Keyboard accompany app needed

[SteveK]

I've taken a look in the Android app store, but can't really find what I need.

I'm looking for a simple "play along" app: Just tap in the chords, select keyboard type, set tempo, repeat, and off we go.

All the apps I've tried seem more about teaching piano and are overly complicated.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Cheers.

I have had iReal Pro on my phone for umpty years now, it is not free, but costs less than what most people would happily spend on a night out.
Has a huge library of songs you can download, and you can also input your own songs. It has selections for style, key and tempo, you can turn on and off instruments etc.
What's not to like?

Thanks alibabu,

I'll take a look at that, although It does sound a little more complex than I need.

I use an app called Chordbot Lite. Allows you to plug in chords, time sigs, tempo, basic instruments etc. Pretty basic but good for practice.

Thanks Bix. That looks to be the kind of thing I'm after. I've installed it on my phone, I'll give it a go for a day or two, If it fulfils my needs I may pay the £4.99 for the full version😉.

Cheers.

Just to update:

I tried the Chordbot Lite app yesterday evening, it's exactly what I needed. I've now paid the £4.99 for the full featured version. Thanks again, Bix.

ChordBot is great and if anyone is looking for a really dead simple web based app to do something similar, Chord Player, here https://www.onemotion.com is fun, I also like the Drum Machine app, especially if you click the Visualise mode. My younger (and older actually) students find it strangely mesmerising! 

 

For a more detailed web based app, HookPad is brilliant for theory as well as song writing.

Band in a Box was popular (and perhaps still is), if anyone needs something more adaptable. https://www.pgmusic.com/

 

Hardware solutions might include the Yamaha QY series  - I had a Yamaha QY700.
