    iReal book and subsequently, iReal b initially did not have a built-in player. I suspect the app was initially designed as an electronic (and transposing!) version Pocket Changes, a small format, spiral-bound, chords-only fake-booklet popular with bassists.
    Still available:

    The player feature was added later and (I believe) was intended for practice use.
    I think the first mention of performance use of the player wasn't until April, 2010
