Cool app
Really cool appcool voice checking app
Bare bones, NO way to save anything
Super simple note/chord entry. No way to save ANYTHING, not even Grand staff template. What possible use is writing music if you can’t save or export?Canoesailor
Really just awful. Don’t waste your money.
Wish I’d read the reviews before I purchased it. Can’t play notes as they’re being composed. Can’t undo. Can’t start playing my song from various places in the composition. This could have been so much better but the developer of the app is just plain lazy and trying to make a few bucks. Glad it wasn’t too expensive but even for really cheap, it’s over-priced.Show lessBobkenken

We're happy to announce that we've released version 3.0 of Prelude, where we've rewrite the entire app. We listened to the opinions of many people, including you, to understand what we needed to improve. We would like to invite you to try Prelude 3.0 and give us your feedback again.Frustrating
Firstly, you can not specify the key of the piece, adding anything before the time signature. If you require a paid version even for this, I am not interested. Secondly, the tails of the eighth notes if written high, are back to front, as if a kid had drawn them. Not for musicians.Qalina

Be aware that you don’t hear what you have composed unless you pay. Bit useless really. Hearing at least a few bars in the free version would have been betterSpikery
terrible
I tried making a song and putting accidentals onto it, it won't, not only that, but it won't play for me UNLESS you get the full version which is 3$?!?! WHAT A RIPOFFTiffanyhuang2003
Don't waste your time and/or money!
I tried entering a simple melody and the playback plays note duration based on position in the score, not on duration of the note. For example, placing a half note immediately next to a quarter note plays back as a quarter then half note. Placing notes is difficult to do right the first time - you'll end up moving notes to their correct position after initial placement. I could not find how to start a song with a pickup note so my first 6/8 measure has 7 beats rest before beginning. This is a poor editor, even for a handheld device!Show lessslars
DO NOT GET THIS APP!!!!
It is not at all user friendly, takes forever to learn how to use, and in order to playback requires a £4 purchase that doesn't carry over key signature. Some parts just don't work, like sharps or flats, by which point I had given up. This app is broken, and a complete waste of your time, extremely unimpressed, fix ASAP.Show lessAn unimpressed musician
Not good
Has great potential, but seems like it's just not thought out at all.NicJJ
Useless.
I downloaded this app planning to write music for multiple instruments together, piano, and clarinet, but I'm unable to change it from having only two staffs. The app won't beam the quavers and whenever I try to put in a sharp key signature, it's one below where it's supposed to be. I'll never have the need to write a song in a mysterious key with only a G# and a D#. The accidentals take up a ridiculous amount of room, and the measure isn't large enough to hold eight quavers, it will only hold seven. I couldn't find a way to adjust it. I can't use this.Show lessBrigade_chief
