1. Although chord progressions are not subject to copyright we received a take down notice, and being a small independent developer we don’t have the means to fight the cause, so we decided to remove all songs from the app.
2. The “Book” part of the app name started to become limiting given all the new features of the app.
3. “Real Book” is owned by somebody else and we don’t want to cause confusion.

See above.  To find all the old iReal Book songs and many more, navigate to the iReal b forums on your device (with iReal b installed) and find the song list you wish to import. Tap on the link containing the playlist and it will be imported to your song library.
Also, iReal b for iOS has a short video tutorial on how to import songs from the Forums.

Refer to the instructions in the online manuals and the video tutorials.

We use standard chord notation. See this wikipedia article.

Feel free to post your suggestions in the iReal b Forums in the appropriate thread.

This is currently not possible.

No.  Currently there is no way for users to create their own accompaniment styles.

You can transpose the song using the built-in editor and change the undesired enharmonics manually. Refer to the instructions in the online manuals and the video tutorials on how to use the editor.

When registering, you must activate your registration via a confirmation email the forum sent you. If you did not receive this email, you are probably not registered.

• Look for the confirmation email in your spam folder;
• Try registering again;
• You can get the forum software to send you a password reminder (it can be also used to reset your password);
• Make sure you input your email address correctly

For more information refer to the Forums.

You are using the global transposition for horn players instead of the regular transposition.  See more information in the online manuals.

No.  We have no current plans to develop a Windows version of iReal b.

No.  iReal b is a Universal binary that runs on iPhone and iPad – you can run your purchased copy on as many devices as you wish as long as they are all signed in with your iTunes Store account.

No. Press the Restore Purchases button in the Store within the iReal b app on your iOS device.

No. Press the Restore Purchases button within the iReal b app store on your iOS device.

Starting from iReal b 4.1 your device will need at least iOS 4.0

When setting up or restoring an iPhone, iTunes will give you a choice to restore to a previous back-up or set up the device as a new device.  If you set it up as a new device none of your old data will be transferred over.
One solution is to restore again, but this time to the previous back-up with the old data.
Another solution is to download songs from the Forums and/or from your own back-ups.

It probably means that there have been some changes on your iTunes account since your original purchase.
Uninstalling the app and repurchasing it directly from the App Store on your device (no charge as long as you use the same iTunes account) should fix the problem. Make sure you backup your songs before uninstalling because they will be erased unless you didn’t edit or add your own songs in which case it’s easier to import the songs directly form the forums.

Yes.

No. All of your original songs and the the songs that came built into iReal Book will be in your iReal b library. Make sure you backup.

No.  iOS and Mac are two separate platforms. No app will run both platforms.  Each platform has their own app store and we currently cannot offer multi-platform discounts.

Unfortunately, there is no way to provide a license transfer between Google and Apple platforms.

iReal b for Android requires System 2.2 or higher and Armv7 architecture processor.  See list of compatible devices.

There are often problems with the Android Market that are beyond our control.
Make sure your order went though in Google Wallet.  If all seems ok, you can try deleting the app and then reinstalling it. If that doesn’t work, contact us to cancel and refund your purchase – you will need to send the purchase receipt. You can then try to make the purchase again.

Due to copyright issues the app underwent a major overhaul and was also re-named. During this time, it was also redeveloped significantly with extensive new abilities and features such that we feel the new iReal b is essentially a different and completely new app.  This process (not to mention the ongoing support, research and upgrades) involved many months of hard work and we would hope that the efforts of the Technimo team are worth something. Look at it this way – for the cost of two beers, you’ll get many years of awesome practicing.

Since the release of iReal b, the original iReal Book is no longer available on the Android Market.  Contact us with your proof of purchase and we’ll send you the app via email.
