The concert/performance mode is nice as well, and the customizations to spacing and sizing are nice. The issue is compatibility with writing and generally marking the scores. If you begin marking near one line and veer into the margin of another line, the mark will not record in the adjacent line. The eraser function is also extremely bad. Unless it’s just very unintuitive and I’m using it wrong, it feels so bad to try and erase marks. You’d expect to be able to scribble over marks with the eraser and make things disappear but 9/10 times that doesn’t happen. For an ecosystem that charges nearly as much for digital scores as they do for their very high quality physical copies, the software needs to be top tier. This software is not top-tier. **Developer response:** Dear User, thank you very much for your detailed review of our app! Some of the problems you mentioned stem from the unique graphical requirements that differentiate the Henle Library app from other comparable apps. Our app doesn't use entire pages of sheet music, but rather individual staves (otherwise the flexible layout wouldn't be possible), which is why annotations are currently limited to the staves. Additionally, the app uses a special graphic format, which is why writing and deleting work slightly differently. Especially when deleting, simply tapping directly on the symbol usually helps. However, we hope to release a major update for the iOS app this summer, which will include new features and an improved version of the annotation mode. ### 3/5 — Great Quality but Troublesome Print Layout *2026-03-01* I’m a professional classical musician. The quality of the score is as always among the highest in the industry. The app is in general smooth to use despite the paying-for-credits thing is not as intuitive. However, there’s a major issue for me that’s almost a deal breaker: the multi-movement scores only produce single movements within a collection, and while it might be easier to locate, this approach completely ruin the printing layout. I dig everywhere and didn’t seem to find an option for “printing the whole piece”; instead, I was only able to print through individual movement. So, for instance, for Schumann’s kinderszenen, I’d have some pages with only one line of music. I seriously hope the developer can add that feature. **Developer response:** Dear Lilian, thank you so much for your detailed review and positive rating! The credit system is somewhat cumbersome, but unfortunately absolutely necessary. In the app, we want to offer our sheet music in the smallest possible units, so users only have to buy what they actually want. However, due to Apple's fixed price tiers, we couldn't offer very short pieces of music at a low price. The credit system makes this possible (our prices start at 2 credits)! The Henle Library app was primarily developed to allow musicians to play our sheet music directly from a digital device (PDF exports and printouts for this reason have to be of secondary importance). Therefore, for example, in "Kinderszenen", the individual pieces flow seamlessly together, allowing them to be played consecutively even though they are separate pieces. Unfortunately, transferring this functionality to print is very complex. We hope you understand that we cannot offer this feature for the time being! For more information please contct us directly at app-user-support@henle.de ### 2/5 — Wie lange noch ? *2026-02-04* Wie lange noch dauert es bis die Umblätter-Funktion mal gefixed wird. Bei jedem zweiten Blättern bleiben die Seiten auf halber Strecke hängen, so dass 2 halbe Seiten sichtbar sind. Völlig unbrauchbar in diesem Zustand. Das Problem haben viele Nutzer und ist bei mir auch Geräte-übergreifend. Alle Geräte sind auf dem neuesten Stand und andere Apps bekommen das auch hin **Developer response:** Sehr geehrter Klavier-Klimperer, wir bitten die Verzögerung bei der Lösung dieses Problems zu entschuldigen! Weil die Henle Library App technisch völlig anders funktioniert als PDF-basierte Apps zum Lesen und Bearbeiten von Noten, ist die Korrektur dieses Bugs leider nicht so einfach, wie wir es uns wünschen. Selbstverständlich arbeiten unsere Entwickler mit Hochdruck an einer Lösung! Bitte beachten Sie, dass die Fehlfunktion durch Hin-und-her-Wischen für einen Score sehr einfach behoben werden kann! Es handelt sich nicht um das von einem anderen Rezensenten beschriebene (und vermutlich auf einem Hardware-Fehler des Geräts basierende) Problem eines generellen "Steckenbleibens" beim Blättern. Für weitere Informationen sowie Unterstützung kontaktieren Sie uns bitte unter app-support@henle.de ### 3/5 — 질문드립니다 *2025-12-15* 혹시 악보 표지는 없을까요ㅠㅠ 표지랑 인쇄를 같이해야하는데 … 표지 없이 인쇄하려니 좀 그렇네요ㅜㅜ **Developer response:** Dear User, we hope you understand we have to answer in English! The Henle Library app was developed to make playing sheet music from the screen as easy and high-quality as possible. Therefore, we ask for your understanding if printouts from the app do not look like our printed products. ### 4/5 — Great app, poor editing functions *2025-11-21* I absolutely love how one can switch amongst different fingerings and bowings of renowned artist. But making notes has proven to be difficult at times,especially when using apple pen. Hope they an improve it to match apps like forscore **Developer response:** Dear MusicMan908, thank you for your review and very good rating! Please note that our app uses a different technique than ForScore or other PDF editing apps. This is the only way to enable the special features of the Henle Library (e.g., flexible layout and displayable sets of fingerings). Unfortunately, this also means that certain limitations in annotation are unavoidable. Next year, we will release a completely revised version of the app, which will include new features as well as many improved functions. ### 3/5 — Könnte besser sein *2025-11-01* Grundsätzlich eine tolle App. Allerdings sollte die Filterfunktion im Shop dringend verbessert werden. Beim Filter „Klavier für zwei Hände „ wird nichts angezeigt. Wählt man einen anderen Filter, beispielsweise für den Schwierigkeitsgrad, werden plötzlich Noten für Klavier mit zwei Händen angezeigt. **Developer response:** Sehr geehrte/r Krebs66, haben Sie vielen herzlichen Dank dafür, dass Sie uns auf diese Fehlfunktion aufmerksam gemacht haben! Wir haben unsere Entwickler bereits informiert. Gerne möchten wir uns mit 100 Frei-Credits bei Ihnen bedanken. Bitte nennen Sie uns die E-Mail-Adresse Ihres Kontos unter app-user-support@henle.de ### 1/5 — Impossible to edit *2025-05-18* This app is a nightmare to add fingerings\bowings to, and so annoying it doesn’t let you import into another app where that is much easier to do like IMSLP. Really disappointed that I spent money on this, needs to be so much better. **Developer response:** Dear User, we are very sorry that you (unlike thousands of other users) are not happy with our app! For more information about annotating please see https://henle-library.com/en/features/#number_06 And if you want to use our scores with other apps of course you can export them to PDF, please see https://henle-library.com/en/features/#number_09 For help and more information about our app please contact us directly at app-user-support@henle.de ### 2/5 — Editing scores is bad *2025-04-08* Why is it not possible to write freely on the entire page in stead of individual lines. There isn’t enough space already so why make it even harder. Also the eraser ist the worst part you cannot swiftly swing it to remove lines it’s just awful. Sometimes when turning pages the pages are blank and the program needs to be restarted. Overall not impressed especially because of the system for sheet purchase. When using the Apple Pencil switching between pen and eraser should be standard **Developer response:** Dear User, thank you for reviewing our app! Annotating is limited to one stave because our app is not "page based" but "stave based" this means that every stave of a score is a seperate graphic. This allowes a flexible layout where you can adjust the stave spacing. We are currently working on an option to "freeze" the laylout and then it will be possible to annotate the whole page. We are also revising the eraser. When there are blank pages this is usually connected to problems while downloading a score (insufficient performance, storage or problems with the Internet connection - even with fast connections, brief instability may occur). Please try the following: Delete the score from your library by swiping the title to the left, then load it down again from the cloud. We had to intrdouce the system of purchasing credits before you can purchase scores because of Apple's price tiers. We wanted to offer short pieces for very low prices (2 Credits) and the credit system was the only way to do that. We hope for your understanding! For more information please contact us diretly at app-user-support@henle.de ### 1/5 — Rach 3 all fingering work LOST TWICE. *2025-03-21, version 1.19.1* I spent so much time working on this workhorse, to find out that all of my fingering work for the concerto disappeared, twice! Can you please do something about this Henle, I hope this doesn’t happen to anybody else! ### 4/5 — Disappointed with lack of features and support *2025-03-18* I bought a horn sonata score. Disappointed that there aren’t parts included, but just the full score. Also, wish that page