IReal Pro for Positive User Reviews
✓ Amazing number of functionsWhat it can do is HUGE but simple to use and uncluttered. Best music related App’ I’ve ever bought. Noel Price.Version: 8.3.2
✓ A must for all musicians!IRealPro without a doubt is best app for any musician. I would be lost without it. It has all the tools you need to play like a pro. All the pros use it as well..Version: 2020.7.1
✓ IRealbookI love it - very well set out - and being able to transpose is amazing! I don't know if anyone else has discovered this but if you need to print out a chart - take a screen shot of the page (sleep and home buttons) then it will appear in your photos - now you can email it to yourself - put it into Word - resize and print. Added Aug 1 - with version 2.2 you don't need these steps as there is now an email tab. Not only a great app but excellent customer support from Massimo! Tony Naylor.Version: 0
✓ Brilliant!As I said, brilliant!.Version: 8.2.1
✓ Convenient and well designedThis product had a bit of a double digit cost to start but with it costing much less than a single music lesson with most music instructors. The benefits it can give over the long term, the cost wasn’t anything compared to the convenience and benefits provided. For any music student that wants to learn pieces easier, I recommend this highly. Learn the changes across many songs, learn even further more songs more quickly..Version: 2021.2
✓ Un incontournable !IReal Pro est vraiment un incontournable pour pratiquer, notamment tous les standards de jazz qui s’y importent facilement grâce aux Forums iReal Pro. On peut aisément modifier les accords ou créer nos propres « charts », qu’on peut ensuite imprimer ou partager. Le support technique est excellent et l’application évolue constamment, grâce aux suggestions des utilisateurs. Honnêtement, si iReal Pro n’existait pas, il faudrait l’inventer !.Version: 2022.7
✓ BravoUn outil formidable pour mes pratiques musicales..Version: 2021.1
✓ MrExcellent piece of software for practicing songs, love it, I recommend it to every musician I know..Version: 2021.12
✓ My most used app!This app does just about everything for me. It's a great practice tool, with ever more styles to play against. And I also use it as my gig book. Just bought the new Blues style pack and ran into problems installing. The support was amazingly fast and diligent. In the process I learned the program has features like looping and start from any measure. Also copy and paste. If they ever develop a way to incorporate melody?....in the meantime I will still use this app more than any other of the myriad of music apps I have..Version: 8.0.1
✓ Love your work!I love this app, particularly the new play feature. Being a music teacher, it's so handy to be able to let students hear how the progressions go in a variety of styles without having to learn them first! The edit and create features are great too - I wish my students all had iPods! .. Is there any way to reduce text size so that lyrics can be typed in to fit within the bars? I know it's small on my screen but I like emailing my edited charts to my laptop and printing them. Thanks for your continued work on this app!.Version: 0
✓ Backing Tracks QuestionReceived excellent service from the help centre who answered my question in less than 2 hours fully and accurately I would be lost without this amazing tool.Version: 2022.2
✓ The BEST app for a singer and piano player!I was turned onto this app back in 2012. I was just learning how to hone in my jazz playing skills and began singing with a group. This app has taught me so much not only about music theory, but how to improvise and improve my own singing skills. This app is on every single one of my computer devices and I absolutely love it! I couldn’t have gotten as far as I did without it. 👏🏼 BRAVO BRAVO iReal Pro! 👏🏼.Version: 2020.9
✓ Awesome on so many levelsI’ve been using this for many years through many upgraded versions. I just keeps getting better! Especially when I cannot jam with my fellow jazz musicians, this app keeps me practicing and improvising so I can feel comfortable when our jazz jam gets together. I play tenor sax as my main instrument, but also play guitar and piano. I absolutely love the chord scale diagrams! And the various styles, plus the full control of the beat speed. I highly recommend this full featured app!.Version: 2020.9
✓ Great appHighly recommend it It did have a battery draining bug, but fixed promptly. Thanks guys.Version: 8.3.0
✓ So freakin cool..Man this thing is brilliant, great for learning progressions, practicing improv. I haven't even scratched the surface i.e. Arranging, Transposition it's all in here though...Version: 8.0.5
✓ Amazing AppGreat to practice with..a rhythm section rather than a metronome and they never drag. Easy to find chord charts for free or make your own. Good chord changes..Version: 10.0.1
✓ IncredibleThis new update has made an already fantastic and useful app even better!.Version: 0
✓ Great App. Upgrade tech needs a fix.This app essential to my work as a musician. I do not upgrade the app because I lose all my playlists when I upgrade the app. The companies fix for this “is download your Play lists and re-enter them into the app after you’ve done the upgrade. This should be fixed. If you do not do it correctly you have to rebuild all your playlists. If you are somewhat technically challenged as I am it’s gonna be a problem..Version: 8.2.4
✓ Live ChartsAs an upright bass player I play with many bands, at venues and festivals. This app is really handy for quick chord charts and either as a live chart reading tool or as a refresher. You can change key easily and create your own charts on the fly. I use it on my iphone with a magnet attached to the upper bout of my bass. Highly recommend..Version: 2020.7.1
✓ IReal Pro is totally awesomeAs a rhythm section player and music teacher, I can say without hesitation that iReal Pro has improved my playing and flexibility. The ability to have the changes to any tune, in any key, instantly, eliminated the need to carry around multiple real books to play casual gigs. The ability to have a play along track for any chart is a game changer in that it allows better practice and to allows one to fuse theory with improvisation. The search function allows access to most common tunes even brand new ones (not always totally correct, but almost always better than nothing). If all else fails, iReal allows us to easily and intuitively make our own charts and share any chart or playlist right there on the gig (as long as there a cell signal) or via email or text beforehand. All this for half the price of a single real book. Best music tool ever..Version: 2020.12
✓ Powerful chord charts editor and playbackThe interface is intuitive, but powerful enough to handle most charts effortlessly. Playback via standard instruments and styles makes it a great practice tool. The online forum provides access to thousands of standard tunes from every music genre, and makes testing and sharing original tunes simple. You can create custom playlists, so creating and sharing sets is really useful for scratch bands. I’d like to see a move-to-top/bottom option when editing playlists to make it quicker to reorder songs for a set list, but generally this app has you covered..Version: 2022.7
✓ Can’t practice without iRealProI’m 4 years into committed practice of jazz bass guitar, and I truly don’t see how I could pursue this path without my iReal Pro. My daily practice routines ~ scale and arp cycles to chord sequences to songs ~ are fully dependent on practice tracks. The app has so many settings, I can’t really see what couldn’t be practiced with it. Ok there’s probably a way for an adult non-genius with a good teacher and method to learn to play without iRealPro, but I can’t think what it is..Version: 8.0.4
✓ Great app - please add Apple Pencil supportLove this app. It would be great if I could use my Apple Pencil to draw in the chords, bar lines, etc when creating a new song.Version: 2020.7.1
✓ Rhythm assistanceHelp was prompt, relevant & succinct. Thank you, Kay.Version: 2020.7.1
✓ Best music app periodThis is an absolutely amazing app. It simply delivers. Huge on Jazz unlike most other apps focusing on RnB and/or Metal. Huge library of songs and super easy to create your own backing tracks. I use it for my own compositions and I find the share audio and share chart features invaluable. I carry just my iPad or iPhone now and have all my track library with me. The two features which would make it perfect for me are 1) to hear the chord we enter in the editor and 2) a way to play along my electric guitar without the need for other programs, even with a simple, generic clean jazz sound. Congratulations to the developers..Version: 2020.7.1
