Don’t try to slur V1 notes to V2 Notes!!!. It’s a good app but I was composing recently and I created a corrupted file by slurring v1 notes to v2 notes, now the app crashes when I try to access that page of my music. Also, looking forward to a better lyric engine in an update. Otherwise, very enjoyable, intuitive app.

very good. dope

Frustrating. Just trying to write a simple duet for clarinet of just eighth notes and half notes took me 30 minutes to write one phrase. I can write out a full song in that amount of time. Something as simple as notation shouldn’t have such a strong learning curve and require so many adjustments for a simple staccato or slur.

Very Good. I love this app because I love messing around and creating new music easily. The only thing I wish they had was to put a drum machine in there so you can out a beat to your creation

It is missing some stuff. It is very useful, but it is missing some symbols like ripes, glisses, forte piano, etc

Good. I’m just doing this to unlock somthin so..

No sound on playback. I cannot hear what I've composed. Do I have to wear headphones? Very confused.

Amazing. It's amazing

Rating so far so good. So far so good

Good app. So far, I've used this app to compose a couple, pretty short, simple songs, but it's very useful. I used to use a DAW for everything; but, well, I find Sheet Music to be a lot better, even if the instrument quality is a little low. That's why I have the daw, though. Just dislike that you have to rate it five stars to unlock a couple features. Builds distrust with possible buyers; I was almost not gonna buy it because of what I saw in the reviews. However despite the shady tactics, this app is still great. As all apps, however, there are a couple issues: 1: I can't seem to move midi tracks into Notation Pad, and trying to put the notes itself in, manually, is time consuming, as well as confusing, since I'm not exactly practiced enough. 2: Where are the drums and the cymbals? That's an incredibly important part of music. 3: A search engine for the discover music category. Would love to find some pieces there, but searching endlessly isn't very interesting.

Pretty good. Easy to use

Did they forget about percussion?. My biggest problem with this app is that there is no option to write percussion music (no snare, bass, suspended symbols, crash symbols, marching percussion, rolls, flams, measure repeats, multi measure rests, paradiddles, etc.)

E. It told me to rate five stars so I could get different color backgrounds. Take of that what you will.

Can’t import music xml.. How do I import music xml? I purchased this app because the description said you can import music xml. I cannot figure out how to do that and have not found anything about importing in the tutorial. Please explain.

Excellent! But could be fine tuned in places. This app satisfies most of my compositional needs. It has a great diversity of instrumentation and they sound accurate. There is a great learning curve, and I have emailed the support address with questions but have yet to receive a reply. It’s been about 2 months now. Although the lack of user support is irritating, the user interface is much more friendly than piano plus pro, another app by the same creator, so I have not delved into that app very deeply. I bought the bundle but have yet to need piano plus pro. One place needing fine tuning: Time signatures are not easily changed when you have already composed music after the measure you want to change. It changes the whole remainder of the measures. One way around this, i change the measure to one 8th note increase (e.g. 4/4 to 9/8) and then change the measures after back to 4/4. This keeps the measure I adjusted in 9/8 and I can change it to whatever I want after that. Annoying and would rather not have to do that. Another place needing fine tuning is reaching the upper extremity of the piccolo register. It stops about five notes short when you have the more than two parts in there (it thinks you’re trying to add to the part above it) Otherwise 9/10 would recommend

Great tool. I use this just for fun although there are some rhythmical errors I still enjoy this app

Superb. Look up

Maddening!. I’ve just paid more than $20 and I still cannot write lyrics and import anything. All the features I paid for are not here. The developer website is empty and there iszero app support.

Love it!. Great app

‘‘Twas Gucci. I thought it was good

Made me rate to change background. That is wack good service though

Blackmail and direct links to the developer's other apps.. Sprinkled throughout the UI are links to the developer's other apps, which seems a bit cheeky considering this app is $20. Want to change the background color? You can, but only if you rate this $20 app as five stars. This seems extremely shady on the part of the developer. Avoid this app and save yourself the $20.

ugh yuck. promises importing, doesn’t recognize .xml .mid or anything... no way to add lyrics to be found...

