It’s probably the closest app to Band in a box that exists on the App Store. Lots of different strumming styles and the samples sound pretty good. I just with it was easier to enter the chords like how you can in biab. It’s quite frustrating to enter and then stretch each one or shorten them and if you miss something you can’t just see it all on one screen to be able to tell what you entered. But that aside.. this apps worth a look ### 2/5 — Needs an update to fix an issue *2022-12-24, version 2.5* Used to work perfectly. And I highly recommend the app for the developers need to look at an issue: after one of the updates, when you change the tempo an any given track, the sound quality of the track drops significantly. Never used to, but now it’s unplayable at any user-defined tempo ### 3/5 — Bonne appli qui aurait besoin d’une mise a jour *2022-06-06* J’adore votre travail. Mais le réalisme aurait besoin d’une sérieuse amélioration. ### 3/5 — Miss some type of chord *2021-08-22, version 2.4.3* Where are diminished and augmented chord? It’s really useless without that ### 4/5 — Fantastic work! *2021-02-15, version 2.4.3* A truly arranger like app that works fantastic, the only thing is missing in order for me to use it more often is variations with in patterns or styles. When i select a style out of (about) 20 that are in this app i miss variation for verse; chorus variation for fill-in's ; brakes for bridges. Because different styles are recorded in different rooms using different echo or filters or microtones you can not put two together without noticing that both are recorded under different adjustments, and thats a bummer, when i find two styles that go together one is recorded closer to the microphone in a warm room like setup and the other one is recorded with an small but noticeable echo on a small stage with more expressed finger gripping and a march like taste to it. I am not saying the app is not useful, the app is great to put some ideas down before you go home but if this app will have variations with in styles at least two minimum and five ideal plus one fill at least and one brake then i believe this app will be way way more popular because there are thousands if not more apps that will let you built drum tracks and thousands that will give you options for bass tracks and keyboard tracks but its almost impossible to find an app that will give you a truly guitar strumming track like this app so if the builder of this app will add the options needed this is going to be a genius move. I wish you guys take this review serious. Good luck! 👍 ### 4/5 — Fantastic app *2021-02-04, version 2.4.3* White font on yellow is really hard to read. Please update the color of the font to something more legible. Otherwise I love the app and what it can do. ### 4/5 — Good update and good app *2020-08-09, version 2.4.3* The update is good. The app is nice. I wish was a little more intuitive, other than that now is pretty good. Two wishes, would be nice to have a setting for default chord size (now when you add a chord is always 2 bar) and one button to add a chord at the end of the song (with auto insert mode) ### 4/5 — New Track Builder is awesome *2020-04-10, version 2.4.2* The new track builder is an awesome update. So you can Input sections... once for each section.... and easily create the entire song. Not as good visually as iRealPro.... but sound a lot better. I can play the song in this app to help me with timing.... while viewing the song in “fake” format in iRealPro... which doesn’t sound as good. Not sure if they got audio bus stuff fixed. BUT THS TRACK BUILDER HELPS A LOT. ### 4/5 — MAJ *2020-01-23* Bonjour Pas de MAJ ? C’est dommage ### 3/5 — Well... *2019-02-24* I love sessionband apps and own quite a few, but frankly...I’m a bit disappointed with both Acoustic 1&2. They should have specified : pop & rock acoustic guitar ! I was hoping for something similar to the jazz sessionband apps with various styles ! Bossa Nova is missing, such as gipsy jazz guitar, flamenco... ### 4/5 — Invest a little time... *2019-01-18, version 2.3* ..and you will find this very helpful for creating backing tracks, developing song ideas or just having fun with when you are not near your guitar. Not five stars because the workflow isn’t massively intuitive and I’d like WAV recordings to be exportable via email...maybe I haven’t worked out how to do that yet. Overall, very useful tool and I have the others in the series. ### 4/5 — Fantastic! Needs update! *2017-06-08, version 2.0* A very usable app for practice and songwriting. Freezes when paused sometimes. Please update. Also, can you add 6 chord, e.g.; C6, F6, Fmin6, etc. such a tasty variation that is missing on all the Session Band apps. ### 4/5 — Brilliant but so disappointed *2016-12-31, version 2.0* I have all of the SessionBand apps and although I love them there are loads of ways to improve them and I'm hoping that the developers will listen up here! First of all these apps are showing that they are compatible with Garage Band but they aren't! If you integrate them into Logic they run out of sync with logic and seem to have their own time signature. No matter what I do I can't run any midi instrument to run in time with any of the songs I create in SessionBand apps.This is the worst thing and something the developers need to sort out asap! I have emailed them regarding this but still no joy. The layout could be a little better, instead of running a lengthy one liner they could fit it onto the screen that way you wouldn't have to keep scrolling forward and backwards and lose track of where you are in the song! Some of the apps integrate instruments that I would prefer to put in myself! But you have no choice in some of the apps and I can't use them. This one (acoustic guitar) is truly great because it sounds authentic but I would like to integrate a drum or a bass and I can't and there is no way of integrating the SessionBand drummer with the SessionBand acoustic guitar because these also run out of sync.....what's the point of having great drums if you can't put the guitar to them? The syncing disaster is the one they need to sort and I would like a SessionBand Bass app too please....but make sure it syncs with the rest! All in all I love the apps but please.....Get it sorted! