REAL Classical Musicians Should NOT use Nkoda

Nkoda is a scam. It’s grossly overpriced and it’s IMPOSSIBLE to obtain parts that can be used in performances, rehearsals, or even practice unless you use their useless apps (plural). Parts can’t be downloaded to use with OUTSTANDING apps (such as ForScore) which can be used in ALL of the above applications and so much more.

This is a total WASTE OF MONEY for a nothing burger. Classical orchestral musicians should run, not walk, from this completely useless pair of apps unless they like throwing money down the toilet.

Great idea, terrible execution

I’d gladly pay for a product like this but the app just doesn’t work. The amount of time it takes to log-in or pull up a single file is unworkable, even just for score perusal. Finally the app has simply stopped working altogether and won’t allow me to even sign in. Hugely disappointing.

Horrible

Horrible app. It’s heavy, it’s slow, weird to navigate. Plus, I want to get a score, not subscribe to anything. Get your act together.

Absolutely useless

I swear, I’m going to throw my iPad if I see that marimba player splash screen one more time.

I don’t know what broke, but I can no longer sign in via my Apple ID on my iPad or on my phone. Nothing works. Im still logged in on my laptop, but that’s fairly useless.

Paying $99 year for something I cannot even access anymore.

And WHY are there two apps???

This whole thing needs an overhaul. There’s too much good music on this site, but it’s useless when the interface is broken.

unreliable

improvements are being made. but still far from reliable

out of all things, why does it not instantaneously load ‘offline’ scores?

i would never use this reader on a performance. i cant use it because there is a chance a page wont turn or appear pixelated

also there needs to be tabs to open and go/back between multiple score, instead of waiting 3 minutes every time to load a new score

please realize that your fancy editing toolbox is useless if the app won’t open up a score. please hire experienced developers

also search engine is bad. i should be able to search composer and instrument without entering name of the piece

please benchmark the search engine of idagio, which is optimized for classical music
