For me I have enough subscriptions in my life so don’t want another one. I’m tired of every app trying to rope me into a new subscription. I’d rather pay like $50 once if I want an app rather than be charged and then eventually be punished by losing access if I have to unsubscribe and lose everything I invested.

[@UseYourEar]

Understand your point, but this app is not only a piece of software, there is a lot of content to be created to make it work as intended. There is a team of people working on it and the development is continuous, as I said we are uploading new songs daily, and that wouldn't be sustainable with a 50$ one time fee. If you value practicing on ear training the way our app does (full songs, different genres, etc.) the current pricing is great value for what you get in exchange, if you still don't like subscription please read my comment below this one and join the discussion as we are open to introduce new payment options. We are just trying to find a sustainable way to do so. Again read my comment below before letting us know your thoughts.

[@byronrogers4489]

That sounds good, but I'm with him. That's not what I want. Instead of all the extras that take away from the purpose of our decision to buy the product, you should focus on the customer's needs and not the money you can make from the product. I'll pass. ​@@UseYourEar

[@HurriedDragons]

I completely agree with this sentiment

[@UseYourEar]

​@@HurriedDragons ok, I understand your point. Just so you know, we're open to introducing different payment options. They would have to be sustainable though, paying a small one time fee won't be sustainable unfortunately. I hope you can understand that. So I'm thinking about this: What about giving the option to users to pay a small fee for each song you decide to work on, it would be kinda like itunes, you purchase a song and its yours, you can access it forever. This way you actually pay only for what you use and you never lose access to it. Would something like that work better for you?

[@vineyardworker]

totally

[@EGDmitry]

Considering how fun this video was, i'm sure the app is equally as fun! Excellent!

[@UseYourEar]

Thanks

[@rvangaal]

Great app! Some feedback: it's too easy to switch phrases and lose your current input (two 'play' buttons next to each other). The 'phrase failed' dialog obscures any faulty blobs that are a useful hint normally where you're hearing things incorrectly.

[@UseYourEar]

Great stuff! We'll make sure to get this right in the next version! Thanks! Feel free to add anything else.

[@jamesfalls]

Thank you for encouraging me to grow as a musician. I've been trying to use the app since launch and I have a lot of feedback. Im a singer of some skill and experience with a weak ear. I had recently begun to train a more traditional way before finding your channel. I find the app incredibly frustrating. I don't think I'm learning anything wildly guessing at the intervals. I constantly confuse the play button and the next section arrow. The blob positioning drifting left and right is mildly infuriating. When the "Failure box" pops up and I can't see the wrong notes highlighted behind it so I'm retrying blindly leading to 5 or 10 minute training sessions where no progress is made. You have unintentionally made the Dark Souls of ear training and that's not my cup of tea. I think I'll make a 5-10 minute video if I can find a good way to screen record so you can see someone outside of your students try and use it.

[@UseYourEar]

thanks for your comment. I believe a big part of why you are finding the app frustrating is indeed because you are approaching recognition using an interval based approach, which I strongly discourage students to use. To solve that I recommend you to watch other videos on our channel (like this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5PVnpWPlq6cmrs ) and get to know more about our method, which will definitely make a ton of difference on that aspect. Regarding the more technical issues regarding the User Interface, I believe you are totally spot on with your comments; we'll definitely fix all of those little but annoying issues in our next update. We apologize for that, hope you can have a little patience while waiting for us to improve the UI. Thanks

[@user-cc8gy4wp4x]

I prefer Piano mode, I just had a lesson with Matteo. I'll be sending you feedback. You guys are the best.

[@UseYourEar]

Thanks!

[@JoaquínAndrésGonzálezParada]

can i get a discount if i have purchased the use your ear full course?

[@UseYourEar]

Unfortunately, there isn’t a discount available at the moment, as we’ve already worked to make the regular price as affordable as possible. However, we have some exciting plans for our current course members. While I can’t reveal the details just yet, rest assured that subscribers will enjoy special benefits as we release additional features. We deeply appreciate our early supporters, and we’re incredibly thankful for your trust in us. Please give us a little more time to implement everything. If you find value in what the app offers now, your support through a paid subscription would mean a lot to us and help immensely in bringing these new features to life.

