iReal Pro is two things musicians love in one app: a realistic backing band that plays along with you, and a huge free library of chord charts you can pull up anytime — at practice, at a jam session, or on a gig. Need to transpose a song for a singer? Done. Want to practice with a full rhythm section behind you? Hit play.

We're a small team of musicians who built this app because we needed it ourselves. We hope you enjoy using it as much as we do.
I been using this app for a few years now, and it have become a essential part of my work, it’s an amazing tool for organising my charts and also for practicing purposes. The only thing I will add to this app is the availability to add some notes which can very good to write breaks or rhythmical queues.
iCloud support

Ok there is iCloud support.
Developer Response
iCloud Sync is available in the iOS version as well. You can enable it in the More section of iReal Pro.
best app ever

Heard so much about this app before buying it. Interface is easy to use, composition is easy to do (took me 15minutes to learn everything) and serves its purpose in creating chord charts. Transposing function is very very useful and is what makes this app stands out from the rest. Works perfectly with my iPad Mini and charts are clear and easy to see. Would recommend this to any budding musician out there. Worth ever cent paid.

This app is brilliant. Perfect educational aid and, well, not enough words to describe the player tools. Probably my best purchase in ten years. Well done!
