The Ear Gym is an ear-training app for Android and iOS, covering intervals, chords, scales, rhythm, harmony, solfege, and perfect pitch. Exercises let users identify, compare, construct, read, sing, or play intervals with piano and guitar sounds. Guided Mode progresses from beginner listening through intervals, chords, scales, rhythm, and harmony, while configurable drills let users choose intervals, chords, scales, keys, clefs, octaves, instruments, and tempo. Other study activities include sight reading, melodic dictation, harmonic analysis, chord progressions, and cadences. Session statistics, streaks, and badges track practice, and the app listing says it can be used offline. A free start offers drills at the user's own pace. Separate one-time purchases unlock Guided Mode for 2.99 USD per once, Free Mode for 2.99 USD per once, or the Complete package for 4.79 USD per once. The App Store description says the full app is unlocked through a one-time purchase, with no subscription or ads.
