    One of the best apps I’ve ever purchased!
    Was looking for an app to give me some backing track music so I can improve my lead playing. This app has to be one of the coolest most versatile tools I’ve ever found!! I can use any chord sequence in any style at any tempo and it even gives you one of the scales in that key! Not only will this help me to learn scales but I’ll be able to try out different chord sequences to hear what they sound like first, will help me to write songs even! This is an awesome app! Thank You for creating this app! So worth the money!! Show more

    Will not load
    This app will not download on my iPad. There should be plenty of room it said there was no space available. The app downloaded but the backing tracks will not load. Two bucks down the drain. Show more

    Noise while track is playing
    I want to give you 5 stars but while I build or play any style or backing track there’s noise. This makes it impossible to use these tracks. I love the idea and that it’s so quick and easy to use. But I can’t and won’t listen to this god awful noise. If you can get rid of the static that’s there when playing any tracks I will be glad to update my review to 5 stars. If you can’t I would like a refund as there are other apps that will fill my needs. I do like a couple of your styles but they are useless until the app is fixed . The problem sounds like clipping . Like when the mic is to hot or to much gain on the in side. I hope you fix this . Wi could tell you if it was happening before I upgraded . PLEASE FIX............ USELESS FOR RECORDING OR PLAYING BACKING TRACKS................................................................... Show more

    Lots of potential
    I like this app but it needs two fixes to become regularly usable instead of just good for certain situations. Without a count in feature, I cannot be on time in the first measure and that always taints the experience. A bigger issue is that chord changes can’t happen within a measure but it frequently does in songs. A third feature that I’d like is the ability to name progressions. Show more

    Functionality score
    I’ve got the full app and recently I’ve noticed that its not holding to any structure or form of music that’s out there, yet it was a brilliant app when I first got it and it was working. Thing is it works for any instrument, not just guitar. Show more

    No sound at all
    I got this app because I love singing! Making backtracks seamed fun. This app has no sound at all even with my volume on all they way up I would not get this app again:( Show more

    Some more user feed back would be nice
    I am a guitarist, and I think It would be helpful if the chord that was being played would be highlighted, or if there were some other visual que. other than than that, this is a nice simple practice tool. Show more

    Finally! A simple alternative to JamStudio
    I have been looking for an app like this for ages. Absolutely simple yet functional. Don’t be fooled by the simple interface. It does the job. The save option doesn’t let you type in a name but the name it chooses is good enough for me. Show more