tuning pedals worked with it. Pretty much useless for performances as a result. I’ll have to screenshot every page and use in forScore instead. Also, why no support option? **Developer response:** Dear Fiohgedsdvdehfewfgiyc, It seems like you don't know very much about our app yet! In the Store you can choose to purchase either the score or the parts (or both). We seperated scores and parts so that you only have to buy the music you really need. Connecting a bluetooth pedal with the Henle Library app can be in some cases a little difficult but most pedals do work with our app! If you want to use our music with other apps you don't have to make screenshots you can just export any score to PDF! To learn more about the many features of our app please see https://henle-library.com/en/features/ And of course their is a support that you can contact with any question about the app you want answered! Please contact us ad app-user-support@henle.de ### 1/5 — Fix it *2025-03-08, version 1.19.1* Turn the page and it’s blank. Unacceptable ### 1/5 — Login funktioniert nicht *2025-02-10* Leider kann ich mich weder anmelden, noch bekomme ich eine email nachdem ich auf „Passwort vergessen“ geklickt hatte - ist der Dienst überhaupt noch verfügbar? **Developer response:** Sehr geehrter Lasse Liegen, bitte entschuldigen Sie die späte Reaktion auf Ihre Rezension! Bitte schreiben Sie uns direkt an den app-user-support@henle.de ### 2/5 — Keeps whiting out! *2025-02-04, version 1.19.1* Frustrating. I can’t trust it. Ever. It just randomly whites out a page while I am playing or most of a page. I have to close the piece to get it back. If the music didn’t cost an arm and leg, I would not be using it! I ### 1/5 — Totally Unpractical and Flawed *2025-01-05, version 1.19.0* Just awful to use. The annotation tool is so awful that it is hard to understand how it came to light. I love Henle and I wanted to get this app so I could mark the score without destroying my paper edition. That function is basically so cumbersome that it is totally useless. Just wasted money buying credits for something that is unusable. What a wasted opportunity to create a beautiful app. Such a disappointment. ### 4/5 — iPhoneでは少し使いにくい *2024-12-07* iPadで使う分にはとても素晴らしいアプリで全く不満がないものの、iPhoneでカルテットのスコアなどを見ようとすると、幅や間隔をどう変えても画面の一番上に詰めて表示されるため、ノッチ部分orダイナミックアイランド部分と譜面が被ってしまって見えない部分が出来てしまう。上下中央に表示してくれれば調整しようがあるのに、とても惜しい。 **Developer response:** Dear wenertaitian, we hope you understand that we have to answer in English. Thank you very much for your kind review and very good rating of our app! It seems that you have problems displaying scores on your iPhone because of the "notch"!? We are very sorry for this inconvenience but because there are so many differnt models it was impossible to find a solution that works with every device. We hope for your understanding! If you need more information or have questions about our app please contact us directly at app-user-support@henle.de ### 3/5 — 注釈が消えてしまった *2024-11-27* Ipad2台で使用しています。 これまで記載していた注釈がまっさらに消えてしまったことがありますが、ローカルにデータを保存して、消えた場合にローカルにから復活させることは出来るでしょうか。 **Developer response:** Dear user, we hope you understand we have to answer in English! Yes, unfortunately, when scores are opened on two iPads annotation layers can be overwritten and are lost. Please always close a score on one device, wait untill it is saved on our cloud servers, then open it on the other device (it is also useful to rename the layers). Layers can be saved on your iPad or sent by email, you just have to use the share button (rhight from the title of the layer). For more information please contact us directly at app-user-support@henle.de ### 1/5 — 결제오류 *2024-11-07* 결제할고 하는데 계속 로딩중으로 결제가 불가 합니다. 빠른 오류 계선 부탁ㄷ 립니다. **Developer response:** Dear User, we hope you understand we have to answer in English! Of course we are very sorry for the inconvenience but this was an error caused by some new regulations from Apple, it was not a malfunction of our app! If there are any problems or questions please contact us directly at app-user-support@henle.de ### 2/5 — Poorly made applicatiom *2024-10-24* Impossible to log in: - i tried getting my former account back, the one i used a few years back, still waiting for the reset emails to arrive. - i tried creating a new account from within the application. Invalid password even though I'm pretty sure i only used one of my 3 email addresses i use for this kind of apps. - after all these failed attempts, i went to the website, created an account there and tried to use it in the app. For the sake of your customer relation with Henle, do not do that. I'm still vexxed ;) As you will see in the reply, i "got it all wrong" when i tried to do that. Application pretends an email was sent to change the password. This was not the case. Stick to the paper edition, the people who developed did a very poor job. I previously tried this app a few years back, when i was able to log in and was deterred by having to buy credits instead of just paying for the score i wanted. That was convoluted as well. This is as bad as the paper edition is good. Upping to 2 stars, from 1, because i got a reply. **Developer response:** Dear MikeG2, we are very sorry but it seems you don't want to be helped! Why dont you contact us at app-user-support@henle.de instead of writing reviews in which you are saying things that are simply not true (creating accounts for the app on the website)?? