Warming up too late is generally considered worse for your vocal health and performance quality than warming up too early.

Explanation
Warming up too late (or not at all) creates immediate risks that can derail a performance from the first note:
✅ Physical Strain and Injury: Singing cold forces your vocal folds to vibrate while they are still stiff and potentially thick from inactivity. This lack of suppleness increases the risk of vocal strain, swelling, or long-term injury like nodules.
✅ Poor Control and Cracking: Without a proper warmup, you are more likely to experience vocal cracks, flat notes, or a rusty feeling because your muscles haven't established the necessary coordination for pitch control and breath support.
✅ Immediate Tension: Starting stiff often leads to compensatory tension in the jaw, tongue, and throat as you try to force the notes out, which further degrades your sound and stamina.

I'm pretty new myself, but I don't think there's any limit to how much you can play the games on the pro plan :)

You can practice 'til your ears bleed, if you want to! (Please don't do it, I swear you can reach diamond without spilling a single drop)

tho im on the free plan, you can do unlimited learning on pro plan

Congratulations!!! Great job !!

Fantastic!

Great I tried to get it but I failed. Great to know others can do it tho

Google: Based on the most recent information from Tone Gym, they do not offer a direct 7-day free trial for their Pro subscription.
I wish it did. I'm on the free plan so I didn't know. 😅

Good for you!!!

Thank you ! :)

Great job! The more you know the better you play.

I've read and always thought of these words to describe them:

Aug – mysterious, dreamy, intriguing, thoughtful, curious
Dim – tense, uncomfortable, intense, anxious

Try making your own mind map/model of what they evoque. I know you said they sound dissonant, but it's not the same type of dissonance, you gotta get to know them better, as if they were your own friends. Takes a little time to establish a relationship. Look for examples in songs you know.

Diminished sounds more 'squeezed together' and is the more common cord often leading up to the tonic at the end of a piece or phrase.
Augmented doesn't appear in a major or nat. minor scale and sounds 'overly spread out'.

This is an example of where the different games reinforce each other. If you are solid on differentiating a diminished 5th from an augmented 5th (aka minor 6th), that will help you hear which interval is in the chord. And if it's a root-position chord, it's fairly easy to find the root, and then you can see whether going a dim 5 or aug 5 up from there matches the chord. So, make sure you are up on the various interval recognition games and on the interval singing games. (You don't have to have a great voice to gain benefit from singing intervals, which is a great way to connect your brain to the intervals and test out different intervals for match.)

Try this: Play the root so you can hear the root of the chord. And then sing the chord tones if you can and try to hear which one is the bottom. If you can't sing the chord tones, then play them on a keyboard and then sing them. Eventually, you'll be able to sing the chord tones without the help of the keyboard.

Same. I am completely guessing and don't know how to get better. I know my inversions and can totally figure it out if I use my piano, but isn't that cheating?

I'd say it's not cheating to use the piano. Maybe I'm biased because I do the same thing, but I thought of it as a useful tool. I want to hear things and then figure out what I'm hearing on instruments anyway.
