IReal Pro for Negative User Reviews

✓ Keeps skipping.I would give this 5 stars if it didn’t skip 1 beat while playing. It throws off the entire piece and sounds bad. Fix it!!.Adam_DiCVersion: 8.2.3

✓ Blue add on not worth itA few backing tracks is all you get for $5.Ken MoreVersion: 10.0.1

✓ Chord entry… too hard basket!The playback features are great but chord entry and the lack of any visual beat grid or overlay makes entering chords a hit and miss affair and very frustrating!!! You have to guess how many times to press the next button before adding h to r next chord or it can’t play the chord. It’s ridiculously hard to get it right!.Jazz and BebopVersion: 2022.9

✓ Pretty goodThe app is fine but may bug out on you. Often it insists that I have the bars arranged incorrectly even when I have them in the proper format, which is irritating when I’m trying to get a certain harmonic rhythm. Aside from this the language the app uses for displaying chords is not very user friendly. I try to understand what info they provide but I’m still yet to understand how I would go about getting certain voicings like augmented 6th and chords without the 5th. But the app is good for getting rough ideas, practicing, and familiarizing yourself with different and common styles of music..Cybot2966Version: 2023.6

✓ DisgustedI purchased this app in good faith. Having the real book on hand at a reasonable price was an AA+. This compromise is neither what I purchased nor something I require. That I wasn't offered a refund when the policy changed has made me angry and disgusted. Apple should provide a refund offer all those that orginally purchased the app and then those that choose this compromise can purchase it should they choose to do so! A less than happy customer!.Silvabak56Version: 4.0.2

✓ Dropped support for ios12Why? What am I supposed to do? Buy a new iPad? Disgraceful.PalinaurusVersion: 2020.9

✓ Chords don’t play properly as writtenIn one measure a chord will play as a block chord. And in the next measure that same chord may play as an inversion or arpeggio or as an inversion. So from a learning standpoint it’s hard to determine if you’re getting it right. Also, the piano diagram doesn’t show the chord as played. Lots here need to be either fixed or give user more controls. UPDATE: I received a reply but it was clear that the responder didn’t understand my comments and certainly did not address them. My review still stands..Bbb-erVersion: 2019.7

✓ WAS good but no longer...What was a great resource has been crippled by copyright issues and now has NO songs! (what??!! Copyrighting chord progressions?? What sort of BS is that?!). If you have an older version DON'T update. A REAL shame as this used to be a winner....OldcamaddictVersion: 4.0

✓ Real customer support ! Amazing!I’m still learning how to use the app so I won’t make comment yet on that except so far, fantastic. There are a few things I have discovered it doesn’t do but... there is a suggestion box for what users want AND the developers listen and take this as an opportunity to improve. If you have ANY questions about anything, the support guys write back to you within 24hours with in depth answers where possible. They are constructive and helpful. If they can’t do it, they point you in a direction, give links to other sites, about where to find answers. Real customer service. Great job guys. Much appreciated...Moonmask2Version: 2020.7.1

✓ Had enough alreadyFrustration all round. When I went to register I was told that my name already existed and wouldn’t let me register I have spent 2 hours trying to log in and have given up. I’d ask for my money back but I can’t log in to ask for it..BiffothebareVersion: 8.3.2

✓ Chords noteCdim7 actually includes a B double flat CM7, C, E, G, B Cm7, C, Eb, G, Bb Cdim7, C, Eb, Gb, Bbb To make the dim7 chord from a minor 7th needs to be one seminote smaller, Cdim7 has a Bbb not an A.Alex Greig-IllodoVersion: 8.3.2

✓ IrealbI never intended to update the Irealbook so I could keep all the songs I needed to learn but I accidentally did. I tried to stop it by turning off wifi, then the power and now it's gone. When I try to get the new lame version, the app store says it's installed, but it's gone. I never wanted the irealb version, but now I don't have either! ps-I lost a styles pack I bought as well. not happy and out money..Phebus 9Version: 4.0

