Andante - Practice Journal

Probably one of my first few reviews on the App Store. This is exactly what I was looking for and I found it. Before this app, I would be telling myself that I’m practising all these hours but I would be wrong. Focused practice would be about 25-50 percent of my entire sessions! And I found this by tracking my practice and pausing a session as soon as I would be distracted, only to resume when my focus is back. The data I analysed after a month was a eye opener and really helped me to control my sessions with a lot more awareness. I bought the full version within a day of using the app (very reasonable one-time investment) since I practice multiple instruments. It tracks mood and focus as well and lets you take notes for each session and let’s you journal when you need to. The interface is simple and intuitive and the colours are nice and subtle on the eyes. Works both on iPhone and iPad very well. Best thing is, any serious student of music can use this in their own way and really take their sessions to the next level. If the goal is to practice thousands of hours over many years, consistently trying to level up pure practice time within today’s world full of distractions, this app is a game changing companion. It is one of my favourite daily use apps, and helps me mindfully progress everyday! I thank the developers and highly recommend this to any serious student. Please keep up the support for this app, personally I see myself using it for years to come!!

This app is absolutely amazing. I love being able to track my practice time and have a visual for what my weeks and months have looked like.

Excellent app!

Perfectly designed. App has all the features you want without the fluff you don’t need. Smooth workflow and plenty of space for notes. Pro version is a one time purchase ($9) which is more than worth it.

I downloaded this app as a band student learning the flute it was helpful and simple to novitiate. I wish that there was a way to set goals so that you can see what you’ve accomplished. Also to do a lot of things you need preminum which I don’t have so that’s annoying.

Superior app

I am absolutely loving this app! I only downloaded it two days ago but it’s increased my practice time and focus significantly. It’s very user friendly, and has great features. For example, you can export your logs to share with your vocal and/or instrument coach/teacher.

It’s so obvious— this app is made by a musician for musicians. This is all I wanted in a practice app and more. Gotta go keep practicing. Anyway, download this.

I’ve been in a long drought of practicing and this app has really helped. I’m only on the fourth day so we’ll have to see how long it continues but so far I really like the gentle pressure it puts on me to get to the piano every day.

Simply the best practice app currently out. Very simple and useful.
