I love it and use it all the time but I swear eventually it’s also the absolute worst because if you go off of it for even a SECOND all the progress you made on a tune and didn’t save gets destroyed. It’s 2026 man, come on that’s just annoying and pathetic and really boring. Auto-save exists don’t mess with me ### 4/5 — dossier de playlist *2026-06-16* J’utilise iReal Pro depuis de nombreuses années et j’ai maintenant plus de 3 000 morceaux dans ma bibliothèque. Une fonctionnalité qui me manque vraiment serait la possibilité de créer des sous-dossiers ou des dossiers de playlists, plutôt que de simples listes. Par exemple, dans mon dossier « Brésil », j’aimerais pouvoir séparer les Bossas Novas des Sambas et des MPB. Dans mon dossier « Jazz », distinguer les valses des blues. Et dans mes chansons françaises, regrouper séparément les chansons paillardes et les chansons romantiques 😊 Avec de très grandes bibliothèques, cette organisation hiérarchique rendrait iReal Pro encore plus pratique et agréable à utiliser. 👋🏻🙏🏻 ### 4/5 — Amazing app - one glitch needs fixed, though. *2026-06-04, version 2026.6.1* One little problem - if you set the chord diagrams to “off” they don’t go away like intuition leads you to think. You have to switch back to one of the instruments (guitar, piano, bass) and make sure it’s switched it off there or they won’t go away even if you select “off”. I thought it was broken but it’s just a broken bit of programming. That’s the work around, though. Please fix this, team. If I switch to off, it should turn off. Thank you! Love the app so much! Use it for my original tunes, too! Very good! ### 2/5 — 앱이 자꾸 삭제돼요 *2026-04-29, version 2026.4.1* 앱을 삭제하지 않았는데 다음날 되면 자꾸 어플이 삭제 돼있어요 ### 3/5 — Ottima, ma… *2026-04-28, version 2026.4.1* Ottima applicazione in ogni sua sfaccettatura. Sarebbe il top riuscire ad importare immagini/pdf. ### 3/5 — Missing Lead Sheets *2026-04-28, version 2026.4.1* Wishing for this app to work more like iReal.site did. I would pay for it too. Why can’t that be a thing? ### 3/5 — Sounds real good. *2026-04-22, version 2026.4* Sounds good ### 5/5 — Thanks *2026-04-20, version 2026.4* Help for musician ### 4/5 — Needs capo function *2026-04-13, version 2026.3.4* This program is wonderful not only for jazz guitarists, but for singers as well, as well as other such solo instrumentalists. Although most jazz guitarists like moveable chords, and hardly know what a capo is, this app is far more versatile than its service to the jazz community would suggest, and is is a shame that the long standing clamor for a simple capo function has fallen only upon deaf ears always to date. ### 5/5 — All my trumpet students have this app. *2026-04-12, version 2026.3.4* Great app for teaching improvisation. For a jazz version of happy birthday I use the first 8 bars of It’s Only A Paper Moon. ### 5/5 — Keep getting better *2026-04-12, version 2026.3.4* As I keep using, I keep growing. ### 2/5 — The big problem *2026-04-09, version 2026.3.4* I love the app, but the separate purchase for Mac and iPhone is very disappointing. It’s unacceptable that I have to pay twice just to use the same app. ### 4/5 — Bassman’s Review of IRealpro *2026-04-08, version 2026.3.4* Fully functional , charts can be difficult to read at a glance but still good. Multiple pages would be great . ### 5/5 — super bis auf fehlendes Ending *2026-04-08* 5 Sterne für Auswahl, Flexibilität, Stile... wichtigste Übungsapp für Jazz. Wunsch: Beim letzten Chorus bitte einen Standardschluss automatisch dranhängen oder zur Auswahl anbieten, das wäre super! ### 5/5 — 가격은 좀 올랐지만 전공생한텐 필수앱 *2026-04-07* 안드로이드 쓸때는 만얼마에 샀는데 애플은 거의 2~3배 차이나네요 그래도뭐 아이폰으로 바꿨으니 어쩔수없이 구매함 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-04-07, version 2026.3.4* After years of playing Rock Bass Guitar this app has played a truly marvellous role in helping me learn to play Jazz. ### 4/5 — Add Custom Meters and Subdivision Control *2026-04-04, version 2026.3.4* We already have 5/8, 7/8, 9/8 — but no control over subdivisions. Without defining patterns like 3+2+2+3, these meters don’t really groove. Please add customizable time signatures with subdivision support. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-04-04, version 2026.3.4* Muy buena aplicación hace años que la uso y no me ha decepcionado ### 5/5 — “JAM SESSION” 😎 *2026-04-02, version 2026.3.4* The multiple rhythms are sure to carry you on a musical journey around the world; absolutely! 💯 A must have for all the retiree musicians done with gigs and playing in night clubs! 