✓ Salsa Styles do not show upAfter buying the Addon Salsa, the style do not show up in the Styles menu… why?.Version: 2023.2
✓ Don’t like the “stereo piano” in this edition.Please bring back the piano that you had before this update. The new “stereo piano” sounds distant and not as good. I will re-rate this if you can give us the option to use either piano at the least. I also note that some of the chords or inversions don’t sound quite right sometimes. Perhaps this can be looked into as well? Otherwise, I really enjoy the program. Thank you for the response. Primarily, I’m not really happy with the “embellishment” feature. It seems to over embellish the jazz chords every single time the chord is played, if it was more randomized and had slightly better voice leading I think it would be a nice addition. Perhaps you could make it a sliding scale instead of “on” or “off”. Maybe it’s asking too much. The program is excellent regardless. I will re-rate to a 5 as I think it’s a valuable program for practicing songs. Thanks for listening..Version: 2021.12
✓ Five stars great appLove this app, I use it all the time, great practise application, can’t heap enough praise. Also, marvellous for writing your own chord charts and arrangements. Well done, iReal Pro, you’re the best. Only suggestion is the rock backing needs improving. However, the jazz and Latin is grrrreat..Version: 2020.2
✓ Great appA lot of work went into this app, definitely worth the price tag..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Best app for practicing & backing tracksBecomes almost impossible to do without once you get familiar with its features and editing. Very responsive technical support as well. Backing tracks allow you to perform solo with accompaniment..Version: 2023.7.1
✓ Must-Have App For All MusiciansThis is a must-have app for every practicing musician out there!.Version: 8.2.2
✓ One Of The Best Apps I OwnThis is, hands down, one of the best apps that I own. I have been playing guitar on and off for years, having much difficulty with swallowing. This app is very easy to use and has a ton of bells and whistle‘s. You can easily create a song and then easily transpose it or change the tempo with a couple of simple tabs. It allows me to practice my guitar ring in multiple keys with ease. There are a ton of different styles as well as time signatures that really add to the functionality of this app. Additionally, it seamlessly syncs with my iPhone and my iPad, so I can create a song on one device and it will easily just be there on my other device when I open it up. Fantastic job. Keep up the great work!.Version: 2019.7
✓ Very useful appVery capable and well thought out. I bought it thinking it was designed just to give you a library of transposable tune chords. But then I realised it’s got a metronome, recording facilities and you can easily create your own chord charts, much more than I expected. Well worth its price. Recommend it..Version: 2023.6
✓ BrilliantThis app is amazing. It gives me instant access to hundreds of jazz standards and is an amazing improvising tool. I do not understand how someone can feel ripped of after buying close to 900 chord charts and 11 very realistic playback style for 20 bucks. 'Real' real books (fake books) cost much more, don't have as many songs and cannot play the charts back to you. The ability to make you own charts quickly and easily is the icing on the cake. As a gigging musician I'm very grateful for this highly useful app..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Fantastic for Jazz bad for PopThis app is incredible. I play Jazz so this is perfect for having chord charts, making practice exercises, and a whole lot more! I feel like the add on for pop and blues is pointless though, other then having a chord chart all the tunes need a melody to even sound close to the original music. I feel like working with an actual metronome would be more useful to a beginner player. An aspiring Jazz player NEEDS this app but two chord chores and weekend players might want to look elsewhere on ultimate guitar tabs or something..Version: 8.0.4
✓ CameronGreat learning tool and for playing live. As well as writing your own backing..Version: 2019.7
✓ Great AppIt is a great app for sure, practice tool. I suggest to allow to write some rhythm notation very necessary for intros, for example: sometimes you have to play songs you have never played right on the spot, the rhythmic notation will do the miracle. My last suggestion all my students practice with this software but there is room to improve, we need that ireal be compatible with realbooks, again; "a song request we haven't heard", we need to playthe melody. Guys due respect, this is the 21th century and probably the last one. We need you to search for better software sound and more possibilities for the working musicians. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I believe you have released a great practice tool, and the best part there is lots of room for improvement… Sincerely RBarak..Version: 2021.12
✓ Why no melodies?Because THE REAL Real Book, sold by Hal Leonard, contains copywritten material. Most of the material is held under publishing, with only a few very that have fallen into the public domain due to their age. So, it's not an issue with this developer :).Version: 0
✓ I REAL BookThis app is nothing short of amazing!!! I had it on my Ipod for a while and I was using it to lookup changes - then the other day I noticed the musical note at the bottom of the page and touched it and was TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY - the screen came up and I touched play -It was playing the changes with piano,drums and bass- WOWOW !!! I recommend this app 150% - a great one to help you learn new tunes with out getting the whole group together. You can customize the tunes or put in one of your own !! This is a really powerful package -- BUY IT NOW - before anyone decides to raise the price!! There are two JAZZ style packages for the player, I bought both and I am VERY IMPRESSED !!! SOO Much POWER IN a smaller package!!! THIS has become the app I use the most --.Version: 3.0.4
✓ Great appGreat music app I’ve been using for a number of years. Very intuitive and easy to use, great sounds with lots of flexibility. You can transpose, slow down, speed up, transfer into GarageBand and lots of options. Highly recommended!.Version: 2024.1
✓ A great tool!This is one of the greatest apps out there! Great functionality, an awesome practice tool, user driven....good sound quality! I've incorporated it solidly into my practice regime and have found it delightful to use and very flexible for reading, soloing, and working on rhythm. I highly recommend this app.......primarily for its jazz content and applicability..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Just what I was looking forThis app is amazing. All good songs, easy layout, can change chord format if needed, easy to transpose, whole song fits on one page with good sized chords, can create own charts, can share charts. Would be perfect with lyrics but if you know your songs well enough then it's not a problem. On my old phone I'd store scanned copies of charts but they were hard to read. Was going to do it on iPhone, then found this app. Totally worth the money; realbooks are normally $80 at least. This equates to several..Version: 0
✓ Musician - why haven’t you bought this yet?Essential practice tool. Had to program a DR-5 at College. Good skill I suppose but this is great. Speed, looping sections, large library. Amazing..Version: 2020.7.1
✓ Devs: why did you change the keyboard layout?I am begging you guys, please let us have the old keyboard layout back. Or at least an option to have it. I had mastered a workflow to quickly make charts on the fly. The most frustrating part is having to hit two buttons to get the "repeat last measure" symbol. Still rating high because I love the app. But please guys, why fix what wasn't broken.Version: 2023.7.1
✓ Guitar practice is so easy with this app!This app has definitely helped me become a better jazz improviser. Most of the jazz songs are already available through the app and inputting a song is incredibly easy. I have a backup band that can play a song in any key, in a variety of styles. And beginners can access chords to learn the songs. I recently had a question about the app and I received a friendly answer within minutes through email support. I like not having to pay a monthly fee, but I have gladly paid for the extra styles just to support it. This is the one app I use daily. I highly recommend it..Version: 2020.12
✓ MrGreat app, indispensable for practising jazz impro. Plus you can record yourself with the backing track and check whether you're really making those changes!.Version: 8.3.2
