What I don't like about a lot of these "programs" is that they
test rather than
train. You can do the tests and get them the intervals, for example, wrong. How does that help you? If you don't know what the intervals sound like in the first place, how are you going to improve your ear?
It says on the homepage of the link above that "Good Ear helps you to develop good ears" but I don't see how. If I was someone who couldn't identify intervals or chord types I think I would get frustrated doing these tests without having someway to learn why I was wrong. That's my opinion. Plus most of us I think have trained our ears without doing interval recognition exercises.
