      UCLA music department – Ear training app (Free).
      ios devices tho, so I can’t try it. maybe someone wants to check it out (& punish themselves)
      https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ucla-music-theory/id1041847283

      Currently, the app has 4 different training modules:

      – Sight Reading
      – Intervals (Melodic and Harmonic)
      – Chords (Regular, 7th, basic progressions)
      – Dictation (Rhythmic, melodic)

      Right now, we have 2 modes for each section:

      – Practice Mode (untimed, score is tracked)
      – Survival Mode (timed, end score is recorded in high scores)

      In both modes you will be practicing your ability to recognize notes and note formations.

      I have been using musictheory.net’s free tools. Recently, I have been ‘note ear training’ accompanied with my guitar. You can configure it by selecting the notes you want to include as well as the range of notes to select from. By default it filters to two octaves of C-major. It keeps track of how many correct vs total guesses and you can reset the score/timer at the beginning of every session. You can hit the space bar to replay the note whenever it disappears from your inner ear.

      I highly recommend it for its price (free) and minimalistic design (minimal yet configurable). It is also a bit more convenient than using yet another device if you play through a DAW/Amplitube with headphones.

      In total they have 5 ear training exercises:

      • Keyboard Ear Training – Listen and press the piano key of the played note.
      • Note Ear Training – Listen and identify the played interval.
      • Interval Ear Training – Listen and identify the played interval. (These are melodic intervals.)
      • Scale Ear Training – Listen and identify the played scale.
      • Chord Ear Training – Listen and identify the played chord.

      The UCLA app I mentioned is very “meh”. Not recommended.

      This link is the one I keep losing to a great online music trainer which produces melodies to play back by ear, progressions, etc.
