Leave a Review MuseScore
Would be good if I could actually see my section.
I love music. I’ve been playing the violin for as long as I can remember. It has always been easy to find my songs for violin. A couple years ago, I switched to the double bass. Now, i can barely find any popular songs that are readily available. (without purchase because i’m broke 😝) Musescore has been good to me, until i go to the larger peices. I’m talking the scores that have +12 parts in them. The whole point of having a zoom in and out feature is so you can see the whole score in at least decent quality. But on Musescore (for some apparent reason) they decided “Oh, let’s screw over the lower sections and let them not be able to see their parts hahahaha.” Which, for me, I take as a personal attack because i’m a proud member of my section and I don’t take disrespect lightly. At least make a *FREE* (did i mention it needed to be FREE??) feature to where you can section off parts so you can actually see them. Honestly, these people are just here to get your money in the most apparent way possible. Do yourself a favor and just go to Google and search for the song you’re looking for, it’s much easier and cheaper too. And another thing. Don’t advertise your app as having “however many millions” of songs if you can only get to those songs through a paywall. It’s just being money hungry, and greedy. Like, i’ve already gone and downloaded your app, you already get money from that. What more do you want from us???Show lesssomerandomguy :)

I had been happily using MuseScore for a little over a month even made an account for it. Then I got a personal offer for their music subscription, it was cheaper than what the subscription usually was so I had decided to buy it. Then everything went wrong, after refreshing the app to use my new perks, MuseScore decided to kick me out of my account. I logged back in and saw that my subscription wasn’t there I pressed restore purchases and it then claimed I hadn’t even bought a subscription. It then kicked me out of my account again and I tried to log back in only for MuseScore to say the account your trying to log into does not exist, so I was pretty frustrated at this point since I had a library of songs I had favorited and been practicing for days, and now I’m even more frustrated since now my subscription is useless! But it doesn’t stop getting worse, I decided I will just use MuseScore without an account since it was so insistent on not letting me use my previous one, and upon trying to play a peace of music it says “Oops!” “The app seems to be turned off in the background, please try refreshing.” I did as it told me and the message popped up every time I opened up a piece of music so now I can’t even use the basic app.Show lessUzi23456

Hi! If you use the MuseScore mobile app simply enter your name and click the 'Login' link on the 'Let's get started' screen. If you encounter the window that suggests starting a subscription press 'X' in the upper left corner and log in using the same username and password. If it doesn't help please contact us at support@musescore.comWorks fine, but not very intuitive
This app mostly works fine with what it advertises: Finding and playing user made sheet music. However, there are a few problems I have with it. Firstly, too many features are locked behind a paywall. If you want to download PDFs of the music (like advertised on the app store listing) you have to pay a subscription that’s like $50 a year. They are also constantly bring up full-screen popups trying to sell you on this. I think their subscription is a bit pricy for what it gives, and might be worth it if it wasn’t for the unintuitive app design. When you open a score on my iPad, it opens with everything very small. Zooming in on the score doesn’t decrease the amount on one page like it used to, but does a normal zoom. This is significantly worse because you have to manually pan around the page, which is hard to do while playing. If you want to replicate the old functionality, you have to press the magnifying glass in the corner and press “Enlarge” repeatedly. This new system is less intuitive and more time-consuming than the new one. This app still works fine, but I rated three stars for the pushing for a subscription and unintuitive design.Show lessDawson Call

I was able to find an interesting version of a song I wanted to learn, so that speaks well of their library, but some of the features are clumsy or underdeveloped.
For example you can export the score to a nice looking pdf for viewing on other devices, or make an mp3 for playback elsewhere - both great. You can also change the tempo and key inside the app to play along with your preferred instrument and a reasonable pace. But when you export to pdf, it only exports in the original key. When making an mp3 it reverts they key and the tempo as well. It also doesn’t always save your key or tempo when you close and reopen the app. The tempo slider is clumsy and doesn’t tell you what it is currently set to until you start to move the slider and then it’s different and you don’t know where it was. Minus one star.
Minus two more stars for their outrageous price and subscription model. Keep it 7 days for free. Cancel one day late and sorry, it’s charged $100 for a whole year. It feels like every app on the store these days is counting on us all forgetting to cancel our auto subscribe and paying way too much.Show lessHandyman1986

