v1.13.0

Mobile
Count-in
Latest

Released October 9, 2026

✨ Highlights

  • • Sign in with Apple or Google in one tap, and an existing account with the same email opens with your progress and subscription
  • • Beginners start with four quick questions before their first level, and can play before confirming their email
  • • Guido is rebuilt around the guide tones of a whole tune, with a band, four phases, any key and your own iReal Pro tunes
  • • The next level opens in one tap from the screen after a passed level

New Features

5
  • •Continue with Apple and Continue with Google above the email form, on sign-in and sign-up. No password to invent and no confirmation link to wait for; Hide My Email works.
  • •A four-question taster before Level 1: a happy or a sad chord, a melody going up or down, and two notes close together or far apart. Nothing is scored or saved.
  • •Guido plays the 3rd and the 7th of every chord through a whole tune in four phases, Listen, Follow, By ear and In tempo, with a saxophone, piano and bass that swing or play straight eighths.
  • •Guido's Repertoire holds the progressions jazz players meet every day, and imports your own tunes and playlists from iReal Pro.
  • •New players learn what EarCoins buy: the first coins come with a line about the Shop, the intro after the first level has an EarCoins and Shop step, and Home points at the EarCoins tile, which now says Shop.

Improvements

3
  • •Interval exercises can be answered on plain buttons instead of the keyboard.
  • •The sign-up form catches a typo in your email address and offers the fix.
  • •You can play right after signing up; the confirmation link waits in your inbox.

Bug Fixes

6
  • •A new account gets the first-run steps, the beginner taster included, even on a phone where someone else already went through them.
  • •On Android nothing sits under the phone's own bars any more.
  • •A duel no longer shows the tab bar while you play it.
  • •A phone still signed in to a deleted account signs out the next time it opens.
  • •The placement check starts new players at the level it names.
  • •A brand-new account no longer occasionally fails to load its levels the first time the app opens.

v1.12.0

Mobile
Downbeat

Released October 5, 2026

✨ Highlights

  • • Home leads with one next step, and a beginner goes from sign-up straight into their first level
  • • Harmonic Quest is rebuilt around Barry Harris's movement: Listen, Follow and By ear, in any of the twelve keys
  • • iPad and Android tablets get layouts of their own, with buttons at a comfortable width and a keyboard that adds octaves instead of stretching its keys
  • • More of the app speaks your language, and the confirmation email arrives in the language you signed up in and opens the app when you tap it

v1.11.0

Mobile
Errata

Released August 23, 2026

✨ Highlights

  • • MIDI keyboards send their notes to the app again on iPhone, and Bluetooth keyboards can be paired without leaving Earonman
  • • Sixteen teaching mistakes corrected across the interactive lessons, in English and in all four translations at once
  • • Level names now use the same words as the answer buttons inside them, so a level never asks for one scale and calls it another
  • • Every correction reached the course itself rather than waiting for this update, so nobody had to install anything to get them

v1.10.0

Web
Bridges
Latest

Released August 13, 2026

✨ Highlights

  • • Voicing practice on the website now runs on the formulas: fourteen voicing families, and every question is generated fresh in all twelve keys
  • • The daily Tune-up is on the website too - a short, free review of what you have actually answered, right in the browser
  • • Free practice on the website finally counts: a session is recorded when you leave it, toward your statistics and your streak
  • • The 34 new levels and the gentler early climb are live for web players too - levels live on the server, shared by the app and the site, so both got them on the same day

New Features

4
  • •Voicing practice now offers fourteen voicing families and builds every question fresh from the formulas, in all twelve keys - including the new Block Chords, So What inversions and both m11 stacks. The setup screen lists these families instead of the old database categories.
  • •The daily Tune-up arrives on the web: a card appears in the training sidebar when there is something worth revisiting, and the interval, chord and scale reviews play right in the browser. No lives, free for everyone, and it counts toward your streak.
  • •The course grew from 217 to 251 levels, and since levels live on the server, web players get all of it too: bridge levels into inversions and Upper Structures, a runway through the progressions, and a Voicings section that now opens with its easiest family first.
  • •The mobile-app page shows the app as it looks today - fresh screenshots of the current design, including Open Mic, the leagues and the instrument timbres - and the footer link now says Mobile App.

Improvements

4
  • •Free practice on the website now saves. It used to record nothing at all, so the same evening of practice kept a streak alive on the phone and lost it in the browser. A web session is now recorded when you leave it, exactly like on the phone.
  • •The training sidebar is calmer: the Tune-up is a single quiet line under the Continue button instead of a second boxed card, and the big subscription card is gone from the bottom - your plan lives in the avatar menu, where account things belong.
  • •On the free plan, the training sidebar quietly shows how many of today's exercises you have left.
  • •The Functioneer settings screen matches the rest of the app: sections sit on calm cards with a single amber accent, while the degree buttons keep their harmonic-function colours, which actually mean something.

Bug Fixes

5
  • •Chord changes now connect on the web too: when Functioneer plays a progression, the top voice steps to the nearest note of the next chord instead of jumping by up to an octave.
  • •Generated voicings are spelled the way a musician reads them - B7 shows D#, not Eb. Notation only; the sound was always right.
  • •Minor-key Functioneer levels on the website now play every chord they promise. A degree-name mismatch was silently dropping every flat or diminished degree, so a seven-chord level quietly played only three.
  • •The website header is back in three zones: streak and coins on the left, navigation centred, instrument and volume controls on the right.
  • •The level-complete window matches the new design: one calm card with your numbers as tiles, instead of the old three-colour gradient.

v1.10.0

Mobile
Bridges

Released August 13, 2026

✨ Highlights

  • • The app now speaks Czech, Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Japanese - it follows your phone's language, and Settings has a picker for everyone
  • • 34 new levels smooth the hardest jumps in the course, and the first thirty levels ask for fewer correct answers
  • • A fairer game: failed and abandoned runs now count toward your stats and streak, and your day ends at your midnight, not London's
  • • A daily Tune-up: a short, free review built from what you have actually answered

v1.9.0

Mobile
Velvet

Released August 3, 2026

✨ Highlights

  • • The app has been redrawn from the ground up: its own typefaces, a deep velvet background lit from the top with a fine grain, warm cream text, and every card lit from its own corner instead of sitting flat
  • • Timbres: twelve colour schemes you can buy with EarCoins and wear across the whole app, each one drawn from a different corner of record and instrument design

v1.9.0

Web
Velvet on the Web, and Studio for Teachers

Released August 3, 2026

  • • Faster startup, smoother screens, and better offline

v1.6.0

Mobile

Web
