Just you, your instrument, and a reason to play right now. HOW IT WORKS Open BeMusical.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: BeMusical at none against Night Flight Plus's shown. BeMusical also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Night Flight Plus's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
