User Reviews: Halbestunde Sheet Music Reader

  • No bueno.

    Come on man. You had one job. I wanted an app to turn the music on the page into an actual sound that I can hear. Why is it that when I scan the page, there is either an error or the music is arbitrarily modulated into something unrecognizable? How can you mistake a pages worth of half notes as triplets and eighth notes? This app can’t even read tuba music! This makes me very sad.
  • Useless if you can’t get past step 1

    I was excited to practice with this app. But no matter what sheet music I scan I get an error that it isn’t recognized. I would have subscribed if it had worked. It would be nice if there was some kind of help - tips on why a scan might fail and how to correct or guidance on what type of music it will recognize. Or a link to email for assistance. My sheet music was flat and clean with no pencil markings or smudges.

    Hey, we are sorry to hear that, and this should not been happening. Could you may share at tiberius.treppner@halbestunde.com which sheet music you are using? We are also working on a new Update with a way better scan Algorithm. Best Tiberius
  • App loaded fine, but doesn’t log in, doesn’t add files

    This app doesn’t offer any trial opportunity, so I read reviews and went ahead with my yearly subscription booking just 10min ago.

    Strangely enough, it was offered prior sign in, which I should have taken as a warning that something is not right.

    After booking, I tried signup, for the verification code email never arrived, tried skipping option and uploading PDFs - error message pops up, saying cannot upload pages.

    I would like a full refund, since I am not able to use it on my first hour of purchase.

  • Couldn’t read sheets

    gave errors to every scan
  • Great apple

    Is good
  • DO NOT DOWNLOAD

    This app is awful, don’t download it. It doesn’t work if you try to scan music it just shows an error. You can’t restore your purchases either. Don’t buy.

  • It Doesn’t Work

    I tried I don’t know how many pieces of sheet music and it keeps giving me the same error over and over again, I’ve deleted and reinstalled a number of times and still nothing. Please show me what I’m doing wrong.
  • Full-featured graphics app, not just logos

    Love this app to make images for social media. You start with the size you want and add backgrounds, effects, graphic elements, photos, and text. There are many choices in the free version so you can accomplish a lot without paying for a subscription. I hope they keep it that way!
  • Works Well!

    I found this through AppAdvice. This is an amazing idea and it works much better than I expected!a

    Ideas:

    — I would like to see support for screenshots too. Lots of people play from their iPhones and iPads in addition to hard copies of sheet music.-

    — I wish it had an option for visuals representations of what’s being played on a piano when a person is having trouble working it out by ear.

    — I’d also love to see support for guitar tablature! I’d personally prefer an all in one app that can do both, but this would be super useful even as its own app.

    — It would also be super helpful if this app could transcribe screenshots from piano/guitar learning apps like Yousician (piano/guitar) or Ultimate Guitar’s Tabs and convert their gamified versions and bad looking versions into real sheet music and tabs that can be easily read and followed.

    For what it does, it’s an amazing app and I hope to see the above added in the future!
