### 5/5 — Quick, exact, and easy to use

*2026-07-19, version 3.6.10*

I have used this app for years. It’s my solution for a quick arrangement.

### 1/5 — Shut down

*2026-04-25, version 3.6.8*

I started to put in my first note and the program shut down.

### 5/5 — Great App for simple stuff, difficult for more complex compositions

*2026-04-20, version 3.6.8*

I recently downloaded this as a solution for needed to write music exercises for students on the spot, tailored for their level. It is easy to notate and I love the keyboard option for input. I immediately upgraded from SE and bought Pro. I love the app, and will hopefully figure this out soon. Thank you for such a useful tool!

### 5/5 — Easy and fast

*2026-04-17, version 3.6.8*

I have been using this app for years and find it very easy to use with very good results. I have used Finale and Mozart in the past, but while not as powerful, is more than adequate for most musicians. I can write or transcribe something in iWriteMusic and send it directly to ForScore for performance all on my iPad.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-02-23, version 3.6.8*

This program is easy to use once you learn how to use the technology that is involved in creating your composition.

### 5/5 — 使いやすいです

*2026-01-08, version 3.6.8*

作曲／編曲ピアニストを職業として仕事をしています。　このアプリは一年前から使い始めましたが、それまで何度かトライしていた他のアプリはどうも馴染まず、長年手書き派でした。　
　しかしこのiWriteMusic を使い始めてから、使い勝手の良さ、簡単にすぐ使いこなせる事に感動。　仕事も早くなり、完全に私の生活は変わりました。
　今まで、紙の五線紙にまず下書きスケッチをしてから、清書し、それから各パート譜書き、、　　特に移調楽器のパート譜書きは混乱しないよう、神経を使い、編曲時間よりもパート譜書きに時間が掛かっていたのに、今やボタンを押せば自動で移調してくれ、それをそのまま、すぐにデータで送れるのですから、簡単簡潔迅速で信じ難い有り難さです。

　難を言えば、2カッコに飛ぶ時に、前音からのタイが記載不能だったり、スコアを書いている時に、一楽器のみを持ち替えで移調させる事が出来ない、タイトル文字の大きさが一定なので、書き込める文字数に制約があるなど、幾つか「あー！これ出来ないのか、、」というものがありますが、それはこの額だから仕方ないのかな、、とも、、

　将来的には、もう少し値段が高くなってもいいので、機能アップをお願いしたいです。

### 5/5 — 꺼짐발생

改善か対応策をお教え下さい

### 5/5 — 오류 수정좀 해주세요

*2025-10-14, version 3.6.8*

편곡하다가 혼자 꺼지는 현상이 있어요.들어가보면 작업하던거 저장도 안되었더라구요. 불안해서 어플을 쓸 수가 없습니다.유료 어플이 너무하네요

### 5/5 — 一緒に成長しよう！

*2025-08-12, version 3.6.6*

困ってメールしたら、とても真摯に対応してくれて、ほんと嬉しかったです！
