Ratings and reviews

1. No "save as" option. 2. Whenever you copy and paste a chorus within an existing lead sheet, you get goofy errors, extra spaces, barlines. 3. Switch phones? Lose your data. Nothing is saved in your acct without manual back-ups. 4. Instead of fixing the bugs, the developer wants you to write him for a work-around solution, every time.

Good morning all, This app is incredible! I Love all of the capabilities it offers. Too many to list.You can really master the chord changes of songs with due diligence and commitment. I also Love the fact that the melody of the tune is not included. This forces the musician to learn it hopefully on their own. Ear training I feel is still very, very critical in the development of musicians. I am having a problem using it with my Laptop. It always displays the message that the app is already installed which I know it is on my phone. I am unable to choose my Laptop as the device I want to use because it is not showing in the list of devices. Please help me solve this long standing problem. I greatly appreciate your guidance and Thank you Again for a wonderful app!

I LOVE this program! Not only can you find thousands of charts to jazz, blues and rock tunes (even share the charts over many different methods), but the practice/play along function is invaluable. Before I purchased this program (at such a reasonable rate!), I was constantly trying to find backing tracks for practicing both vocals and piano. But often, those free tracks were in the wrong key. And the paid tracks add up fast! With IRealPro, you can change the tempo (slower when you're learning), set it to loop as many times as you want, create your own charts, modify charts, change the key (a must for my low voice), and even try the song with different rhythms. I don't know what we did without it. I have bought copies for other band members too. Just DO it!
