This software look great but I want something at the basic level like note recognition. I'm only a beginner.
Here's what I do with my piano teacher:
She give me middle C and after that I have to name every note she play.
When I get better she will play two notes then a three notes chord.
She told me I should start with simple note recognition before moving to interval and chord identification.
Unfortunately Earmaster start at a higher level.

Hi,
What you are describing is the first lessons of the Melodic Dictation exercices in EarMaster.
So of course you can start by identifying single notes.
But if she gives you the middle C and ask you to find a tone she plays afterwards, you are using your ability to recognize intervals (the interval between C and the tone played).
Intervals are the very basic elements of music, and the interval comparison exercise starts at a very accessible level, as you only need to tell which interval is greater, which is much easier than guessing a note by ear in my opinion. :--D
In any case, good training!
