Could be good. But….
I play Irish music and would like to set up categories for jig, reel, hornpipe etc. My composers would be all completely different, if they were even known. For me would be better to use a tune source or recording reference.
The app has potential but is not flexible for types of music other than the classical music that is included.

Hi Talindar, you could try out searching via Repertoire - Search & add piece. The pieces included in the internal database are only visible on the "All Pieces" view in the Repertoire. Nevertheless, I filed a feature request to consider removing the internal pieces from the database. Also i filed one for an additional free category attribute. You could use Genre, which is free to define on your own to categorize your pieces or arrange them in a playlist, for the moment. Arno
Geniale App, aber Stürzt ab.

Hallo Nipash, ich würde gerne die auftretenden Abstürze näher untersuchen. Wäre es möglich, mir ungefähr die Bereiche oder Workflows grob zu Beschreiben, in denen Problme häufig auftreten? Kontakt gerne über E-mail auf Englisch oder Deutsch: info@playnpractice.com Vielen Dank Arno
Absolutely stellar
What I like
- The MusicBrainz database has all the pieces I’ve searched for — from classical, new age jazz, to show tunes
- the prompt to practice scales appropriate for each piece
- the graphical layout showing my practice time for the day, week, month or year
- support — the developer is very responsive
- repertoire management
I’m still discovering features and tremendously excited about using the app to its full potential
Great app!!
This is really an incredible app! All previous issues have been corrected. I'm actually a guitarist, but Play n' Practice is thought out better than ANY of the music journal/practice apps I have been able to find. I would like to see a few things incorporated that I think would really benefit it's usefulness to non-piano players, however, I will send a personal email as this app is everything the developer advertises it is! There is nothing better to be found..period! Thank you for your time and commitment to making this the best app of it's kind available!!

Hi, thank you so much for your review, I'm working intensively these days to remove all the issues reported. An update (3.1.2) is on it's way to the AppStore and will be released soon. Pls. feel free to contact me for further questions under info@ctrl-h.de. Arno
Excellent Tool for Pianists at all levels.

Hi, thank you for your review. A few words for explanation: PDFs are not included within the app for copyright reasons. The database consists only in information about the pieces and their composers as explained in the product description. A good source for PDF sheets is http://IMSLP.org. I use it extensively besides many commercial sheets e.g. from Henle. Pls. also note that the free version limits the number of workouts you can perform to 5-10. Feel free to contact me at info@playnpractice.com for further questions. Thank you as well for your hint about the missing contact. I will add my contact email to the about box for the next release. Regards Arno
