San Francisco Classical Voice The app is aimed at college music majors and budding music majors at the high school level. Still, beginning musicians can use the section on note names to reinforce the lessons they’re learning at their music classes, while advanced musicians can test themselves in the sections on intervals and chords.
It does note names, intervals, chords, and key signatures. And ear training, which makes sense for a music-listening device.
I’ve used dozens of music theory and ear training computer programs over the years (even written a few myself), and most of them are basically just drills dressed up as games, and this is no exception. So you couldn’t really use this to learn music from scratch, but since basic music recognition relies on a lot of drill, this might be a useful supplement for some students, and one which they can easily carry around with them.
And for 99 cents, not a big risk.
