Unintuitive
I can’t get it to accept “Em7,A7” in one measure so I’m giving up (IPhone user)
Thanks for great app
This app is great. On my iPhone I can create or access iCloud music on the go with ease. No laptop no iPad. At home I can create on iPhone laptop or iPad. Save songs to iCloud. Access all my songs while I’m out on iPhone. This is great for my solo act. All I carry now are my saxophone Bose S1 and iPhone. BAM!

Can’t change style or form
For some reason this product has gone from being a fantastic tool to complete rubbish.
I have been a user of BIAB on Windows for a while and have found it to be a great songwriting aide.
I recently downloaded the iOS version for my iPad a few months back and was happily using it until today when all of a sudden it has gone nuts. None of the changes I make to a file get applied to playback.
No changes means chords, styles, form…nothing!
The product has basically become useless.
Such a pity….

Awesome App
I have been a user of the PC version of BIAB for many years (from way back in the days of DOS). I like how they have set up the ios version with the server link to regenerate backing tracks. Took a bit of trial and error to get the hang of the workflow. Good job!
Review
Band in s Box is a wonderful song and performance app that lets you create your own music the way you want it. It lets you create a style for whatever genre you prefer and create a melody that you prefer.
Whenever you type in your chords to be played in whatever key you wish you can generate a song style that you like and create your own song the way you want it.
It’s fun and easy to use for your own personal taste in music.
Have fun and enjoy.

Downloaded 2.0.6 ver . Will not play/ generate realtracks, only midi. The pick server option is missing.
Would love to use , has many other useful features but the midi audio is a non starter.

Really??
Unless I’m missing something, and I truly hope that I am, it is NOT possible to enter two chords (or more) into a measure. I find it hard to believe that they would release this without this most basic of chord entry options. I called PGMUSIC and received no help whatsoever. The person I spoke to had no answer and promised me a call back from someone familiar with the app. This never happened. So for now the app sits in a “waiting for updates” folder on my iPad. Please tell me that there is a way to do this and I will immediately update my review. Hoping for the best.

Wanted to like it.
So what it’s doing sounds good when you generate. Problem is, once it generates none of the instruments will adjust, or mute, you can’t change say the guitar (or any of the other instruments)from electric to acoustic ect. I know how to do it, but nothing happens when changes are made. Which kinda makes this un-usable. Needs an update to get the bugs out.

Styles broken?
It will constantly get stuck on a style and then not change what it’s playing even if I go in and change chords it will just play this sequence over and over
I need a Loop function
If I want to practice a specific segment of an entire progression, I hope I could select the segment and press a Loop button to loop the section. Please add the function.
Great for what it is, if not for the bugs
When I first got this app I was delighted. A simple version of BIAB that can be used to jam over progressions. But the bugs ruin it. With the latest update, the ability to transpose has gone away. I use this function to practice improvising in every key. Not anymore, apparently. Of course I can just make songs for every key, but I shouldn’t have to. Even a free version of an app should do what it says it should.

Fools Ya!
The demos of Real Instrument tracks are awesome! But don’t get too excited, because when you load them they sound nothing like the demo. The instrument quality sounds synthesized and the balances are poor. I have dabbled with BitB for years and it always comes up short. I thought Real Tracks finally made it useable, but it doesn’t. I suppose it’s good for quick ideas , because it’s pretty easy to use. But don’t count on using it to create anything you want to be proud of. Because it sounds pretty cheesy.

Mr Dantzie
Can bias include looping bars feature, and transposing facility for transposing instruments? Also to be able to change key automatically for practice purposes?
Unstable
This app is super promising but it lacks stability. I’d sometimes save your song and most of the time it appears to be working fine but not really saving the file anywhere (local/files app). There’s vast variety of great genres, great realistic accompaniment, but it’s frustrating how much time is wasted after losing all your work.

hopeful
with this new release, this BB version could actually be what I am interested in, though I just tried some realtracks and the voice leading in the accompaniments are as crazy as ever, they don't follow smooth voice leading. For now I leave five stars, these drums sound great. How usable will this app be to pros, as I am, will remain to be seen, but I am hopeful. Let's see how this one turns out.

What I have been waiting for
Long time user. Started in the 90’s on windows and moved to Mac @2015. All my files and the software maxed my storage so I had to run it on a thumb drive. As a lot of the program is on the server and I have a M1 iPad Pro this is the solution I was hoping for. Tried a sample of all my files and found no issues on day one. This is so much more convenient to use. Got a feeling this will be a subscription, which I hate. We shall see.

Doesn’t save or load existing songs properly
Just lost most of my song. When reloading it from the saved file, most of the chords beyond bar 40 are gone, total count gone, tempo gone. This is buggy AF.
Notation has bugs/issues
I am very happy with this app EXCEPT for the notation feature, it works very seldomly. Sometimes it’ll show the arrangement score, but most of the time regenerating only shows whole bar rests. This is my favourite feature as someone learning to make arrangements so PLEASE fix the inconsistency!
How to
Great app S a long time user on p.c. I find this a great partner on my iPad but need the manual and how do I get the paid version and some info on it