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 프린트 작동오류 *2026-05-10* 프린트해서 쓰려고 구입했는데 먹통이네요 어떻게 해결해야할지… 되던 인쇄가 안되니 답답해요 계속 안되면 환불해주세요 **Developer response:** Dear User, we hope you understand we have to answer in English! You are likely using an iPhone! Unfortunately, a bug crept into our latest update that is blocking several functions (menu items are overlapping with the musical notation; however, some functions remain available if you rotate your iPhone to landscape mode). We are already working on a solution and hope to release a new update very soon! For more information please contact us directly at app-user-support@henle.de ### 1/5 — Several inconveniences *2026-02-04* There are several inconveniences when checking sheet music on an iPad. The top and bottom are completely unusable due to other lists, and please fix the weird spaces that keep appearing between measures and lines. It's so inconvenient. **Developer response:** Dear User, we are sorry for the inconviences! The issues you mentioned are neither malfunctions nor bugs – it seems you're not familiar with the features and functions of our app!

Ich bestelle wieder Notenblätter im Original. Diese App ist extrem enttäuschend- ich werde den Verdacht nicht los, Europäer haben einfach keine IT Experten. Vor 20 Jahren hätte so etwas als Fortschritt verkauft werden können- jetzt ist es komplett desolat! Ständig im Hänge Modus, eine gute Suchfunktion gibt es gar nicht - immer nur - keine Information . Das Geld ist hier verschwendet . **Developer response:** Sehr geehrter Herr Becker, bitte schreiben Sie uns direkt an app-user-support@henle.de! Leider äußern Sie sich sehr unkonkret, aber vermutlich haben Sie lediglich Schwierigkeiten mit der Nutzung unserer App. Wir können Ihnen sicher weiterhelfen! ### 1/5 — Was ist nur los? *2026-01-22* Leider schafft es der Support nicht, ein Problem meiner App zu lösen: dass sie beim Blättern (Wischen) auf der halben Seite stehen bleibt. Während eines Konzertes ist das der Supergau. Pech gehabt, man könne es halt nicht reproduzieren, niemand anderes hätte das Problem. Basta. Danke dafür. Bin derzeit als Konterpianist wirklich zutiefst erschüttert darüber, weil ich so viel Geld da reingesteckt habe. UPDATE: Ich habe mittlerweile von Apple ein neues Ersatz-iPad bekommen. Dieses hat die Software-Version 18.7.2. Seitdem läuft die App wieder ganz normal. Leider traue ich mich nicht mehr auf 26 upzugraden, weil ich die Befürchtung habe, dass die Software dann wieder nicht funktioniert. Da der Entwickler ja nicht helfen kann (wie kann das sein?) , ist dass extrem unbefriedigend für mich mit einer Software, die ich eigentlich liebe und für die ich schon hunderte Euro ausgab. :( **Developer response:** Sehr geehrter Tarause, unser Support hat sich intensiv bemüht, Ihr Problem zu lösen! Wenn es jedoch nicht den geringsten Anhaltspunkt für einen Bug oder eine Fehlfunktion der App gibt, können wir eben leider auch keine Lösung anbieten. Wir bitten um Ihr Verständnis! ### 1/5 — Deleted all my annotations *2026-01-09* This app is absolutely horrible. I had marked fingerings on one of my scores over weeks, but when I reopened the app today almost all of the annotations were gone. Do not use this app if you need to annotate anything. **Developer response:** Dear Isaac981, annotaion layers can be overwritten when you open the same score on different devices or when they are not correctly uploaded to our servers (for example, due to an interruption in the internet connection)! This is of course very annoying, but unfortunately beyond our control. We hope for your understanding! Please contct us directly at app-user-support@henle.de our technicians will try to recover the missing annotations for you! ### 1/5 — The app is buggy! *2025-12-14, version 1.19.1* Every time I restart the app, all my purchased scores are gone. Nothing in my library. Complete blank. I have to delete the app, reinstall it, and then log in for the first time again, and then it may show up. I am currently in this cycle 3 times already and can’t get my scores back. Not such issue on an older iPad ### 1/5 — 페이지 넘김 오류 *2025-11-23* 최근 손가락 슬라이딩으로 페이지 넘기기 시 페이지가 한 페이지 반이 넘어가 걸쳐있는 오류가 매번 발생합니다. 