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.
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Must have.

If you’re serious about playing changes and standards, or jamming over grooves, or basically anything to do with performing in a band, this is a must have app. When I was learning to play I spent hundreds of dollars on stuff that was no where near as good as this. Times have changed. Just buy it and start practicing.
The word "Brilliant" is an understatement!!!!

Downloaded this on the recommendation from someone on a Gypsy Jazz FaceBook group and was immediately blown away. So easy, so simple and yet so powerful. Within 5 min from within the app I found on the apps forums exactly the charts for the songs I wanted to jam with, downloaded them into the app and was up and working on my solos to those tunes with full bass and piano back tracks. The feel and tempo are spot on for that style. Didn't expect for it to be this good. Incredible!
IReal Pro Is The Greatest Practice Tool!

I recently bought IReal Pro after years of trying other methods. For me, it's a fantastic practice tool in every way. The huge number of great jazz Real Book standards available is a wonderful library for practice in every key, no matter what methods or instrument you use. Add to this the blues and pop and country and other tunes available---plus the Forum where you can download hundreds of other tunes and practice routines---- IReal Pro is an essential practice tool for any serious musician.

excellent - ridiculously inexpensive (I spent a fortune on Band in a Box in the past) - get the additional blues accompaniment package - enjoy !David Cardey - Quebec City
- Greatly improved transposition: chords are spelled the way a musician would write them in the new key, following the key signature and the chords around them, so transposed charts are much easier to read
- The improved spelling applies everywhere the app changes key: Transpose, Transposition for Wind Instruments, Practice Transposition, and Set and Transpose in the editor
- The chord editor accepts Fb, E# and B# as chord roots and bass notes
- The accompaniment holds a chord while only its bass note changes, so a bar like C-7 C-7/Bb, or a bass line written with the invisible chord root, plays as one chord over a moving bass, the way a rhythm section reads it
- Type emojis in song titles, composer names and styles. Staff text and chords leave them out to keep the chart intact.
- Search in Japanese: a title matches whether you type hiragana or katakana, full-width or half-width characters, and with or without the ・ between the words
- Search in Korean: type only the initial consonants (ㅅㄹ finds 사랑), and a title stays in the results while you are still finishing a syllable
- Search in Chinese: type pinyin, in full or just the initials (yueliang or yl finds 月亮), and Traditional and Simplified titles find each other
- Search ignores curly apostrophes, so a title saved as L’été is found by typing l'ete
- Songs you open move to the top of Last Viewed, including songs you open from Last Viewed itself. Songs you arrow past stay where they are.
- Fixed audio exports and recordings saving as .mp4 instead of .m4a
- Improved audio export times