✓ Essential!I am a singer and this is a Godsend, couldn’t work without it now for gigs as well as practice!.Version: 2024.1
✓ Excellent appThe Realbook cost about $45 when I first bought it in 1980. The IReal is very inexpensive for what it gives you. The developers covered all the items to make it versatile and user friendly. Forums and customer support are top notch. Don’t think about buying it- buy it. I’d pay $100 for this app if it cost that much..Version: 2021.12
✓ Brilliant app... just get it!I've been using iRealPro for years now & I've recommend it to every musician or student I come across. Simple to learn with great tutorials. Very easy & fast to chart a song & be up & practicing with the band in minutes! The forum has thousands of free tunes charted, that download super fast as they are essentially text files. You can edit them or notate your own charts, then loop a section for rehearsing difficult passages & more! With the practice mode, you can set the repeats to change either the tempo or a key change at each repeat, choose both for a real challenge..Version: 7.0.1
✓ 6 out of 5 StarsHave to admit I’ve had the app for a few years, just diving into it but it is terrific. I’ve played in various groups over the years but starting a jazz team with a singer and me on piano. Nice to have a variety of back up musicians for live shows. It is indeed terrific for practice and learning new charts but the back up music sounds great through a sound system. Great performance and great value..Version: 2022.2
✓ A perfect appI’ve used this app forever. Like most of my adult life, 10+years. I used to play upright bass professionally. This app has got me through hundreds of pick up gigs- you know the type jazz musicians. All you hear is “Hey come play”, and when you show up to the gig they just start calling tunes from 100 years ago like you should have it in your blood. This app let me keep up and sound great with that kind of gig. A quick download and you have changes to a ton of standards at your disposal. Only way this could be better is if it had the melody loaded in. For practice it’s great. The rhythm section can be pretty stale but for working your way through changes at various speeds, 😘👌🏼(chefs kiss). You can alter changes easily. And mixing out instruments is cool, I can practice walking lines. I use it even when writing songs. It’s pretty easy to make a lead sheet off these, including exporting to pdfs in case you need to pass to a friend. It’s great to have a band at your disposal to hear your parts too. There are some good grooves as well. Honestly the best money I’ve spent on an app as a jazz musician, maybe on any music tech stuff. Thanks guys for all the help over the years!.Version: 2023.2
✓ About time!About time! about time a Great App like this one is available..Version: 8.0.1
✓ Brilliant!This is a really essential tool for musicians. All the standards in any key you like and with chord shapes too. It’s possible to print the charts and I use this all the time for gigs. I use this to practice improvising more than the Abersole books..Version: 2021.4.1
✓ Superb value for moneyGreat app - very well thought through. Takes a while to get into the methodology but worth the effort. Excellent (quick) response to “help” queries too..Version: 2023.2
✓ OutstandingInvaluable app, and a great community behind it. Playlists, instant transposition when a singer turns up at your gig, I never leave the house without it..Version: 6.3.1
✓ More than you areThis is my 2nd review. Prior to this, I rated iRealpro 5 stars; now I like to change that rating to 5.5 to 6 stars. I love all that is possible with iReal. However, when an issue came up I submitted the problem in the evening thinking the response would get to me within a day or two. Instead, when morning arrived upon waking up, there it was; the answer to my question. Many thanks to the iReal crew..Version: 8.3.2
✓ Best thing since sliced bread!!Love this app and use it most days brilliant!!!!!!!.Version: 2021.1
✓ Superb!!!!Outstanding app for practicing improvisation and great choice of helpful features (styles, scales, transpositions)! Thanks a lot for that..Version: 2019.5
✓ Can’t Do Without ItPerfect tool for practicing, making simple charts and having fun! Worth every penny and more!.Version: 2021.12
✓ Printing from iPad still a problemGreat app except when trying to print from iPad. Charts invariably print in landscape mode when you really want them in portrait orientation..Version: 7.0.1
✓ IReal proThis app is soooo useful. I’ve enjoyed writing my own charts in to try out, and edit till good!.Version: 2021.7
✓ Practice Makes ProgressGreat automatic backing track software similar to Band In A Box without the three hundred dollar price tag. Great features allow control of most musical variables: key, tempo, and backup band instruments. Good sound for practicing along with, possibly good enough for demo’s or live karaoke performance. Wonderful software that has been around a decade or so, with plenty of time to work out any glitches a long time ago. The program provides animated chord charts that follow the beat, but does not provide a melody line in musical notation. I have found sheet music elsewhere online, and the keys usually match the original keys in the written out songs. A perfect practice accompanist for solo instruments. The huge library of tunes online that anyone can download into the software is amazing. The most useful musical app of all time..Version: 10.1
✓ AwesomeGreat for jamming along to, especially with transpose and tempo change. Love it.Version: 7.0.1
✓ Brilliant!I only wish this was available 50 years ago. I've recommended it to all of my music friends. Many thanks for the app. Gerry Clayton. Double Bass/ Fender Bass Guitar..Version: 8.2.3
✓ Passive UserI am use IRPro in conjunction with band -in-a-box . It works..Version: 2023.6
✓ Simply amazing!I rarely write reviews, but this app has been such an amazing tool for me as I learn jazz guitar, I can’t even imagine practicing without it! From playing along with jazz standards to just solo practice in ii-V-I lines, to the fact that you can change the tempos, keys, rhythm, all on your phone without having to plug any thing anywhere, makes this app one of the best I’ve found for anyone interested in learning to play music. I think the author deserves an away for this!.Version: 10.0.1
✓ Great app. Ignore 1 star review people!A great app. It's super easy to get all the charts by downloading them from the forum. This is a must for all jazz musos.Version: 4.5.1
✓ Ireal pro really helpful musical resourceIreal pro is a really helpful musical resource tool for musicians teachers and students it is a kind of digital version of the Real Books and also similar to band in a box which is 1 of the reasons I’ve given this app 3 stars The harmonic input on this app is intuitive but adding any rhythmic information is impossible and time consuming especially for working professionals. I do like this app and being able to sync between my devices is a god send but not being able to write out any kind of rhythm means I’ll probably have to start looking else where for a similar product Paul Francis Electric Upright Bassist.Version: 8.3.2
✓ IReal Pro reviewThis is one of the best music apps out there. I use it as a gigging pro for practice and performance! No more carrying around those bulky fake books to gig..Version: 8.2.1
✓ Way to learn'a de jazzEasy to use, easy to build on. Fantastic..Version: 8.0.1
✓ IReal reviewA professional musician friend thought iReal Is so valuable that he bought it for me. I can learn any genre! It is everything I need to practice tunes as well as send them to my band mates in a pdf format. I love that I can create my own charts, get charts others have made, change the key, write in text and practice tunes with a metronome and more. AND it is very affordable for anyone at any level..Version: 2021.4.1
✓ Ireal bThis is an incredible app, the price is excellent, I could not be happier. I have the piano chords plug also, there are a variety of chord choices and I can learn those very easily when playing on piano, when I'm not playing the piano i can have the chart playing so that I can sing along. It has helped me get my ear around harmony a lot faster than if i was working alone, its like my own personal muso/band who plays for me I LOVE this app could write an essay on how good it is..Version: 4.2.1
✓ Few add on suggestionsAmazing app the most useful thing I have on my iPod. Would be good if you could copy and paste when entering in chords. Ragtime for the jazz styles pack would be good..Version: 4.1.1
✓ Essential app for jazz musiciansTitle says it all 🎹👍🏻.Version: 2021.8