[@sossyge3557]

I’m hopeful that purchasing the course will kick back into the app

[@UseYourEar]

@@sossyge3557 It surely does. Thank you!

[@SantiagoSalazarVlogs]

This looks great and with a lot of potential. I'm halfway through the UYE method and would be great to have Jazz and Classical Music sections. Congratulations on the new project

[@SantiagoSalazarVlogs]

Also specific exercises and songs for each level and/or exercises of the method, that would make the course more interactive and allow us inmediate feedback. Thank you!

[@UseYourEar]

Thank you for your feedback. We'll include that in the future.

[@UseYourEar]

That's something we have already planned, just stay tuned. Thanks

[@smatlanta1]

A section for Jazz Standards for practice would help me a lot.

[@UseYourEar]

Sure, we have to fully implement the chord feature first and then we'll add some of the jazz stuff! 😉

[@Mike-rw2nh]

Having studied the ear training course in depth, UYE is a brand I recommend and trust completely. Your app has made my search for appropriate study materials to supplement my ongoing studies so much easier. Having access to a selection of music, that has already been graded for me, is a godsend in terms of time and effort searching for new music to challenge myself. Thank you so much. I am more than happy to subscribe to this fantastic app. I want in from the start.

[@UseYourEar]

Hi Mike, I'm glad you like our app and very grateful for your continuous support. Thanks

[@afgafg6471]

I love your approach already. I think this app has so much potential to help musicians develop PRACTICAL real-world skills. 👍

[@UseYourEar]

Thanks, I'm glad you find our work helpful.

[@marcobarbantibrodano6531]

I like piano mode. I play jazz so i would defenitly like more complex melodic and harmonic structures and possibility to recognize triad inversions

[@UseYourEar]

Thanks for the feedback. Will do!

[@ShaharHarshuv]

Hey, I noticed that if I get one note/chord wrong it fails me without indication of what was wrong. Would be nice if it tells me what was wrong

[@UseYourEar]

This is going to be fixed very soon in the next update. Thanks for pointing this out.

[@minus5plus3]

Can you add something for beginners? Finding the root, finding one and then two notes to a given root/tonic.

[@UseYourEar]

Thanks for your feedback. Sure, we will.

[@heartattack7230]

I am interested in your music especially it comes keyboard

[@ShaharHarshuv]

Hey, sometimes the app creates a sustained stuck analog sound until you click something

[@UseYourEar]

That's weird, please use the "contact us" button within the app (under profile section) to report bugs. Also include device type, device OS and a quick screenrec or screenshot of the issue if you can. Thanks

[@Skorupq]

Hey! I'm really happy you guys came up with this app. I'm downloading and subscribing right away! Just some quick feedback: it would be awesome to have a "score mode" where you can write down real notes without worrying about rhythm (kind of like what you've already done). This would help me train two things at once and open up more possibilities. For example, it could help differentiate whether 7ths are being played in a given context or what inversion is being used. At a certain level, this could be up to the learner to decide. Thanks for the awesome work! You’ve got my full support! :)

[@UseYourEar]

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. Can you please clarify further what do you mean with "This would help me train two things at once and open up more possibilities"? I'm not sure if I got the idea you have in mind correctly.

[@philhess94]

I have tried out one of the free songs, and I think this app has a lot of potential! Thank you for your efforts. In the chords section, I keep getting the "phrase failed" pop up even when I am correct. Can you please fix this bug? Thank you!

[@UseYourEar]

Hi and thanks for your feedback. For bugs please report them using the contact us button within the app as shown in this video. Please include name of the song, song part and phrase number so we can check properly and determine the nature of the issue.

[@mactic5973]

Nice App! Thanks for your commitment to training ears How do I know if I am correct for both Chord progression and scales?

[@UseYourEar]

Hi, The app tells you whether your answer is correct or wrong. Try it out.

[@LennyYoutubeMusic]

Hard rock and classical

[@UseYourEar]

Thank you

[@ShaharHarshuv]

It's very annoying that when you moved a note it's locked and you can't move it at all. Also you can only undo once so if you have another mistake you have to restart.

[@ShaharHarshuv]

Especially since it's kind of hard to drag it to when you want

[@UseYourEar]

Undo is not only once, it's only for the latest dragged note. If you misdragged a note that's a thing, so the app always lets you undo the latest note you dragged. But if you actually dragged notes on the incorrect degree on purpose that's should be counted as mistakes, so the app doesn't let you undo indefinitely.

