Cheers ### 5/5 — Fantastic Educational and Fun App! *2016-01-16, version 1.0* What a great app and to be able to experience playing with the Bob Mintzer Big Band like you're right there with them! Even just listening to different tracks soloed is a learning experience to hear how the individual players play their parts. I love the features to print parts, email tracks, and so forth. Great job with this! Can't wait for more artists to jump on the "band" wagon and more charts! (Yellowjackets tracks?!!) ### 5/5 — Phenomenal! *2016-01-01, version 1.0* An absolutely incredible app, essential for any big band drummer! The charts are a little pricy to get all of them (as they're £3.99 each), but considering the sheer amount of work that's gone into these charts from a long the players it's actually incredibly reasonable. Can't wait to progressively purchase and study these charts! Once again, incredible app, incredible music, and thank you for finding another medium in which to progress my playing ability! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Non consente di stampare le parti *2025-01-08, version 1.3* Nè l’invio delle parti via mail nè la loro stampa funziona ### 1/5 — Ganz schlechter Support... *2023-02-14, version 1.2.1.1* Plötzlich geht hier leider nichts mehr, übrigens bei allen Apps dieser Reihe. Superschade, denn die Songs waren echt toll zum mitspielen geeignet. So allerdings viel Geld für einen echt miesen Support ausgegeben. Unverschämtheit! Suddenly, unfortunately, nothing works here anymore, by the way, with all apps in this series. Too bad, because the songs were really great for playing along. However, a lot of money was spent on really bad support. Outrageousness! ### 1/5 — Do not buy it *2023-01-24, version 1.2.1.1* They haven’t updated the app, I lost my money!!! ### 1/5 — If it worked… *2022-10-30, version 1.2.1.1* … it would probably be a great app. But with new iOS the music won’t play anymore. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work since *2022-10-04, version 1.2.1.1* IOS - no response from Support when email contact… ### 1/5 — SOLDI BUTTATI *2018-02-02, version 1.2.1* Spendere 10€ per avere due soli play along gratis mentre gli altri bisogna acquistarli è proprio una truffa!!! ### 1/5 — 起動しない *2016-02-29, version 1.1* 最初起動してApp内課金したら、とたんに起動しなくなったのはどういう罠？ ### 2/5 — She No Play *2022-12-03, version 1.2.1.1* It’s true - on an iPhone 14 pro with iOS 16.1.1 that the play button does nothing now. Still works on the Latin Essentials app though. Please fix oh fuzzy one. Randy ### 3/5 — can not print scores *2025-02-22* Hi just bought this app and can not print the scores as stated and can not email either, not satisfied because of this ### 3/5 — Great App, but read carefully for all charges. *2020-05-13, version 1.2.1* I guess I didn’t read closely enough. I thought I was getting all songs for $9.99, but you only get two. The in app purchase is then $19.99 for the rest of the tunes. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — アマチュアビッグバンドは取り入れた方がタメになる *2025-02-02, version 1.3* 音質も良いがためにニュアンスまで参考になる ### 5/5 — This is a great set up for practic *2024-09-13, version 1.3* Just noticed there are paid options. ### 5/5 — The app is now broken since the latest iOS upgrade *2022-11-18, version 1.2.1.1* No tracks play in this or any other Fuzzy Music app. ### 5/5 — Per esercitarsi in big band *2022-08-11, version 1.2.1.1* Per ogni brano ci sono le parti stampabili per ogni strumento. C'è un mixer per controllare ogni volume separato, click, ecc. Per me è un'app unica nel suo genere. Visto il nome di Mintzer non poteva che essere così👍👍 ### 5/5 — 大変素敵なアプリ *2021-03-17, version 1.2.1.1* ビッグバンドで演奏している全てのプレイヤーにオススメします。素晴らしい❗️ ### 5/5 — Perfect *2021-01-13, version 1.2.1.1* Rien à dire sauf que j’aimerais une version iMac pour mon home studio. ### 5/5 — Fabulous ! *2019-04-14, version 1.2.1* Exactly what you need to play with a big band ! A master piece. ### 5/5 — Un vrai & réel Big Band! *2019-01-21, version 1.2.1* Certainement ce qui se fait de mieux en matière de pédagogie et/ou de mise en situation musicale. Un must à absolument posséder, tout y est : les partitions (drums, piano, basse, saxes ...), tout est écrit, un mixer permettant aussi de choisir les instruments à écouter, que demander de plus ?... Seule condition pour profiter pleinement de cette formidable application : savoir bien lire et interpréter la musique, avoir une très bonne connaissance du style Jazz et Big Band, un niveau avancé et/ou supérieur ... En résumé, pas du tout pour les débutants(es) et du travail pour des années ! ### 5/5 — Excellent Teaching Tool.!! *2016-09-22, version 1.1* Use this regularly now with my HE Jazz students and they love it.! Great concept and nothing else like it out there. Well worth money for other charts. One small glitch I've noticed on iPad is that if you start the app in landscape and turn to portrait, you can swipe the menu in and out no problem leaving a full screen view of the chart. However, if you start the app in portrait mode the swipe away menu option isn't available until you've turned the iPad to landscape and then back to portrait. Not a big deal, but just a little bug that's worth a mention. Overall amazing though.! Thanks. ### 5/5 — Great music in a user friendly package *2016-03-16, version 1.1* Instantly usable due to it’s elegant design, this is such a fun pack. Definitely going to be getting the additional charts having enjoyed the two free tunes included. This is amazing value for the opportunity to play along with world-class musicians! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
