User Reviews

The Feel Book is praised for authentic real-musician play-alongs with superb sound and a strong rhythm section. It excels as a practice tool with isolation, looping, tempo/pitch control, and transposition, plus educational tune histories. The main drawbacks are a presently limited library and ongoing questions about subscription value unless more tunes are added.
Pros
  • Real musicians on the tracks provide an authentic, world-class jazz feel.
  • High-quality audio and a tight, swingy rhythm section that sounds like a live NYC gig.
  • Excellent practice features: loop sections, isolate drums/bass/piano, adjust tempo and pitch, and transpose tunes.
  • Rich educational content: tune histories, chord changes explanations, and substitutions that explain why changes are used.
  • Growing, well-curated library with ongoing updates from top NYC players.
Cons
  • Library is currently small/limited; only a subset of tunes available (around 48 tunes cited), with a desire for more content.
  • Pricing/value concerns: subscription is worthwhile mainly if the library continues to expand; some reviewers feel the price is high without sufficient content or a trial.

I’ve tried a bunch of jazz play-along apps over the years, and this one is on a whole different level. The biggest thing for me is just how good it sounds. The rhythm sections are absolutely on fire. Instead of feeling like you’re practicing with a backing track, it feels like you’re playing with a real band that’s actually making music. It’s honestly made me want to practice more. I’ll open it up planning to play for 20 minutes and an hour later I’m still going because it’s just so much fun. Another thing I love is that they’re always adding new tunes. It feels like getting little surprise gifts every week because you never know what’s going to show up next. Every time I open the app there’s a chance there’s something new to dig into, and that keeps everything fresh. If you’re into jazz and want something that’s actually inspiring to play with instead of just functional, definitely check this out. It’s become one of my favorite practice tools.

This apps inability to hide playback position will be a crutch for musicians actually working towards playing with real musicians. Sounds great, but does not help you learn to keep the form. IReal you can have it only show the top of form. This way you can think where the top is and compare to reality. Vs having your hand held to entire time. This is a core feature for backing track apps will happily update review when fixed.
