Amazing, with a few problems.

I have used it for a good bit of time now, and it’s the best one I found. I have now started to write a few pieces on it, and it definitely deserves to be one of the most well-known music-writing apps, because it certainly is one of the best. Sadly, I encountered a few problems, like when an instrument goes high, it doesn’t make room for it, it just blends it in with the line above, or how it doesn’t have an option for notation like ‘expressivo’ or other important musical notation. Also, the only grace notes I found were ones that add the note right below it, but I haven’t looked that hard, or in a while. There’s a weird glitch that makes it so I can’t have a starting dynamic and then a crescendo or decrescendo on a whole note, it always gets rid of the first one I add when I add in the second one(If I put in the dynamic, then a crescendo or decrescendo, the dynamic disappears, and when I put in a crescendo or decrescendo and then go in to put in a dynamic, the crescendo/decrescendo disappears). The dynamics don’t work in the play through, so I can’t hear the melody over the accompaniment. I also don’t have access to my password in any way, so I can’t sign in on any other devices, so I’m stuck on my phone. These may seem like a lot, but all but the last two are pretty small issues (and minor annoyances), and all are easily fixable. I definitely recommend Maestro, and those other apps should take some notes.

Easy to use and fun to make

This game is actually really good, I’m in my first year of band so I’m not that familiar with some of the stuff but Maestro makes it easy to create good music, you can do so much cool stuff, like change the tempo and adding other instruments. Some of the sounds are a little funny. The only few things that I would improve with this app is that they should add more percussion instruments, also sometimes when I add bar lines it wants me to add rests in places I don’t want them which is annoying. Also another thing is that sometimes when you want another instrument too play the same thing as another, it says it’s lined up but when I play the music it’s off or in a completely different place than the music says. Overall, this is a really fun and cool way to create music, it’s easy to use, although I wish it didn’t have so many ads, it is still so entertaining.

Amazing

This was an absolutely amazing download, being completely free. Compared to the other apps, This is the best one because it is free.

Nice

Pretty cool and useful on mobile for making music and stuff. but help needs to be more help, because when i first got it i had no idea how to use it and took a week to learn the basics, and the Key at the start should let you custom the keys by clicking on the lines or spaces

AMAZING, DOWNLOAD!

I have never seen a free, well working music writing app like this. It is simple to use, almost completely add free, and NO subscriptions! The only ever time there is 5 second skip adds is when going into the list of songs. You don’t have to pay for basic notes, and there is so much customization! One thing I would like to say is that some functions are difficult, like right now I can’t figure out how to place another measure without adding a rest that I don’t want. But otherwise, I’d say this is the go-to app, wish I found this sooner!

Hello Golden Vanilla, a measure bar can also be drawn manually from the toolbar at the top. We hope this helps and thank you for the feedback, more functions will be added continuously. We will do our best to keep improving Maestro to write music easy.

Very good but needs a few things

This app is the best app to make sheet music on mobile in my opinion, but there are two things that I feel that need to be added. I think an export option for midi or MuseScore is very necessary, and along with the MuseScore feature you would need to have a left and right hand bar line so the sheet music can be imported and accurate

Love it!

Hi, I absolutely love this app, I used it for various reason, but mostly making my own tune for my YouTube video. For now I find it very useful and user friendly, I love that I can also use my Apple Pencil on my iPad.
Would absolutely love an advertisement-free option for a fee.

amazing! But…

Hello, im here to ask why, or how to create septuplets. I’m tried to but it wouldn’t work. Now, my song doesn’t line up and is a whole mess. Please add septuplets or at least show me how make them because it would really help me! Thank you!

Response from developer

Hello Noah, Supporting more tuplet options is on our future development plan. We can't guarantee the exact timeline as there are some prior things to look into but we will eventually get there. We will do our best to keep improving Maestro.

Very good

I got this app because it was completely free, and my expectations were surpassed by a long shot. The only thing I wish there was is a tutorial for when you first get the app. I spent around 2-3 minutes trying to figure out how to use the app. But other than that, it’s a very good app, the the best app I have used to make music. Overall, 10/10.

Something weird is happening

I downloaded this app a few months ago and loved it! I love composing music and this app is almost perfect. You can use just about any virtual instrument! I used the app almost every day until something weird happened.
I was adding to one of my music compositions and my iPad started playing weird music that sounded to me like either a tropical beach music, or an advertisement for a game for my iPad. I checked my iPad and I wasn’t listening to any music like that. Then I started closing my apps. And when I closed “Maestro,” the weird music stopped. I opened the app again and went back to composing. I used the “playback” option (its a really helpful feature) and in the middle of my composition, the weird music started again. I still haven’t figured out what to do.
But other than that weird glitch, the app is amazing! I would definitely download it!

Hello fatrabbit916.lily, hmmm, there shouldn't be anything playing in the background, even the ads. We will also investigate further on this. We will do our best to keep improving Maestro. Thank you.
