### 5/5 — great update

*2026-08-24*

great update. Many thx for that. Good job and excellent musicians playing.

### 5/5 — Super appli.de jazz Quartet 1 à 6 !

*2026-08-23*

L’application est top pour travailler et se faire accompagner même en concert , avec des vrais musiciens de talents , les standards de jazz . Indispensable pour tous les musiciens de jazz .
Bravo.

### 5/5 — Top app

*2026-08-23*

Great app, beats all the similiar ones out there. Compliments ireal pro, which is a different beast. I hope they keep producing new editions.

### 2/5 — Price

*2026-06-11*

Nice app but way to expensive

### 2/5 — Playlists are a disaster area!

*2026-05-18*

In addition to my previous comments about the very poor user interface, I have to say that the whole Playlists feature appears to be a disaster area.  To take just one example, today I created a new playlist with (as I thought) one tune to start with - Alfie.  Quartet very kindly added 24 more tunes, all beginning with ‘A’, so 25 in all.  Admittedly, they were mostly quite nice tunes, but I hadn’t asked for them.  The whole user interface seems amateurish, and puts me right off spending yet more valuable time trying to use the app.
Back to good old iReal Pro, which actually *works*!

### 5/5 — Absolutely invaluable app!

*2026-04-01*

It’s incredible to think you can get 150 first class backing tracks that are incredibly useful for practicing and performing for such a small cost. Connect your iPad to a decent size speaker and it’s exactly like having a world class quartet in your practice room. Unbelievably good quality, fun to use and because you can loop sections it’s invaluable for practice. Thank you so much Quartet team, this is the best app on the AppStore!

### 4/5 — Portrait Orientation

*2026-01-18*

Love the app! Great quality tracks. Wishlist:

1) Orientation flexibility, so we can have portrait mode.
2) A single consolidated app, in lieu of 1, 2, 3, etc.

### 5/5 — Get all the bundles!

*2025-11-24*

This is a great program. I am recommending the apps to my students and other musicians. Not only is the program great, but the customer service and resource information is outstanding.

### 4/5 — Super nice but…

*2025-10-11*

As I say in the title, this is a very nice sounding app. The recordings are very nice, but it could use some improvement so here’s my wish list:
1. Add a tap tempo button.
2. It would be nice to be able to make your own charts and have the band follow in different styles.
3. Not all recordings are super nice. Most of them are, but for example, Fly me to the Moon the drums are horrible.
4. There is no mixer to play with the levels of the instruments. It would be nice to have a mixer.
5. You can only export the file to M4A format it would be nice if you could export to WAV file and MP3 which are more commonly used.
6. It would also be nice if you could export the chord chart as a normal chart or have a choice to view the chords in different ways normal chart or the default way.
7. You have a choice of having the Quartet playing, having Bass and Piano or bass and Drums, but there is no way to just have Drumms only Adding a mixer with alleviate this.
8. The endings have no turn around like a lot of standards do so they end abruptly and well… it be nice if we had the choice.
9. There is no intuitive way to play your personal playlists, you have to click the Edit graphic to be able to see the list you created also as you make your list it’s displayed backwards the first file you add will show up last and the last file you make will show up first. There is a way to rearrange the list but that’s an extra unnecessary step.
10. A lot of the swing files are really fast though they sound nice that speed may not be what the audience is familiar with for example A Foggy Day is recorded at 200 bpm when the most famous recording is around 150 bpm that’s a lot of difference maybe they should have two versions of the song the one they want and the bpm tempo of the one that’s the most famous recording. Like they have two versions of Autumn Leaves.

As for bouncing:
You can bounce to stems for an extra fee or 99¢ per song, it should really be for free I mean the bundle is almost $40 and each separate is $15 a lot of music apps allow stems for free. 
All in all I really like it and I recommend it but hopefully they will be developing and adding these much needed features for free.

### 5/5 — Fantastic backing tracks

*2024-02-13*

Not a long review. I had their quartet 1 app and love it. This is the same but obviously with a new collection of jazz standards. The quality is really good and I love how many of them have intros. I also like the way you can loop over sections, slow things down, change keys, and export as a file. 
I do wish I could view a list of all available tracks for quick reference (same for their other backing track apps) I find I’m spending too time simply trying to find what app has the track Im looking for.
