Field notes
The practice planner combines a tune’s repetition schedule with a selected session length, instrument, and focus, and lets users swap or drop blocks before starting. The catalog names Real Books 1–6 and the Real Dixieland Book; users can also add or correct tunes. The site says releases install over the previous version while keeping data, which it describes as stored on the phone and backed up to a user-chosen file.
