iPad Music / Music Education App: A.P.S. MusicMaster Pro Overview
As many of you know, I’ve recently become involved with A.P.S. Development LLC and we have just released an incredible iPad app (-soon to be for the iPhone too!) for musicians named A.P.S. MusicMaster Pro. This is an incredible app for any musician or anyone working with music and if you have an iPad, DEFINITELY worth checking out.
Because reading about A.P.S. MusicMaster Pro doesn’t really do the application justice, I’ve created a ten minute video overview / review of the program for those that would like to see it “in action”. I hope that you become as excited about this app as I am and help us to spread the word about it!
