GoodEar Pro is an effective ear training tool designed for musicians looking to enhance their listening skills. It helps users identify intervals, chords, and scales by ear. With GoodEar Pro, you can also play back melodies note by note on a virtual piano. Whether you're preparing for an aural skills exam, working on relative pitch development, or sharpening your musical ear alongside your instrument, this app offers structured practice to meet your needs.

One of the standout features of GoodEar Pro is its four training modes. In the Intervals mode, you get to practice 24 intervals ranging from unison to compound 14ths. You can choose to practice with ascending, descending, simultaneous, or random playback. For added context, you can even add harmonic backing chords. You can identify intervals by ear using the scrollable piano keyboard or through a multiple-choice quiz.

The Chords mode includes 39 chord types, such as triads, seventh chords, extended chords, and altered dominants. You can practice these in various positions, including root position and inversions. The app provides different playback styles like block, rolled, or arpeggiated options. By combining these chord types with different voicings, you can explore over 200 unique chord variations.

In the Scales mode, GoodEar Pro covers 35 scales across six families. This includes all seven diatonic modes, as well as harmonic minor modes, melodic minor modes, pentatonic scales, blues scales, whole tone scales, diminished scales, and bebop scales. You can practice in one or two octave ranges while selecting ascending or descending playback directions.

The Melodies mode allows you to play back melodies consisting of 3 to 11 notes by ear. You can choose either diatonic or chromatic intervals, which come with three difficulty levels: easy, medium, and hard. You also have the option to add a chord backing, making this mode similar to melody playback in an aural skills class and requiring piano input.

GoodEar Pro offers two versatile practice methods. You can play it back on a scrollable piano keyboard that features an 88-key overview bar with touch highlighting and multi-touch support. Alternatively, you can use multiple-choice buttons for quick recognition training. You can switch between both methods at any time, allowing for a flexible learning experience.

An important aspect of GoodEar Pro is its focus on helping you know your weaknesses. The app does not just count your scores; it also tracks accuracy for each element, including every interval, chord type, and scale. It sorts them by difficulty, so you can easily see where you struggle and what requires focused practice. You can monitor your progress through features like per-element accuracy bars, a 52-week practice calendar heatmap, and records of your best streak, lifetime accuracy, and total exercises.

You have complete control over your practice sessions in GoodEar Pro. You can adjust various settings, including tempo adjustment, playback direction, voicing options, inversion choices, and play style settings, to suit your preferences. You can select precisely which intervals, chords, or scales to include in each session, making the app adaptable to your current skill level—right from your first major scale to the last bebop mode.

GoodEar Pro is perfect for a wide range of users. It's designed for music students who are preparing for aural skills and theory exams, as well as instrumentalists and vocalists looking to build their listening ability. Professional musicians can refine their ear across different styles, while self-taught musicians can improve their relative pitch. Educators can also find value in this structured ear training tool for their students.

The app sports a dark, professional interface that is free from ads and distractions. You can start your journey with GoodEar Pro by taking advantage of a free 3-day trial, which provides full access to all content. After the trial, you have the option to choose between monthly, yearly, or lifetime subscriptions.