✓ Great app; active communityThis has made my practicing so much more enjoyable that I actually miss it if my day is too busy. Plus there are so many charts available in the forum, that I've only had to make ones for pretty obscure tunes. I only wish there was more flexibility in charting. As it is, you either have normal size type or squishy. Having even two levels of condensed type would get it another star..Version: 8.3.2
✓ Great app.It has been invaluable for my practice. Nothing negative to say; I’ll come back and give it 5 stars when they add the ability to transpose songs to every key, including enharmonic keys. As of right now, I have to edit tracks manually if I want to be able to practice them in both sharp and flat keys. If I want to play songs written in Ab in a sharp key, such as C#, I have to rewrite any chords that have flats and make them sharps—and I have to do it for every sharp key. Honestly though, it’s an awesome app..Version: 2021.1
✓ Where to begin - awesomeUpdated comments This app gets better and better. Editor is easier than ever and the audio is superior. Well done. And thank you for your efforts The improvements are many and excellent. Great accompaniment sound. Love them. The editor is like the web editor and a welcome change. They layout is intuitive on puts it all in front and accessible..Version: 7.0.1
✓ SeamanExcellent app that provides me backing tracks when I need to perform as a one man band. I know that you have a copyright issue with this ... But please please please please please make it so that we can put the melody in the songs ... It will help us a lot to remember the songs and also give us the idea of the actual song instead of just the accompaniment. Thank you for this great app.Version: 5.1
✓ I love iReal Pro!IReal Pro is just great! It helps me learn any jazz standard in the world. Thanks for developing it!.Version: 2021.7
✓ Awesome ToolInvaluable learning aid! I thought this was great from the beginning. Now? It just keeps getting better and better. The developers are really committed to making this the beat thing to happen since sliced bread. So worth the small price put out. With a forum that offers up chord changes to each song you are looking for, a real community effort, accessible..Version: 2020.9
✓ Great AppLove this app and it just gets better and better. The new rhythm libraries are truly worth it!.Version: 2022.7
✓ Great practice tool, good support.This tool is a great way to practice, and play the tune in any key. (As a keyboardist, I turn down the keyboard part and practce along from my fake book charts.) I don’t find the editing interface super intuitive, but there is online documentation and their support responds quickly to questions. The jazz list of tunes is pretty comprehensive. I wish there were more vetted rock tunes. (People post their own titles in the forums, but it is “caveat emptor”: some people who post don’t seem to know you can specify a minor key, or have screwy chords. Most recent versions let you preview before you download a song, but older version that runs on older iOS does not. (And that is the helpful tidbit I got from their support staff.) Overall, well worth the investment..Version: 10.0.1
✓ An amazing tool!This is a fantastic app. I use it for myself as a practice aid but I also use it as a teaching tool in my high school jazz band classes. The export as audio tool is especially useful to get quality rhythm section recordings into students' hands quickly and easily. The cost is worth every penny but a little too pricey to demand all of my students to purchase. I also really appreciate how adaptable iReal Pro is when editing charts. It's intuitive and easy to learn. This is in my top 5 must-have apps list!.Version: 7.0.1
✓ Made me moneyI am a professional pianist and use to carry all my fake books to a gig. Now all I use is this app. All I need to do is remember the melody. Most of the time I have singer so it’s not a problem. One time some people from Brazil came in. They requested songs I never heard of. I asked them, “if I play the chords, can you sing the melody?” They said yes, so I showed them the Brazilian songs that I had downloaded. They sang, loved it and gave me $100 tip. I have many similar stories. There are so many books that users have uploaded. Most of them are checked by the developer. They are very good at “talking with you and helping or suggesting tips. Every professional musician that I know has this app. What’s even better is that I have separate Play Lists for each singer. Even if they all sing the same song, the play list has it in their key with their arrangement..Version: 8.2.1
✓ An awesome secret weapon!An invaluable tool for learning the art of improv. Also a fantastic resource and quick reference for gigs. It saved my bacon "time after time".Version: 7.0.1
✓ Just one thing to say...I love this app and use it all the time for both playing along with music or writing music. My only problem is that this app doesn't have the ability to change the style mid-song. Therefore, songs like A Night in Tunisia, in which the groove changes from Latin to Swing and back, is left Latin throughout. Once that minor issue is fixed, this app will be perfect!.Version: 8.0.1
✓ My improv skills are improving!This app has been an absolute godsend for practicing jazz improv for my university audition that I have coming up. My one suggestion would be to add a note-taking feature so that I can write ideas down..Version: 2021.4
✓ Chord charts (transposable), playalong, practice, liveJazz, Latin, Pop and Blues styles to playalong with, editable charts, forum provides thousands of charts submitted by other users. Each version update brings more features. I sync my Apple devices, iPhone, iPad, Mac (e.g. alterations and additions at rehearsal are right there on my Mac when I get home). Great tool for learning chord scales, and has guitar, ukulele diagrams and piano voicings. The editor is easy to use, there are options for a new blank song and it's form, and up to 96 measures if you squash them in. Very useful for singers and songwriters because you can create your chart with possible chords and hear a backing as you work on lyrics. It's a required app for many music courses around the world. I use it in the background with a music PDF app to read my notation from as it does not allow notation or lyrics within itself but some just export the audio track of their songs and attach them to each PDF page and play it from there. I've arrived at gigs and all the bands are using it, so it's easy to sit in. A definite buy for musicians..Version: 8.0.1
✓ PLEASE ADD THIS TO THE APPI love this app and have been using it for years and it’s only gotten better and better. Best money I’ve ever spent. The only thing I have wanted for a long time but have yet to see is a loop feature. I’ve always wanted to loop certain sections of a tune to practice specific changes and I’ve had to go and record myself somewhere that I can loop it. It’s just a bit of a hassle and I’d love to be able to loop however many specific bars to practice hard spots with ease. Again, I love the app and everything you all have done with it over the years so please continue doing what you’re doing and thank you so much!.Version: 2021.1
✓ Learn fastThis app trains your mind and your ear..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Excellent chart/practice systemSupport very good. Learning to edit charts now..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Best thing since sliced breadI don't know how I'd survive as a muso without this brilliant product. For practising, ear-training, sharing, rehearsing, finding chords ... the list is long. And Massimo or Niki is THERE to help you when you need it. They must LIVE this app; they're always there. If it were 10 times the price it would be worth it! If/when all the musos you know and play with use this and share their playlists it ensures you're all playing the same chords - a blessing!.Version: 8.2.1
✓ Add An Open Swing Feel OptionOpen 1/8 playback is cool, you should add an open swing one..Version: 2023.6
✓ Soooo useful!Haven’t had this app for long but already am enjoying how very useful it is. For practice or learning new tunes it is a real help. Many many well known and some not so well known songs are available from the lists and a blog of helpful users contribute frequently. If you don’t find the one you’re looking for you can send out a request and another user may have what you need. Editing is pretty easy. It didn’t take me long to get my own tunes in and get practicing. Well done to the designers..Version: 8.0.2
