Leave a Review Play 'n' Practice
Could be good. But….
I do not play the kind of music that is included. This app could be useful to me if all included data could be deleted and I could set up my own categories. I don’t need the online library.
I play Irish music and would like to set up categories for jig, reel, hornpipe etc. My composers would be all completely different, if they were even known. For me would be better to use a tune source or recording reference.
The app has potential but is not flexible for types of music other than the classical music that is included.Show lessDeveloper Response
Hi Talindar, you could try out searching via Repertoire - Search & add piece. The pieces included in the internal database are only visible on the "All Pieces" view in the Repertoire. Nevertheless, I filed a feature request to consider removing the internal pieces from the database. Also i filed one for an additional free category attribute. You could use Genre, which is free to define on your own to categorize your pieces or arrange them in a playlist, for the moment. ArnoAbsolutely stellar
I’ve tried several similar apps and this , by far, works the best for me. Invest a little time with the owners manual and/or the online blog to understand the concept of operation for this app to enrich your experience.
What I like
- The MusicBrainz database has all the pieces I’ve searched for — from classical, new age jazz, to show tunes
- the prompt to practice scales appropriate for each piece
- the graphical layout showing my practice time for the day, week, month or year
- support — the developer is very responsive
- repertoire management
I’m still discovering features and tremendously excited about using the app to its full potentialShow lessGreat app!!

This is really an incredible app! All previous issues have been corrected. I'm actually a guitarist, but Play n' Practice is thought out better than ANY of the music journal/practice apps I have been able to find. I would like to see a few things incorporated that I think would really benefit it's usefulness to non-piano players, however, I will send a personal email as this app is everything the developer advertises it is! There is nothing better to be found..period! Thank you for your time and commitment to making this the best app of it's kind available!!Show lessDeveloper Response
