This app is awesome for any player of any level

Having the ability to play with other people is an essential skill for a musician and this gives you all the practice you need. It doesn't matter what instrument you play or sing you can play along with this, mute instruments you don't want and put any of the songs in different styles to really stretch your ability and imagination.You can change keys each time around to really level up your ability. I have every one of my piano students on this app too and I've seen their ability and enjoyment of playing increase rapidly. Forget metronomes! Pick any song and style, mute everything but the drums and suddently scales are fun! Can't say enough good things. Just do it!

Thank you so much for the nice review! Enjoy your practice!
Great App except for lack of documentation
Neubop
Well done. Super tool and super flexible. The single largest issue is when you admirably succeeded in maximizing how many chords can fit on a page, it overcame your otherwise wonderful intuitive user interface.Also I am a beta tester on the iOS version.There is need for some expanation about the relationship between where chord symbols are placed in a measure and when they sound. It appears there are many places where a symbol can be placed which will sound the same number of beats as spaces are ignored except when creating ambiguity. A bit of documentation would be helpful.
Game Changer

I am an intermediate guitar player, learning jazz. This app, after even one week of regular use, has accelerated my ability to learn jazz by orders of magnitude. This is what I have been looking for forever. After a few more years of regular use, I am confident I will become the expressive melodic musician I have always knew I was able to become, I can already feel it starting to build. I am forever grateful to iReal Pro, for the continued gift of learning music. You got a lifelong champion in me. Bravo.

My Opinion
barakmusic
iReal Pro is a great software for practice I'd give it 5 stars. The way to configure the structures is not accurate. what I really feel about is: I think the company has sat down on its success and forgot all about working on a more inteligent tool to the service of musicians (better sound, better drum patterns, the posibility of writing some music notes for us to remember how the song starts). Just two name a few: would be great ireal would read melodies, also capability of at least write a rhythmic pattern to remember formulas, better pattens specially in the popular styles (rock, pop, blues, etc), just including those 3 features ireal would be the leader and best out there...Rafael Barake
