What's New in NextPage Sheet Music Reader

2026.6

October 19, 2026

NEW AND IMPROVED • Song Info has a new look. The song's title is the heading (tap it to rename), Key and Tempo sit right under it, and the details are on a card. Tap Key for a circle of fifths and tap a key to set it. • Score Type is now a menu, and it's filled in automatically when a song's name says what it is, like "Amazing Grace (LEAD)". • A song's audio track can now be an audio file from the Files app, such as an MP3 or M4A rehearsal track, as well as a song from the Music app. Audio files can be included in your backups. • Share a song with your markings. Song Info's share button now offers a PDF with your markups, text notes and Apple Pencil drawings drawn in, ready for Mail, Messages, Files, AirDrop or printing. • Back up to iCloud. Choose where your backups go: iCloud, Dropbox or just this iPad. Your PDFs can be backed up to iCloud too, and only new charts are sent each time. • Restoring a backup now brings back missing charts and tells you what came back. • A better Highlighter. NextPage's own Highlighter now tints the page and leaves the printed music black, and it no longer gets darker where strokes overlap. • The metronome keeps playing when you move to the next song, switching to that song's tempo. To have it stop instead, turn on Settings › Advanced Settings › Stop Between Songs. Stretch Music Vertically has moved there too. • Page Arranger: Reset keeps your markings, Page Links and bookmarks follow their pages when you rearrange them, and deleting or duplicating a page no longer mixes up markings. FIXES • In Dark Mode, black Apple Pencil markings no longer turn white (a bug in 2026.5). Your markings were never changed. • Importing PDFs from Google Drive, OneDrive and other cloud services in the Files app now works. • Some PDFs no longer show a black strip along the right edge or top. • On iPadOS 27, Apple Pencil drawings now move correctly when you crop or uncrop a page. • Renaming a song no longer loses its Apple Pencil drawings or leaves Song Info blank. • Fixed a crash when locking the iPad just after drawing with Apple Pencil. • The Draw with Finger switch works properly again. • Erasing a symbol works consistently the first time. • Starting to draw while a tool's menu is open no longer adds a stray line from the edge of the page. • A Dropbox restore no longer stops partway when one chart can't be downloaded, and a refused backup file now tells you why and which file. • Smoother audio scrubbing, and more fixes for restores, Dropbox linking and German and Spanish key names. The full list is in NextPage's Release Notes.

DOES NOT SAVE ANNOTATION TO PDF

Ok app, but not worth 12.99 per year. Found out that by using Dropbox, the annotation is saved and can be restored back to the next page app, but still not to the pdf file. I’m giving it a higher rating now. Customer service is excellent, responded quickly to my situation.

Response from developer

Thank you for updating your review, and for the kind words about our support. Good news: version 2026.6, available now, lets you share a song with your markings. In Song Info, tap the share button and choose the PDF with your markings. Your markups, text notes and Apple Pencil drawings are drawn into the PDF, ready to email, save to Files, AirDrop or print. Clear now says plainly that it only removes the markings on the page you're on, and backups are much more reliable in 2026.5 and 2026.6. They can now go to iCloud as well as Dropbox. The subscription is what keeps NextPage working with each year's iPadOS and pays for updates like this one. If anything still isn't working, please reach me at nextpageapp.com/support.

It looks good...

Updated: I came across the app via the Airturn website, looking for an alternative to OnSong. I initially had trouble connecting my Airturn pedal and there are no directions in the app on how to do that, and the link to talk to the developer didn't work.

Eventually after acouple of resets on everything I got it working properly

It's simple and it gets the job done, and I'm grateful it's a pay once and you're good to go.

It looks good...

I came across the app via the Airturn website, looking for an alternative to OnSong. I think this app will do the trick except I can't connect my Airturn pedal, and there are no directions in the app on how to do that. I paid for the full version of the app, no luck there either. And while the developer asks that I contact him via the app, clicking the contact link does absolutely nothing.

I really want this app to work... Help?

Doesn’t appear to be IOS26 Compatable

Love this app. I’ve used it from the beginning, but once I upgraded to IOS26, it lost all text annotation. It’s never failed me until this morning. Hoping for a fix! The fix is in and it worked perfectly! Kudos to the team at NextPage!
