### 4/5 — Rhythms

*2025-05-12*

Need more options with more traditional rhythms

### 3/5 — Great app

*2025-01-24*

Able to easily construct my favourite jazz standards with this app and it gives a fantastic funky sound and feel to practice along with

### 5/5 — Massively useful

*2024-12-12*

I was looking for a playalong app with more modern rhythmic feels than iReal Pro (also very useful) when I stumbled across this great little app. Good range of chord options (though it would benefit from a few diatonic additions such as major 7#5) and some very cool grooves. As a bass player, the mixer function is also very useful. Transpose function is also a must - any chance of finessing this to allow transposition of individual sections? Also, please develop a macOS version.  These few caveats aside, this is a great suite of apps. And cheap as chips.

### 5/5 — Jazz & Blues improvisation made easier!

*2024-02-23*

Brilliant app for those who need backing tracks with chord changes from real instruments and performed by top-notch professional musicians.

### 4/5 — Great for trying new ideas

*2024-01-25*

I use it when I’m trying to create ideas quickly. It helps me get a sense of flow, and what chords progressions work best. It’s most helpful when I try the progressions in the other versions and compare the different variations.
