What I hoped

Exactly what I needed to compliment Suggester for building harmonies! However, one glaring issue….. I like seeing the visual keyboard. A lot. When I select a chord from the map, it appears as expected in the voicing keyboard in the top panel. However, when I am playing a song, the chords do not appear in the voicing keyboard as the song plays. Why not? This a big miss.

I am on version 9.5 now, and it still doesn’t work. The keyboard just sits there on whatever chord you hit last on the map. The notes do not change as the song is playing.

Developer Response ,

The new 6.15.1 version with the fix is already waiting for review. Please considering updating your review once you've tried it. Thanks

Could be cool….but

I got the free Play-Along version of this app and liked it a bit more than IReal. I then paid $9.99 to download the 1300 song jazz catalog. It is for the most part a very comprehensive catalog. I then read on the app that if I bought the Pro version, I would keep all of my songs and be able to use them in the Pro version. This does not seem to be true, or it is not entirely evident how to get them to show up on the IOS version. I found this to be highly disappointing and am now considering this a waste of money! I really wanted to like this better, but the fact that I can’t access the songs that I ALREADY bought from them seems like wack. I emailed the contact information for the company and never received a response either. When I go to files on my IPad, there is no file under these two apps with songs in them???? Where are they? I could change my opinion on this I find out that there is a solution.

I also find the “information” dialogue box that pops up every time you touch practically anything on this app to be tiresome. Perhaps there is a way to make this blue box stop popping up? Also, for the most part, on the IPad, I just want to play some songs for practice and have them sound good. I appreciate that the app does some better stuff than IReal, but I don’t really see the benefit of the whole mapping visual display of the computer thinking etc. since it is really quite small and I am trying to play while the song is going along.

Some Bass Player ,

Features for iPad are not the same as listed

The features in the list are for the desktop version, not the iPad version. You can’t browse “hundreds” of standards, there is maybe a dozen and you cannot import the fake book xml files that contain others, as you can on the desktop version. So, it has interesting features but unless you want to enter a bunch of songs by hand, you are stuck with the songs and progressions that are already in the app. Kinda a drag because the accompaniment play-along ability of the app is great, way way better than iRealB, better sounds and better comping. Hopefully in the future you can import files on the iPad version and load up the xml fake book files provided by the publisher.

update as of 06/22

sooooo many bugs and inconsistencies make this program more frustrating than useful, in v8 slash chords do not work, there is no “pedal point” option when you click on the chord per the docs.

The documentation does not reflect different platforms, it talks about right clicking…on an IPad???

This program has reached Band-in-a-Box level interface crime, it’s probably only useable by the guy who wrote it, or someone that wants to devote a lot of time to figuring out how things work via trail and error. Better off getting the free player app instead for simple playback.