[@henriflouquet346]

Very clever features that must have been a lot of work ! Thank you ! At what stage of the uye method do you recommend diving into the app ?

[@UseYourEar]

Hi, thank you for your feedback! The ideal starting point for using the app is around Unit 3 of the course. However, we also encourage students in earlier units to explore the app occasionally, taking advantage of all the available facilitations. The only exception might be for those working on Unit 0, as it could be a bit too early for them to fully benefit from the app in its current state. That said, we're continuously adding new features to make the app suitable for all levels, so this advice may soon be outdated.

[@ShaharHarshuv]

Hey, I noticed that in chord mode it lets me do the same chord progression again and again in different phrases. (Which gets boring and repetitive) Also - when I complete all phrases it just loops back to 1.

[@UseYourEar]

I'm not getting this. Some songs have the same chord progression multiple times, so this is normal. Practicing on songs is the purpose of the app. If you wanna practice exercises that's not actually the purpose of the app for now, but we'll include them in the future.

[@ShaharHarshuv]

Btw, drawing the piano keys properly (with the right spacing between black and white keys) in CSS is not such a difficult task. I would recommend investing 10 minutes in this. You need to make so that the top part (the black keys and the narrow white keys) will create an exact equal distance for each key, but the white keys alone will also have an exact equal distance.

[@UseYourEar]

Sure there are a lot of small fixes and improvement needed, we'll get them right once we finished fully developing the core features.

[@ShaharHarshuv]

Why not allow dragging to non-datonic notes without clicking a button? Also the sharps notation could be wrong. What if it's a b3 and not a #2?

[@UseYourEar]

That would mess up the UI for no reasons, 99% of the notes and chords are within the tonality. So non-diatonic notes are "exceptions" and thus why there is a button to access them. That said, in piano mode you can hit all the non-diatonic notes immediately without accessing a separate screen. I would suggest you use piano mode. The sharp notation, is just a placeholder to indicate the lanes, it's not thought out to be compliant to all music theory scenario, that would require lots of additional programming that really doesn't make a practical difference for users. So we save this for later.

[@raybart5604]

Firstly yes this a game changer and will develop into the best app. Can you save the game state, it frustrating starting from scratch each time I go into the app. Also can you allow subsequent movement of the blobs after they are dropped. I keep dropping them in the wrong spot and have to restart. Say again though this is golden.

[@UseYourEar]

All great stuff! On the list! Feel free to share more ideas. Thanks 😉

[@1967dtb]

The fact that the blob plays the note should be removed or turned off as an option. This gives too much information. Especially if you allow the user to move the blob. Then it is just a process of pitch matching, not really using the ear.

[@raybart5604]

@@1967dtb Actually I have found you can play the notes without moving the blob. I am finding it useful right now. I get the phrases pretty easily with the piano on but just the vocal is a lot harder. I really only listen to instrumental jazz music and while you are right about pitch matching it helps initially and a couple of phrases in I don’t need it so much. You can always change the Facilitation level to realistic on the game settings which turns off the blob sound.

[@raybart5604]

@@UseYourEar okay I subscribed for the year because 1, I want to see how this develops 2, my ears have improved in the short space of time I have been using it. I was thinking maybe an EQ or stem capability would be useful in order to focus on the harmony/vocal/bass etc Don’t change the fundamentals too much though, there is an awful lot that is spot on with this app 😎🎶

Hello! If i already bought the UYE Relative Pitch Video Course on the web, i still have to pay for the mobile app?

[@UseYourEar]

Yes, currently the app is a separate service than the course, as they do different things. The course includes everything about our step by step method (video lessons, exercises, concepts, thought process to use, etc.), while our app is the first app that lets you practice ear training on full songs. While we suggest to practice on the app using our method, you can use different methods if you want (as explained in the video). I hope that makes sense. Thanks

Thanks for your feedback. Just wanted to clarify this important point: as for now the app is designed to mobile devices only. We might introduce desktop and laptop versions in the future of course. We don't wanna let anyone out but we had to start with something manageable. For now, in regards to mobile devices our app is platform independent by being available both for android and apple devices.
