### 5/5 — fantastic

*2024-08-22*

### 5/5 — Fantastisch!

*2021-03-08*

Bin völlig begeistert von Inhalt, Sound und Handhabung dieser App!

### 5/5 — Sensationell

*2020-06-09*

Wer sich wirklich ernsthaft mit afrikanischer Musik auf höchstem Niveau beschäftigen will, dem sei dieses Juwel unter den Musik-Apps allerwärmstens empfohlen! Es ist nämlich unglaublich, was hier geboten wird: Zahlreiche und stilistisch breit gefächerte Aufnahmen hervorragender Musiker (sogar kulturgeographisch zugeordnet und beschrieben), komplett (!) für jedes Instrument ausnotiert, sogar die einzelnen Stimmen sind beim Abhören zu- beziehungsweise abschaltbar, selbst das Tempo ist einstellbar, und eine Loop-Funktion gibt's auch. 5 Sterne hat aber alleine schon die Musik verdient, die hier zu hören ist. Ich schreibe diese Rezension übrigens nur, weil es zu meiner großen Verwunderung anscheinend noch niemand gemacht hat.

### 5/5 — superb app for musicians

*2019-12-25*

gives you terrific compositions with ability to mute guitar and bass, drum and click, modify pitch tempo with real recordings with great feel. Totally cool learning and jamming.  A must for bassist or guitarist who wants to expand his groove and chops. The composer has the goods, so does the app company (real book pro) SO GOOD

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2019-09-18*

This app can support and inspire, and is a worthwhile complement to the essential iReal Pro, a game changer for musicians on iOS and ANDROID.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2019-03-27*

Great range of styles, with a very usable interface. 

The music examples have character too, which is often missing from music-teaching apps

Well worth it

### 4/5 — Excellent... espérons un suivi

*2019-03-22*

Très très bon, merci Lionel Loueke et les devs ! Une étoile manquante sur la note pour les tablatures qui ne sont pas parfaites (quelques coquilles par ci par là (notamment sur HOUSE OF SOUKOUS) et des positions sur le manche parfois incohérentes), et surtout en espérant des mises à jour de correctifs et espérons le, l’ajout de nouveaux morceaux...

### 5/5 — Eric N

*2015-08-23*

Amazing and beautiful app. Extraordinary grooves. Listen first and foremost. Improve your
reading by listening and looking at clean and accurate notation.This app is a gift and will take you places.
