iReal Pro

I have to pay 3 licenses €18 each for my phone, iPad and Mac for an app that is basically a terrible wrapper for a website because somehow it is too difficult to link up my accounts, and you still get ads every time you download a playlist. How is this more expensive than musescore? The real value is the songs, which the community supply, not the app which basically never changed for years. 5 star community tho, love the high quality songs.

Ik bought this app for my iPad, but at home i want to use it on my mac. I have to pay another time for it? :-(

A great app! Indispensable for me when studying. The bass and drums in particular sound very good and it's great to make your own backing track with this app. I love this app and it is well worth the money!

I love this app because I can excercise my singing without a pianoplayer. And at any rythm or speed

Not only does this app come with forums that have loads and loads of chord-schemes in all kinds of genres to download for free, but it's also really easy to make or adapt you own. With tabs if you want them, not just for guitar but also for ukelele. And on top of that: when something isn't clear or goes wrong there's a customer-service that gives you a personal answer within a reasonable term. Very much worth it's price!

Ireal pro is perfect for learning and practicing jazz, blues and classic rock songs (highlights to most Beatles and Pink Floyd songs, but many more).
In the context of our jam group it is useful for practicing "playing with the band" following the chord changes because it highlights the chord being played by the audio player.
Very nice for practicing improvisation. Not everyday is Band jam day, this app is there for the home jams.
It shows the chord chart (so that you also know how many beats/bars are played per chords), in that way you have a quick overview of the song structure. It’s much better to learn a song than normal .crd.
A nice unexpected touch is that the chord highlights is sync'd with audio when played via airplay on the stereo.
Great tool!

Purchased this app to get easy access to jazz pieces I need to play with my pratice band. Searching for songs, downloading playlists, it takes a bit of effort, but now that it works, I use it every day.

Super useful software and I’m happy there’s a decent and affordable BIAB alternative!
There’s two things that are currently sub-optimal:
Display mirroring ends once the song stops playing. This ensures you miss the intro of your song if you’re playing through your apple TV or simar device. Please fix this!
Also, I can’t add an anacrusis, which bugs me. It’s weird and impractical to start a song on a half sentence every time. (Like the autumn leaves chart).
5 stars if they manage to fix these problems!

Very practical when singers in my band need to practice my songs. Audiobus will make it easier to play along the melody and record it. Then you deserve five stars!

There are a lot of styles missing, especially in the Latin, Salsa and Brazilian category. Also the pop styles are a little outdated. Could be in-app purchases also, but come on, adding styles isn’t that big of a job.
Also the chord input could be a little more intuitive and easier to use. For the rest no complaints, the app does what it promises.

The ability to make and download chord charts is great, but the playing styles feel and sound undercooked. Back in the eighties home keyboards already employed similar rhythm styles and while iReal Pro can hold its own against them, it's often not much of an improvement.
That said, the backings are perfectly usable for study purposes

This app is by far the best chord writing tool I know. The transposing option is so handy for me while accompanying various singers with different reaches. Wow

Nooit meer zoeken tijdens optrede.
Hele repertoire bij de hand .
Transponeren en teksten toevoegen.
In een woord geweldig.

As a piano player trying his hand at guitar playing this app allows me to make the transition easier by switching between the guitar fret and piano presentation. As a tool for practicing and jamming it all works a treat, with lots of songs to choose from.
For me iReal Pro is most useful as a compositional tool, where I can try out alternative chords and musical styles on the fly. Very happy with this app.

GEWELDIGE APP.!
Het zoeken naar schema's in het forum gaat soms wat omslachtig.

Héél leerzaam en geschikt om te oefenen met akkoordschema's.
Ook ideaal als begeleidingscombo voor je eigen jamsessions!

Dit is een perfecte App om mee te oefenen. Je kunt alles aanpassen zelfs het tempo en dan blijft hij correct meespelen. Geweldige App voor heel weinig geld.

Amazing. Used to practice with Jamey Aebersold books and CD's but was always limited by the few I owned. This app does all this and 100x more! Very excited to get practicing much more and better now!
