Coco is an ear-training app for musicians, using short listening sessions to practice recognizing notes, intervals, chords, scales, and pitch. Its seven games—Sonar, Triad, Climb, Fall, Ladder, Span, and Sound—offer levels that can add answer choices, chromatic notes, broader octave ranges, speed, and difficulty. Daily Workout chooses a personalized set, usually one to three games, based on practice history and areas to improve. The Daily Challenge gives every player the same questions and time limits for that day, with one attempt. Coco is available on Android, iOS, and the web. An account is needed to save progress and synchronize statistics across devices. Most listening runs locally after content loads, but an internet connection is needed to submit results, update the proficiency index, and retrieve daily content. Coco requires sound and does not currently have a hearing-impaired mode; headphones are recommended for chord and harmonic-interval games. The Free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and has daily session limits. Coco Pro provides unlimited daily practice and full progression; its price is shown in the app at purchase.
