### 2/5 — Facial page turn stopped working

*2026-08-03*

I have pro and face turn no longer works. Also when i add pdfs that i converted from a photo the score glitches, zooms in when opening the pdf and does not let me view the entire score. Just a zoomed in version of it. Used to lobe this app please fix this

### 2/5 — 困ってる

*2026-07-12*

アップデートしたら電池消費が凄いことになった。電池消費をなんとかしてください。

### 5/5 — Great App, Great Support

*2026-06-05*

I’ve been using DigitalScore for a few years now with no issues. It is easy to set up, intuitive in use, and works seamlessly with my pedal page turner. I’ve got about 150 songs between three bands; documents are easy to manage and use. 
Why write a review now? I experienced an issue yesterday with viewed page size and nothing would fix it. I contacted support expecting to wait for a week or so, but they replied in a matter of hours and provided a fix this morning. A great app and excellent service - thank you 😀

### 1/5 — Seit dem Release werden die Noten in Übergröße angezeigt

*2026-06-04*

Die Noten werden in Übergröße angezeigt und lassen sich nicht verkleinern. Derzeit kann ich auf nichts mehr sinnvoll zugreifen.

### 1/5 — 使えない

*2026-05-06*

アップデートしても使えない
画面は出るけど勝手に切れる、消える
このままだと困ります
使えるようして下さい

### 5/5 — Lo que necesitaba

*2026-04-30, version 7.3.3*

Excelente aplicación!!! Lo amo!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent pour une appli gratuite

*2026-04-28*

L’appli est simple et efficace. Je voulais lire des partitions sur téléphone pour jouer du souba dans ma fanfare, ca fonctionne exactement comme je le voudrais et il y a sûrement encore pleins de petites fonctionnalités que je ne connais pas encore.

Petites suggestions :
- le défilement par morceau (avec 1 clic sur le côté droit ou gauche de l’écran) pourrait avancer un peut peu moins, car quand le bas de la page coupe une portée, celle-ci est aussi coupée après avoir défilé d’un cran, et c’est assez agaçant.
- quand on est sur une partition et qu’on veut revenir au répertoire pour consulter une autre partition, le bouton de retour en arrière est un peu petit

### 3/5 — Please get rid of AI features!

*2026-04-22*

The updates have been making glitchiness of this app better, which I appreciate. However, please stop implementing AI features. I don’t need an AI summary of the pieces in my playlists, and I especially don’t need random words and letters highlighted on my pages! At the very least please make it optional in settings. It’s distracting on the page and confusing. Not to mention, offensive to use AI on an app targeted towards generally anti-AI artists (musicians).

### 5/5 — Für mich momentan die beste Noten App

*2026-04-09*

Ich habe die App seit kurzer Zeit und bin sehr zufrieden. Nutze sie vor allem zum täglichen Üben am Klavier. 
Finde total motivierend, dass sie mir genau zeigt, wie viel Zeit ich mit welchem Stück verbringe und so meinen Fortschritt sichtbar macht.
Ich markiere auch gerne die Passagen, die ich in den nächsten Sessions noch genauer üben muss. Dies ist jedoch noch nicht auf Klaviernoten optimiert (markiert nicht Violin- und/oder Bassschlüssel). Dies könnte meiner Meinung nach noch für Klaviernoten optimiert werden. Ebenso würde ich gerne auch mit ausgewählter Stiftfunktion mit Gesichtsgesten umblättern. Evtl. ist es auch möglich nicht nur Ordner sondern auch einzelne PDF Dateien zu importierten, die Möglichkeit habe ich aber bisher noch nicht gefunden.
Insgesamt aber eine sehr funktionale und motivierende App. Und ich hatte bisher keine technischen Probleme.

### 1/5 — 找不到播放按钮

*2026-03-05*

找很久不知道在哪播放，也没帮助