🤩 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I Don’t Get It *2026-04-15, version 2026.3.4* Paid for this app at the suggestion of another musician. I wanted to use it for the drum loops. For rock or pop stuff, for many of the drum tracks, there is no variation at all…they are identical; just with a different name. I’ve not found this app useful or easily comprehensible. ### 1/5 — No es de un solo pago *2026-01-07, version 2025.12.1* Me volvió a cobrar para bajarla en la mac, malisimo. ### 1/5 — Bass *2025-11-23, version 2025.11* Please put Real Bass. Real Tracks. Sounds too robotic and bad… ### 1/5 — Impossibile download di spartiti dal sito *2025-11-22, version 8.3.2* Questa app mi ha impallato il vecchio IPad, dove l'ho utilizzata fino a una settimana fa... Il "word forum" ha mandato in crash tutto e ho dovuto farlo riformattare. Ho reinserito l'applicazione e di nuovo si è impallata e non mi scarica nessuna playlist dal sito...praticamente non serve più a nulla, perché non posso scaricare tutti gli standard jazz e pop che avevo prima... Come devo fare per ottenere di nuovo gli spartiti? ### 1/5 — Lässt sich nicht mehr starten *2025-06-25, version 2025.4* Stürzt seit dem letzten update zuverlässig direkt bei Programmstart ab. iOS 17.7.8….. ### 1/5 — Can I get a refund? *2025-03-08, version 2025.2* Not at all what I was looking for. Songs I imported sound pathetically amateurish. Wanted something to play along with and every sample I’ve listened too. $20 wasted. ### 1/5 — Worst registration process ever. *2024-11-21, version 2024.7.1* I wish I could tell what I think about what this app does. It might just be amazing. Certainly some people seem to think it is. However the needlessly complicated registration process had me fuming from the moment I started to register and after 45 minutes I never did get registered. I don't know whether I hate this app or not, but I certainly hate its registration process. ### 1/5 — very disappointing *2024-11-07, version 2024.7.1* this app is not what it’s cracked up to be. days gone by would have been useful and considered to be an app of high quality, but it seems since those days the developers have made no improvements and have kept the old and clunky user interface. keeping with this outdated theme, the terrible midi makes me feel like i’m listening to a backing track made by a monkey hitting a soundboard with a hammer. Hopefully the developers see this and decide maybe it’s time to make their app something which caters to users who prefer technology which has the appearance or sound of an app made after the industrial revolution, but until then - 1 star ### 1/5 — Molto da migliorare *2024-10-06, version 2024.7.1* Pensavo di poter scrivere le sigle degli accordi in maniera semplice ma faccio prima con carta e penna, non è per niente intuitivo: se faccio copia e incolla di una sequenza di accordi, me li copia uscendo fuori dal foglio; poi cosa assurda non puoi aggiungere altre pagine, se un brano ha molti accordi, quando completi la prima pagina devi aprire un altro brano nuovo e rimettere titolo, autore, stile ecc ecc. mah! Non ti permette di scrivere c#/e#, non ti permettere di scrivere qualsiasi accordo 4/7, insomma oggi ho buttato 23€ e un giorno di lavoro. ### 1/5 — Where is duolingo for this, lol *2024-08-22, version 2024.7.1* I do not understand why everybody raves about this. I have no idea how to decipher these gobbledygook charts. No lyrics no nothing. Just a bunch of slashes and triangles and stuff. Get guitar tapp, it at least has the lyrics and where the changes are. This is terrible. I guess they just assume you magically already know "chart-ese" Update - there's no way like in the app it doesn't even show you what your username and password is. This is the most complicated load of garbage I ever saw in my life.. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great product *2026-08-03, version 2026.6.3* I have used this for ages, it is one of the best apps for musicians. ### 5/5 — Fiddle learning skyrocketed *2026-07-23, version 2026.6.3* This is the best paid app ive ever used. I was learning traditional fiddle and bluegrass, and i was able to program the songs in and play along with to practice at all speeds. And i can hear when im out of tune. You can select styles like bluegrass and i have a basic banjo roll playong the chords ### 5/5 — Cost over $20 and you still need in app purchases *2026-06-07, version 2026.6.1* This is pretty much of a scam charging $20 for the app which gives you very little and then asks for more money to make your purchase semi worth it ### 5/5 — Obligatoria *2026-05-20, version 2026.5* A día de hoy cualquier músico tiene que incorporar esta app en su rutina diaria de estudio. Es imprescindible. ### 5/5 — Super useful *2026-05-17, version 2026.5* Super handy app for practicing and sessions ### 5/5 — Paterne de batterie *2026-05-13* Dommage que l’on ne puisse pas faire ces propres paterne de batteries. ### 5/5 — Sax play *2026-05-12, version 2026.4.1* I invested in iRealPro as an emergency at a workshop/jam session. It has changed the way I practice and play. It’s my go-to resource and I wouldn’t be without it. It beats all the books out there. ### 5/5 — Traduction en français *2026-05-04* Svp traduire en français les réponses aux questions , les astuces mérci ### 5/5 — Best music tool & toy *2026-05-04, version 2026.4.1* I love it it is well design and very useful! ### 5/5 — Shockingly helpful *2026-04-28, version 2026.4.1* It’s an amazing list of tunes, yes, but the real magic is play along in all 12 keys! It’s become an invaluable part of my daily practice. Coltrane used to have a piano player comp for him to practice. I may not be Trane, but at least I can practice like him. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
