Super app
Pro ou pas, c’est un incontournable! Tu veux annoter des pdf.
Edit 2026:
Svp, quand on exporte un set'ist en texte seulement, ajouter aux option de partage la durée, le tempo et la clé!
Merci

Was excellent. Now buggy abandonware.
Forscore was recommended to me for readIng renaissance polyphony from facsimile editions. I’ve now been using it for several months, and I’m hooked. Goodbye to struggling with crufty, dog-eared paper copies in poor light! It’s hard to think of any comment that hasn’t been made here before, except that...
... in another life I have to read technical manuals in PDF form, and I needed an app in which to make marginal notes. It took an embarrassingly long time to realise that I already had one.
Update (after several years use): I'm downgrading this to 2 stars for the following reasons:
1. The developer, a single programmer it seems, appears to have lost interest in this program, and neither posts updates nor responds to bug reports.
2. There are long-standing bugs that can require an app hard-restart during rehearsal/performance:
2.1. The spontaneous, random, event of appearance of the page-scroll-thumbnail, obscuring part of the page, and persisting until an app hard-restart, and
2.2. The inability to turn pages after hiding the default annotation layer, for which the workround seems to require an app hard-restart followed by the creation of a score-layer.
Beware getting locked-in to this app. With hundreds of scores and countless hours of annotations, I find myself trapped in a proprietary format with no migration path out of it.

Great…and awful
Forscore is a terrific app for storing, displaying and marking up scores with great features. The syncing between Apple devices is a nightmare and has been for several years. Forscore REALLY needs to get serious about fixing this. It really undermines the user experience causing vast amounts of time wasted consulting help, customer service, deleting, backing up re-syncing and more.

Very good but still room to be better
The app does the job nicely for the most part. Little missing things here and there keep it from being great—when installing on a new device, I have to add a document on that device first to be able to set up iCloud sync; and I’ve found no way to move multiple items to a library in one go. Things like that.
