Ratings and reviews

Took a while for me to fully appreciate this app, but this a great tool for a student of jazz. You can get an accurate chart of any jazz standard, transpose to any key, export a pdf of your chart--you get a back track, change the tempo. I think I have access to 1200 songs. Try that with a fake book! And good customer service as well. Must have for any jazz student.

As a professional guitar and double bass player this has been my and my colleagues' go to app for many years. Make playlists, transpose them, share them with your combo or the substitute who will be filling in, and just start playing! Writing a new sheet is not the most intuitive thing in the world, it's kinda finicky and takes some time to get used to but it works. To the 1-star reviewers: don't buy this expecting guitar tabs. If you don't know how to read chord sheets this is not (yet) for you

Hello. This app is s very good. One major problem. I tried to install it on my Moto G Stylus phone and Samsung A7 Lite tablet with one purchase and the same account . It looks like it won't install on my tablet unless I pay for it AGAIN.That is not right. Can this be fixed
