### 5/5 — SLOW PLAYER

*2013-03-08*

This app is awesome! It makes learning to play so much fun! It makes practice feel like a game & the accompaniment sounds great! You can slow the tempo to a speed that enables a beginner to play along with. It can be set to repeat any section you want to work on, the whole song or even change the key if you want. Learning has never been this fun!

### 5/5 — Killer app for practicing musicians

Other reviews say it already. I recommend the Pro version for the sake of reducing tempo to 50%. Very very helpful practice tool.