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Audio distortion *2023-01-12, version 2.6* After updating to a recent iPhone OS audio is now distorted. I have informed support but have received no response. Also, last app update has changed display layout to smaller text size which makes it harder to read. Finally, I informed support long ago that choice of white text on yellow background is illegible and that an option should be provided to change colour but they replied that I should accept it the way it is ### 1/5 — All Session Band apps hosed on iPad mini after update *2020-04-15, version 2.4.2* Noise is all I get now. They have become worthless. ### 1/5 — 멈춥니다 *2019-10-17* 100%의 확률로요 환불 해주세요 ### 1/5 — BAD ..REALLY BAD NOW *2019-06-21, version 2.4* All these were great in the beginning but first they froze and would not play sound. Now they won’t even load up on a AUDIOBUS. All the products seem to have never kept up with the iOS updates....Don’t waste your money on any of these. ### 1/5 — File transfer system wrong!!! *2018-01-18, version 2.2* You need to built file transfer system in your each app!! I made chord session in multiband... but could not use in acoustic sessionband.... Apple opened and improved their file system in ipad ex; file app documents app etc..... You have to make file attaching system in your each app!!! If not.... every each app does not mean any more... Your every apps are great!!!! But if we can not use chord sb files freely.... then its nothing Each apps can posesssb files Do not tell me use computer!!! Good luck to you!! And sorry I am not good at english... ### 1/5 — Very poor controls... *2017-10-09, version 2.1.1* Can we please.... please.... PLEASE.... have a PLAY/STOP button on the EDIT window!?! It is INCREDIBLY frustrating and hindering to workflow to keep having to switch backwards and forwards and then stop and start and back and forward again!! Makes a potentially very useful app... into frustrating amateur rubbish! ### 1/5 — Audio Export Flawed *2017-01-15, version 2.0* Hard to use as a sound source for actual use in songs since the audio loops on export don't sync to the specified BPM due to a few seconds silence at the start. If the developers fix this it would be a 4/5 star app, but at the moment it's more of a toy. ### 1/5 — 별로예요 *2016-11-08* 환불받고 싶어요 기타 스타일이 20개 밖에 안되요 7000개의 기타루프는 뻥같아요 찾을수가 없어요 ### 1/5 — Fails on iPad Pro *2016-05-03, version 2.0* My copies of SessionBand Acoustic and SessionBand Piano fail to load completely or function at all when installed on my iPad Pro. I purchased the SessionBand BigBundle as well to see if the ‘newer’ version of Acoustic would work - but it didn’t. In fact, none of the SessionBand apps in the bundle work at all on my iPad Pro. I’m running IOS 9.3.1. I’ve deleted and reinstalled Acoustic and Piano several times without success. I’ve emailed the developer twice on their feedback address - but haven’t heard back from them. I recommend that you not purchase any SessionBand apps until they are updated to run on the latest IOS and iPads. ### 1/5 — Crap!!! *2016-02-05, version 2.0* Seriously? No diminished or augmented chords? What a joke ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — An amazing app *2023-05-09, version 2.8* This is truly an amazing app. I use it all the time for backing tracks and the sound quality is first class. It is so intuitive to use and easy to manipulate. 5 stars from me. Just waiting for the update that adds in the bass line…. ### 5/5 — Enfin une update *2023-01-05* Enfin une mise à jour qui tire profit des écrans récents ! J’en pouvais plus d’être sur une app optimisée pour iPhone 5… maintenant c’est impec même sur iPhone 14 pro max ! Merci! ### 5/5 — Excellent app and good practice tool *2022-12-12, version 2.5* Really good for putting together backing tracks and to play around with different arrangements. The various loops are also helpful to practice various strumming patterns. What would make this into an outstanding practice tool would be a short description of the strumming pattern used in the various loops. When the strumming pattern would run above the various cords as three bars displaying when the bass note is played and when up and downstrokes are happening, then it could be used for an in-depth practice session. ### 5/5 — 13.1.2 iPadOS *2019-10-07* отличные приложения, но после обновления стали часто зависать при выборе другого стиля пожалуйста, исправьте! ### 5/5 — Excellent sketch pad *2019-09-15, version 2.4* Brilliant tool for sketching ideas for songs or creating loops for soloing over. With a bit of patience whole songs can be put together and exported into other formats ### 5/5 — Quality guitar loops *2019-07-10, version 2.4* Thousands of guitar loops well played and every key. Very useful for songwriters and producers looking for some guitar in their productions without having to hire one!!! I also have Leo Cavello Sony Pack but with that you only get a selection and then have to auto transpose to get the right key. With this, there’s a full set and 20 or so styles and patterns. ### 5/5 — Lots of content *2019-07-05, version 2.4* There’s a lot of content I these apps. This one I found particularly useful, there’s always a need to get a quick backing track with just acoustic guitar. Helps me with my live set. Recent update has sorted a few bugs. ### 5/5 — Thanks a lot for this beautiful. App... *2018-08-12* Thanks a lot for this beautiful. App. Can I please-record my vocals and release an album with promoting the app as well...Because I find it very useful..Please give my regards to all the musicians who are working towards the app...cheers . God blues u all. ### 5/5 — Great for custom backing tracks *2018-06-12, version 2.3* Edited review: no more crashes. Very useful for creating your own backing tracks. Can export tracks or just use within app and play it through any Bluetooth speakers to jam (really useful, not all apps have that feature) ### 5/5 — Acoustic Session Band *2017-03-15, version 2.0* I simply love this app. The demos are perfect and inspiring for anyone wanting to get song ideas. The wider chord range provided by the app provides more cooler tones. This has to be the best value five bucks ever spent --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
