Pocket Jam is for musicians wanting to practice and play along with their favourite songs. Loop specific sections of songs, or change the pitch or tempo in real time. If you don't have a capo to hand — or worse, the song is in a lower tuning than you, Pocket Jam has you covered. You can change the pitch up and down — in real time — to any amount of semitones up to an octave. Looping lets you pick specific parts of the song you want to practise. Once enabled, drag the left and right handles on the play bar to set the start and end of the loop, and it'll loop between them. And when looping isn't enough, you can use the speed trainer. With a loop set up up, you can have it start each loop playing slowly, and gradually get faster after each loop. You can customise how slow it starts, and how many loops it takes to reach the full tempo. Mark specific times in a song with section markers. It'll let you jump to parts or set up loops quicker. You can add songs from your Apple Music library — streaming or downloads — or from your Files on device, and play them back in real time, or export them. Pitch adjustments and file exporting are not available when streaming from Apple Music.

Not the app letting me play the songs from file that was put in my phone keeps saying file failed
Doesn’t work
I am getting “playback error” nearly every time I try to play a song from my Apple Music library. Would love to talk with the developer about how to fix this.

Perfection for vocal practice!
As a professional vocal coach, I am often in need of the ability to change the key of a song on-the-fly to suit a student’s vocal type. For complicated, fast melodies (think: vocal riffs/runs), it can help to slow down a section of a song and study exactly what notes are being sung. That is where Pocket Jam comes in. I can simply load an MP3, change the key, and slow down the tempo with the app. It even allows me to loop the part of the song to practice, and export the song in the key and with the tempo that I need. It even includes a practice mode that will slowly increase the loop speed to challenge you to improve. Best of all, Pocket Jam works incredibly fast. I have used many key-changing apps on the App Store, and this is by FAR the best app out there for this purpose. It really is no-nonsense, and does exactly what it says on the tin. Additionally, the developer was extremely responsive to my questions when I addressed him directly regarding ways the app the could improve. If key-changing or tempo-changing is what you need, just buy this app. It is well worth it. The only caveat with the app is that it does not support Apple Music or any other streaming service. But, of course, this makes full sense as those tracks are typically copywritten. That said, it is easy enough to make an MP3 of a track and load it into Pocket Jam.

Do Not Buy II
I bought this, but cannot open any of my songs in the program for transposing. No instruction on how to get this done! Seriously, move on from this one. Waste of my $12.99!
