Great App works with my guitar and irig 2
Would be good if midi files access worked I.e Dropbobut fails to connect to the site ,also would like to be able to save midi to files on the iPad , please update this great app ,thanks
Doesn’t work anymore
This is sad as it was really helpful pitch matching
One note only
Records notes if you only press one note at a time If you press two, it records a random note Does not record if you press the same note again No timing, everything is a whole not This is completely unfinished
Great value
Use with slowed music reads note names and length in exported midi score app
Disappointing
I just bought this App for my iPad thinking that I could convert some of my midi tracks in Garage Band and Music Studio to sheet music, but this is not the App for that. In fact, I have been unable to find an App that works on iPad that will do that. Anyway, I figured that I could still use this App to capture elusive chords and notes when humming in the mic as it is advertised. However, Magic Stave does a pretty lousy job of capturing all the notes no matter how slow I try to sing or hum a tune. I even tried different mics including USB mic attached to the iPad using the Apple photo adapter but that didn't work (that mic setup works fine with Garage Band). Also, when I attached my midi keyboard I got a lot of electronic "fuzz" with each recorded note on playback and had to make sure I switched to just the midi input to get clear notes. Same with the mic, but the instructions don't tell you that. It would also be good if you could hear a midi instrument when recording, but Magic Stave doesn't convert to audio on the input. That's a real shame for someone used to plugging their midi keyboard in to record on Garage Band and being able to hear what they're recording. One more thing when attaching a midi instrument is that you have to select the right channel. At first I could not get my keyboard to work until I "found" it on channel 8, then for some reason I lost it and eventually found it again on channel 1. I also wanted to send a piano track from Music Studio to Magic Stave because I could see that it was showing Music Studio as a midi interface, but I'm not sure how I would be able to import it in to Magic Stave as there were no instructions in the Help section how to do that.
This App is a good idea for someone wanting to capture a song idea while on the go, but I just couldn't get it to work. I think it will need some improvements to make it more usable, but for me it was a wasted 3 bucks and Saturday afternoon screwing with it when I could have had more fun recording a new song. I hope to see an update that will make it more usable.

Awful UI
Very unintuitive
No work
Pity this doesn't work it was what I was looking for :(
Helps with sight-reading
Really good app to help get started reading music. I use with midi input and there can be a lag if more than one note played- any way chords could be displayed using midi?
Violin, and precision of fingering
Would you provide an option for fingering 'tapes' for violin? It would show whether the note is correct, or between tones.
Magic Stave seems to have some trouble detecting notes above high E (in the octave above middle C). I think I saw a notice about improving this, though the same clefs still seem to be shown.

Awesome
Could use better accuracy sometimes but about 95% accurate sometimes there's a delay in note display if singing into the phone but it has helped me a lot with pitch and songwriting I highly recommend it.
Great App- Please work on making function with iOS9
Great app. I use it to find notes in songs. However, it doesn't function on any of my iOS9 devices. Please fix that!!!!
Good App
I really like making my own music but, unfortunately, I don't actually know a whole lot about it. This app is really helpful for me when it comes to figuring out which notes I'm singing, and it even shows me where those notes are played on the piano, which saves me a lot of time and effort. The only thing upon which I believe could be improved is the clarity of how to use everything, because I'm fairly certain I'm not making the most of this app, but purely because I don't quite understand how to go about using it. Maybe it's just me and I'm somehow missing something that would be straightforward for another person, but I'm still confused nonetheless. Overall, it has been a good app for what I'm using it for.

nice app
This accurate note recognition through a simple interface. As a guitarist, it would be great if the note history could be stored and displayed in tab format within the app, as opposed to exporting the midi file and then manipulating with something like guitar pro.
Brilliant!
Just learning to read music and this is amazing! Love the ability to show the notes as the note names rather than as notes. I’m learning fast. It’s amazingly fast and accurate too, how does it do that? I upgraded from the free version as I wanted to see the note positions on a guitar. Thoroughly recommended!

Horrible
The notes it plays back and also detects are incorrect.
It also sounds terrible.
It's a stupid app.

Doesn't seem to work
It makes a mess of identifying both singing and whistling. I don't see a point of using it for piano. So it's no use.
confusing
not sure this app works at all. directions are confusing and i do not believe this works as advertised. wanted it for ukulele since there is not much sheet music available. I cant get it to work at all. I would be happy to retract this if we can get this to work or provide some education.
Terrible
I got this app to help me write music when I had a melody. This is probably one of the most confusing apps I've ever used, and does a very bad job of finding the correct notes. It also ignores double notes, even if you rest between them. It's one of the worst apps I've ever had to experience using.
My Dream App
Ever since I was a youngster learning music, I dreamed of an app that would allow me to hum or sing a melody and immediately show me the notes. That dream has come true with Magic Stave. If you have a modicum of ability to sing on key, you can use this app to figure out any melody you imagine.
I have fairly decent relative pitch from many years of playing music, but sometimes I just cannot figure out an interval by ear. Magic Stave to the rescue! If I can sing it on key, Magic Stave can tell me exactly what note I’m singing and I can figure out the interval from there. It can display the note position on various instruments, including guitar, AND show you the actual note name on the stave (A C note will actually appear as the letter “C”). This is fantastic for dummy, self-taught rock guitar players like me who only have very basic music reading ability.
As an added bonus, Magic Stave can now immediately PLAY that melody with one of several instruments along with outputting the MIDI file. You don’t have to wait to import the MIDI file to a DAW anymore (although importing the MIDI file is also a FANTASTIC feature). All around an awesome app! I’d buy this app 10 more times if I could. It’s THAT good to me.

Such a useful app
I love this app; it does the exact thing I wanted an app to do ie listen to my voice or instrument and display it on the stave. It does so much clever stuff over and above this basic function as well! I took it with me when I went to test out a concertina from ebay and it was great for checking that all buttons were in tune. I play violin to it to check my intonation. Also helps if I get a tune in my head and can't remember what it is.
Really appreciate the addition of the violin fingerboard display, but for me I would like the fingerboard to show either fret lines or finger numbers or both as otherwise from a small display it isn't obvious exactly which fingering is being shown. Maybe as an option?
Thanks for a great app.
