Music Practice Log - Tracker for Negative User Reviews

✓ Not Very User Friendly!I’m by no means bad with technology, but am finding this app a pain to use. For some reason, you can’t just say you are practicing X, - you have to put X in a folder, in another folder. I forgot to add my practice yesterday and can’t work out how/if I can even do it today. I seem to be spending more time trying to get around than actually logging anything. An app like this needs to be quick and easy to use, and to be honest I’m gutted I bought it..TeamVistaVersion: 2.2.1

✓ More complicated than I need it to beThis app has a lot of nice features but I need something simpler and I don’t see a way to set this up in a simple way. It forces you to make really specific categories and sub- categories. Honestly that much be cool but it’s kind is a pain in the butt. I just wanted an app that I could track time days and a few notes for practice on 5 instruments. I found one way to just enter manually the practice time but now I can’t seem to find that feature again. If I want to track how much practice i put in I have to start the timer when I start. If I forget I have to run the timer and set a separate timer to remember to turn it off. If I let the timer run too long there’s no way to edit the total practice time that I can see. I just want an easy manual entry of a couple of different topics and this app makes it really difficult to do that. Shopping for something different..FastEddieVVersion: 2.4.0

✓ Almost a great appThis app could be great, if it had the following functions: 1. It needs a go back button. Sometimes I inadvertently hit the next button. 2. The requirement to have two subcategories for an exercise is unnecessary. 3. Starting the metronome should start the clock on the exercise. 4. This is my biggest annoyance--the clock stops if I multi-task. I have scores on my iPad that I practice, but the clock stops the second I switch to my score app..SchwartzHomeVersion: 2.1

✓ Doesn’t work on iPadCan’t get this to work at all on my sons iPad.Colin momVersion: 1.8

✓ DisappointingNo scale or arpeggio played 😡😡😡😡 All fake😡😡😡 Only waisting money 😤.Reza_ophVersion: 1.0

✓ Horribly Unintuitive InterfaceVery frustrated by this app. Was hoping to use it to monitor my daughter’s piano practice progress but the unintuitive interface of this app coupled with the apparent lack of any real functionality that couldn’t be more easily done with a pencil and paper made this app worthless to me. Have now deleted it from my iPhone..Sam_H111Version: 2.2.1

✓ Missing crucial elementI'll change it to 5 stars if a feature that allows you to manually input your practice time is added..Fred23.2Version: 1.5.2

✓ Almost thereThe sub-categories make this work for classical music. My cat accidentally paused the timer on one movement of a Beethoven Sonata. Sometimes I also forget to turn off the timer but know when I quit. I could correct the record. I only gave this app 3 stars because I just started using it. I will use it for several days and then weigh in again..Steinway65Version: 2.5.0

✓ ScamCan’t log practice time.MhomanVersion: 2.3.1

✓ Good, but could be betterI appreciate that you can put in a subcategory but I wish it weren’t required. You just don’t always need one, and I’m struggling to use the app efficiently..GreerMahoneyVersion: 2.5.0

✓ Too many steps, not intuitiveThis app is probably great for a classical music student, but for anything else it’s overkill and clunky in its current form..CactushackedusVersion: 2.4.0

✓ Great effort but missing absolutely REQUIRED featureUnless I’m missing it in settings somewhere, there is no ability to edit the time of your practice. Right out of the gate, I had several times where I forgot to pause the app when called away from my practice and came back to a 20 minute time for a practice item and no way to edit it for the actual amount of time. Without this ability, I can’t really recommend the app. I’m using the paid version….Sdo.appleVersion: 2.5.0

✓ Pretty Good But Could Be BetterThis app appears to have everything needed but is too granular both in setting up and trying to track progress. To practice a piece you need to first set up an instrument, create (or choose a preset) category, sub category and finally an item ( a piece ). You then create a practice session and add the items to it. Getting analytics on your practice time is equally granular. There’s no way that I can see to get the total time you practiced a piece throughout the day/week. You must go into each individual practice session throughout the day/week to find each and every time for the piece and total them up yourself. The app has a basic metronome (nice touch) and a timer which you can pause. It’d be nice if the timer had an option to be a countdown timer so that you could limit the time you practice something to say, 10 minutes..Guit aristVersion: 2.1

✓ Does Not Work on iPadThe description says it will work on my iPad PRO 11.0 IOS 12.4.1 It does NOT! The start menu and practice timing screen will not appear. I spent the last 3 hours figuring I was doing something wrong. I went back to the YouTube video and they use an iPhone for demonstrative purposes. The “iPad” version looks nothing like that. It’s time for my money back and better testing by the developer..WdavVersion: 2.2.1

✓ Too much effort for daily useI have a general daily practice regimen which changes from time to time. I was excited to see this app was designed around the idea that a practice session consists of various steps. Unfortunately, this app takes an “a la carte” approach to practice and sort of assumes what you practice may change everyday. It also assumes you want to keep a very fine-grained record of precisely what you did and did not practice, down to the individual tasks and items at hand. It has 3 levels of organization: categories, subcategories, and items. I play piano, so for instance, I might have the following: Categories: Technical Exercises, Repertoire, Sight-Reading Subcategories of Technical Exercises: Scales, Chords, Arpeggios, Hanon Items of Scales: Parallel, Contrary (maybe you’d put the actually keys here as well) When it’s time to practice, you pick and choose the items you’d like to practice, assign timing to them, and hit “go”. There is no way to repeat a practice from a previous day. Every “recipe” must be new. For me, this is a disappointment. I’d rather have a single “object” called a “Practice Regimen”, which is defined by a series of tasks optionally defined by their amount of time, and I can “instantiate” this regimen each day. The regimens are sorted in reverse chronological order. From time to time I might duplicate it and change some details, but practice regimens for piano (and many other instruments) usually don’t vary so often. For instance, I’d love to have the regimen: Technical exercises: 20 mins Repertoire 1: 20 mins Repertoire 2: 20 mins Repertoire 3: 20 mins Sight Reading: 30 mins Performance: 10 minutes I don’t need to track the precise nature of the exercises or repertoire. Maybe optionally the app can let me add notes if I so please before and after each section. Maybe some week, I instead just have two pieces, and no performance coming up. No problem, just duplicate it, delete Rep 3 and Perf. Then hit go. It would be nice if the timers could measure undershooting and overshooting the estimated time, so as to help me adjust my daily regimen. So in all, this app is just far too complicated, requires a lot of effort before you touch your instrument, and makes logging by paper an easier proposition. With all that said, while the app doesn’t fit my use-case, but may fit others. If you have a *lot* of material you need to keep fresh and keep track of over long periods of time, then this app may be for you..QuadrescenceVersion: 2.3.1

✓ Way too complicatedI’m sorry to downvote this but I really don’t get how this app works. I play a number of different instruments and my practice routine is therefore quite wide-ranging. I couldn’t figure out how to actually begin a practice session once I’d logged all my practice information into the app. I think the problem is that there are far too many subdivisions required before one can actually practice. “Piano->Scales->Major->Key” is way too specific for me. I just want to have “Piano->Scales” be an option I can choose to practice but it won’t allow me to. Shame..CheuchtarVersion: 2.5.0

✓ Here’s some advice so farSo far a decent app, but there absolutely needs to be a button on each activity that allows you to start practice rather than going to start practice every time... that’s a pain in the butt especially if you practice a Little here and a little there all day, also an average time practice weekly, monthly yearly etc..Sofi987Version: 1.7.1
