Doesn’t open photo

This app needs a lot of updates and fixes; it crashes when you try to open a photo score.

It is heavenly angelic good

I like it soooo much! I highly recommend this! This is totally good! Get it, Please!

PDFS? why not?

The upgraded PhotoScore has sooo much potential, but it can’t read PDF’s. Why not? Adding the step of screenshotting each page Ned loading the photos is getting so frustrating I’m just using the MacBook instead

Good

The app is good. It’s not the best but it’s OK. It wasn’t set up very well, but it works good like when I take a picture of sheet music and then I click the play button. It plays the picture that I took very well. The app looks like it was made for a computer screen on my phone. It is very big and some of the words are cut off and you can’t see them very well, the app does sometimes crash, but besides for that, it’s very good. developers if you could please improve these things that I mentioned app sometimes crashes and font is cut off by screen.

Some minor issues

Mainly find handwriting at the bottom of the screen with nowhere to rest my hand quite tricky if the input area could be in the middle of the screen that would work better for me

Very disappointing

I spent 1500 pounds on a new iPad and an Apple Pencil to run this app and it really doesn’t work. It simply is so inconsistent in picking up the pencil that it is more trouble than it is worth. I. Ertainly won’t be wasting any more money buying full app.

Not free- cost $20.97

There was no indication given that the App costs money and actually stated it was free so was very surprised and annoyed to see a PayPal charge of $20.97. Apple you need to pick up your game. This is very misleading and should disclose a pay requirement prior to committing to installation.

Piss poor handwriting recognition

This would be great if it worked better. Problem is, it makes all sorts of bad recognition errors that are very difficult to correct. It wastes more time than it saves, just to fix the errors. There should be a way to edit the score easily like with cut copy and paste, replace, etc., so that writing recognition errors can be quickly corrected. Instead I often find the need to erase a whole bunch of stuff and redo it. Some stuff cannot be corrected practically.

In summary, the concept is great, especially with the Apple Pencil. The problem is, recognition is terrible, even when it should be plainly clear.

I wish this app worked

It’s a great idea, but it doesn’t work at all. Quarter notes and rests look nothing alike. Eighth notes look nothing like quarter rests, whole notes look nothing like quarter rests. The only pitches it recognizes, and not even constantly are c and d below the treble. The ap is a great idea and I prefer notating by hand, but it just doesn’t work. An idea isn’t a product.

Ist überhaupt nicht mehr zu öffnen....

Ist überhaupt nicht mehr zu öffnen...., es sei denn, man deinstalliert und installiert neu. Das lässt schon mal nichts Gutes Ahnen.
Dann Noten eingegeben (Apple iPad Pro 2018, also mit Apple-Stift II, dürfte - fast - state-of-the-art sein).
Kurz gesagt: es ist eine Qual.
1. Will man aus einer ¼ eine ⅛ Note machen (man zeichnet ja das Fähnchen erst als zweites, wenn der Hals schon da steht), dann weigert sich das Programm nachhaltig, KEINEN Zweiklang daraus zu machen.
2. Warum hält sich das Programm nicht an inzwischen übliche Normen bei der Benutzung des Apple-Stiftes II:
- Doppeltip auf die Spitze des Stiftes wechselt zum Radiergummi (in NotateMe Now: unbekannt).
- Handballen auf der Schreibfläche ist deaktiviert, daher verschiebt das Blatt sich auch nicht unwillkürlich (in NotateMe Now: unbekannt...)
Das Ganze ist daher nicht wirklich hilfreich. Ich erspare es mir, die Vollversion auszuprobieren, da gibt es inzwischen andere Programme, vielleicht sind die ja ihr Geld wert...
Schade, wäre schon fein gewesen.

Stay away from this app for now.

It looks like this app was abandoned like 3 years ago.

Super free Ware

Super free Ware , auch die kauf Version ist ihr Geld wert

Incredibly frustrating to use

I used to use NotateMe on a Samsung Galaxy Note a few years ago, and remembered it being a little aggravating to learn how to write so the app could understand, but basically useable and useful for transcribing before doing the rest of the work in Sibelius. I installed the free version on my iPad Pro, expecting it to have hopefully improved and to work reasonably well with the Apple Pencil, but..... ugh. It’s such a pain!
I have trouble writing dotted rhythms because it doesn’t recognize my dots, no matter how big or small I try to draw them. If I want to write 16th or 32nd notes I sometimes have to try over and over and over to draw the beams, because it doesn’t recognize them; or some of the notes under them just disappear for no reason I can see; or extra partial beams get added in random places; or accidentals or extra slurs or extra rests in other voices show up out of nowhere. I have to make note stems absurdly long to get it to work, except that for beamed groups that go between the top and bottom of the staff I start running out of space in the writing area, which is oddly skinny given how much screen space there is available. Sometimes I have to write the same thing six times in a row before I get it to say what I want. I think my handwriting at this point would satisfy any theory teacher I’ve ever had, and the app still can barely decipher it.
It also crashes a lot, no matter what I quit out of in the background. And it has stopped playing back from the edit view, and will only play back from the formatted score now.
The only reason I give it two stars instead of one is that for music with only a single voice and no complicated rhythms it’s OK.
The only reason I’m still using it is that I’m trying to transcribe a Bach violin partita in order to ultimately arrange it for a different instrument and I don’t feel like hunting down another app.

👎

This app is horrible. It’s absolutely useless.

Very good for free

For me the functionality you get for no charge is very good. I’m pretty sure I shall update as I what some of the functions that you have to pay for.
I expect that for more experienced musicians it’s quite clunky, but compared to the programme I paid for on my pc (which won’t run on iPad) my first experiences have been positive. The photoscan can be brilliant, but also seems to have problems when there are instructions in words, or there are a lot of rests between the notes. As a free ap I think it’s great.
