# RealTunes — user reviews > 19 indexed App Store user reviews of RealTunes by Anthony Byrne. - Source: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/realtunes/id578146623/reviews - App overview in markdown: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/realtunes/id578146623.md ## Newest reviews (3 of 19) ### 1/5 — Not standalone *2013-12-23, version 1.0.6* It should be made clearer that this is not a standalone app. On it's own, it has no real value. ### 1/5 — Promising, but serious issues wrong with this. *2013-12-06, version 1.0.5* Cannot select page numbers for large PDF files in the reader - I have several real books which are each contained in one large PDF file. Also, there is no link to the real books 1, 2 and 3 content that I can see. Fix these issues and I'll change the rating. ### 1/5 — Difficult to Load *2013-12-05, version 1.0.5* You have to load tunes from Dropbox. So I paid to download all the Real Books online. I tried to transfer from Dropbox, but the PDF file names don't match this apps' designated file names so it won't load, leaving the app useless for me. Disappointed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was Not Expecting This *2024-07-15, version 2.3* Definitely not what I was expecting when I bought. No tunes. ### 1/5 — Rip Off *2019-05-19, version 1.6* Not worth the price. Read the fine print. You only get eight public domain tunes. Oh, but he includes the table of contents from The Real Book. A classic rip off. ### 1/5 — Deleted right away *2019-05-17, version 1.6* There are no fake books here... ### 1/5 — Waste of $$ *2018-04-13, version 1.3* Do not buy this app if you are expecting to be able to download charts from The Real Book Series. You have to buy the cd roms for 30.00 to 40.00 each. This app takes your money to basically provide an organization tool if you happen to have pdf charts. Extremely disappointed this is not made clear before purchase. ### 1/5 — deceptive- zero content! *2017-07-18, version 1.2.5* rubbishhhhhhhhhhh ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money *2016-04-01, version 1.0.9* This app is completely pointless. You pay $5 to download this app only to pay an additional $90 for the content (the 3 real books in PDF form). It's a complete waste of money especially if you already own some of these books in there physical form which you means you basically would be purchasing them again just to read it off a tiny screen ### 1/5 — Do not waist your money! *2015-12-26, version 1.0.9* Not sure what good this app is for other than it getting you to spend $4.99 for no content. Meh! ### 1/5 — Awful app *2015-07-28, version 1.0.9* I played with this app for 3 hrs attempting to load titles... After no success at all.... I contacted via email.. The response was pretty prompt. I was given the same instruction as in the directions and videos.. I noticed the video asked for cd rom's... I was told that the material was copy written and that I need to make direct purchases for any music... The cost per book was 29.95. No cheaper tHan the hard copies I already own. Complete rip off ### 1/5 — Disappointing. *2015-07-24* It's basically a list of tracks linked in to the iTunes Store. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Nothing there *2015-02-20, version 1.0.9* Misleading empty app , no content simply a shopping mechanism. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app - especially for students of jazz *2015-12-06, version 1.0.9* This app is so much better than looking through the books. A real timesaver. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2013-02-23, version 1.0.2* I love this app and how I can study tunes while riding the train or in my down time when I'm unable to practice on my instrument. It also takes me to the iTunes store so I can hear other versions of the tunes. I have been turned on to a lot of different artists and have increased my music library. LOVE IT! Looking forward to updates. ### 5/5 — Useful and Fun App *2013-01-10, version 1.0.1* Real Tunes is great. It is a lot of fun to discover forgotten songs in my library and hear new versions of these classics via iTunes. Sure beats having to lug around those books. Nifty integration with DropBox that works very well. ### 3/5 — IOS 8.0 Completely messed up this app *2014-09-20, version 1.0.6* I’ve been using this app for a long time. The IOS 8 downgrade put a keyboard in the middle of my songs and the keyboard won’t go away. I have a show tomorrow, and I’m having to print out songs the old way. Thanks a lot, Apple. ### 2/5 — Just don't get it *2016-01-16, version 1.0.9* Like another review, I spent several days know trying to get this working, with no success. I am missing something but I have no idea what. ### 2/5 — No tunes *2014-10-23, version 1.0.7* No music comes with this app!! You have to pay $20-40 to buy and download each book!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
