Practice Log is a practice journal for musicians: start the timer, record yourself, then listen back. • Session timer and recording Start with one tap. Record the whole session, then play it back on a waveform — drag to the part that went wrong and hear it again. Recordings stay on your device. • Metronome and tuner A metronome with custom accents, subdivisions, and progressive tempo training. A tuner for guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, viola and more, plus a chromatic mode. • Sheet music Add MusicXML scores to any exercise and pull them up while you play. • Spaced repetition Built on FSRS — suggestions are based on how memory actually fades, not just how long ago you practised something. • Practice videos Turn a recording into a vertical video with waveform and beat grid, ready to share. Or share the original audio when your teacher needs to hear the whole piece. • Progress you can see Practice time and streaks are tracked automatically, with weekly and monthly reviews. Export everything at any time — your data is yours. For anyone building a daily practice habit, and for players who want to look back seriously. • PracticeLog Pro Advanced metronome, audio editor, practice video export, share links and full-history insights. Yearly subscription $9.99 (14-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase $24.99, with Family Sharing; the App Store shows the exact price for your region. Recording, sheet music, tuner, basic metronome and data export stay free forever — your data is always yours. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be cancelled anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://practicelog.io/terms Privacy Policy: https://practicelog.io/privacy

Verdict

The call

Tomplay Sheet Music and Practice Log both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Practice Log's written reviews are positive against 74% of Tomplay Sheet Music's. Practice Log also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). Tomplay Sheet Music's advantage is ratings volume (7.2K vs 6) and chart position (#159 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
