Great App- Please work on making function with iOS9

Great app. I use it to find notes in songs. However, it doesn't function on any of my iOS9 devices. Please fix that!!!!

Good App

I really like making my own music but, unfortunately, I don't actually know a whole lot about it. This app is really helpful for me when it comes to figuring out which notes I'm singing, and it even shows me where those notes are played on the piano, which saves me a lot of time and effort. The only thing upon which I believe could be improved is the clarity of how to use everything, because I'm fairly certain I'm not making the most of this app, but purely because I don't quite understand how to go about using it. Maybe it's just me and I'm somehow missing something that would be straightforward for another person, but I'm still confused nonetheless. Overall, it has been a good app for what I'm using it for.

nice app

This accurate note recognition through a simple interface. As a guitarist, it would be great if the note history could be stored and displayed in tab format within the app, as opposed to exporting the midi file and then manipulating with something like guitar pro.

Brilliant!

Just learning to read music and this is amazing! Love the ability to show the notes as the note names rather than as notes. I’m learning fast. It’s amazingly fast and accurate too, how does it do that? I upgraded from the free version as I wanted to see the note positions on a guitar. Thoroughly recommended!

Horrible

The notes it plays back and also detects are incorrect.
It also sounds terrible.
It's a stupid app.

Doesn't seem to work

It makes a mess of identifying both singing and whistling. I don't see a point of using it for piano. So it's no use.

confusing

not sure this app works at all. directions are confusing and i do not believe this works as advertised. wanted it for ukulele since there is not much sheet music available. I cant get it to work at all. I would be happy to retract this if we can get this to work or provide some education.

Terrible

I got this app to help me write music when I had a melody. This is probably one of the most confusing apps I've ever used, and does a very bad job of finding the correct notes. It also ignores double notes, even if you rest between them. It's one of the worst apps I've ever had to experience using.

My Dream App

Ever since I was a youngster learning music, I dreamed of an app that would allow me to hum or sing a melody and immediately show me the notes. That dream has come true with Magic Stave. If you have a modicum of ability to sing on key, you can use this app to figure out any melody you imagine.

I have fairly decent relative pitch from many years of playing music, but sometimes I just cannot figure out an interval by ear. Magic Stave to the rescue! If I can sing it on key, Magic Stave can tell me exactly what note I’m singing and I can figure out the interval from there. It can display the note position on various instruments, including guitar, AND show you the actual note name on the stave (A C note will actually appear as the letter β€œC”). This is fantastic for dummy, self-taught rock guitar players like me who only have very basic music reading ability.

As an added bonus, Magic Stave can now immediately PLAY that melody with one of several instruments along with outputting the MIDI file. You don’t have to wait to import the MIDI file to a DAW anymore (although importing the MIDI file is also a FANTASTIC feature). All around an awesome app! I’d buy this app 10 more times if I could. It’s THAT good to me.

Such a useful app

I love this app; it does the exact thing I wanted an app to do ie listen to my voice or instrument and display it on the stave. It does so much clever stuff over and above this basic function as well! I took it with me when I went to test out a concertina from ebay and it was great for checking that all buttons were in tune. I play violin to it to check my intonation. Also helps if I get a tune in my head and can't remember what it is.

Really appreciate the addition of the violin fingerboard display, but for me I would like the fingerboard to show either fret lines or finger numbers or both as otherwise from a small display it isn't obvious exactly which fingering is being shown. Maybe as an option?
Thanks for a great app.
