Jamzone - Sing & Play Along 4+

I have been looking on iTunes for an app like this, many failed attempts though, But this app is the real deal!
It has the chord progressions which you can change, remove any instrument or vocal to your liking. Then you can save it to a playlist for performing live. I can’t wait to try this in a live setting, I don’t have to deal with the drama of a band. Although I might hire a singer. And have more venues to play too.
My only gripe with this app is the sample tracks should be longer, maybe 30 seconds or a minute?
The app is free and you can try it out, you only pay for the tracks you want to buy. Play one gig with this and you already have all your money back...Start Jamming!!

Hello AtomicPunkForever5150,

We're thrilled that you like the app and we'd like to thank you for your support.

Have a great day!

So I’m pleased with the app so far but would like to see some changes. I wish that you could move songs around in your set list, I’ve tried seeing if there was a setting for this but I have to manually set up a set list and find the song in my favorites to move it. Maybe it’s just user error but like I said I’ve tried everything to make this easier. I would like to see guitar diagrams it keeps saying they are coming but I’ve yet to see them. I would also like to be able to go in and set macros for changing my play settings i.e. setting up a footswitch so I can push play without having to use mouse or touch the screen. Also I notice that at times it will play a song but it’s still stuck on the previous screen and I’ll have to exit out and restart it. But overall it does what it says. Wish they would add a more songs to work with this. I wouldn’t recommend using this live unless you recorded it using a DAW and the playing back as it does glitch from time to time.

Hello, thank you so much for your feedback! I'll be happy to forward it to the team.

The good: tracks are pretty high quality, and some have different styled versions, which is good. Also, you only have to pay for tracks you want, and you can preview portions first.

The bad: jazz coverage is weak. A few classics, like “All Of Me” we’re represented multiple times but a lot of the standards were missing. Also browsing for just the Jazz items was difficult, there is a Big Band playlist, but that had a lot of rock stuff in it. And Big Band is not the whole of Jazz by any means. Other than searching by name I couldn’t see any other way to find stuff, as the Jazz tunes seem to be buried, what’s there anyway, making it needle in a haystack time.

But it has a few gems, “In The Mood” Andrews Sisters style allows you to mute each of the three vocalists individually, and most of the instrumentals are pretty nice sounding, seems a cut above the Midi-player style of backing. For me it’s probably useful for a couple of tunes, and that’s about it for now. Maybe they’ll add more later.

Hello,

We're sorry to hear you're disappointed with the song selection, we keep trying to improve it as much as we can but are limited in our expansion by musical rights issues.

Don't hesitate to share a list with us at this address : hello@jamzone.com

We'll see what we can bring ;)

Have a great day and thanks again for sharing your feedback!
