Ratings and reviews

GREAT to have access to such a huge library of user-created arrangements! Searching for songs can be hit-or-miss, and I find it too complex to input my own songs, but I don't read music and don't know how to chart, so maybe that's normal. One-time price reasonable. There's no way to input melody, but that's due to copyright infringement laws. WONDERFUL for new musicians learning uke, guitar or piano because you can view chord diagrams and see where your fingers go!

The app is a lot of fun...so may tunes. When I first got it I had a question about where the repeat sign was. Sent in a question, answered less than a day! Had another question recently.. I had built up my library of tunes and got a tablet yesterday and wondered if I could get that library to the new device. Sent in a question...again answered in less than a day. It was in the faq but I had missed it. Slick handy little program... absolutely worth the money!

This app is an indispensable part of every practice session. The portable, easy access to 1000+ jazz standards alone is worth the price. But these guys also included a little fake band to back you while you practice the songs. 🤘 You can edit the band by choosing instruments, turning them off and on, and mixing their volumes. You clean easily change the tempo of each song, the key of each song, and the basic groove of each song. Night mode is perfect. Highly recommended.
