### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-07-31*

Thank you for making it and it’s the best sheet music composer app ever as I’m also learning from this to, because I also play music but when I check sheet music from another app there are something’s I do not know so I come here to learn it . I get very creative. Thanks for making it 5 stars but if I find anything incorrect I will tell your 

Can you make t a b please

### 4/5 — Amazing but it’s missing essentials

*2026-07-29*

I love this app, and I use it all of the time to make songs and cover songs. though, there are some things that it needs to be better.

first of all, there are a lack of instruments, especially when it comes to brass and synth. as a brass player myself, there are more brass instruments other than trumpet, trombone, french horn, and tuba. there is also the euphonium (my main instrument), the alto horn, flugelhorn, cimbasso, and others. about synth, i feel like there isn’t enough, despite the ones there. 

on another note, some instruments sound horrible and don’t fit into any song. take the didgeridoo for example. it sounds like an elephant burping as it’s vomiting…

furthermore, WE NEED SWING RYTHEM. it’s so annoying because i cant make jazz music without making every single tied 8th note a quarter and an 8th in a triplet. please, add swing rhythm. 

also, please revert the change you made to where songs that are put into the “completed” section aren’t able to be edited until you unlock them. or at least, make another file where you can put songs that you actually want to work on, but don’t get lost in the sea of the MY_MUSIC###s that is the “working” section. it would make organizing so much easier. and don’t talk to me about changing the file name of a song, because you can only put one single song into a file and it’s so annoying.

**Developer response:** Hello Whsbdbrghs, Thank you for the feedback. We will do our best to keep improving Maestro.

### 4/5 — Limited

*2026-07-24, version 2.2.053*

I really enjoy this app but my only gripe is how limited the midi instruments because after that, you have very little instruments to use. It’s also because I like using all of the instruments but can’t put them into one song because of the limit.

### 5/5 — 한 마디로 최고다

*2026-07-18*

생전 처음 작곡을 하게 되었는데 처음엔 무슨 앱으로 해야할지 쩔쩔매다가 지인이 알려줬던 이 앱을 깔게 되었어요. 처음에는 사용법도 잘 모르고 어떻게 써야 하는지도 잘 몰라서 쩔쩔 맸는데 생각보다 간단하더라고요😉 어디에 마디랑 쉼표를 넣어야 하는지도 가르쳐줘서 작곡 정말 쉽게 했어요! 아직까지도 잘 쓰고 있는데 제가 써본 작곡 앱 중에서 가장 좋은 앱이었던 것 같아요🥰😊

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요 대음악가님, 마에스트로가 유용하게 사용된다니 더할 나위 없이 기쁩니다. 더욱 다양한 기능들이 지속적으로 추가될 것입니다. 음악을 더욱 쉽게 작곡할 수 있도록 마에스트로를 개선하기 위해 최선을 다하겠습니다. 감사합니다.

### 5/5 — Неточный машинный перевод

*2026-07-12, version 2.2.053*

Приложение крутое, но есть НО. От этого машинного перевода Steel String Guitar переводится как стальнаЯ струнАМИ гитара, 5th Saw Lead как треугольная волна квинты (слово квинты стоит не в нужном месте), а Reverse Cymbal как инверсированныЙ тарелкИ. А ещё там написано струнЫНй ансамбль (быстро).

### 3/5 — Whenever i place a note somewhere it places itself in another place that i didn’t place it at

*2026-07-05, version 2.2.053*

this app is great i just made my first song but everytime i try to place a note somewhere it keeps going in the place where i didn’t even place it at and that annoys me so much but overall good app

### 5/5 — Отличное приложение

*2026-07-04, version 2.2.053*

Пожалуй лучший музыкальный ассистент для сочинения на мобильных устройствах. Единственное, чем можно было бы дополнить на мой взгляд - не хотите ли вы создать собственный формат файла (для того чтобы сохранять композицию (не печатный вариант) и импортировать/экспортировать файлы? Скажем, что-то типо <название файла.mstr>, именно собственное расширение файлов? Спасибо

### 4/5 — Thoughts

*2026-06-26, version 2.2.053*

Ten out ten for sure. Enjoyed making things. Though I don’t understand the ticket thing and struggle to figure out how to add instruments