Yes. Yes

123_goldr. Awesome

Gg. Gg

My comment about notation pad (full). You have to pay ten bucks to jet full. Ridiculous. App works great. No bugs. Cheaper price for full and app will be perfect for me.

I really dislike writing inflated reviews. Three stars is really generous, but I really should have given it two, because of a few factors: it promised to allow imports of existing electronic files of sheet music, but I don't see it at all... Maybe it might be because I might have missed it, or it is reliant on five star reviews- if the latter is the case, it is really dirty.

Well, to unblock some features. To unblock some features it’s mandatory to be 5 stars, interesting.

Pretty Cool. Good for making music and stuff

Incredible. Awesome....... I love it

Seems to work just fine. Easy to use

I love this app!. This app is great for hobby composers who enjoy writing on the go!

It’s Perfect but.... Personally it could use some more functions, like 8/15va, the petals, gliss, and Actually percussion (like a drumset). How do you import files? (Unless it’s not a function yet) And being able to support more parts (Orchestra). Other than that it would be perfect.

The app Is helpful but. Is there a way to make the notes swung? I’m trying to make jazz music

Great app. It’s a great app, but there is no cut time or chant option for time signature.

idk. i really don't know cuz it said to write a review before i really got to using it ..... but for an expensive price i'm hoping it will be worth it

Chords?. How do you enter chords? This app is worthless without having that feature.

Not as advertised.. Be very careful purchasing from this developer. This app has limited functionality. I purchased it to write tablature for Guitar. The description led me to believe that it would do this. Not so. In order to write guitar tablature, the app directs me back to the App Store to purchase yet another app from this same developer. When I requested a refund, the App Store turned me down, referring me to the developer’s site for help. The developer’s site has nowhere to contact the developer, request help, request a refund, etc. If you want to waste $20, this seems like a good place to do it. And shame on the App Store for allowing this type of deceptive advertising, then refusing to help resolve the dispute. I can only hope the developer reads this and contacts me to make this right.

Please cancel my monthly payments for the pad pro. This notation pro doesn’t have the function I need. Please cancel the monthly payment $7.99. And I have no idea how to cancel this plan. I can’t find anything of it.

Add measure repeat sign please!!. !!!!

I need to unlock the background color. I bet that this is a good app. Besides, I paid full price for it.

Something is missing!. The app is awesome but something is missing... Pedals For Piano! Please add this!

So far, so good!. As music teacher and performing musician, this app is perfect for original arrangements on the go, as well as for analysis! Love it!

???. Can be hard to understand how to use but otherwise it’s great!

Forced review. It’s ok so far.

Good, but..... You can’t write polyrhythms, quintuplets etc.... very annoying, would be an amazing app if they added that.

Unlock. Had to rate for background colors

Rating Just to Change Colour. Why though?

Difficult to understand.. I got this app so that I could create music without actually having to know how to play an instrument. Unfortunately, I cannot hear any music when I press play, so that’s about $20 down the drain. I’m not sure if this is due to a bug, but if not this is a very expensive app just to create sheet music without any music. Not to mention, I don’t see anything about exporting your music. So that’s also a bummer.

Almost there. Could be better... ability to create templates for commonly used settings Not sure about the sharing options. I placed scores in my iCloud but have no idea how to access them once saved there

Needs to be improved. 1. How do you remove unnecessary bars? 2. And why cant I put any texts such as ritardando? 3. When you copy and paste the melody of an instrument, why does it keep selecting the whole instruments parts as well? 4. How do you delete old composition? (Theres no delete button) 5. What does "L" mean?

Good app. This is good!

Terrible!. I bought notation pro with over $20. But When I use this app, all icons are linked with other apps which I must pay extra money per month regularly... This app is trick. I just want to make music notation with this app but I can’t do it without other extra apps... I really want to refund this app... If I fully use this app, I have to pay over $70 because I have to buy other apps as a pack.

