Q: Should I get the Classic or Ultimate app?
The Classic NinGenius Music apps allow students to "free play" any difficulty level for three types of questions: 1-Note Names, 2-Fingerings, and 3-Rhythm Counting, awarding a ninja belt award each time they play. The Class Games & Studio Games apps allow unlimited players on each device, and currently provides more comprehensive DATA for each student, but all the data resides on each iPad and is not accessible through a central system. Currently, only the Classic Apps allow teachers to create custom levels, but this feature will likely be added to the Ultimate app soon. All classic apps are ONLY available on iOS devices.
The NinGenius Music Ultimate app is the latest version and has 15 NEW Music Theory levels. It requires students to work through 5 levels at a time to earn each new ninja belt. It is more comprehensive than any of the classic apps, and requires greater mastery of each set of note, fingering, rhythm, and theory concepts in order to progress to each belt. The Ultimate app also allows unlimited players per device, and is available on all major platforms: Apple iOS, Android, and Amazon Kindle Fire. Newer model Chromebooks will also run the NinGenius Android app, but most school districts do not allow app downloads on school-managed Chromebooks.

Q: Can previously purchased apps be transferred to new iPads?
It appears app can only be transferred to new iPads if they each use the same Apple ID number, just like when you buy a new iPhone and your apps all transfer when you log in with an existing Apple ID. Unfortunately the apps aren't compatible with Apple desktops or laptops.
Q: Why does the app keep crashing on my iPad?
We have had several users tell us that the app is crashing right after the "splash screen". This is usually due to the iPad iOS being outdated (version 7.1 or earlier). In every case that we are aware of, updating the iOS to version 8.0 fixes the problem.