✓ Not much use for rock or metal at the momentOk to be fair I did pay for this app to be able to practice playing over blues and jazz backing tracks. For this purpose iReal is s great tool. However I was shocked to see that there are very few backing tracks for true rock and metal songs (forget Djent lol), there isn’t even a main playlist download for rock. The closest category is pop. I doubt the backing track generator/engine is capable of producing complex drum/bass/chord rhythms at the moment anyway. I’m guessing that most people who are into rock or metal realise this and won’t buy the app, unfortunately that also means it’s unlikely anyone will add backing tracks for those genres. Catch 22. Post Note: Sorry but just had to downgrade this to 1 star as it’s quite ridiculous that it doesn’t work with InterApp or AUM. There seems no way you can record live with guitar input into a DAW with iReal now. It should be a basic function..LazytesterssuckVersion: 10.0.1

✓ Lacking many chords and grooves/customizability.So many chords that seem obvious, like min11b5, sus2, minMaj13, and many more are non-existent. Also many songs have a groove change in the middle of the form or after an intro; Why they have not added this customization option yet baffles me. Another thing is the amount of editing space is extremely limiting in arrangements and you cannot write out long forms for absolutely no logical reason. Why??? Also more open grooves are lacking (for example straight ECM, or less overt latin grooves). If Ireal Devs manage to fix even two of these problems then I will change my rating to reflect the improvement of their app, but until then, I would recommend using another backing track app..NicholasDWVersion: 2022.2

✓ Not worth itNe vaut vraiment pas la peine!.VickxxxxxxVersion: 2019.7

✓ Beware...This app is not only expensive offering what similar apps offer BUT they also to squeeze more money out of you wherever possible. Bought this app with the intention of being able to use it on my Mac as well as my phone. If you buy it on ios it will only work there, if you buy on mac it will only work there. You will have to spend another $20 to get it on that other devise. The fact that this app is this much at its base and you cant use it on other devices is a big disappointment not to mention greedy. Furthermore, the layout of the app is confusing and designed poorly. You will waste lots of time navigating in and out of the Byzantine corridors of this app to find what you really want actually costs another 5 bucks....Don HumungoVersion: 2020.2

✓ I love this app but…Can you add a feature that when there is an error with open ended repeats or bar lines, that is becomes highlighted to make it easier to fix the problem? Sometimes, it’s not visually clear what the problem is and it’s something that frustrates me..Thabluesbrother_2000Version: 2022.2

✓ Fine app but...Don't get too reliant on this tool, your (a) band won't play/sound the same. iReal may cause a false sense of confidence.SpekulateVersion: 8.3.0

✓ A little lackingI really want to like this app. For the most part it is good, but I find the lack of versatility in the styles disappointing. They’re like poorly done, cookie cutter arrangements. This is the reason why I end up just not using this app. It feels incomplete. I’d like to be able to mix and match style components..Rbloch66Version: 10.0.1

✓ Could do better - if it supported MIDI OUTCould do better - if it supported MIDI OUTOUT for external sound modules etc So if one had a keyboard workstation one could use one’s own instruments Also a nice to have would be the ability to send out Yamaha system chord track data. This would allow one to have the app basically control the “fingered chord” track for arranger keyboards..NonchaiVersion: 2023.7.1

✓ I have been robbedA shocking app. Ridiculously priced. The description makes it sound like a miracle, but it's just not very good. I can't find a way to put the songs I like to play or listen to on it. The picking style of the chords doesn't really go with every song. I expected something amazing for £13. I am not impressed at all..HilliotaVersion: 8.0.2

✓ Please enable ability to scrub along the backing tracksI have to start from the top of the chart every time I want to work on something that was just played. Please enable the ability to start the track from anywhere in song. I will definitely give five stars if this is improved..PanhombreVersion: 2020.7.1

✓ No good for baritone ukulelesThis is a good program, but it doesn’t work for baritone ukuleles. I can display baritone chords using the F tuning option, but I can’t get the pitch to match..Airedale terrierVersion: 2023.11.1

✓ No manual, dumb program made by dumb peopleIt takes you to a bunch of stuff, popular articles, it looks like a mess. That's not a manual. I believed I was preparing a chord chart of my piece to give to my bass player, only yo find out that this stupid program makes you pretend 1 page is 1 song. So if your song is 15 pages, just treat the thing like 15 songs and export 15 pdfs. For 1 song. Dumbest developers in the world, I have been a pro musician for +20 years on 3 instruments.DiogenethesinopianVersion: 2023.7.1