Good App. It’s a good app but the is a small glitch. When I tried to tie to notes in different measures (but are beside each other), it removes it when I leave the song or edit anything else. PLEASE FIX IT!

pretty great app. works decently, just make it easier to send to others and save

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Has Bugs. After I had written one measure, I then went to the setting to change the temp from 120 to 60. When I returned to the score my notes pattern had been altered. PLEASE FIX THIS! I don't to waste my time writing an entire score only to have it altered. The undo does not work in this case!! I am glad I tested this first.

Notation Pad- My Scores. I paid $14.99 for this AP and still have to suffer through advertisements. Boo!

Bom. Ainda tô começando a usar. Mais não gostei do problema em colocar as tercinas. Consertem isso dou 5 estrelas.

Could be better. Playback doesn't work, it is very hard to use and not intuitive.

Amazing. This is the first app I've seen that can right music this well and play it just as good! The full version is so worth it.

Request for more articulation tools. This app doesn't seem to allow us to put words such as rit., allegro, accel., a tempo, sfz, etc., which would limit the ability to express the emotion of the music. Can you please add these features? Thanks!

yyyyy. 你拿本宝宝给他打电话了。你们是谁在这是个好日子！

Quid Pro Quo. Stars for features.....or.....features for stars? Either way, we all have a price. I'll happily trade my integrity for the ability to choose a different background color from the AMAZING selection of SIX varying shades of white, grey AND brown!! Not to mention the fact that having already paid the inflated price of $24.99 to use the "Pro" features while avoiding the $6.99 per week subscription plan should've also afforded me the luxury of customizing my screen without having to prostitute my App Store stars for the option. All of this before I've even finished a single page of composition. Also, also, paying the requisite $24.99 to unlock the pro features does not remove the apps propensity to misdirect you back to the App Store to purchase one of their other apps that will perform the feature you're looking for....

Poor UX. The first thing it asked me to do was to rate the app - I couldn't even get started. I don't know what this app is like and like having to rate it before I use my full paid version even less. If I purchase a product, the vendor does not tell me to give more of my time before I use it.

.. bkgd color

Very Good!. This is a fun, simple, and quick way to jot down your musical ideas. Four stars now but I will give it five stars when we are able to increase and control the chord font size and placement. Also, please add tempo and 1st and 2nd repeats. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to your updates, thank you.

Fantastic Game but. It's very frustrating to use sometimes

More options?. I am a amateur composer who finds this app and its ability a highly effective tool, however. I feel like it needs more options and styles available. For instance, grace notes, the ability to have more than just triplets octaves. Tenor cleft. I love the features of this app, but I am limited to the amount of options available. I recommend viewing Sibelius 7 for ideas and to the extent of musical content. If you were to expand this app to that degree, it would be worth the money, and I'm confident I would be a habitual user of this app, along with the other aspiring musicians out there, not to mention you would gain your money back due to the high quality that would be present as it is now.

Could be better. Add a drum set or non-staff percussion (snare, bass drum) and add more staff I wish I could do full band stuff, but besides that it's a great foundation for a great app

Very fun to use. I love the app. It is very fun, but it doesn't have all the music stuff. 1. It is very difficult to have 2 triplets in a measure. 2. You can't get notes the low notes on the piano. It is very aggravating 3. Very fun, though

Ha. For bkrd

Improved Execution. First, let me say I love being able to create sheet music on the iPad. I was ecstatic to play around with the app when I bought it a month ago. I love the improvements on notes being able to be raised/lowered without needing to delete them first. The export function for PDF and image files work great, but I haven't tried the others. I really wish it had an import function... Also, I haven't found a search or sorting method that I can detect. Songs are presented in the order you add them.

Amazing. I recently got rid of my MacBook which had all of my music notation software on it. I tried a lot of things in the App Store on my iPad and this is the best.

Great but could use improvement.. This app is very impressive and easy to use. But it has the potential to be even better. There is still some musical notation that is missing. (Sixtuplets?) why can't I put 2 half not triplets In one measure?

..... ....

Cool idea but needs some help. Would love to not be confined by the app's idea of what can occur in a measure based on time signature. Also, not able to have different types of notes at the same time, like a half note played with one finger while another finger of the same hand plays a quarter note. Very limited for $15. :/ Please reduce limitations so the app can be more effective!
