Disappointed with the sound quality

The features for managing rhythmic and harmonic complexity are great on paper, but the app falls short on the most important aspect: the sound. The bass, drums, and piano sound artificial and really bad, making it annoying and exhausting to practice for more than ten minutes. For a professional tool dedicated to musicians, the sound production is definitely insufficient. Additionally, an on-screen piano keyboard is sorely needed to actually visualize the voicings being played. That being said, the app has all the potential to be a truly great tool if these issues are addressed.

Great. Needs tweaking.

This app is close to perfect. The weakest link by miles is the piano comping. It sounds really unnatural. Also, with the Swing rhythm I find myself wishing that the bass would just walk more. Lastly, export to wav would be a brilliant addition.

Great for practice!

This app stands out because of the realistic tracks you can create without a subscription. It even offers the ability to change rhythm and harmony along with transposition, tempo and key changes. I would like the app to transfer charts between devices, but it earns five stars as it is. Worthy of mention: I found a small glitch in using transposition and called it to the attention of the developer. I got an immediate response and the bug was quashed and in an updated version within days. Impressive!

Now requires mandatory login

Former standalone use is now prohibited. Bought this app without mandatory data sharing. This is made worse, as a previous e-mail exchange lead to doubts wether the author knows or cares, what data protection really means. Please add an opt-out to the login-screen!

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. This update introduced device sync and backup. It was one of the most requested features and is now available. We have been very clear about this change in the app description, onboarding flow, and app update notes. A few clarifications because parts of this review are inaccurate: • Email signup is required only for syncing and backup across your own devices. • No additional personal data is required beyond basic login information. • No user data is shared with third parties. We take privacy seriously. At this time, we are not planning to add a bypass for the login flow, since sync and backup are now part of the core app experience.

Very Good

Great sounding
Sounds a lot better than iReal

Thanks for the feedback and the stars! 🙏

Does what it says on the tin… very, very well

Your very own trio, covering most Jazz Standards and with the breadth of choice growing all the time. The App Store description is spot on, and it will run on Tahoe, too.
The developer responds personally to clearly described bugs and, in my case, fixes them within days… wow!
Find the standard you need, set your tempo, tweak the feel to your liking, and tweak the balance of the ensemble; all that within a few seconds. Then get on with learning the tune and practising your improvisation - the stuff you really need to be doing!
Thank you Antonis, you’ve helped me make progress, big time!

Mandatory Login? No Thanks

Was good now I just deleted it, back to IReal Pro no login hassles required.

Update broke some things

Several songs won’t play audio since this update. I thought it was just when I searched for a song but I’ve discovered that there are just random songs that no longer work.

Too many bugs

I upgraded recently but I’ve experienced nothing but trouble since. It takes ages to load and when I do get to the song I want and press on it, it often sends me back to the main library. Very frustrating.

Developer Says No Subscription Coming

Correspondence from developer promises: NO SUBSCRIPTION coming after recent update. Seems shortsighted not to have include this in the updated App Store info. FYI, you can no longer access app until you give them your email and create an account. Update looks like a mostly polished GUI song browsing update, I’m not inherently seeing the reason for the necessary account creation. Will wait and see.

Bummer

Like the old version better, don’t want to give y’all my email to use the app. Bummer, since I already paid for the app - oh well .

Response from developer

You’re rating the app based on a guess. We do understand your concern, though. To clarify things plainly: you paid once, you’re using the app, and there is NO subscription being introduced. Now that you have this clarification from our side, we kindly ask you to consider updating or removing your review so it reflects your actual experience with the app. App reviews are meant to be based on real, hands-on use, so other users can learn something useful from them, not hypothetical concerns. As it stands, this one-star review feels more like a preemptive judgment, which isn’t really fair.

Walking bass on swing tunes does not sound natural

I recently purchased this app and I have yet to hear a bass part that sounds natural. So far I have listened to the bass part in swing and bossy nova styles and the bass part does not sound natural. In this respect Genius Jamtrack is no match for IReal Pro.

Unstable!

Interesting App, but I keeps crashing! It does this regularly during practice. Last time I used it was during a garden party, in front of guests, and suddenly it just crashed while streaming through my sound system! Very embarrassing!! I will revert to my trusted alternatives which are way more stable.

Great but

Great app, much better sound and comp than the classical backtrack app. I would have given a 5 star if it did not miss a major feature: we can’t share a song that we wrote - neither between my iPhone and my iPad, or with friends. That could be a show stopper if you want to write lots of songs! Is that going to fixed soon?

Thanks for the feedback and the stars! 🙏 That feature is actually already in. You can now share songs between devices and with others. The app has had many improvements and additions since your review, so feel free to complete the 5-star collection 😊

Wonderful App

I have enjoyed using Genius Jamtracks. It is super useful for writing and arranging as well as playing through standard tunes.

Very Bad Sound and Swing

I bought it to avoid the monotonous sound of iReal but guess what- it sounds worse and the swing is just unusable! If you’re a serious jazz musician you’ll hear it immediately. The only thing it’s offering is some sort of polyrhythm from the rhythm section which also sounds very unmusical. A total waste of 20Euro. Their strong marketing policy led me to buy it I guess.