✓ Excellent!It may seem expensive, but worth every penny..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Please help!I wanted to use this app for my iphone, but I accidently bought it on my Ipad, since every app I buy on either devices it allows me to open them on both devices since I’m using the same account, is there anyway I can change the app from the Ipad to the Iphone? It really doesn’t work for me on the Ipad. Sorry for bad english..Version: 8.0.4
✓ BestI have found that iReal pro is one if the best apps for guitarist from beginner onwards. A must platform which works on every device. Top class.Version: 2020.3
✓ Brilliant app!Just the ticket for practising solos and bass lines. No human would accompany you 12x on the trot without complaining!.Version: 2022.2
✓ ExcellentReally good for familiarising yourself with common or non-common jazz progressions and improv.Version: 7.0.1
✓ Indespendible !!!!!Man, I’ve never been particularly adept at the tech side of music although we all strive to improve. I admit it, as a composer/player I tend to be impatient! This app serves the purpose of the composer SO WELL. Have a melody and chord changes in my head! Bap! I lay it down, play with grooves, tempos, new harms. and bring the composition to fruition in know time flat! As a pianist, I merely deck the onboard cat and have the most AMAZING tool to craft a composition! Also, by running it around through all keys, newer added ideas seam to materialize! And although I know my theory, writing a lead sheet would deflate my immediate artistic enthusiasm! Hats Off to iRealPro! It’s a tool for the intermediate to the most advanced jazz musician. And what a practice aid! I insist any students I may take get it immediately!! It’s as valuable as the Real Book was in Boston almost 60 years ago, only 10 times more useful!!! Joe Delaney.Version: 2020.7.1
✓ The best app for instrumentalists and vocalistsProbably the most expensive but most worthwhile app I’ve ever downloaded. It’s. must have for gigging musicians, esp for jazz..Version: 2022.9
✓ A great app for the musician.As a Sax /Clarinet player It can be difficult to team up with a good pianist, but real player is a great alternative..Version: 10.1
✓ Excellent!This is a brilliant practice app and the latest update makes it even better! An essential app for musicians of all kinds!.Version: 6.0
✓ Very cool updateI was looking for a band in a box type app, now with the update this is it. So cool, considering the library of included songs. Has gone from a great resource to a very handy practice tool. Look frwd to some extra styles. The only thing i could wish for would be to be able to select a part of a song to play/loop for practicing those certain passages. (oh and maybe access to the melodies) New update.. Be able to practice those django licks now cool.Version: 0
✓ Fantastic appReally great app, helped my playing a lot. It would be 5 stars if you would allow modern jazz extensions like 'Bsusb9' or 'c^7+5'. You need these extensions for musicians to experiment freely with the changes on the app. Great work!.Version: 6.0.1
✓ Newest updateLove the App. My husband and a bunch of other “seniors” formed a oldies rock and roll band. My husband downloaded the his app and used their music plus added some of his old.. they updated it he app and his old, senior, iPad could not use the updated version. He only had a week to go before their first big paying job!! I contacted IReel Pro and within hours Warren contacted us and told my husband how to log back on with the new version. Everything worked and he was able to play his gig with his music. Thank you Warren!!!.Version: 10.1
✓ No 12/8 blues?5 stars for entire app however I purchased the blues set and liked what was there except…the slow blues had the lamest non slow blues bass lines. Seriously? Get someone who knows about the blues to program. If it was an off the shelf product I would want a refund. Hopefully they fix this. 0 stars.Version: 2023.2
✓ Performance tracks too!I’ve used this app since the early versions and it always surprises me. First off it let’s me create simple, readable chord charts and share them effortlessly. The backing instruments give you flexibility to easily practice and rehearse. While most of my use of this app is as a practice or teaching tool - I also use it to create basic backing tracks for live performance. I play lap steel - so all I really need is a bass line, and a simple rhythm instrument to back me up as I play the melodies. Once I get a chart working live - if I want better quality for a show etc. I’ll do a more pro track in my DAW with real instruments. But for many songs, doing simple gigs - this app works fine. The endings are not great, and the bass lines get a bit boring - but overall it works ok. If you construct a good chart with proper repeats, and pick a good style for the song etc. - the tracks work really well. I like the Rhodes piano, vibes and bass along with the Jazz styles. Love being able to export .pdf to share charts with the band..Version: 2021.12
✓ Fantastic AppI now use iReal Pro on both my MacBook and iPhone, it's convenient and easy to use. Best app I have ever bought. Five stars, without a doubt..Version: 5.0.4
✓ Excellent .This is an excellent app for all sorts of musical applications whether using for improvising over changes or scoring charts for gigs . Very flexible and quality sounds . Been using it for years and highly recommend it ..Version: 2021.1
✓ IReal GREATESTIf only this had existed 10 years ago I would have got into JAZZ so much quicker.Version: 2021.2
✓ IReal is unrealThis app is the best. And the developers know what they’re doing. A valuable resource for al musicians and a terrific tool for improvisers..Version: 2020.9
✓ Superb!What a fantastic idea. One of those apps that is genuinely useful and not just gimicky! How cool to know that anywhere you go you have a huge arsenal of song chord changes right in your pocket! Great quality app, simple and effective..Version: 0
✓ Phenomenal appThe timbres, chord changes, and styles are remarkably good on this app. You can also export your chart to Cubasis as well in order to use the iRealPro tracks as the foundation for more elaborate arrangements, including adding real-time instrumental and vocal parts through a mic. Outstanding support, too. Well done in every way!.Version: 2019.7
✓ Please add tabs for scalesGreat app for practice the only thing I would say so far is if they could add the tab for scales library..Version: 8.3.2
✓ Fantastic , highly featured appFantastic app for musicians. I just keep finding new features and this app is certainly the standard accessory for open Mics where I live.l.Version: 8.0
✓ Incredible App, Some downfallsThis app is incredible. Not only am I able to find most songs from the real book and quickly dose load them, if the charts are wrong I can edit the chords or timing or repeats, key or tempo as needed. Not only that, when i couldn't find a song on the forums, I could create the chart as I needed it for any song. Only downfall is that I paid for the app on my mac too, and I can't seem to login on the iphone to transfer my songs to my laptop. Incredible and needed for any jazz musician or genre beyond. In a band you can practice or share these charts so everyone knows how their solo will sound over the music. Great app. When I found I could create charts I was in disbelief. Comping style sounds great between bossa and up tempo or any other style.Version: 2019.7
✓ Great appThis is a great app and has great flexibility, well worth the $20.Version: 2020.7.1
✓ Amazing!This is a really good practice app. There is nothing stopping you from gigging with it. I could not believe the value: $20! It doesn't have all the features of BIAB but what it does is provide an accompaniment for a lot of tunes - and you can write your own. The next step, if you want really high quality, would be to load each track into an editing program and tweet them there. I haven't figured out how to do this yet but there is a fairly comprehensive tutorial with the app so it shouldn't be too hard. Spend the $20: it's worth it..Version: 7.0.1
✓ ParfaitCette app m'a été (et m'est toujours) extrêmement utile! Lorsqu'on sait comment il fonctionne, on ne peut s'en passer!.Version: 7.0.1
✓ Great update and continuing developmentAnother great update! Best app for gigging musicians bar none. I use it daily..Version: 8.2
✓ Edit or write your own backing tracksI’ve been using iReal Pro for years. Tempo, key, number of repeats, music style - all can be tweaked, plus add your own chords or whole songs. I’d like it connect to a PC so as to be able to copy and paste, transpose with smoother editing software. The “band” sound gets boring, but they will work as long as you do!.Version: 2023.2
✓ Easy to use and customizableLiking the app so far. Can you add the ability to cast through Google or Apple TV cast? It would be awesome to use home speakers and screens..Version: 8.3.2
