### 3/5 — Session B

*2024-06-11*

Not intuitive need a good video to slowly and clear demo all the features

### 5/5 — A real band to practice with Wow!

*2024-04-18*

Now I have a true band to work with even though it’s prerecorded. But it sounds live and airy. Love your product. I own: Jazz 1, Jazz 2, Soul Jazz 2 and 4.

### 5/5 — Problème depuis la mise à jour

*2023-03-13*

Depuis la mise à jour du 3mars l’app (SessionBand Jazz 1,2,3) ne fonctionne plus sur mon iPad IOS 12.5.7. Est-il possible de revenir à la version précédente?

### 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.

### 3/5 — Really restrictive workflow

*2020-09-29*

I just can’t get to grips with it, the workflow is irritating and just not straight forward to aid getting anything done. Sure, it sounds nice, but you soon get sick of hearing the same loop over and over as you attempt to build anything with it. I’ll stick with playing my own parts in future.  Thanks for making it free so I could try it, but this is of little use to anyone trying to do anything beyond creating a basic jam track for practice

### 3/5 — Good but...

*2020-09-03*

could be better e.g. midi and auv3.

### 5/5 — Most excellent!

*2020-08-01*

Playing the changes has gotten so much better with this app.Love it!

### 4/5 — Actually really really nice

*2020-05-04*

I like this app very much and I bought pretty much all of them - too bad I did not recognise the bundle offers :-))
What I really miss is certain chord qualities in some apps and slash chords are not possible at all. 
Still there are a lot of possibilites.
I would be great to be able to import the song structure from one session app in another one, maybe you guys could make this possible, at least from Jazz 1 to 2 and 3 or vice versa.
Also please add a complete index of all the demo songs and their chord structures (as PDF) - I would pay extra for that!

### 4/5 — Useful practice tool

*2020-04-15*

I use it a lot for practicing jazz sax. Especially good for going over chord progression to learn them. Very good to be able to take out and put back band instruments allowing you to become more aware of bass and drums and play more rhythmically. Easy to transpose to allow me to move from tenor to alto.

### 5/5 — Excellent app, but...

*2020-04-07*

Love this one as well as the other two. Please update as you have with 2 and 3 as it crashes and my songs are stuck in the app. Keep on making stellar sounds!

Update: months ago there was an update. But soon after, all three Sessions apps crashed before I could even load them. Help please. I would love to access my tunes...

Fixed! The problem with 2 and 3 was that iPad was on zoom in display and I couldn’t see the whole dashboard. Thanks!
