### 4/5 — Important for musicians

*2026-02-12*

I love this app cause it can help you to be a full band with some music ,and assist you in being becoming the musician that you feel you can be.

### 4/5 — Outil très interessant

*2026-02-02*

J’utilise session Band depuis une dizaine d années, sons très bien, appli fonctionnelle, je l utilise au quotidien aussi bien en backing Track que pour maqueter dans garage Band .
Il serait interessant de pouvoir utiliser une plus ample palette d accords et éventuellement avoir les pdf Drum sur tous les volumes.

### 1/5 — Limited Chords, poor interface.

*2025-11-28*

This looked great. When I first saw it. Recommended by a jazz musician. However, as soon as I started to use it to create a backing track - I couldn’t find the chords I needed ( no 9th or 7#9! ) and the user interface is so clunky and unhelpful. That I ended up abandoning my practice session! Angry and frustrated that I had obviously been “sold a pup”! Yet another music app that gets in the way of the music and kills the vibe. Very disappointing!

### 5/5 — Wow! What a time saver…

*2025-09-14*

I just purchased Session Band Jazz 3 and have already formatted my version of “Take The A Train” with my preference of drum tracks. It was so easy and produced such a great backing track. I’m really impressed.

### 5/5 — Jouer avec de vrais musiciens

*2025-02-01*

Superbe application pour créer des accompagnement à partir de grille,

De vrais musiciens, même à travers des enregistrements, transmettent une énergie considérable à celui qui les écoutent. 

Possibilité de n’avoir que la basse et la batterie, la batterie et le piano ou la basse et le piano, métronome en option.

Transposition dans les 12 tons, modification du tempo, click de départ d’une ou deux mesures

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2025-01-26*

This app has transformed my playing.Now I can put things in context, and have great feel rather than just playing to a metronome. Excellent I’ll probably end up, picking up the other genres as well.

### 4/5 — Finally a backing jazz band that works and has mdern styles

*2025-01-20*

Im nicely surprised at how good this is. The organic feeling of the assets when put together give a good fluid realistic backing band. Very easy to operate and save result. My only criticism and one I don't think they'd be able to fix easily, is the omission of some chord types like quartal and So What voicings. The quartals for Tyner and Ogerman style arrangements. Apart from that this is great work and very much thought through.

### 5/5 — Great! They’re all great

*2023-09-06*

Great for improv , it actually swings! Get it! It’s cheap ! Lol

### 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.

### 2/5 — Stürzt nach einigen Sekunden ab ☹️

*2020-06-23*

Beim ersten Mal Laden war alles noch gut. 
Aber dann nach erneutem Laden (3 mal )
stürzt die App immer wieder ab wenn ich in den Stift Modus gehe und eigene Aufnahmen machen will 😩
Benutzte die App auf einem iPhone 8 plus 
mit aktuellem Betriebssystem
