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!

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for the nice review! Enjoy your practice!

Great App except for lack of documentation

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.

Super Metronome ,

A metronome with attitude!

We all grew up with the Seth Thomas metronome and then migrated to a digital metronome and, for many of us, Band in a Box. Ireal Pro is the best of them all. Many song lists are available on the forum and it is not too difficult to build your own changes. And now, instead of a click, you get a rhythm section playing chords behind your practice. With the pandemic Ireal Pro was a definite bonus when playing in online sessions. As the old commercial says, "Try it, you'll like it!"
