PlayAlong Trumpet Reviews

This is a fantastic app! I am a trumpet teacher and this has been perfect to use with online lessons during Covid-19. My students love it! I also really like the song selections, the flexibility (change tempo, transpose, options to view note names and fingerings, etc). If you're creative you can find many effective ways to practice with this app. For instance, a student can first listen to the song a few times without playing. Then he/she can play the song and the app will listen and indicate when the correct notes have been played. The student can start practicing with the fingerings and note names being shown, but then gradually can remove those aids and just play from the notes only. As a final step, he/she can play along with the recording of the song. Of course all of this can be done first at a slower tempo and then gradually with increased tempo. I do a lot of work with my students on scales and transposition, so using the transpose feature in this app opens up a world of other possibilities for each song as well. Thank you for developing such a useful and fun app!

We have to pay for more songs.....?

Ok so the app is great and all but... you guys gave me baby songs and now your saying we have to pay if we want to get more songs?!?!? Some parents don’t want to pay for songs.....so I am very very disappointed with this....? and some of us would like to be challenged. Also this thing is tone deaf, how does a high pitched A sound like a low D???!!!??. Maybe an update guys..?

Very pleased with this app so far! I used to play brass when I was younger, but it’s been so long that I’m practically starting over from scratch. This app makes me feel semi-competent lol. Would recommend!!

Terrible app!

Awesome cat 2

I got this app, and I have to buy most of the songs!? I’m only in middle school! All these songs are too babyish and wrong! I played #f right, but the app told me I was doing it wrong! DO NOT GET THIS APP IF YOU GET FRUSTRATED VERY EASILY

This app is a whole step flat, I even checked with my piano.

Please fix

I’m giving only two stars because I will play the exact same note twice and it will say the first one is correct, but not the second one. AND THEY ARE THE EXACT SAME NOTES! But, besides that, this is and awesome app, and if they fix that bug I will definently give this 5 stars. Once again, please fix this terrible bug!!!!

Awesome!
