Nice app!

Wish I could pay to remove ads

Love the app, but there are a couple issues keeping it from being perfect.

I use this app to play music from IMSLP, and it does that well. You can browse the website in the app, download the music straight to your device, and it shows up in your library to use. This is great because some of the works on there are extremely long, so using a tablet saves a lot of paper.

However, there are two issues I have with the app that keep it from being perfect, and may lead to me finding another app soon. The biggest issue is that the app doesn’t save your place in the PDFs, so if I’m working from 3 books I have to keep track elsewhere of what pages I’m on, because when I open the PDF again it puts me back at the beginning. This is a big issue when you are working with books hundreds of pages long.

My second issue is more minor, but I would love the option to be able to swipe to turn pages. Right now I have to scroll through pages, which simply isn’t convenient sometimes. This is pretty minor, but I think it would make a great improvement.

Also, I did mess around with the metronome, but found it pretty lacking. I use another app for that though, so it isn’t a big deal to me. I haven’t used the auto scrolling option because I haven’t found a real use for it yet, so I can’t comment on that.

Overall though, I can recommend this as a good option for playing music from IMSLP if you want to use a tablet or phone to do so, and if they improve these issues it would be perfect.
