### 5/5 — Very Useful App

*2024-09-10*

At last there is an app providing a service to all us Country Music musos! This app offers many of the most used country rhythms and I am looking forward to Vol 2, 3 & 4. Bring them on. I have every one of the SessionBand apps and they are fantastic.

### 4/5 — Good not great

*2024-04-21*

It’s a good app and it’s quality is top notch, although some of its band styles can sound a little generic which is to be expected as it’s not an actual band 😊 the main issue I have with it is the way you enter the chords in. Why isn’t it just a chord sheet that you can type in the chords you want.? The interface at the moment is really clunky and I often find myself missing chords when entering them or struggle to find a spot that I need to change. Having a basic chord sheet that I can just type the chords in for each bar would save a lot of hassle. With that one small improvement all of their apps would be 10/10 for me.
Would be interested to hear from the devs why they don’t use this approach.

### 3/5 — Freezes on iPhone

*2024-01-13*

I love the app but it hangs and freezes on the iPhone and I have to restart the app to play changes. I even upgraded from iPhone SE 2nd gen to iPhone 15 pro and it still freezes. I can run the app on my old iPad gen3 and it works fine. I need it to work on iPhone also without freezing causing restarting.

### 3/5 — Awesome tool but missing a few critical elements

*2022-10-31*

This is a fun app that creates great tracks. The primary shortcoming, however, is the lack of a few critical features, including a minor triad and a 6th chord. This prevents the creation of a whole lot of country tracks, especially traditional country (eg, Earnest Tubb’s Thanks a Lot).  

Other misses include: stops only in a major chords,  lack of a twangy telecaster, and no real sense of bluegrass rhythm guitar in the bluegrass tracks.  The musicians are great but don’t quite understand country music.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2021-08-29*

All apps of session band are great and I love it. But possibly one error in Country music, there is no natural minor chord. Pl check

### 1/5 — No Minor Chords?

*2021-07-09*

You should have mentioned it in the main description. I feel like having been cheated.

### 5/5 — Beautiful sounds and useful for song ideas!

*2021-05-29*

Much more simple to use than Biab for Windows. And even though the variety of instruments is more limited, there are plenty of variations of song styles to suit most country, folk songs from about any era. You will have a suitable “bed” to build the rest of your song from quickly! Add your own vocals, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, etc. later after you send your song to garage band or cubasis etc. Don’t get me wrong Biab has it’s place, but this is about as close as you can get to Biab on ipad! Thanks for a great program.

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2021-05-14, version 2.4.3*

Very clever and easy way to build backing tracks.  The instrumentation is really professional and the options are not only endless, they’re also customisable.  Deserves to be a winner

### 1/5 — No minor chords

*2021-04-18*

Minor 7 or minor 11 is no substitute for a minor triad chord.   What a poor decision on the developers for not including this most basic chord. It doesn’t reflect the requirements of the style it is trying to support. City of New Orleans sounds so wrong. Wayfaring Stranger? Just not possible. It upsets me to discover this ridiculous omission.

### 1/5 — Poor edit page

*2021-04-07*

Good loops but the whole app is not well designed.
No pause/play button in the edit screen.
This basic feature has been requested for years but developers don’t listen.
The app needs updates based on users’ feedback.
