  • Not enough selectable instruments

    You may not know what I mean by the title, here’s what I mean. The maximum amount of instruments you can put in one song is 16, for level 6 or advanced songs have a lot more instruments added in them. I tried downloading and adding a song into the app but it didn’t work. I’d like you to add more than 16 instruments in one song. Keep up the good work with your app!

  • More suggestions!

    Please incorporate the dynamics in the songs, such as slurring the notes when there is slur, or the notes increasing in volume when there is a crescendo. Also some of the woodwind instruments like Bassoon or Oboe are so quiet when played next to other instruments, please fix! The screen of this app freezes and turns grey when an ad ends. The starting screen freezes sometimes. The viola’s high notes are a little weird. Slurring more than three notes does not slur them but slurring two does.

  • Stopped working properly

    I have been enjoying this app on my iPhone and iPad for almost a year. I frequently write music on my iPad, and then air drop it to my iPhone. After the latest IOS update, I have been unable to air drop my MIDI files from one device to another. When airdropping from iPad to iPhone, it automatically tries to open the MIDI file in iMovie and I get an error message. I deleted iMovie, but now when I try to airdrop sheet music/MIDI files from iPad to iPhone, it gives me two options: store the file in iCloud, or buying an app from the App Store in order to open it, even though I have Score Creator on both devices. I have the same problem when airdropping from iPhone to iPad; it gives me the option to open it in iMovie, or saving it to Files. I have tried deleting the apps on both devices and then downloading them again and that did not help. Both of my devices are running on IOS 13.2, and the Score Creator app is running on version 7 on both devices. Like I said, I've enjoyed using this app for a while now and haven't had any problems until now. I live in a nursing home and spend a majority of my day writing songs. It is cumbersome that I cannot transfer files from one device to another anymore. Please help.

    Sorry for the problem! The issue will be fixed soon. In the meantime, a workaround is to send the midi file (or an .sc file) to your email address from one device, then open the email on the other device, then tap the file attachment and choose "Copy to Score Creator" to import the file into the other device. Thanks!
  • Instrument problems, but great app!

    I love this app and it’s one of the best apps that I’ve seen. I love the feature where you can add in instruments but there is a slight problem with 2 of the instruments. You can’t hear the clarinet at all when other instruments are in, and you can barely hear it in solo parts. Also, all of the saxes sound horrible with other instruments, so maybe adjust the sound to have it be less annoying. If you read this, please take my review as advice. On the other hand, your app is great! Thanks!

  • Best music writing app I’ve found for iOS

    I am really enjoying this app for when I don’t have my computer to use Musescore 2 on. There is one thing that I would like to have added into the writing capability though, you can add triplets in any note timing available currently, but I would like it if you could select how many notes you could write for 1 beat or for one measure of time in the music (example: 7 16th notes for one beat). Maybe have it set up like you have the time signature selection (7 / quarter [seven notes per quarter beat]), have a scroll wheel for the left selection (how many notes) and then another for the right selection (the time period in which those notes will take place like for a whole note, dotted half note, half note, dotted quarter note, etc.) and the timing for the notes that are in that beat can be selected by just selecting the time for the notes like you usually would. I hope this makes sense and that you could add this feature without too much difficulty.

  • It’s okay

    There are very few choices of this type of app so I downloaded this one cuz it’s free. Easy enough to start creating.
    But everything on it is Very BASIC and seems for beginners only. They’re missing symbols, like repeats, and rest measures. Instead, I have to take up music space w/ the huge rest symbol.
    Makes it difficult to edit.. If I change what I’ve already put down, it’ll delete a note I wanted to keep after it. If you don’t go in order, you may not have a song at the end!

  • Great App, But Here’s A Suggestion

    I love the app! However, I think it’d be a great improvement if we were able to create folders to organize our songs. I don’t like how the songs are just listed down alphabetically. It makes it a little hard for me to find the song I need to work on since I have created numerous different songs. Having the ability to create labeled folders would make navigation to find a song much much easier and overall would keep things organized. Just an idea!

  • Add - Ins

    Hi.
    I was wondering if you guys could add dynamics? And maybe spots where you’re able to speed up and slow down? The piece I am composing would sound better if it would slow down in a certain spot. And dynamics, it would sound better along with crescendos. And a possible fade in and out option with the notes... It just doesn’t sound correct when the notes just flat out stop when it sounds better when like whole notes are to fade out instead of just straight up stop.

  • One big problem...

    So I’ve had this app for a little while and it’s amazing. The only issue is that recently when I’ve been using the keys, (like the key the song is in) it makes two instruments the same key which isn’t right. I know there is a switch for using concert pitch, but that’s not the issue. That’s one of the first things I make sure I change at the start of a new song. So, one of my current songs is in the key of B flat I believe and so B flat clarinet shouldn’t have any accidentals, but it’s showing up as the same as the C flute who has 2. I have 2 B flat trumpets and those show up perfectly fine. It’s just one or two instruments and it’s very frustrating. With this issue fixed, I’d give it 4 stars.

    One suggestion I have is adding in trills, falls, and maybe changing the way to put in staccatos, marcatos, tenuos, and stuff like that. I’ve been avoiding them in my songs because I’d prefer not to click on each and every note. Because with every note, I end up clicking 4 or 5 different things. That adds up pretty quick, especially with a song with like 50 or more. So maybe have a separate tab or button where the notes and note lengths are so they are more accessible. With these taken into account, I’d give it 5 stars.

  • Works well

    Updated - I heard from the developer today about how to upgrade to lifetime.

    I have used this app all semester for a college harmony and voice leading class. Except for the lack of a way to include figured bass, it has worked well on my iPad, which is what I take to class. Unfortunately, I do have to hand write the figured bass, which can be a problem for theory students.

    I wanted to upgrade to the lifetime app rather than manage a recurring three-month subscription but couldn’t figure out how. The developer contacted me today to help me resolve this issue.

    Hello. We didn't receive any email regarding this? Could you please check it again? If you would like to switch to the lifetime full version, first you need to cancel the three-month subscription and wait until the end of the three-month period (3 months from the last time you renewed the subscription, you still have access to the full version until the end of the period), then the lifetime full version will be visible for you to upgrade. Thank you and best regards!
