Apps for reading music / sight reading

It's been decades since I had to learn to read music, which was done very painfully with flash cards, and now DC are starting instruments I can't help but think that there mist be some whizzy technological solutions to this that make it actually fun. Apps, games, websites? Hit me with your best ones so that I don't have to inflict the trauma of my own childhood music lessons onto DC ...

Seashore2018 perhaps try NoteWorks app. There is a lite version to see if your dc like it.

I’m a bit late but my son’s teacher recommended Flashnote Derby.

Also quite late, but e-music maestro is highly recommended! Online sight reading practice for grades 1-2 (free examples available) plus books linking to an app for grades 1-4. They also have resources to help with aural tests.

Glad this popped up, DS also needs more practice.
I can further add musictheory.org - on the exercises page there are super customisable note recognition and lots of other exercises.

Sorry, .net that should have read.
