JustPractice for Android
I really like the planning features but I would like to be able to enter practice times manually or be able to turn off my screen while the timer is running.
I like it. But I want there to be updates to improve it :)
Useless, really made no sense to use, I couldn't seem to select more than one piece to practice a day and it was not not intuitive to use at all. Unimpressed.
It froze really
I'm just grateful that there's an app like this out there. I've tried other similar apps (can't remember names now) but this is the best IMO. I can think of a ton of fixes and additional functionality but I'm sure the dev has too. Dev, I'll add that fifth star when you do...
If more of then bugs would get fixed as well as adding in something that tells you how much time you have put in over all it would an amazing app
I've been using this app everday for almost 2 years! I've always logged my practice sessions & being able to do it on my phone with a built-in timer & metronome is amazing & fun. As others have mentioned it does crash a lot, and I wish I could edit pieces & delete ones I'm no longer working on. But still I have to give it 5 stars. I hope it just keeps getting better. Thanks for a great app!

After setting up this app, practice is more efficient and better organized. It keeps me on top of my work load for the symphony and personal work. Great tools for busy musicians.

I've found it improve my practice sessions a lot better but it is a little annoying that I can't change the name of the pieces. It also would be nice if there can be a way to added multiple movement works fast.
Thank you for this app. Definitely useful by helping me plan my practice and track my progress. One suggestion would be a multi device sync to easily input information on my computer that will auto sync with my phone. With that update i will then give the full 5 stars!!! In addition, wish there was a way to keep track of previous recordings to hear progress for each practice session.
Like another reviewer said, it won't multi-task, which is incredibly annoying when receiving a phone call: not only is one unable to save the amount of time accrued before the phone call, the app becomes inoperable and crashes when exiting.
As a music director at a large church I find this application indispensable for my practice time. It's really 3 applications in one. I love it.
It always crashes when I get a message or close it which is so annoying! It'd be fantastic if it worked :) please fix asap!
The metronome and the recorder is really good.

I have been using this app to track my cello practicing for nearly a year and have found it incredibly helpful! I am looking for a similar app to track my piano practice, but have been unable to find anything as good. I also sing and conduct, and it would be ideal to keep track of everything on one app. If you update it, could you please add categories to track different instruments separately? Thanks!
It's a great app. It would have been nice to be able to delete the 'pieces'. Pretty annoying to have a piece called '.' and other. Otherwise it's great
Absolutely fantastic and simple. I have two wishes, one is that we could have the timer the iphone guys have. The second would be to be able to record with the metronome! And also fixing some of the other metronome issues. Otherwise great app. Have had the DROID x for two years and this is the first app i've ever rated :)
I think this app is wonderful! It helps to plan and keep track out things i need to practice. As others have said multitasking would be great. Also the recording doesn't work well the audio cut in and out when playing back. This would be drive stars easy with those. Great stuff !
This app is FANTASTIC! Love it. So easy to use. One thing that would make this TREMENDOUSLY useful would be to also include a section on musicianship as well. These tend not to be composer specific, but it would be great to have a section to build in "musicianship" work as well. Enjoying this very much! Also would LOVE to have a WEB option to enter in practice goals that would sync with the app. Sometimes I'd like to put everything into a web interface, and plan my sessions that way.
This is the closest I have been able to find to what I wanted in a practice log on Android. It just doesn't feel quite "done" yet. As other reviewers have mentioned, it has a tendency to lock up often. Especially when mutli-tasking. The timer is useless if you ever open another app while it is running. It would also be nice to be able to enter in times directly instead of having to rely on the timer (I don't always have my tablet around when I am practicing). The ability to enter my own names for practice/repetoir pieces is great, and I love the ability to add notes to a practice session. I hope the developer continues to make improvements to this app!
It has potential, but still missing a couple of things. Just as other people have said, you can't multitask. My sheet music is on the same tablet as this app, and I can't use it if I want to access my music. Also, there is a spot to add a note to your practice session, but where is it? I can't find that note anywhere, so what's the point? I emailed the developer, but since this app hasn't been updated in 20 months, so.....
It will freeze and stop with almost any of the following conditions: - new messages arrives -> crashes - you open something else -> crashes - sometimes just by pausing it -> crashes - someone calls you -> crashes

If the phone rings while practicing, the timer stops, ideally it should pause and let you resume. Organizing a by sessions would be nice also. Great app, better than the $5 one I bought.
