What's this? A new built-in track?? Take a listen to the new built-in track "City Line" by the talented singer-songwriter (and hearEQ user) Kaden Thrower. Want to learn more about writing music, going to music school, and being a young songwriter and performer? Check out my interview with Kaden today at https://www.youtube.com/tenkettles. This release also includes a bug fix for an issue where the Store screen would occasionally crash. Thanks, Edgar, for getting in touch about this! Please don't hesitate to send me an email if you have any questions, comments, or feedback. Just tap the envelope icon on the Store screen. -Alex
Introducing Premium EQ, a new way to access Advanced EQ features. And as a big thank you to all our past Advanced EQ users, you have all been automatically updated to a top-tier Premium EQ membership for free.
The library has been completely rebuilt with lots of new features: • Browse your music library by artist, album, or song • Quickly lookup any song with the new search function • Open a music file from the Files app • Use hearEQ to open audio files from within other apps (e.g., Voice Memos) • Swipe right on any track to star it—and then access it quickly anytime I hope you like the new library! Please get in touch anytime if you have any questions, comments, or feature requests for hearEQ. I read everything that comes in and will get back to you (almost always) by the next business day. Happy EQing, -Alex P.S., For those who want to EQ their Apple Music tracks, I totally understand! I want you to be able to as well. Unfortunately Apple doesn't allow processing of their Apple Music tracks right now, but I'm keeping an eye on this. If anything changes on their end, I'd love to bring Apple Music support to hearEQ.
The track library will now remember your last scroll position—handy if you have lots of tracks on your device! There's also an updated Modules page and minor tweaks here and there. Questions, comments, feedback? Get in touch anytime at alex[at]tenkettles[dot]com. -Alex
What's new? Lots! Here's a run-down: • New tracks are now available to all hearEQ users. Advanced EQ users get some added bonus tracks too! (All users can still EQ any of their on-device tracks.) • If you get a question wrong in the quiz, you can now compare your guess to the correct answer. Just tap the EQ setting you want to hear! (Shout-out to our wonderful users for this feature request.) • The Learn screen now offers a snap-to-gain option for Advanced EQ users. Choose to snap the EQ effect to the nearest 1 dB, 3 dB, 6 dB, or 12 dB. • No more iPhone landscape. Now that you're able to interact with your quiz answers, things were just getting a little too tight on a sideways screen—especially with 30 bands! Landscape is still fully supported on iPad. (Sad to see iPhone landscape go? Drop me an email at alex[at]tenkettles[dot]com.) • No more third-party analytics! All frameworks used in hearEQ are now home-made. Your data is yours. Period. I hope you like the new version! As always, get in touch at alex[at]tenkettles[dot]com with any feedback, questions, comments, or even just to share your story about ear training. I'd love to hear from you and will (almost always) get back to you by the next work day, -Alex P.S., As an indie developer, App Store reviews are pretty much gold to me. So, if you like hearEQ, please be a star (or five) and review us. To review an app, just find it on the App Store, scroll down, and tap the "Write a Review" link. :)

What’s new? Everything! We re-built hearEQ from the ground up, and here are just a few of the things you’ll notice: 1) Built-in tracks: Not everyone keeps music on their devices, and we want to make sure these folks can start using hearEQ right away too! 2) Scrubbable audio player: You can now jump around tracks in both Learning and Quiz mode! 3) Brand new experience: We want the app to be easy to use right from the get-go, so we built a much more intuitive design complete with the option to access “help” from pretty much any screen. 4) Fully responsive: Portrait, landscape, iPhone SE, iPad Pro—no matter which iOS device you use and how you hold it, hearEQ will adapt. Like what we’ve done? Please consider giving us a 5-star review on iTunes. Want to see more changes? Drop us an email and we’d love to hear your ideas. -Alex
hearEQ 1.5.0 introduces support for French and Simplified Chinese! Like hearEQ? Rate us 5 stars on the App Store! Have ideas for how we could improve? Send us an email at support@tenkettles.com.
This update brings full iOS 9 optimization to hearEQ. We've also put a ***brand new audio engine*** inside hearEQ, which means 1) more stability, and 2) speaker playback is now fully supported. Got any feedback, comments, or suggestions? Get in touch at support@tenkettles.com. -Alex
Lots of tweaks under the hood to get hearEQ humming along nicer than ever! Like what we're doing with hearEQ? Review us on the App Store or get in touch at support@tenkettles.com to share your experience.
New “sliding” learn page, two new user-requested add-ons, and various performance enhancements. LEARN PAGE. A decibel (dB) is a measure of loudness, so the greater the dB, the greater the EQ effect. Experiment with different dB levels on our brand new LEARN PAGE! Just slide your finger up and down on each frequency, and you'll hear the filter come in and out. ADD-ONs. We’ve been getting some excellent feedback from our users, and have acted on that feedback by integrating two new add-ons: > Want to train your ears just like the experts? "Pink noise" is a special type of sound used for ear-training, and this add-on integrates seamlessly with hearEQ. > Once you’ve mastered hearEQ’s normal exercises, grab the "Advanced EQ" add-on to hone your EQ skills with lower-dB filters. As always, we love to hear your feedback, so drop us an email at support@tenkettles.com (or tweet at @tenkettles) to share your comments, suggestions, and feedback. Like what we’re doing? Pop a review up on the AppStore. :)
This new version offers stereo sound, better error handling (communicating with you—the user—nice and clearly whenever there's a problem), and various tweaks here and there. As always, send us a note through our website (tenkettles.com) with any feedback, suggestions, or just to say hello. And if you like what we've done, a review on the App Store is always much appreciated! Thanks and happy EQing! The Ten Kettles Team.
