Please make this a top priority.
Paid in app feature is fine, and whatever price you want to set it at, but please just make it happen, soon!
Other than the lack of sync this app is nigh on perfect and not exaggerating to say that it has changed my musical life!

Sync, Sync, and sync again
Really, the top priority.
For me, I realPro is for musicians, playing music, not wanting the perfect melody.
Syncing, when you're playing with a group, is mandatory, every one knows what is the actual bar, knows the repeat, da segno and the final.
I can imagine a sync using bluetooth, one is master, the others are slaves.
I think that the accuracy of pad is enough to only trigger the start time, I am not looking for the 1/100 second accuracy, the drum or the bass leads the beat.
So please add this feature, even if you increase 20% the price of the app !
Thx

I use my Logitech Bluetooth keyboard's left/right, up/down cursor keys to control the iOS AirTurn functions.
My quartet shares a single iPad in performance.
Bluetooth won't pair my keyboard with more than one iPad at the same time. (I just tried) (Drat!)
I don't know if this is true for all Bluetooth devices (for instance, actual AirTurn controllers)

)BOBWell,
Everybody is asking for it, so I will too. Sync!!!
Not sure how this would work necessarily. Maybe to dropbox? Itunes on different devices is a good example, but apple has the cloud and tons of servers to make this happen. The back-ups are small data files, so if everyone's forum account could also be their account for syncing, this should be pretty doable.
What if you could only sync playlists? This way the playlist when it syncs, only adds songs, never deletes them from whatever device you are syncing too. So a key function/attribute of sync would be that it only syncs new data, never deletes old data. Then just add some functionality to the songlists on all devices so its easy to search out duplicate songs and only keep the most recent one (last edited).
I understand that its possible to do this now with some dropbox manuevering;however the problem I am running into, is that when I open my playlists on different devices, I forget which one is up to date, and likewise with songs.

Sync, sync!!! This is a fantastic program, and syncing is the top feature that the program doesn't contain. I like to edit and write tunes on my laptop, my desktop, and be able to show them on my iPhone or on my iPad. I can't keep up with what I have on each platform, and when necessary, I have to email the playlist, then I end up duplicating things that I might already have had there. Argghh! Please add syncing soon.
Hello all. Just to add my voice to all those asking for some kind of sync option. I use iReal Pro (which is wonderful, by the way) on an iPhone and on an Android tablet - for various reasons. I really need some easy and quick way of mirroring changes between the two installations, since as everyone knows, there are tiny tweaks or changes to be made to the charts at almost every rehearsal/gig, and ideally these need to be applied to every instance of your personal database. If this could be done automatically that would be fantastic, but even if that's not possible (or not for a while) there are a couple of options which would make the manual undertaking of such housekeeping a lot easier. Forgive me if these already exist, and I just haven't found them - but I have looked!
Firstly, what about some option to view - or even sort by - the last modification date of the chart? Often the problem is just trying to work out which is the most recent of two versions of the same chart - is there not some way we could check which was the most recently modified (or created)?
Secondly, when importing _please_ can we have an option which asks whether we want to replace existing charts with the same name? Preferably individually, but if not as a batch. My song list is littered with "xxxx 1" titles, and it's quite time-consuming trying to clear them all out. When I'm importing a modified version of a chart from another device, I really want it to overwrite the unmodified version. If I want to keep both versions (which happens a lot less often), then I can change the title of one of the versions myself, to something that makes sense to me.
OK. Thanks for reading, and I hope you can address these issues at some point.

I'm sure you've figured out this requirement, but syncing is two fold, which could be elegantly blended into one. There is syncing between my devices (iOS and Mac), and then syncing between my band's devices (perhaps pooling/syncing).
Take a look at BT Sync, they got this working really well. Not the world's finest UI/UX, but rock solid and very fast. Most importantly, no need for a server. Maybe they have an API or license their engine or something.
In any case, it's the feature that's begging to be implemented.

Yes. It is inherent to the bluetooth protocol.

There is an app that syncs music and does what you want I think? I wish I could remember what it was called?
The demo had an ensemble with conductor all synced up together. I think it was a subscription based app and not that cheap.
It may be unrealistic to expect that from this app.

A big +1 on this. (+10 if I can get away with it
To be clear, since there seem to be different interpretations in this thread about what this means, I am talking about the ability to have "cloud-based" playlists, such that edits to the playlist (song additions, corrections to songs, etc.) are automatically propagated to that playlist on all other user devices. "Cloud-based playlists" should also be shareable with other band members (similar to the list sharing facility in apps like Wunderlist.)
Currently, as noted elsewhere, this requires distributing each change to all devices, adding the revised playlist, and then cleaning up the duplications. Pretty tedious.
Thanks

We are working on sync for iReal Pro and based on the survey our users filled out, here are the results:

I have all these issues too. I'm not sure what Sync means
It sounded like some folks want to share songs and playlists with other people. That's what email is for.Some folks sound like they somehow want devices to sync/slave off a master device

Sync accross all devices
I have iReal Pro on iPad, Mac and iPhone. Unless I've missed it I can't see how I sync my exercises, songs and playlists across all my devices like all other apps do. Unless you use the incredibly clumsy back up and restore from one device to another which is like emailing a file to yourself
What I need is to be able to work on a song on my iPad and it be there on the Mac or iPhone without having to remember which device I used last! Or did I miss something?

Android users don't care about across device sync?
Android users are that much different than Apple users?
That's just nuts. It's really, really hard to believe.
You have 100000 downloads on the play store and 4100 reviews and you think these people don't care about the content of their playlists being the same on every device regardless of where the change was made?!?
I missed this survey but I'm not on Facebook anyway so it wouldn't be possible for me to participate either way.
I'm not that much on these forums either.
I use the app close to every single day of the year.
I've been wondering pretty much since I got the app how come the app doesn't reflect the changes made to playlists across devices.
I figured it's coming and would check every now and then only to see people asking about it in the forums.
You don't have a one single person in one single thread dealing with this feature that said "guys why do need that, it's just not that big of a deal?". Not a single one that I could see.
Now you've made this survey that doesn't even make sense the way questions are formulated and you say "oh well, there just isn't enough interest...".
How about the question "I'm on Android and I want sync".
However it is that you define "sync" as there seem to be many interpretations of similar but different enough scenarios.
But they all kinda boil down to the same issue: the way it is now, when it comes to sync the app is good for a single device only without a user's input tinkering with changes across devices.
All I can see is it takes work that the iReal team is just not willing to put in and that's disappointing.
