As an amateur jazz piano player I was delighted to come across these apps – both to review basic jazz theory (Fundamentals) and to practice with them. The Playalong tracks of some of the most common chord progressions are worth having on their own since key, instrument mix and pace can all be altered and looped endlessly. Technical design is pretty basic and really could improve e.g. I had to contact support to get access to the Preferences on my Samsung Tab S since no soft button appeared; but JazzApps support responded and managed to find a work around. I look forward to moving on to the others in the series and hope development continues.
