User reviews

Extremely helpful aid to practice

Appcompanist has a very wide range of music and so helpful to be able to vary the key and also the speed. A really helpful aid to learning songs and arias.

Review from NC

Appcompanist is so helpful for teaching art songs to musical theater and even opera. I have used it as a professor of music in higher education for the past 3 years, when I don’t have an accompanist. My only mild complaint is that sometimes it will say that it is in a particular key, but when I begin the solo line I discover that it is in the wrong key. But I figure it out.

Useful but bugged

UI is really bad for Apple users around subscriptions

Amazing

This has been a life saver for practicing songs at tempo. Even when sheet music isn’t within reach. One tiny issue I have is that certain songs don’t have the certain “official” keys. For example, a piece that’s written in a minor key, but on the app the keys are all in major. Not a dealbreaker at all, just something I noticed.

6 song Subscription doesn’t work

Great selection of songs and helpful for any singer, but the subscription model is buggy. when I hit restore subscription, my app crashes and I can’t access what I paid for. Unfortunate, there’s not a lot of resources like this.
