**Short answer:** Quiztones is the pick for frequency and gain quizzes on an iPhone or a Mac. If you’re on Android or Windows, or want to go past naming frequencies, look at these.

- **Past naming frequencies, in any browser:** Mix Chops: find the problem, cut it, set the faders.
- **A phone app on Android too:** MixSense.
- **Pay once, train on your own music on a PC:** TrainYourEars EQ Edition.

I make Mix Chops, so weigh that. Everything here about Quiztones was read from its own pages on 9 November 2026 (numbered sources at the foot). Prices change: check before you buy.

## Where they differ

- **Where it runs.** Quiztones is an Apple app. Mix Chops runs in any browser, Android and Windows included.
- **How you answer.** Quiztones asks you to name the frequency or gain change. Mix Chops starts there, then has you set it: sweep and cut a resonance, fix the instrument that’s muddying a full mix.
- **What’s trained.** Quiztones is frequency and gain. Mix Chops adds compression, level balance and space.
- **The music.** Mix Chops’ songs are split into stems, so a problem can sit on one instrument and you find which.