✓ Perfect Resource for Jazz Muso'sThis application was the most expensive I've ever purchased, but it is well worth every cent. Not only do you not have to lug around Real books anymore, but the option of transposition, editing and saving charts is fantastic. The backlight, always on function, in either white or black background makes for day or night gigging a breeze. I've yet to play more than 4 hours with it, but the developer informed me he could get about 6 hours worth - more than enough for most jazz gigs, save those long night-morning sessions at Samois. The developer not only updates the application, but responds to enquiries. The option of uploading your songs to contribute to the pool is also another great option - one I haven't yet used..Version: 0
✓ A must for any aspiring musicianApps like this deserve 5 stars. Love and care has been put into its development and the steady improvements are well integrated. ICloud sync is an excellent feature, that clinched the fifth star for me, as when I started using the app it required saving files manually. I bought this app as I wanted to learn jazz and it really did help me understand structure and chord voicing. The price is worth it! You get what you pay for with apps and some users want professional apps at very low prices, which prevents market growth..Version: 8.3.1
✓ One of the best apps everThis a great app. I practice with it. I use it to make chord charts of my original songs. It use it to write those songs. Support is there if you need it, although I've only ever had to use it once. This is a great app..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Best $7.99 you'll ever spendThis app was already amazing before and now with 3.0 it has made it into a really fun practicing tool for learning songs. The sounds are actually pretty decent, as good as the last version of Band in a Box I owned (few years back mind you). Inspiring!.Version: 0
✓ Truly sensational!!Amazing! Love this app. Incredibly handy and has been created perfectly. Can't think of anything else that might need to be implimented.. Everythings been thought of. Thanks!.Version: 0
✓ Great app especially for transposersIReal Pro is probably the iPhone/iPad app I use more than any other. As a music practice tool, it’s just fantastic. Creating playlists, setting different tempos, changing key signatures — all very easily done. I’m a saxophone player, and I practice every day, often switching horns in the middle of practice. So transposing for different instruments (e.g. Bb to Eb) is pretty important; this app makes it easy. I’ve been a Band in a Box user for many years, but iReal Pro is a much easier product to use..Version: 8.3.2
✓ Great for capturing ideasLove iReal for letting me get ideas down quickly and comparing alternative harmonies and reharmonisation options.Version: 2020.12
✓ Five StarsIt was wonderful and worked flawlessly three years ago, and it keeps getting better!.Version: 8.3.0
✓ The ultimate backing track creator and moreWhat an amazing app! I can easily write (or use prewritten) chord progressions to create backing tracks that sound great and are excellent to jam with. Changing styles, tempos, and key signature is also extremely easy. The only thing missing from this app is an, “infinite repeat” function so I can jam for hours in end without pressing start when the repeats eventually come to an end. Right now repeats are limited to 30 times..Version: 8.3.0
✓ My favorite practice toolI have been playing music all my life and iReal is my favorite practice tool! In the past, I used it on gigs to accompany a singer when we didn’t have a chart. I really appreciated the ability to change to any key. Nowadays, I use it as a practice tool, and it’s fantastic! It’s very comparable to Band-in-a-Box but much cheaper— and easier to use on a phone. Now, you just need to add some more musical styles..Version: 2021.1
✓ Easy to use app for an elderly youngsterThis is the best app that I have come across for library, rehearsal, writing and performance. Most of the small bands I play with and arrange for use this great tool. The rest of it you wrote............Makes light of all my requirements. The penny soon dropped and having dropped led me to a wonderland of composition I had not experienced before. Thank you iReal Pro.Version: 10.0.0
✓ An great app for musiciansThis is the app I have been looking for! Considering the price of software like Band-in-a-box it is well worth the price. I also bought the Jazz Styles Pack. Congratulations on building a music app that is actually useful for musicians. I would give more than 5 stars if I could..Version: 4.0.2
✓ The iReal BookI purchased an earlear version of this app when I first bought my iPod Touch and like many other apps, I didn't really use it much. Then a guitar playing friend mentioned the app and I dowloaded the latest version and really tried it out. For someone who was used to using Band-in-a-Box for practice whilst doing a full time jazz course, I wish that this had been available then, I think that the backings are more jazz like, I never could get a good swing backing with BB, maybe I didn't try hard enough but I had more important things to do at the time! Yes, all sythesized backings sound samey after a time but at least these swing! I am amazed that someone was able to create a program like this, it has 900 tunes with the possibility to download hundreds more and fill in missing numbers by inputting them yourself. Like all prgrams it takes a little while to fully suss it out, after which it's very easy to use. As far as the play back is concerned you have full control, transposition for your instrument, changing key, speed, number of choruses, style and count-in! An excellent package and extremely good value!.Version: 0
✓ Fondles meThis app is honestly the only thing that got me through the HSC, it's soft and tender hands comforted me when I couldn't play my Music piece the day it was due..Version: 8.0.2
✓ Best and fav app on the marketThis is by far my most valuable and number 1 used app that I have on my iPhone, iPad and Mac. I use it for a number of purposes - my own practice, to help tutor students, and writing charts for my own live gigs. I do a lot of fill in work live so being able to chart songs ahead of time of tunes that I don't often play means I can hit the songs live and on the fly with no problems. I'm talking about non jazz songs that aren't on the forums. This alone makes it worthwhile for me. This has also become my most valuable practice and tutoring tool by going through arpeggios, chord work, improv solo and creating other exercises. Simply put, this app is worth every cent and then some!.Version: 5.1
✓ Simply Amazing AppThis app is just incredible, it's like every backing track you've ever wanted all in one. The online forums have 1000s of hit tunes to download instantaneously or you can create your own if you know the chords. As a saxophonist who plays solo gigs I have found this really useful. Highly recommend! You will not regret once you get the hang of it :).Version: 4.6
✓ CoolPerfect to frick around !!.Version: 2023.6
✓ Almost perfectWould love an easier way to flip between guitar chord diagrams. As far as I’ve found the only way is to long press on each chord one at a time, then exit that function and long press the next one. But otherwise it’s pretty perfect..Version: 2022.10
✓ Great appGreat app, chordal comping is accurate, could be more experimental, generative sequencing, etc, great app.Version: 2021.4
✓ Just awesomeEasy to setup and use in just minutes. Great sounding accompaniment. Wish there were more styles and instruments though. But I am not complaining. A great program overall..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Sensational!!This is everything I've been searching for. As a musician new to jazz music, this is perfect! Transposable keys, just great to get the ball rolling and have my own band already in the app to work t my own pace! Love it..Version: 4.5.1
✓ Killer app for jazz studentsThe addition of the play-along rhythm section and the latin styles make this a MUST HAVE app for jazz musicians, especially students who are learning to improvise. Compared to buying Band-In-A-Box, this is absolutely dirt-cheap and in many ways more useable. I love it!.Version: 3.0.4
✓ Great !Easy to use. My portable band that I use daily..Version: 2020.7.1
✓ Why not make it the best?I love this app. It can use a few more features to put it as a very versatile tool. Tempo change on selected measures, style changes on selected measures, complete stop(no overtone) would make this the most used in practice session and gig. Why not add these simple functions. If anything the latest version has a more confusing interface..Version: 2022.2
