Complete Ear Trainer review

Complete Ear Trainer turns relative pitch training into a game with a clear path. It lists 150+ progressive drills arranged over 4 levels and 28 chapters, covering 24 intervals, 36 chord types, chord inversions, 28 scale types, melodic dictation and chord progressions, and you earn stars in each drill to open the next chapter. Beginners get an easy mode with 50+ drills, and a theory card introduces each concept, so you do not need to read music on a staff. Sounds are recorded instruments, starting with a grand piano and including Rhodes, electric guitar, harp and strings. You can also build custom drills, and teachers can create programs for students with private leaderboards. The pricing is simple: try the first chapter of each mode free, then pay $6.99 once for the full version. It focuses on pitch and harmony, with less rhythm and singing work than the top two picks.
