  Cost over $20 and you still need in app purchases

  This is pretty much of a scam charging $20 for the app which gives you very little and then asks for more money to make your purchase semi worth it

  Amazing app - one glitch needs fixed, though.

  One little problem - if you set the chord diagrams to “off” they don’t go away like intuition leads you to think. You have to switch back to one of the instruments (guitar, piano, bass) and make sure it’s switched it off there or they won’t go away even if you select “off”. I thought it was broken but it’s just a broken bit of programming. That’s the work around, though. Please fix this, team. If I switch to off, it should turn off. Thank you! Love the app so much! Use it for my original tunes, too! Very good!

  Best music tool & toy

  I love it it is well design and very useful!

• ★★★★★Maxime515

  Shockingly helpful

  It’s an amazing list of tunes, yes, but the real magic is play along in all 12 keys! It’s become an invaluable part of my daily practice. Coltrane used to have a piano player comp for him to practice. I may not be Trane, but at least I can practice like him.

  Missing Lead Sheets

  Wishing for this app to work more like iReal.site did. I would pay for it too. Why can’t that be a thing?

  Sounds good

  I Don’t Get It

  Paid for this app at the suggestion of another musician. I wanted to use it for the drum loops. For rock or pop stuff, for many of the drum tracks, there is no variation at all…they are identical; just with a different name. I’ve not found this app useful or easily comprehensible.

  Needs capo function

  This program is wonderful not only for jazz guitarists, but for singers as well, as well as other such solo instrumentalists. Although most jazz guitarists like moveable chords, and hardly know what a capo is, this app is far more versatile than its service to the jazz community would suggest, and is is a shame that the long standing clamor for a simple capo function has fallen only upon deaf ears always to date.

  All my trumpet students have this app.

  Great app for teaching improvisation. For a jazz version of happy birthday I use the first 8 bars of It’s Only A Paper Moon.

  Keep getting better

  As I keep using, I keep growing.