✓ Newest update layoutI love this app and have used it for years... the newest update has changed the layout and now in portrait mode, songs are always displayed at the side unless I hit full screen. I changed settings to default full screen but it does not work. This becomes frustrating if you are trying to call up tracks in no specific order as it adds extra steps. please fix so that in portrait mode, picking a song automatically opens the music and closes the side panel..Version: 2020.9
✓ Chord progression templates for hundreds of jazz standardsWorth the price if you want chord progression templates for a large number of classic jazz standards (900). For a few songs I wasn't convinced by a particular chord choice but the app allowed me to edit the default chords. The play option is great. The default rhythmic style is fine but I downloaded the other jazz and latin rhythm options for variety (additional charges). Many users will want an option to display lyrics and play the actual melody. The app description explains that these are not included because they are protected by "copyright" so only chords are included. Ultimately, it might be worth creating a paid option to get the lyrics and hear the melodies, with copyright charges built into the download charge. At any rate, a fantastic app..Version: 3.0.4
✓ Great app - two small suggestionsFantastic selection of real book lead sheets, and easy to use. Transpose function is quick and accurate (based on my testing), and generally it's a really well designed and useful app for musicians and music students. One suggestion relates to the jpg images of lead sheets. It would be really useful if these were in a more flexible format for printing. I'd like the option of printing on A4 sized paper (for US users this is about the same as Letter size). But there's lots of pixilation at this size - not pretty. Any chance of a choice between "high" and "low" res images, or even an editable format of some kind? Also, is it possible to add the option of creating lead sheets using roman numerals rather than note names (e.g. #IVm7b5 instead of F#m7b5 in the key of C)? If so, it would be good to be able to reset the I chord manually if needed (e.g. when the bridge is almost all in a different key). This would be a really useful tool for teaching functional harmony. Great work so far, though - thanks for a cool app!.Version: 0
✓ Surprisingly useful!Simple. Well designed, can be used as a replacement for a fakebook, plus lots of flexibility for practicing with tempos and keys. Sounds and performances are a touch stiff, but given what it does for what it costs...wow. When I was first learning to play 30 years ago, this would have been nothing short of a miracle. All it needs is an option to add melodies. (Edit) No worries. I do understand the copyright issue. I was more thinking of some kind of record / text feature that would allow users to add melodies and lyrics. I also realize that would be a significant restructuring of the application..Version: 8.3.0
✓ A great app with one flaw.This is an essential app for students and professional musicians. And not only allows you to play nearly any tune in different styles and tempos and keys, but it is also handy for writing simple chord charts. The one real problem it’s with the chart writing function. It is not possible in this program to indicate anticipated chords, which is essential in notating popular music. If this function were improved I would give the app five stars. Another welcome improvement would be the addition of more “styles”, for which many users would gladly pay extra..Version: 2021.7.1
✓ Good appPurchased and downloaded on my iPad but I can’t seem to download on my MacBook without purchasing again. Is there away to do this? Otherwise, great app..Version: 2022.11
✓ This app would be perfect with iCloud syncAn amazing practise and teaching tool. If only the charts I made on my laptop could sync to my phone and iPad so I am never without a chart. Seems like an easy thing to implement, pls add.Version: 7.0.1
✓ Perfect on all levelsI’ve been playing for over 50 years . But always been a reader, pit bands , big bands , orchestral etc . IReal pro has enabled me to break free of this . Shed time has become a real pleasure again . The support team are quick with replies and very patient with beginners like myself. Thanks everyone ,.Version: 2019.7
✓ Great as is. Encourage further development.I’m a jazz snob. This app is perfect for me since I am learning jazz piano. It is also very good for composing and even recording a tune with other instruments, PROVIDED, one uses the midi out file transfer. The internal sounds are okay for learning but not good enough to record with. That’s okay because with a midi file player and multi layered sample based apps one can can obtain a very decent recording. I encourage the developer to consider further enhancements such as more comping styles, chord inversions, additional drum fills and practice tunes " in the style of (artist)". BTW, I have all the Session Band Jazz apps and this app has them beat. Great job!.Version: 8.3.2
✓ Great for accompanistsAs an ex-bassist (who doesnt really need the melody) to get thru an unfamiliar tune on a gig, this app is a great one. I already have the real the book hard copy, but this would prove very useful in those really dark venues. I seem to prefer the white print on black background (must be my eyesight preference at my age!). The transcription is a godsend, especially if in discussion with another muso, I can simply just call out the chords. The layout is very similiar to how most musicians (like me) just simply want the chords to accompany a lead voice/instrument. Its seems to true to the hard copy version. A few tunes are still missing but the missing ones are the truly obscure ones that you wont be called on to play mid gig (believe me!). This can actually take the place of one's hard copy when one is too lazy to carry the hard copy original on a straighforward session. Its an esoteric book for true musos and so I forgive the price - coz remember, u dont wont get this app ANYWHERE! PS:Its even better than scribbling on a napkin badly shouted out chords across the stage! Believe me..Version: 0
✓ Excellent AppAs a professional musician, this is the most helpful and handy App to use whether I’m teaching or doing a gig... thank you!.Version: 8.0.4
✓ Great, but...I have been using this app for years now and I do love it. I think there’s room for a few vital adjustments tho... one in particular that I would really like to see fixed. When a song is transposed and I want to edit chord changes, as soon as it goes into edit mode, it shows the chords in the original key the song was inputted, rather than the key I’m currently working with. This can be very frustrating in the moment for trying to make quick adjustments as I have to constantly transpose in my head to make edits. It would be nice if the edit mode always stayed in whatever key the current setting is..Version: 10.0.1
✓ IndispensableI’m currently playing jazz jams in London, and this is indispensable, especially when tunes are called that I don’t know. Pretty much every rhythm section player I see uses this. Even the practice backing track mode works pretty well. Good stuff!.Version: 2021.8
✓ IReal observationsIt will be super sick when iReal includes melodies. Starting a chart from scratch also is a bit cumbersome. Also, once you’ve transposed a tune, and then you want to edit it, it will revert to the key it was in before, so that too is a bit cumbersome. Otherwise, thumbs up..Version: 2023.2
✓ One of the greatest practice coachesI have been using this app for several years now. It’s useful for my drum practice, bass practice, vocal practice, songwriting. How one chooses to use this as a practice tool: the sky’s the limit! The online community is amazing. I can have friends come over and I mute their particular instrument along with mine.I am learning bass as my second instrument and this program is invaluable. I can slow down anything to a manageable Tempo so I can explore the chords deeper. I can pick up even esoteric jazz and pop songs with the incredible online community. I do not need to be connected to the Internet to play downloadable songs with this software. I use it to also practice vocal exercises. It also exports charts to PDF which is fantastic if I want to play or share a chart with the actual song audio. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made from my iPhone and iPad. They say Time magazine voted this One of the 50 best inventions of 2010. I say it’s still one of the 50 best inventions for musicians and it’s 2018. Thank you developers!.Version: 8.3.2
