Ready for iOS 27. Your first daily workout is now free: tell Drop2 how long you have, and it plans the session and hands you from one trainer to the next. Settings has moved to the gear on Progress, and the Today card now explains its scores. Also fixed: practice history syncing between devices set to different calendars, and a microphone that could stay silent after switching apps. Plus a new App Store preview video, and store pages in German, Spanish and Korean.

Version 2.5 - "What comes next" WHICH GRIP NEXT? DROP-2 - MOVES - The grip you are leaving is on the neck, the next chord is named - "Dm7 -> G7" - and you build the voicing that moves the voices least. One move is one item, in every key: which transitions you can make, and which still jump. - Compare plays the grip you left, yours, then the nearest, so you hear why. - Comp a whole tune the same way: Play-Along gains a Tap switch. The opening grip is given, and every chord after is answered from where your hand was left. HEAR A LINE, PLAY IT BACK - Ear - Phrases gains a Play switch: the same jazz line sounds over its chords, and you play it back on the guitar. The app waits on each note until it is right, names the first miss, and replays the line with the dots stepping. Its own progress, beside the tapped drill's. THIS WEEK - A weekly report on the Progress screen, read from your own practice: what you mastered this week, what is solid, and the one thing to work on next - with a button that starts it. NOW IN FRENCH AND JAPANESE - The whole app, in both. Note names can be spelled in English (C D E), German (C D E ... H) or solfege (Do Re Mi) in any language - Settings > Note names. - Strings are numbered 1-6 in a circle beside the nut on every neck, so a fretboard never hands you the answer.

Version 2.4 — "Guitar optional" PRACTISE WITHOUT THE GUITAR • Fretboard · Tap — the app names a note and a string, "F# · String 4", and you find it by tapping the neck. No microphone, no permission, the same spaced repetition as the played drill. • Drop-2 · Tap — it names a chord and the voice on top, "Cmaj7 · G on top · top 4 strings", strums it, and you build the grip with four taps. Hear what you built and compare before you commit. • Both sit beside the played drills as a Play | Tap switch, each with its own progress and its own coverage grid. NEW IN THE EAR TRAINER • Phrases. A short jazz line sounds over its chords and you tap it back on the neck, note by note: chord tones, guide-tone connectors, approach patterns and enclosures, in every key. Placed the wrong note? Hold it to move it, or drag it off the neck to remove it, then press Check. • Top note. The chord is named, and you name the voice singing on top — the ear a comper actually uses. A FINISH LINE FOR PRACTICE • Runs. Pick a length in Settings, watch the strip fill as you answer, and finish on a result card with your score and your personal best. Every 25 answers becomes a gold star. • Checking the answer first is marked, not punished — the card counts what you knew and what you checked, separately. THE DAY'S WORKOUT • Tell it how long you have and whether you have a guitar, and it plans the session: an ordered route across the trainers, each step sized to its share of the time and to how fast you actually answer. Finish one and it hands you to the next. YOUR DAY FOLLOWS YOU • Your plan, your personal bests and today's practice now sync across devices with iCloud — not only the practice log.

Version 2.3 — "Hear it, and come back" THE EAR TRAINER, REBUILT • Intervals are answered on the neck. A six-string fretboard pad names the lower note and lays every unlocked interval out as a degree-labelled circle — hold one to hear it before you commit, slide off to cancel. • Chord questions now play a real drop-2 voicing in a random inversion. Answer by quality, and hold any row to hear that quality in the same key and see its shape on the neck. • New: Cadences. ii–V–I, minor ii–V–i, ii–V, ii–V–I–VI and I–VI–ii–V, played as voice-led drop-2 shapes, with the neck stepping through the voicings in time with the audio. • One selector — Intervals · Chords · Cadences · Stats — and spaced repetition per track. COME BACK TOMORROW • A streak widget for the Home Screen and Lock Screen: your streak, the last two weeks of practice, what's due in each trainer, and one tap into whatever needs you most. • An optional daily reminder that stays quiet unless something is genuinely due or a streak is at risk. NEW CHANGES TO PLAY OVER • Three new forms for the Lines trainer and the Play-Along band: the bird blues (the bebop blues, with its chain of descending ii–Vs), the Coltrane cycle (three tonics a major third apart), and a standalone minor ii–V–i — the cadence Minor Blues, Blue Bossa and Autumn Leaves all turn on, and the one the new Cadences track teaches. EVERYWHERE ELSE • Every trainer now carries the same status line — items due, items mastered, current stage. Tap it to start a review. • The Fretboard trainer gained a real review mode that drills exactly the notes that are due.

Jazz Guitar is now Drop2 — new name, new icon, new launch animation, same coach. And 2.2 is our biggest update yet: PRACTICE WITHOUT HEADPHONES The band plays out of your speaker, you play over it — and Drop2 still hears you. An on-device model picks your guitar out of the mix and credits every note it catches, in the Lines soloing trainer, the Play-Along band, and Drop-2 strum practice. Wired headphones still work exactly as before. SEVEN NEW STANDARD FORMS Solo and comp over the complete 32-bar I Got Rhythm and Honeysuckle Rose (full AABA), plus Take the A Train, So What, Blue Bossa, Autumn Leaves, and All the Things You Are — in any key, unlocking as your curriculum grows. SMARTER STRUM SCORING Drop-2 Train's "Strum Chord" now verifies the exact voicing, octave by octave — it can tell inversions apart from a single strum. ALSO IN 2.2 - Clear "heard → scored" feedback when scoring over the speaker, so you always know what the mic picked up - In-app guides: short reads on drop-2 voicings, guide tones, and practice planning - Many audio-stability and scoring-accuracy fixes — headphone plug/unplug, interruptions, and mic-permission handling mid-session Questions or ideas? support@drop2.studio

Jazz Guitar is now easier to find around the world, with new store listings in Japanese, UK English, and Latin American Spanish. No changes to the app itself — the next feature update is already in the works.

This is the biggest update yet — Jazz Guitar is now a complete practice coach, not just a fretboard trainer. NEW TRAINERS • Scales & Arpeggios — play any scale or arpeggio and have every note checked by ear, with a full-neck degree map. • Lines — solo over a real backing band of walking bass and drums, with live feedback on every note you choose. • Ear Trainer — name the intervals and chords you hear, no guitar needed. NEW BAND & TOOLS • Play-Along — comp the changes in time with a looping rhythm section. • Metronome with a sampled drum-kit voice. SMARTER PRACTICE • Spaced repetition targets your weak spots automatically. • A progressive curriculum unlocks new keys, chords, and forms as you master the basics. • A new Progress tab with streaks, an activity heatmap, accuracy trends, and a daily "what to practice" plan. • iCloud sync keeps your history across devices, with a backup you control. Plus a redesigned look, a first-run walkthrough, and dozens of refinements throughout. Thanks for playing — we'd love your feedback and a review.

Redesigned from the ground up with a fresh new look. This update brings a native iPad experience, a built-in chromatic tuner, and smarter practice sessions — the fretboard trainer now prioritizes notes you haven't mastered yet, so every session counts.
