### 5/5 — とっても

*2026-04-08, version 3.6.8*

重宝しています

細かい点で要望がないではないですが、充分読みやすいものが書けます最終的にはmidiの読み込みが出来たら言うことなしですが、それは求め過ぎというものでしょうね

### 5/5 — 手書き楽譜の清書に便利

*2026-01-24, version 3.6.8*

タブレットで簡単に入力できるので気軽に手書き楽譜の清書が出来る。それに加えて、演奏もできるので、初めての曲の雰囲気を掴むのにちょうど良い。何より買い切りなのが良い。

### 5/5 — I Like It

*2025-11-28*

I have had several music notations apps on my iPhone that I have not been satisfied with.  Thus those apps have been deleted.  Based upon the workflow of the other apps, iWriteMusic wasn’t very intuitive.  However, following a bit of exploration/experimentation I found the app to be the one for notation on iPhone that I like the best to date.  The only negatives for me thus far is that the tracks don’t seem to respond well to dynamic markings.  I would like to have more volume control between tracks.  Also, one additional feature that I would like to see is the ability to export in xml format.

### 4/5 — 使いやすい

*2025-11-22, version 3.6.8*

使いやすいし、楽しい。おかげさまでとても重宝しています。

### 5/5 — これしか使わない。むしろ、これだけでいい。

*2025-11-19, version 3.6.8*

編曲などの譜面作りには、不可欠なアプリで、大愛用させていただいています。
が、特にピアノ譜を作る際に、

・大譜表のヘ音記号からト音記号までひとつの(メロディ)ラインとして描けない。
・アルペッジォがグリッサンド記号として使えず、複数の音がないと出せない。
・テキストにイタリックを入れてくださったことには大変感謝しているのですが、両手が入り混じっているピアノの楽譜で、どことなく真ん中ら辺にfやpの強弱記号を入れられない。
・和音の中の一音をメロディラインにして伴奏部分に当たる音符の旗の向きを変えたい
など、特にピアノの譜面用に特化した機能を『ピアノパック』の様に買い切りで出していただけたらとても助かります。
あと、a tempo とか、simile とか…Ped.マークとか、よく使う音楽用語や記号の定形を自分で作成して取って置けると助かります。
デベロッパー様、ぜひよろしくお願いいたします。（要求ばかりで申し訳ないのですが、一番使い勝手が良くて、ずーっとこれで作譜させていただいているので…）

### 4/5 — テンポを変えると落ちます

*2025-09-04, version 3.6.6*

楽譜製作が、直感的に動かせるので大変重宝しています。一点だけ、楽譜のテンポを変える際に、テンポのところをタップするとアプリが落ちます。改良をよろしくお願いします。

### 5/5 — Bug

*2025-08-25*

Il y a un bug au niveau d’une modification d’un tempo, soit le iPhone ferme l’app, soit il ne modifie pas la nouvelle vitesse souhaitée. iPhone 16 promax.
Merci!

### 2/5 — Issues

*2025-08-07*

App disappears (shuts down), the app does not fill the full screen making it hard to keep up with where you are. Hard to see- too small. I have it completely open. Just up graded.

### 1/5 — 笑ってしまう

*2025-06-12, version 3.6.6*

この完成度で金とってるのに、笑ってしまう。

### 1/5 — Moreを押すとアプリが落ちるのは私だけ？

*2025-02-19, version 3.6.3*

クレッシェンドなどの装飾記号をつけようとすると落ちる。すぐに改善してほしい
