiz. Test your hearing knowledge of the entire range of human hearing. Frequencies range from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. You'll guess which frequency it is and get a certain number of points, depending how close you were. Scoring: 100 points for every correct answer, -10 points for each interval you are away from the correct answer. Use this app carefully. Turn the volume to a reasonable level to prevent hearing damage. for best results, please use headphones with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz as your device may not be able to play all of the frequencies in this range with its built-in speakers. Aim for 440 points or above! (440 Hz is the frequency that orchestras tune to.) A premium version is available.
