About Microtonal Ear Trainer
Can you hear the difference between a note that's perfectly in tune and one that's just slightly off? Microtonal Ear Trainer builds the listening skills many musicians never develop.
Designed by a musician, for musicians. This app focuses on one thing and does it well: training your ear to detect microtonal pitch differences that many people can't even hear yet.
Each round plays two tones in sequence. Your job is simple: is the second note flat or sharp? The deviation is random, anywhere from a subtle 1 cent to a wide 100 cents, and the difficulty is yours to control.
With consistent practice, you'll start hearing pitch inflections that used to be invisible to you. Whether you're a vocalist trying to lock into a chord, a guitarist chasing pure intonation, or a composer working with microtonality, this app trains the one skill no instrument lesson covers.
FEATURES
🎧 Pure sine wave tones, no distractions, just the pitch relationship
🎯 Adjustable cent range, start wide and narrow it as you improve
🎵 Configurable note range, train across two octaves (C2-C6)
⏱ Adjustable timing, control tone duration, gap, and result display
📊 60-day progress chart, see your accuracy trend over time
⚡ Instant feedback, correct or wrong, and by exactly how many cents
↔ Swipe or tap, answer flat or sharp your way
HOW TO USE IT
1. Listen to the reference tone
2. Listen to the second tone
3. Answer: flat or sharp?
4. See the result and your running score
Five minutes a day is enough to see real improvement within weeks.

Great app! I really like it. One feature I’m missing is an option to play the two notes simultaneously, so I can hear the difference between them at the same time.
The only app I've ever used that I would describe as perfect. Zero nonsense. It just does what you want it to do and nothing else. Other app developers should take a lesson!
