App has completely stopped working
This app two years ago was amazing. Everything worked flawlessly. As soon as I updated my phone and got a new phone, it has completely stopped working. I’ve tried uninstalling reinstalling I purchased app, so I do not know what else to do. It’s been well over a year of me trying to do many different things and I still can’t get it to work. I’ve been trying to find a way to contact the developers, but have had no luck with that. Is this ab functioning or is it so old it needs to be updated to work with the newer versions of iPhone?

App stopped working
Do not buy as it stopped working. Been trying for days to get it to work. Was a great app.
Excellent Play-along with Tutorials
This was previously packaged as a book with DVD-ROM. The essence is still there, as all of the tutorials and charts can be printed out. David Garibaldi’s explanations and breakdowns of each song are invaluable. My only criticism is that the layouts of the transcriptions are sometimes difficult to read, with some note groupings crowded together and others spaced out, all within the same measure. So, beats one & two take up less space than beat three, with beat four halfway between in size.

Kinda so so
OK, what a great idea to make a play along app with Tower Of Power. However, it is unfortunate that there is no preview before purchasing the app to hear the music, so I only realize after purchasing that there are no lyrics with the songs, strictly the band playing, which isn’t necessarily a terrible thing but a bit unfortunate. Further to that the record function appears to not be working, it gets stuck on the mixing portion when trying to export your recording to an email

Great to see this title on the App Store!
Overall really nice package. It's nice to have the Overview, Chart and complete transcription. Band sounds great and everything is in sync. Two comments with constructive criticism in mind...
1. There are some portrait/landscape issues on the iPad. You can only get to full screen on the charts in landscape mode, and when you flip to navigate back you often return to a full screen pic of Garibaldi:)
2. Once you drop all the drum tracks out, there is no count in.
I know the app info states that you can print the charts, but I like to play the tracks from my phone while reading the charts on the iPad. But #1 makes this a little frustrating.
Overall these are sure fun to play, and the transcriptions also gives us some insight into d.g.'s innovative fills as well as the grooves we've come to love.
Well worth the $$

It's a great App! What else can I say? Very useful for younger musician's as myself that didn't really grow up on funk so I kinda look at it as a funk coarse.
Great content, app needs work
The content in this app is great, just like the original book but the app itself needs a bit more thought.
There needs to be an option to hide the player as when in portrait mode you can barely see half of the score and in landscape mode it's not much better. This makes it difficult to read the charts and play a whole track. I've had to open the charts in another app and use the player separately which is a bit of a pain and defeats the purpose of an app like this. We need to see a whole sheet of music and be able to hide the player please!
The mixer is great but it would be good if there was also a click track option. If you lower all the drums you can't hear a count into the track.
Otherwise very good idea.
