Amazing

The best music creation app

Great tool

Ive been using this app for almost a year and its been so easy to use and so fun transcribing and writing stuff. Highly recommend, and i also recommend the premium feature.

Power user’s experience

Good stuff - just 2 bugs need to be fixed.
1. Fix the transposing bug when transposing but selecting “don’t change key signature”, nothing changes.
2. There is a Flat Power popup every day I download a pdf / audio file. I do have Flat Power. Can you remove this false pop-up?
Good effort - keep it up.

Great! But deny basic rights

Why do multi measure rests cost money? That is a basic right being denied. Otherwise love it sooo much.

Hard to use

Flat is a hard to use app for the different instruments that require for me to pay so I would not recommend but other than that it’s a good enough app to use to create a good arrangements

It’s good but stopped working

I love flat use it everyday but when I want to listen to other people songs most of the instruments don’t work and won’t make a sound plz fix it this is my favorite app❤️🙏

The transpose feature

don’t understand why the transpose feature was turned into a paid Power feature when it used to be free. It was one of the most useful tools for musicians, especially students like me who rely on it to practice, learn music in different keys, or switch between instruments. Taking a feature that has always been available and suddenly locking it behind a subscription feels like a downgrade instead of an improvement.

I understand that apps need ways to make money, but moving existing free features behind a paywall isn’t the best way to do it. It makes longtime users feel like they’re losing something they already had, rather than gaining new premium features. A better approach would be to keep the transpose feature free and reserve Power for brand new tools and improvements.

Please consider bringing the transpose feature back for everyone. A lot of musicians, students, and longtime users depended on it, and making it free again would show that you value the community that helped support the app in the first place.

review? idfk

anyway this app really helps me when i’m writing songs because i often only have lyrics and since i can only play piano and guitar it makes my songs sound very similar after a while. having a bunch of instruments to chose from and make music with is so convenient when i know what i want it to sound like bit i can’t do it myself.

Very very gud

This app is really awesome and helps with finding great music that you don’t have to spend money on to print. I use this more than other paid apps such as Musicscore due to its wide variety of music as well as its easy to download and print abilities.

Tuning

It’s simple to use but if all instruments there is no excuse for digital ones to be out of tune! The saxophones are sooo flat!

Response from developer

Thank you, Crazy game rather, for your feedback about the tuning! We appreciate your insights and are glad to hear you find the app user-friendly. Your input regarding the saxophones being flat is valuable and helps us ensure we maintain a high standard for all instruments. If you continue to experience issues, please reach out to our support team at hello@flat.io. We're here to help!

Lock

Please add a feature where you can ‘lock’ measures to prevent them from change bc I hate accidentally screwing smthn up :/
Besides that, really nice app, don’t like that you have to pay for more than 15 songs

EDIT: I bought the year subscription, and I don’t regret it. I don’t get anything added really, but it’s nice to work without worrying about space for my scores.

Also, you should add a feature that can be toggled so that a score can be removed from the all scores “album” . It would help me to differentiate between complete and incomplete scores

Can’t add instruments

Can’t add instruments

Amazing app, bugs

The app is amazing and all but the app can be a bit bugging sometimes and it get to a point i can’t make music, if you can fix the bug that will be great.

Thank you Flat.
Rated 5 Stars.

Great but noticeable drawbacks

Flat.io is a great space to start composing music, with lots of instruments, albeit most limited to the subscription. Every high quality instrument, synth, free reed, and some of the regular instruments are barricaded by the wall of money. If you do purchase, some of the high quality instruments still sound off.

The app keeps glitching on me as well, leaving me to use the website. It’s kind of ironic considering my nickname but the nickname’s a nod to Chihiro Fujisaki. The website is significantly better with loading the instruments from my songs.

It also lacks musical annotations that other apps, like Musescore, provide.

Overall, it’s a good starter, but it doesn’t have everything I’m currently looking for. I would recommend Musescore to a friend, not Flat, but Flat is alright for now.

Ripped off

I just bought the premium version to get the lead vocal and other instruments that don’t come with the free version. Finished paying and it’s still saying I don’t have access. Did the transaction again cause I thought maybe it didn’t go through and it says “You’re already subscribed to this”. What a rip off, $12.99 and I don’t have access to any of the features I paid for.

Great Music maker and finder

This is a great app to make music especially when you have that clean Vibrato from string instruments but I do think if fixed more it can be way better plus you can find music scores besides making your own also all songs can be printed after you save them as a PDF file then move to your printer.

AMAZING

i have been using this app for 3 years now and i love it!

Uhmm its good

This is honestly a really good and honest app i have’nt really experiencd any bugs yet. But note flight is better i would say

Instruments Could Use Slight Work

I’m in love with this app, it’s the one app use to compose music but I BEG you somehow find a way to increase the range of a few instruments? I need the tenor saxophone to increase it’s range BADLY.
