I just want to give feedback here. When I clicked "support" it directed me here and said one of the things I could do in this forum was provide feedback, but there is no category to choose for "feedback" so I left this post uncategorized. That's my first piece of feedback: if you are interested in feedback, create a category for feedback!
Second piece of feedback: A tenet of game theory is to make goals difficult but achievable, and as you ramp up the difficulty the player improves in small increments. You should also provide very quick feedback so that the user's brain can learn to adjust. However I find a large jump in difficulty between the Beginner and Intermediate levels of the Dictation exercise. I routinely score 100's on the beginner and in the teens and twenties on intermediate. I think the main reason is that there is no option to hear my input on the intermediate exercises, the way there is on the beginner ones.
I am terrible at recognizing the chords in the progression, so I am left to guess. So there is no immediate feedback as I try things out and zero in on the correct answer, giving my brain a chance to learn. I can only guess, submit, and see my horrible score. But then since I can't re-do the exercise immediately or try another one until the next day, I have no opportunity for quick feedback to help me learn what I am mis-hearing. I've done it religiously every day for the past week and I feel I am no better at the intermediate exercises.
I think if you would just enable a play button to let me hear what I am inputting (like for the beginner exercises), it would give me the immediate feedback I need to get better at this.
Or... is there some research that shows this really is the best way to learn (24 hours between guess/failure)? It is just disheartening that I am not improving at all so far.
