"As a music student at a conservatory, iReal Pro is non-negotiable for my daily practice. The automatic tempo increase and loop features are perfect for mastering complex jazz standards, and having a tight rhythm section in my pocket makes woodshedding actually fun. It is the ultimate tool for any serious improviser."

"I have replaced all my heavy physical fake books with iReal Pro on my iPad. Being able to instantly transpose any chart for a singer or a horn player mid-gig is a total lifesaver. The forum community is incredible—I found every chart I needed in seconds. This is a professional-grade tool that every gigging musician needs."

David S., Professional Saxophonist
