Perfecta para escribir partituras rápidamente. Le faltan sólo algunos pequeños detalles pero aun así es buenísima. Me encanta. Muchísimas gracias de mi parte a los desarrolladores de esta aplicación. ### 5/5 — Muy bien todo *2024-11-30, version 3.5.8* Muy bien todo pero habría que renovar el cifrado on nomenclatura más moderna ### 3/5 — スイング入力 *2024-11-13, version 3.5.8* スイングの入力方法が分かりません。 以前のバージョンでは出来ましたが、分からなくて困ってます。 ### 3/5 — 書くに特化？ *2024-08-22, version 3.5.8* musicxmlやmidiファイルが読み込めればいいのですが。 方法がわかりません。 ### 3/5 — Tres bien mais *2024-07-16, version 3.5.8* Il faudrait pouvoir faire des copier coller en une seule fois et non pas piste par piste. De plus il manque la possibilité de pouvoir écrire les doigtés. ### 4/5 — Simple et efficace... *2024-07-02, version 3.5.8* Oui, simple et efficace, une fois que l'on s'est un peu rodé à l'interface... Dommage que : - l'on ne puisse pas importer des fichiers midi. - l'application se bloque par moment, absence de réaction au tactile (exemple : lorsque veut déplacer un texte). Problème existant de longue date car il était présent sur mon ancien iPad. - l'on ne puisse pas copier les 2 portées en même temps et les noms des accords et les texte... ### 5/5 — Wonderful, but *2024-04-20, version 3.5.8* It would be very good if you give the app a super power. Read a paper music sheet from an image or pdf. It would be fantastic. ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-03-23, version 3.5.8* 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! ### 4/5 — Great App *2024-03-14* 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. My only complaint is that making a new file isn’t as easy to find as everything else. I’ve looked on the web help and app help and I don’t see it listed, and the tutorial does not show how to get to their displayed “files” help page from the main screen when the app is opened. I love the app, and will hopefully figure this out soon. Thank you for such a useful tool! ### 5/5 — とにかく安い❗️ *2024-02-27, version 3.5.7* この値段だったら、最高に満足です。今まで、Windowsパソコンでフィナーレを使用してました。仕事も引退して、Windowsパソコンも壊れて、もうiPadだけで十分となりました。先日、楽譜を書いてと言う依頼があり、フィナーレはMacでは使えなくて、iPadのアプリを探しました。そして、このアプリに出会いました。使い勝手は少々違いますが、探りながら依頼曲を仕上げることが出来ました❣️不便なとこ、便利なとこ、フィナーレだって同じです。何万円もするフィナーレを長年使用していた私ですが、このアプリのお陰で、これから楽しめそうです。 ### 5/5 — 達人が書いたから機能が凄すぎ *2024-01-21, version 3.5.7* オンラインヘルプもあるし凄すぎ何でも作れちゃう ### 3/5 — すぐおちる *2023-12-25, version 3.5.6* コピペしたときなど、なんの前触れもなくいきなり落ちる。今までやっていた作業が全部水の泡になるのでこまめに保存ボタン押しておいた方がいいです。 1カッコ形が短いのも見にくくてあんまり好きじゃないです。 楽譜データがフォルダ分けできると助かります。 作業自体はやりやすいので改善していただけるとうれしいです。 ### 4/5 — Nice PDF output. *2023-11-29, version 3.5.6* This is one of three of these musical notation apps that I use. This one is easy to use and quite fast. I don’t use the one flick entry method as it has a keyboard for typing in notes. This works very well. It is a shame there is no guitar (or other) fretboard note entry system. Strangely when you are asked to choose your note entry method there is no mention of the keyboard method. I have found nearly everything I need but of course there is no guitar specific notation like hammer ons and so on.i can write text over the top of the music for any of this stuff. I was pleased that it plays back the guitar music an octave lower than written, as usual for guitar music. My only criticism is the music is in a continuous scrolling line when editing. A page view would be a great addition especially for long pieces making copying and pasting easier. Anyway despite the suggestions above I like this app a lot. Between the three I have I can always get the job done. ### 3/5 — Gomma *2023-10-13, version 3.5.6* Scomodo il modo di cancellare gli errori, piuttosto incomprensibile ### 2/5 — Kicks me out frequently when adding tracks *2023-09-03, version 3.5.6* This app is fairly simple to use and intuitive - it meets my needs of writing out simple melodies and arrangements for my students. It is frustrating that the app kicks me out frequently whenever I try to add another harmony line or track. Thankfully it saves my work from where I left off - but considering that I’m paying for the app it’s a design flaw. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2023-08-29, version 3.5.6* Excellent app for my purposes! Great technical support, as well! Thank you! Love the ease of use, and all the editing tools for layout! ### 4/5 — So Far So Good *2023-07-09, version 3.5.3* A lot to figure out here. Some things like note entry is imaginative and intuitive. Haven’t figured out how to insert measures. There must be a way! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Shut down *2026-04-25, version 3.6.8* I started to put in my first note and the program shut down. ### 1/5 — 환불 해주세요… *2024-02-20, version 3.5.7* 환불 부탁합니다. ### 1/5 — Impossible *2023-07-02, version 3.5.3* This app is impossible to use and it is not fun, I am familiar with many of the notation programs and as a music teacher I could never recommend this app to my students, ### 1/5 — No es PRO *2022-11-14, version 3.5.0* No la descarguen por favor. Hay apps gratuitas que hacen mucho más. Además no entrega recibo, de manera que no hay reembolso. O sea, acabo de perder 15mil pesos. ### 1/5 — waste of money. *2022-05-17, version 3.4.1* totally unintuitive ### 1/5 — Frustrating, infuriating *2022-01-17, version 3.3.5* Clunky. Not intuitive. Shuts down as soon as I finally get a few notes onto the staff. ### 1/5 — Not working on iOS 14.2 *2021-09-27, version 3.3.3* Cannot load the app in iPad with iOS 14.2. Please fix it ASAP. ### 1/5 — worked until update *2021-01-18, version 3.1.7* had this for 5 years with no problems, now after update it keeps crashing, terrible, was a great app before ### 1/5 — Unintuitive *2020-11-03, version 3.0.20* I expected something II had it ### 1/5 — Nope *2020-02-06, version 3.0.19* This app is absolutely worthless, does not work anything like it should, very disappointed! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. Andrea Baker ### 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 *2025-12-09, version 3.6.8* 사용하다보면 가끔씩 꺼지고 소리가 안들림 ### 5/5 — 困っています *2025-10-18, version 3.6.8* ios26になるまではプリントアウト出来たのですが、26になったらプリントアウト出来なくなってしまい、とても困っています。 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！ ### 5/5 — Better than my computer software *2025-04-18, version 3.6.3* I was using soft wear on my computer. It quit printing for me so I had to get something else. A friend told me about this app. It is much faster and easier to use than the software I have used for years. I recommend it to everyone. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
