Ratings and Reviews
Unique and Indispensable, with some glitches
Must have for anyone with more than a handful of tunes, and a great help when learning them - particularly for the musically challenged like myself. There’s nothing else quite like it on i(Pad)OS, and the latest version finally supports collections.
Would love to give 5 Stars but there are some nags:
- setting markers when selecting parts/bars for playback is unintuitive and capricious
- selections that start with pick-up notes don’t loop properly (there’s a short pause that messes up timing). Please fix!!
- multiply editing and saving a tune can create multiple copies
- GUI could be a bit more intuitive/standard in some places, although it by and large works really well.
Great traditional music app
It’s so cool to be able to carry around a library of tunes in my pocket and to hear them play, import new ones and see the dots. Thanks Will for developing this app and helping me to learn new folk and traditional tunes- a big shout out to the developers of the ABC standard too!
The Craik
A brilliant Ap for all Celtic Musicians; not only is there a good range of tunes included, but it's easy to add tunes that are in abc format - i.e. From sites such as 'The Session', or tunes that have been sent to you.
What's more, the Ap gives you the sheet music (printable), and will play you the tune, either once through or repeatable. If you are learning a new tune, you can slow it down to help you to play along at a comfortable 'learning' speed.
Highly recommend by this fiddle player.
