In addition, the idea that you can spend that much money per year on an app and they don’t give you a way to delete a score from your playlist without deleting the entire playlist is just insane. It’s such a simple coding measure. You have to conclude they genuinely don’t care. If you’re going to have an app like this, you should pay developers to continue to make sure that it’s updated and functional. If they fix these issues, it would surely be a five star review. ### 3/5 — Illegally charged despite canceling subscription *2026-04-28, version 4.0.8* Update: I got a refund. They agreed to a refund a day after charging me and receiving an email from me explaining why they needed to give me a refund. Original review: They illegally charged me despite my cancelling my free trial 24 hours before it ended. Still trying to get a refund. Beware signing up for their subscription on their website as there is no instantaneous electronic cancellation mechanism. I went through the steps as directed multiple times and received no cancellation email. I additionally emailed customer service so that I could have a record of requesting to cancel. This could have been a useful app to subscribe to in months when I play gigs that don’t give out non public domain music in advance, but I won’t do so unless they sort out an effective instaneous electronic cancellation mechanism and refund the illegal charge. For public domain music imslp is adequate and FREE. ### 5/5 — 亂扣錢 *2026-02-27* 一直亂扣款 **Developer response:** Please contact our friendly customer support team on support@nkoda.com who will be able to assist you :) ### 1/5 — Beware Region Block *2026-02-20, version 4.0.8* Despite the huge subscription costs, majority of music is locked behind a region wall and unavailable. Further to this, the user interface and searchability of music is very poor. Do not recommend beyond the 7 day free trial. ### 1/5 — 뇌안에 완벽한 백과사전이 들어있는 지적 장애인 같은 앱 *2026-02-20* 뭐 자료는 많은데 쓰질 못함 앱이 너무 병신임 **Developer response:** Hello, please contact our friendly customer support team on support@nkoda.com who will be able to assist you directly. Thanks :) ### 1/5 — “Your subscription is connected to another account” *2026-02-12, version 4.0.8* Paid $15 for subscription through apple while logged into my account, suddenly logged out and told my subscription is active through another account. I don’t have another account!! Tried making an apple account and logging in through there (thinking maybe it was attached to my Apple ID) but no, nothing. Horrible app. Not my first time using it, and I can assure you it’s been a nightmare every time. I hate this thing so much. Update: I have still not received a refund for this, and I’m still unable to access subscription content. ### 1/5 — “Your subscription is connected to another account” *2026-01-19* Paid $15 for subscription through apple while logged into my account, suddenly logged out and told my subscription is active through another account. I don’t have another account!! Tried making an apple account and logging in through there (thinking maybe it was attached to my Apple ID) but no, nothing. Horrible app. Not my first time using it, and I can assure you it’s been a nightmare every time. I hate this thing so much. ### 1/5 — Login Process is Atrocious *2026-01-16, version 4.0.7* This app has some benefits, I’ll give it that. However, the process of logging in your account and/or your instructions account is absolutely atrocious. It’s always taking 3-10 minutes to finally get logged in. I honestly only use it as my university offers it, but honestly, it’s not great. It’s also super slow. Like A+ developers for the idea. However the overall design, speed, and login process, y’all are morons for that one. ### 2/5 — Horribly slow *2025-12-10, version 4.0.7* Greatly appreciate being able to access the contemporary scores that are hard to find elsewhere. I’ve paid for nkoda for a few years now. But now I have an iPad which should make using nkoda easier, I’ve found this app is sluggish and takes forever to load even downloaded scores. It’s a slog, and for the first time I’m considering unsubscribing to nkoda. Once app is optimised I’ll reconsider. ### 3/5 — 구독취소 *2025-11-26* 결제 된 후 바로 구독 취소하였습니다 환불 부탁드립니다 **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. Please email our friendly customer support team on support@nkoda.com and someone will be able to assist you :) ## Frequently asked questions about nkoda ### What is this app?
