I own iRealBook for IOS (iPhone and iPad versions) and also the Mac OSX version.
I love it... absolutely wonderful!
However, there are some issues which cause me to make a request for some new features.
The number one issue for me is syncing the songs from one device to the others... especially problematic is getting the songs I do on the IOS devices onto my Mac(s).
My request is to add iCloud and Dropbox support. (especially DROPBOX!!!)
I know I can email the backup to the entire catalog from IOS to Mac but that seems like WAY overkill to get ONE song from one device to another.
Also, tonight I accidentally DELETED a song from my iPhone and it was the ONLY copy of it I had. (it was a bone head move, I know)
But it sure would have been nice to have an UNDO when I accidentally deleted that song! It's gonna take me a couple of hours to re-create that song when a simple undo function could have saved my ass.
I absolutely LOVE the 'band-in-a-box- type MIDI generation. I would LOVE to be able to create my own patterns and styles - in addition to determining the DEFAULT pattern of a blank song.
I could not find how to NEVER have a count off for a song. It seems I am forced to ALWAYS have at least ONE measure for a count off. I would like the option of NO count off - just start playing.
Lastly, it would be wonderful to provide the option for a melody line track. Yes, I know all about copyright and that hoopla that RIAA and the big boys since I've worked in that industry for over 38 years.
But a melody line OPTION would put this app (in both IOS and MAC OSX) as a absolutely essential app for ANY musician.
Just my two cents.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
Hopefully you'll consider these suggestions and offer them in a future update.
All the best to you!
