Quiztones: EQ Ear Training App Reviews

63 add

Finally an app worth having

This app is great! I cant get enough and I want more! Please keep providing updates with greater difficulty, and make sure the quiz tones/tracks play in random order. Can u include a section where u just listen to different frequencies? And what happened to the practice section? Please bring that back in the next update! Thanks!!

Great!

Wonderful app and very easy to use. I would like to see an added ability to change songs with the same difficulty while listening to music with boosted/attenuated frequencies. Right now, it seems if youre listening to song "A" on easy, you cant just choose song "B" while remaining on easy. Maybe a link after the quiz to change songs in addition to play again.

Not a waste of time

Super useful for any sound engineer. Actually a reason to pick up my phone. Devs: 1 bug so far. The "random" aspect of the answers in the eq quiz isnt so random. Its only the highest or lowest option when its 63hz or 16k, otherwise its always one of the middle 2 (out of the 4 choices). This is in easy and advanced mode. Takes a bit of the fun out of it. Small niggle, thank you for an app worthy of phone time.

Best app I own!!!

Absolutely great app for ALL sound engineers/musicians!!! I am a media technician for my church and this app really has improved my ear!! Totally worth every penny!! I see absolutely no drawbacks! And the randomizer does randomize. I definitely recommend this app to any and all sound engineers! Very well done!!

Really nice app, but the marketing is a bit sneaky

Nice little app to quiz yourself and tune sound skills when youre bored... I really like it! I do wish they would just charge you 8.99 from the start (because youll end up paying it), but still quite happy.

Helpful

This has been one of the more helpful tools in learning frequencies. Buying the pro package is great idea if you have trouble EQing instruments. They also have a version to buy in the App Store for Mac thats great.

Awesome tool for ear training...

I love this app. Its almost perfect. The only thing that it lacks is the option to be tested on specific frequencies. For example you cant limit the quizzes to say, 1k-4k. So for a beginner, its difficult to dial in on the differences in close octaves and can be frustrating at times to keep missing something because you cant limit your practice to specific octaves only. Other than that, this app is incredible. 5 stars if they add the option to limit quizzes to specific ranges.

Awesome app

Thank you Jesus for this app!!!!! I have been learning to record for some years with Logic Pro and hillbillyin stuff together and made a lot of progress. This app, if I will just use it, will put me in over the top on making decisions about mixes before I turn knobs. Very smart app, and priceless in my opinion for exercising my ears. Well done and thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!

Great app to improve and practice but it doesnt teach you

Read Matthews review below on which I agree too! That and some basic guide lines or tutorials would be nice like the qualities of boosting and cutting certain frequencies so that u can have a point of reference if Ur a beginner instead of a hit or miss approach. That and adding a range limiter so u can practice a certain octave would make this app a juggernaut. But Im still happy as hell with my puchase.

Not for professionals.

I feel like more can be gained with a signal generator (free ones available) and a 31 band EQ. Good for the novice trying to get a start though.

Misleading

I purchased it but it only came with one level not the multiple levels shown in the description. Seems you have to pay more to get anything useful. Way overpriced!

Great App

The quizzes using songs from your own music is especially dope

Almost

Great potential. Buggy (some sounds fail to play), and wants more money after initial purchase. Boost and cut recognition tests are good. Check back in 6 months - hopefully will develop further.

Useful

Great way to put names (or numbers) to audio frequencies. Helps me communicate with other audio engineers.

An essential tool for the musically curious.

This is a great tool, especially for students. Train those ears!

Must have for audio Engineers!

An audio Engineer that sits around and thinks he is too good to train his ears is like an athlete that does no training and expects to do well in a race. This is a good tool and well setup.

Excellent

As others have stated, it would be nice to use a whole song from your music library instead of short clips that loop. One feature I would like to see is the ability to hear what ones wrong answer would sound like. For instance, if your doing the easy tone quizzes and it plays a 1kHz sine and one selects 2k as the answer, The button should shake or light up red and then play a 2k sine. This sort of feedback to a wrong answer would help me to better distinguish problem areas frequency wise. Another great feature would be the ability to take quizzes on individual instruments in the context of a multiple instrument mix. Also, add compression quizzes! Thanks keep up the fine appin

Pros love it.

Fun app & pro audio coworkers agree. My young nephews favorite game. Great suggestions from Danwedges review. Agreed, Danwedge. Thanks, Audiofile Engineering.

Must have!

I honestly have no idea where these negative comments are coming from. If all you are using it for is to identify tones then you are missing the point of the app. This has done wonders for my mixing skills. Immediately Finding problematic frequencies in sources is now a no brainer. Ive told everyone I know to use this bad boy. Its done great things for me.

Excellent!!

I love this app! Within minutes of using it, I gained a lot of experience with being able to decipher between different frequencies. If you are a budding sound engineer, I strongly suggest for you to purchase this app! You wont be disappointed!
