### 2/5 — 失敗した

*2026-08-07*

金額に合わない。少ない、記号と違う

### 2/5 — Half baked

*2025-12-21*

Great idea, poor execution. Barely a few pages of content, and there’s literally entire sections that are still blank (arpeggio and pentatonic). Currently not worth 30 dollars.

### 5/5 — めっちゃ良い！

*2025-05-28*

先生に勧められて練習始めました。分かりやすいしやる気出る

### 4/5 — お金かかるけど

*2025-05-26*

買い切り型なので少し不安でしたが問題なく使えます。
フレーズが鳴ってくれるのでそれに合わせて練習できるのがありがたい。
Irealproはちょっと分かりずらい所があるのですがこっちはシンプルで操作が楽。

### 5/5 — アドリブ練習に使っています

*2025-05-26*

サックス奏者です。
ジャズのアドリブに挑戦しようと思っていたところ、先生から勧められたのでインストールしました。
シンプリでわかりやすいUIで使いやすいです

### 5/5 — わかりやすい！

*2025-05-24*

シンプルで無駄なものがなく、わかりやすいです。このアプリのおかげで練習モチベーションがあがります！！

### 5/5 — たのしい

*2025-05-23*

練習に最適です！

### 5/5 — 友人に勧められて

*2025-05-22*

アドリブが苦手なことを友人に話したところ、このアプリを勧められました！テンポも変えられるし移調もできるので色々練習してみようと思います。

### 5/5 — アドリブが楽しくなった！

*2025-05-22*

ジャズ初心者ですが、このアプリで毎日練習を続けていくうちに、だんだん自由に吹けるようになってきた気がします。
本当におすすめです！

### 5/5 — 良い

*2025-05-15*

フレーズガイドがついている練習アプリが他にないのでこれを選びました。
かなりの数のパターンがある為、飽きる事なく練習できます。
移調機能とテンポが変えられるのが地味に助かる
