Politonus I (Ear Training) for Negative User Reviews

PolitonusNo sound. Tried restarting app, checked sound level. Bummer. iPhone 6..Version: 1.2

One of the most frustrating experiences of my lifeI rarely write app reviews, but this app really motivated me to. I've never had such a frustrating pedagogical experience in my life. My accuracy actually dropped as I practiced with this app, from 50% to 20%. It's almost as though the algorithm with supposedly picks the next pitch to test is deliberately programmed to choose the most confusing possible option. Now, perhaps much of this is to blame on my tin ear, but I'd hoped for help with that from a tool like this, not be driven to distraction. If a music teacher had done this test on me in grade school, I would have broke down crying and switched to pottery..Version: 3.1.0

Useful but buggyEvery time I open the app it seems to have reverted to the default settings and resets my high score. Not this high score feature is particularly important, but if you’re paying for an app you should expect it at least to save your settings from use to use..Version: 1.3.3

Helpful app but......it could be made more superior with some adjustments to the UI. Primarily a visual system that relates more directly to the behaviour of a scale: lower scale degrees are position low on the interface. As it stands the lower degrees are positioned ABOVE the upper degrees. It’s backward. Makes no sense. Looking forward to an updated UI. Perhaps with a piano keyboard as the layout? That would be ideal. Otherwise a very helpful little app..Version: 2.5.1

App resets score when openingThere appears to be a bug in this app which causes it to lose the users score each time it is opened. The user then has to start practice all over again from the beginning. Quite annoying if you work really hard to climb to a level, only to have to start all over next time to go to use the app..Version: 2.5.1

Unhelpful and frustratingBought this app with high hopes that it would help me develop my ear training skills. Sadly I find it does a very bad job of helping you learn. It claims to have AI that adapts to your learning style, but I see no evidence of that. It feels like a simplistic drill-based approach that offers no support to improve. If you already are good at ear training it might offer useful practice to brush up. Otherwise I suggest you look elsewhere..Version: 6.2.0

A pretty poor appThis app is VERY limited. Regret purchasing it. Go and get yourself good ear pro instead!.Version: 2.5.1

Newer updates added bugsThis app has gotten worse over time. The replay button now plays a cadence in a different key each time you press it, changing the answer. This means you can’t really listen to the scale degrees more than once, which makes it really hard to do exercises with 3 or more notes.Version: 3.1.0

I so want this to be really cool, and it could.But the developers have put in a really half-hearted effort..Version: 5.1.2

Not the best for the priceI bought this app through the bundle, I don't think it's worth the money, wish I could get a refund. You can get a much better version of ear training for relative pitch and interval recognition with the Auralia interval recognition app for only $0.99..Version: 1.3.3

Not for everyoneThis app gave me flashbacks to when I took music theory as an elective because I wanted to learn music theory but instead just got a bitter oboeist screaming “WRONG” at me every time I misidentified the note/chord she played..Version: 5.1.2

Still buggy developer not responsiveApp is interesting but has issues. Developers do not respond to email or support requests.Version: 4.1.0

Lotsa potential. Very buggyWhen I can get it working, it is very helpful and I'm making progress. But it crashes every day at least twice. Most annoying, it only makes sound through my Bluetooth and not through the speakers. I have an iPhone 6s with the latest iOS and still having problems. I'm already off to multi tone exercises so it helps, but not everyone is as patient as I am..Version: 1.0

I do not get the pointBesides a bunch of bugs that crash the app or ignore some settings the effect of this training is minimal if at all. It is easier to remember the timber and character of each played note and get it right than guess the pitch after resetting cadence. After 10 hours of this nonsense I am down to 20% precision and have zero confidence in identifying and naming the notes. Finger remembers position of the buttons on the screen, that does not make the eye correlate note name with what ear can hear. Something is very wrong either with me or this learning concept..Version: 3.1.0

Won’t change screen orientationThe app does not change orientation at all when you rotate the display. It is upside down for the way I always hold and use the iPad (landscape w home button on left side, so I can use right hand to point and left to hit home). Annoying..Version: 2.5.0