악보어플이 기본 기능은 충실해야죠. 빠른 오류수정 부탁드립니다. 그리고 자잘한 오류로 불시에 종료되곤 합니다. 빠른 버그수정 부탁드립니다 **Developer response:** Dear Bärenreiter, we hope you understand we have to answer in English! This is not a bug or a generell malfunction of the app. We assume that the score(s) were not correctly downloaded to your device (this may have been caused by a glitch in the internet connection). Please delete the score from your library by swiping the title to the left, then load it down again from the cloud. Does it wok now? If you need more assistance or have questions about our app please contact us directly at app-user-support@henle.de ### 1/5 — eraser function not working *2025-10-06, version 1.19.1* Everything is great, except when I write things in the music, there’s no way for me to erase it. Pretty disappointed with this lack of basic function. ### 1/5 — printing feature is too bad *2025-07-17* when you print scores, the staves are not center aligned. what’s more, if I increase scale to 115%, even though the bottom section has much space, it is aligned to the beginning of the page and first stave is cut. **Developer response:** Dear User, we are sorry for the inconvenience! Since all our scores are graphically based on our printed editions, optimal adaptation to different paper sizes and print formats is unfortunately technically not possible. We ask for your understanding! For more information please contact us directly at app-user-support@henle.de ### 1/5 — Eigentlich gut aber ziehen einem Geld ab *2025-07-16* Fand die App eigentlich gut auf dem Tablet, als ich mir allerdings ein Stück gekauft habe, hat die app stattdessen einfach irgendein anderes gekauft. Musste jetzt zwei Stücke zahlen für ein Stück. Da gehe ich ganz klar lieber ins Geschäft. Da passiert sowas nicht. LG **Developer response:** Sehr geehrte PianoClaire, falls hier ein Fehler vorliegt (was technisch eigentlich ausgeschlossen sein sollte), bitten wir vielmals um Entschuldigung! Bitte schreiben Sie uns direkt an app-user-support@henle.de, und nennen Sie uns die E-Mail-Adresse Ihres Kontos! Selbstverständlich erstatten wir Ihnen die Credits, wenn Sie ein ungewünschtes Musikstück erhalten haben! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ㅊㅊ *2026-03-27* 결제 오류 가끔 있는데, 메일 보내면 깔끔하게 처리해주십니다. 의견 수용도 적극적으로 해주시는 편이고요. 무엇보다 책으로 사는 것보다 저렴하고, 믿을 수 있으니까요. 근데 손해 안보려면 10크레딧씩 사야해서 그게 좀 불편해요. 왜 그렇게 돼 있는지 모르겠네요. **Developer response:** Dear Giselle, we hope you understand we have to answer in english! Thank you very much for your kind words and excellent rating (both on IOS and Android)!! The entire credit system is admittedly somewhat cumbersome, and it would be simpler if each score could be paid for directly. Unfortunately, in the App we are dependent on the requirements and conditions of Apple and Google. We therefore ask for your understanding! If our editions differ from those of other publishers, this is usually because G. Henle Verlag and the Henle Library app aim to offer an exact original text of the music ("Urtext"), without any additions or alterations. Since all our editions are meticulously researched and published, we can unfortunately only offer a limited number of new releases each year. We hope for your understanding in this matter as well! ### 5/5 — Super *2025-08-30* Très pratique, permet d’acheter des partitions de qualité mais aussi d’importer ses pdf. On peut annoter facilement les notes. Formidable en voyage de pouvoir tout apporter. Le rendu est très beau sur IPad Pro. **Developer response:** Dear Delfmeuh, thank you very much for your kind words and excellent rating! If there are ever any problems or questions about our app please contact us at app-user-support@henle.de ### 5/5 — There’s been much improvement *2024-10-03* Better than a pdf scan of the score and the new pdf upload feature is great. Plenty of features like bookmarking, easily switching from the solo part to the same part in the full score, and annotating. **Developer response:** Dear Sebastian, thank you very much for this kind review and excellent rating! We are glad that the new feature (uploading PDFs) is appreciated - and it is only a kind of beta version so far, there are more options to come. If there ever should be any problems or questions don't hesitate to contact us at app-user-support@henle.de ### 5/5 — Please improve pdf file resolution *2023-06-19* I really like this app… But when it comes to pdf file it is to bad… I’m willing to pay more if younimprove the pdf resolution… If it is impossible please make some zoom function in