Un grand bravo à toute l’équipe, on peut jammer pendant des heures et travailler le répertoire ! bien sûr cela ne remplacera jamais les copains en vrai, mais c’est un outil de travail inouï, a vos quartets ! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-30* Just a great sound to practice with - my own band in my own practice room at any time. Really easy to use and very versatile. I have the whole set and so many beautiful songs are covered. Thanks to the Quartet team ### 5/5 — Sehr schöne Playalongs mit natürlichem Klang *2026-08-30* Sehr schöne Begleitung mit echten Musikern, deutlich anders als iRaelPro. Ich spiele sehr gerne mit den Quartet aufnahmen, die Saxophon Soli sind zudem ein sehr schöne Inspirationsquelle ### 3/5 — Great app but recent update unusable *2026-08-28, version 3.0* When playing through AirPlay, the playback stutters in the latest version. This wasn’t an issue in previous versions. ### 4/5 — Brilliant! But! *2026-08-27, version 3.0* Why did they change the look? Preferred the original chords look which was softer on the eyes. Looks like iReal pro which I dislike for its look. If it ain’t broke why try to fix it? ### 5/5 — Nouvelle configuration de Quartet *2026-08-26* Merci et bravo pour les améliorations apportées. ✌️😊🎸 Nanou giuly ### 4/5 — Update *2026-08-26* Since the update came out, there is some cracking in every audio line, which makes it kind of unusable. This is the case on iPhone 14 with latest software update. Otherwise great app ### 5/5 — Great Update *2026-08-24* The update really hits the spot. I like the ability to have seperate mixes for each repeat. This allows me to work on comping and soloing back to back and simulates playing live quite well. The PDF print out is great for jams. I understand why there is no edit function like the competition but the quality of the backing and the now large number of tunes makes up for that. I’d to see more practice “tunes” if possible. Dare I say It? you could use this in a live situation. Perhaps as an add-on you could add ( or sell) separately, transcriptions of the guitar a sax parts? ### 5/5 — great update *2026-08-24* great update. Many thx for that. Good job and excellent musicians playing. ### 3/5 — Great for performace but *2026-08-24* The new chord font are so big (child abc book size) and jarring to look like a sea of letters and numbers. Really confusing. If it aint broken dont fix it. A missed opportunity for practise. You can loop parts of a song to practise BUT you can't save it as a favourite and come back to it, you have to redo it everytime you start the app. The interface in genral needs to be looked at by a U.I designer. ## Frequently asked questions about Quartet 1 ### What is Quartet Volume 1?