✓ Waited to ReviewI waited to review this app to see how I’d like it and it’s functions. As a beginning musician trying to learn guitar in later life and never having learned any music/instruments you I’m not sure you will find a better tool. Takes a little time to learn how to use the app effectively, but I have found the app to be extremely flexible and helpful. Completely worth the money..Version: 8.3.2
✓ Superb app for backing track creationSuperb app for creating backing tracks for jazz standards. Really like the selection of templates for different music styles. Has great functionality for setting tempo and instrumentation. Would be great to see a ‘transpose’ tool to enable key changes..Version: 2022.11
✓ Love itGreat app!.Version: 7.0.1
✓ True ExcellenceIt's not often that an app, especially a music writing app, is so easy and ergonomic to use! Their forums are a fantastic resource, full of songs and tips! Highly recommend it for any musicians and composers out there..Version: 4.6
✓ Great AppOne of the few apps that allows left handed guitarists. Well done I’ll leave more when I have had time to use the App K Patching.Version: 2019.7
✓ Most useful app I’ve ever foundI use iRealPro on practically a daily basis. Mostly, it’s for daily practice, but also for being able to look up songs I’m interested in learning, or practicing my analysis skills. Whilst this will never replace playing with a live band, iRealPro is the next best thing. I’ve seen iRealPro grow and improve over the last few years, particularly in the styles and backing track generation. The developers are responsive to beta feedback and user suggestions. Things I’m hoping to see in future versions are more controls over dynamics, and adding text notes to tunes. But these are really additions to an already very strong app..Version: 8.2.1
✓ Must have App.I use this everyday, can’t imagine practicing without it. Thanks..Version: 2023.6
✓ Ten Star App!I've been using iReal Pro since the beginning... and it keeps getting better and better! Besides being a great practice aid for my trumpet, it has helped me understand song form, and how to write it. Then it helped me learn the bass guitar, and now I'm able to teach basic guitar and piano to young students. In a pinch, it is a great backup band for live performance! I recommend this app, by name, to every musician I encounter, and am proud to give it the highest rating available! My only complaint is that I can't rate it higher, so that people can see what an exceptional app it is..Version: 8.0.1
✓ Absolutely fantasticAs a working musician and a university tutor in music and music technology, this app ticks all the boxes. I know of no other app world wide that is anywhere near to this. It has changed my life. Thank you so much..Version: 8.0.1
✓ None other like itIReal Pro is one of its kind, the program works so smoothly and the updates it has received over the last few months have shown their ability to listen to the consumer and streamline an already incredible application. A necessity for any serious musician..Version: 8.0.4
✓ Great appI just wish I didn’t have to buy it twice for the Mac Version... why is Mac Version more expensive for same functionality?.Version: 2019.7
✓ AWESOME APP!This app is amazing. It's helped me so much with just practice and gigs as we'll it would be really cool if they could incorporate a link to your own devices so if you change anything for example on your phone then it will also change in the app on your iPad but all an all this app IS AWESOME!!!.Version: 7.0.1
✓ IReal Pro yeh yeh!What a great app! Every muso should get it. I like how it's so versatile. You can play along with it, edit, add more songs, even your own charts, tutorials etc, so glad my fellow musician/s introduced me to it. I do like to use the hard copy but my iPhone & iPad have taken precedence :-). Thanks- pdad..Version: 8.0.2
✓ I love it!! What a bargain!I’ve spent countless hours joyfully singing with this app. I’ve also been able to set keys that fit my voice like a glove. This used to be a very awkward process with a pianist, because finding the perfect key can be very time consuming. Well, it is for me. I can also email a set list and charts for upcoming gigs. This makes life so much easier. It is truly a bargain. I’ve saved hundred of dollars in rehearsal time because of this app. I recommend it to all my singer friends. Thank you!.Version: 10.0.1
✓ The best gets better.While I'm a bit of a novice at this app it has been really fun to use so far. It takes a bit of learning but that just gives your enjoyment longevity. It's really easy to dive in with a few chords and get some rather impressive results back in an instant. The new update makes this app even more of a joy to use. Most especially the new fonts. Now I can print out my compositions in a piano chord font and jam along without having to read any sheet music, it's very quick to pick up new tunes. The same is true for the guitar font. The only thing that's missing for me is the ability to import a MIDI file from another app and have that converted into an iReal format. But that's just me wanting much more than I have. It's still a five star app in my book..Version: 5.0
✓ IReal Pro, a real winner!I’ve been using iReal Pro for a couple of years now on my solo piano jazz gigs. Solo gigging can be a bit boring and tedious at times, especially when the music your playing is requested to be purely background music at corporate/special events. IReal Pro has given me a bit of spice to my music for the average listener, in addition to working with a metronome type tool, which is always good way to improve your time. I love the ease of downloading tunes and / or creating new tune arrangements with this app! The ease of changing the key is convenient on the fly when needed. Setting up play lists for special events is super handy in addition to having quick access to a singer’s song list that may have “out of the ordinary” keys. There are many great reasons to use iReal Pro, but one great plus is the quick response to customer support (in real time) to questions one may have when using this great app. Thank you, iReal Pro!.Version: 2023.2
✓ Not happy and for $38I would like to sync my iPhone and my Mac And iReal Pro has no simply way to explain how to facilitate that process.Version: 2020.3
✓ IReal ProOne of the greatest “tools” for gigging and getting vocals and tunes lined up for gigs and performances… great practice tool too … just super just wish I could find a copy for my old iPad replacement… someone stole my old iPad and when I bought a refurbished older one APPLE wouldn’t let me get a copy for it so I’m using my iPhone… but they should make older versions of the apps available 😳.Version: 2023.6
✓ AmazingWhat an amazing use for the iPhone. Perfect for any jazz musician. The ability to transpose into any key at a touch is unbelievabe. This will become an essential tool for gigs with singers ;) Thankyou!.Version: 0
✓ Bass/richoI have found this so useful when playing with others and I do not have all the charts with me, or I want to change the key on the spot. Also great for practising alongside the internal piano and rhythm.Version: 7.0.1
✓ FantasticAlways have loved the app, and the new update is just amazing with all the new styles especially. Must have for musicians practising improvisation, but also handy for exploring comping patterns and walking bass lines etc.Version: 6.0
✓ Amazing AppDoes everything you'd want it to do. Legendary for learning comping/melody/improvisation for any tune. Pop, blues, reggae all included too if you look hard enough. Sweet that you can hear you own sing with a who band..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Awesome appBought this app after seeing a few tutorials about using it to export midi data over to iOS Garageband. I tried it and it worked perfectly, allowing me to bring a song over to GB and change out instruments, change keys and tempo to fit my needs. I’ve only started exploring this app but from my initial experiment, I can see this as a SUPERB Garageband companion and to help me improve my lead guitar skills by practicing over song arrangements. Amazing app right here!.Version: 2020.12
✓ A must...Absolutely worth the price of admission! I use it on my iPad so I can practice anywhere. Very impressed with this app mainly because it's so totally versatile and practicle..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Fantastic!I've had this app for years & it keeps getting better. Huge resource of songs, the ability to transpose & amend things within the songs (if you like to play different changes), and now, the chart input part of the app has been streamlined & made SO much easier! Keep up the great work! Love it!.Version: 5.1
✓ Powerful toolThis app is a great tool for any Jazz muso, really changed the way I look at learning tunes. Highly recommended..Version: 7.0.1