I like the app and I use it all the time but honestly the interface and actually using the app to read sheet music is really annoying and really glitchy and sensitive but not sensitive? Whenever I have to zoom in to read a measure it’s the most annoying process cause it’s gonna be like a 5 minute struggle to actually zoom in on the measure you want to read and not the one next to it while still having it be readable. Or sometimes I’ll need to listen to a specific section just so I can get a feel for it but the app makes it a struggle. I have to completely listen to the whole piece if I wanna listen to one section or I can try and use the “repeat function” they have but it’s just so glitchy and annoying to use I just don’t. If I’m being honest I’ve just started saving the sheet music to my phones downloads and just read it there cause the UI on the app is so annoying and just drives me awayShow lessMaximinmm

I love this app and service, but the one thing i’ve always had a gripe with is it’s viewing interface. Both on desktop and phone, desktop is bad but phone is SO MUCH WORSE. It constantly turns pages and swipes and doesnt open the menus when wanted, and does when not wanted. It’s overall very inconvenient but the WORST thing about it is that after (I believe) literal YEARS of MuseScore 4 being used to write scores, it STILL isn’t able to be viewed on phone. To get around this, they let you use a browser to look at it on the non-app viewer. But after looking at 2 within a week, you literally can’t look at ANY scores on that! So you get stuck in a loop of being forced to go on the browser, to going back on the app, back to the browser, etc. Practically making a good majority of scores online completely unviewable on phone. PLEASE update it, im begging you.
Besides from that issue, Musescore is still very good and even though it may have not sounded like it, I still love it.Show lessan autistic redditor

To start, the concept is nice. I’m a paying customer and have been for years, but this year especially has been infuriating. They keep changing the layout which messes up my practice. I’m not saying they changed it once or twice. I’m saying four or five times, today included. And now it won’t turn to the second page. It’s useless now. I updated the app and I’m about to restart my device, but an app should just work! Especially one that I’m paying for. Also the 3 different pay levels is ridiculous. With my service I don’t even get the official scores. I have to pay again if I want that. And every day that I log in it wants me to buy courses. I already know how to play. This app has made me mad more times than I can count. I’m ready to pay someone else that will keep their dev team from making constant changes to the layout and one that has services that makes more sense and doesn’t make me feel like I’m throwing money down the drain while they lock songs and ask for even more money. So done with this app.Show lessCandise Wendland

I have used this app endlessly for about two years now, and I have found so many songs that I love listening to. A cool feature is in this app where I can see the music to a singular part to learn the piece if I wanted. All up until a month ago, I was able to play multiple parts on this feature (e.g. Bass Clarinet sheet music is on screen, and Bassoon and Baritone Saxophone parts are also playing), but then it became buggy for a bit, then got fixed recently. However, in that bug (idk if it is intentional or just on my end), it would only let me play either the part on screen or all at once, which I found annoying as someone who listens to many concert band arrangements, and wants to combine a small number of parts together at a time. If this is a bug, can you fix it? And if it was intentionally removed, can you add it back? It was one of the main reasons I use this app so frequently.
Thanks!Show lessRacing for Anthoine

This will allow us to investigate and resolve the matter for you thoroughly.WARNING to potential users
Do not create a login for this app. I purchased a pro+ membership on their website using a credit card. It is supposed to include free use across all platforms including this application. So, I logged into this app and it told me that I was involved in some sort of trial membership and that they are going to charge me hundreds of dollars in 7 days after the “free” trial ends unless I cancel before the trial ends. However, the app does not provide a way to cancel the trial. In fact, it tries to lead you through a path where your only option is to immediately purchase that expensive membership. I refuse to press the button to immediately purchase the overpriced membership. So, the app is stuck at that point and I can’t do anything else on the app. I tried to click the App support button on this page. It brings up an error stating that the page doesn’t exist. So, I don’t know what to do next. There is a forum group on their website for paid members only. There are other paid members who tried to use this app and had an experience similar to mine and no support or resolution from the vendor.Show lessPianoRob12321

I gave up everything for this app. My family, my friends, even my mental well being. This app has impacted my psyche like no other, when i open the app i feel like i can do anything. I improved so much in the time i had this app downloaded onto my mobile device; i went from playing hot cross buns to the moonlight sonata 3rd movement, in fact i made another movement: the moonlight sonata 4th movement was made by me because of how inspired i was to use this app and learn different piano pieces. I havent seen my wife OR the sun for at least 13 years because of how obsessed and addicted i am to this amazing app. In fact i exist only while online in this app, i dont even feel emotion unless im on this app. I could have fallen down 12 floghts of stairs and not felt anything as long as i didnt have this app open, So i thank you musecore.
