### 5/5 — Killin’

*2026-08-20*

Soooooo much better than ireal pro. No comparison. Just need more tunes!

### 4/5 — Seems ok

*2026-08-13*

So far so good

### 5/5 — Russ Shtar

*2026-08-12*

Very useful it’s so comfortable

### 1/5 — I signed up for $3.29 per month and was charged $14.99

*2026-08-04, version 1.6.6*

Scam

### 4/5 — Manque de Basse

*2026-07-16*

On entend pas assez la basse sur certains morceaux ! Bizarre !

### 3/5 — Good but room for improvement.

*2026-07-12*

The default tracks are great but transposing and tempo changes do not sound so good. Personally I would like slower versions of tracks especially the practice tracks (2 5 1’s). Also is looping a section possible?

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-07-03*

Excelente! o app oferece som real com instrumentos gravados! Pede sugestoes de novos temas musicais e espero que nossas sugestoes sejam atendidas em breve!

### 5/5 — Wrong key and out of tune

*2026-07-02*

EDIT:  The problems I originally encountered have been addressed and this is now my favorite way to practice.  Way to go on the fixes!

I also had high hopes for this and was sad to see that the key changes seem to have similar issues to what I’ve noticed on other key changing apps/programs, and this was on an iPad Pro which is able to handle pretty much everything. I subscribed for one month and cancelled. I’d love to check it out again if it’s fixed.

### 3/5 — Chord Highlights Don’t Match The Sound Yet

*2026-06-28*

This is the beginning of this app. I’m
One of the first to jump in because I love real accompaniment here compared to iReal. However, more tweak needs to be done on the is at this time. The jumping chord highlights is easy ahead of the played chord/sound. It’s the same for all the songs. This needs to be fixed asap. This ought to have been fixed before launching this app at all. The least would have been to launch for free, get feedback on bugs to fixe, fix them and then start subscriptions. I really want this app to succeed but more work needs to be done at this initial starting time. I’d like to grow with it/you Chad!

### 5/5 — Really Good App

*2026-06-25*

I have been really enjoying this app. The musicianship is high within the backing tracks, the UI is sleek and easy to use, and the tune library is quite vast already for an app that released not too long ago. I also appreciate that you can customize the bpm and key for any tune (and it doesn’t sound weird or off to me).

I also really appreciate update 1.6.0, which fixed my only previous frustration with the app (that the visual highlighting would get ahead of the tune).
