Ratings and Reviews
Can really recommend ….
Quartet 1 was recommended to me and, having tried it out for a couple of weeks now, I can really recommend this app to anyone who wants to improve their playing of the jazz classics or for live work. There are a whopping 150 standards in this app, so plenty to choose from! As a pianist, I like the playlist function, this will be useful for grouping certain songs together depending on the venue/audience/mood. A few of my favourites aren’t in this app, but hopefully they will be in a future release. Quartet 2?
Great app
I concur with all the positive reviews here. This app is a super useful tool. BUT it is full of itritating bugs. This don’t mean it isn’t fundamentally all sorts of great, as the positive reviews assert. It’s just that it a much less smooth experience than it need be - especially when using it day in day out as the centrepiece of a practice routine.
It’s particularly the playlist feature that irritates me. It often crashes when making a change and it doesn’t always remember the key/tempo etc. from the last session as it claims to do.
After such bugs are (hopefully) fixed, I’d love to see a cloud-based sync feature added so that state you build up (e.g. playlist stuff) on, say, your iPad is automatically transferred over to your phone. The iReal Pro does this and I love that about it.
But, zooming out again, and putting quibbles aside, I really do appreciate this app - if you’e interesting in improving your jazz playing you should just get it!
A gem for improving your improvising
Real players feature in this app with a host of different mixes available for ‘music minus one’ type practicing. Tempo & keys are all able to be changed and work well within about 4 semitones / 30 bpm or so of the original played key. Sections can be looped for practicing tricky passages, and there are even solos for students to transcribe and practice along with. The standard of playing is excellent, a well thought out and executed app. Get practicing!