the app!! **Developer response:** Dear User, thank you very much for the kind review and rating of our app! Exporting to PDF from the app always means a loss of quality – for technical reasons. Our app (unlike a lot of others) doesn’t use PDF but another graphic format that allows a very flexible layout. When the app was designed, our main concern was to enable musicians to display our sheet music in the best possible way on the screen, PDF export and printouts should primarily be an additional storage option. But of course we are always working on improvements! ### 5/5 — Sehr gute App *2023-05-05* Die Henle Library App hält, was sie verspricht: Die hervorragenden Editionen mit Kommentaren und Vorworten werden ergänzt durch Komfort-Funktionen wie eigene oder vorgeschlagene Fingersätze. Ich finde auch das Bezahlmodell sinnvoll, um von der Apple-Preispolitik unabhängig zu sein. ### 5/5 — Simply amazing *2023-04-17* In my view, this is how the future of classical music publishing will look like: bringing reliable scores to the tablet, for serious performers who are fed up with playing from shady IMSLP downloads... ### 5/5 — Prima *2023-04-12* Tolle App, Qualität der Ausgaben top, Bezahlsystem auch gut gelöst (Vgl. die Antworten von Henle zu Rezensionen hier). Auch die Fülle an Noten im Vergleich zu anderen Verlagen und die Menge an unterschiedlichen Fingersätzen (Klavier) ist hervorzuheben. ### 5/5 — Fan mail *2023-03-28* I love the Henle app! The digital music is beautiful and easy to read, as you would expect from Henle. I think that the two-finger tap for going back to the beginning of repeats is absolutely brilliant. I find the built-in metronome very helpful. It’s faster than reaching for a separate device, and the pitch works well for me. Thank you, Henle! ### 5/5 — Great Sheet Music, But Improvements Should Be Made *2022-11-12, version 1.16.0* I’ve been using this app for about a year now, and the app has never bothered me enough to not give it 5 stars, but there’s some VERY obvious issues that could be fixed to greatly enhance user experience. No. 1 - In the annotation tool when you disable touch to only use the Apple Pencil, you can still put dots on the score with your hands by accident, but not lines. No. 2 - It seems completely random, but sometimes when you switch between annotation tools it will jump back to the start of the page when you’re zoomed in, which has wasted me a lot of time and is frequently annoying. No. 3 - Sometimes when you try to erase an annotation when zoomed in, you’ll have to tap super far to the left or right or up or down for it to delete. Pretty much everywhere EXCEPT the annotation. It makes deleting things super annoying. No. 4 - If you don’t hold the Apple Pencil or your finger down long enough while making an annotation, a dot will appear at the end which is really annoying when using the highlighter, and deleting, or moving annotations. No. 5 - WHY CAN’T YOU MOVE BACK OR FORWARD WHEN LISTENING TO YOUR RECORDINGS?? I recorded myself playing the Ballade No. 1 in G minor op. 23, and I have to listen through the whole thing just to hear the coda. I’m sure if you downloaded the recording THEN you could move back and forth, but for something as quick and convenient as the recording library, I’d expect it to be done there. No. 6 - Please allow us to view the difficulty rating of the piece BEFORE we buy it in the app. It’s not too big of an issue because you can just go on the website and view the difficulty, but seeing it from the app would be nice. Last but not least, No. 7 - If I ever lose my account, all of my music is gone. I also can’t share the music with others unless they have an IPad too, which many don’t. The answer to those problems is obviously PHYSICAL sheet music. I think when you purchase a piece on the app, you should receive a 1 time use discount code for like 30%-50% off of the paper bound version. I also think you should receive a 1 time use download for the app if you buy the paper edition. I’d love to own a copy of the digital version for convenience, and own a copy of the physical version for the long term. I know you can print it from the app, but I want an actual bound version with that classic Henle blue. Those are my issues with the app. If they were fixed, my review would be far beyond 5 stars. For all that the app is and all that it’s not, I still recommend downloading it. ### 5/5 — Best place to buy sheet music *2022-08-12, version 1.16.0* I mostly use the Henle library app to buy sheet music because they allow exporting / printing. With the latest update the quality of exports is perfect for a large iPad Pro so I highly recommend this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
