Schade, sehr ärgerlich

Schade um mein Geld. Die App lässt sich genau einmal öffnen, sowie man nur irgendetwas anklickt, wird der Bildschirm schwarz und das war es dann. Nach Neustart des iPhones und Neuinstallation das gleiche.
Den einen Stern gibt es dafür, dass das Bezahlen wenigsten gut geklappt hat.

nicht kompatibel

Leider funktioniert die App nicht mit IOS 26. Beim Versuch, sie zu öffnen, stürzt sie sofort ab.

Vetusware

Lots of problems with importing photos, crash when accessing the camera, The program belongs to the Vetusware category.

Hard to use, good recognition if…

I’ve tried to enter music with it and all sorts of bizarre symbols pop up, so I’m pretty much given up on that, especially considering that it doesn’t have any pop-up help or any way to really figure out how to make it work. The YouTube video I went to visit was about another app on the desktop.

When I try to take a photograph inside the app it crashes, but if I process a photograph, it’s already been taken through the camera application, it does a great job of recognizing the music—it’s worth it for that, but I’m disappointed that I can’t actually write music with it.

It does what it does

There are surprisingly few programs that transcribe graphical music notation, I guess that speaks to the complexity of what the software does. It isn’t perfect, but with patience, it’s a good substitute for pencil and paper, but it hasn’t replaced my notation software for producing score ps for distribution.

Does not work

This app is very frustrating! It makes too many basic errors to make it usable. For example, it confuses flats with naturals makes many mistakes with leger lines. It is designed to get used to your handwriting style, and even after the learning phase, it takes too long to do even the simplest task.

Does not work as advertised

Buyer beware! Do NOT buy the in-app Photoscore feature! The app is quite difficult to use, and the Photoscore feature crashes every time I try to open it on iPhone. And I only tried to open on iPhone because it was scanning an illegible blur on iPad, and I thought the iPhone camera might do a better job taking a photo of my page of sheet music. The Photoscore pictures are illegible. Ultimately, I was not successful importing sheet music using Photoscore. It seems impossible to get a refund for a feature that doesn’t work and crashes. Disappointing. I completely regret taking a chance on this app. For the price, I expected things to work.

The program is designed inconveniently

I thought for a long time about whether to buy and I still bought it, used it, very much regretted it. The program is not suitable for comfortable use. Do not buy

Pining for the fjords

To paraphrase Monty Python’s famous parrot sketch, this is a dead app. It has ceased to be. This is an ex application.

I thought this app would become a great must-have tool. Instead, it hasn’t been updated in four years. I paid for everything one could get with this app, thinking I was supporting the developers and helping to ensure its future.

Ha!

NotateMe

Keeps crashing on my iPad Pro - is it even on the market?

Completely useless!!!

Keeps crashing/freezing on me! My IpadPro has 1TB of storage and nothing else is running on the background. I paid good money for this piece of crap and am now frustrated and back to square one as far as my projects!

This is proof positive that all Silicon Valley is good for are useless apps that publish likes and dislikes from idiots!!!

Has great potential but too expensive.

This app is really a great concept and it’s fun to muck around with it but there are too many limitations at this stage. Too many things either don’t work or are too hard to get working therefore it becomes useless for those trying to compose. It is very expensive considering these limitations. I’m glad I have it but feel ripped off.

No longer supported

Great concept but unfortunately not ready for professional use. Have not seen any development in quite some time.

Fine line between works fine and unusable.

I’ve used this product for a couple hours so far. There is quite a learning curve. Sometimes it works fine. Other times useless. I would not buy again knowing what I know now.

Impressed

Great app! First thing I noticed is the handwriting recognition is best I’ve used. I love the two staff layout , one for your handwriting and other the computer version. Sometimes in other apps, it’s confusing when the app realize your writing before your finished and you can’t see your original idea, here the staff w your original idea is never changed, it feels like a separate sketch paper on one staff and the computer interpretation on the other. Also very easy to enter notes between existing notes and a separate pen for comments is nice!

Outstanding Application!

This app is exactly what I was looking for!
Handwriting recognition is excellent. Photo recognition app worked amazingly well on some old music books I purchased many years ago. Having the image converted and played was well worth the purchase!

Unbrauchbar

Sobald es um mehr als einfachste Noten geht, unbrauchbar! Beispiele: Die Songtextangabe unter den Noten ist eine Katastrophe, das Programm schreibt die Silben irgendwohin, nur nicht unter die passenden Noten. Außerdem werden Songtexte unter der Melodie und Akkorde über der Melodie ineinander geschrieben, Zeilenabstand passt also nicht. Ebenso die geschachtelten Wiederholungen, sie streichen die Akkorde durch, also wieder ein Problem mit dem Zeilenabstand. Notenerkennung.
Haltebögen werden bei mir immer doppelt geschrieben.
Ansonsten nervt dass alles transponiert wird, Akkorde aber nicht. Schade.
Und das zu dem teuren Preis - eine Frechheit!!!

Notate me

As a learner, I am happy enough with the app itself, with only minor complaints. I would like more features added, but for now, it satisfies my need. My biggest problem is the crashing. It crashes every time I use it. This is very frustrating especially as I’ve spent possibly 2 hours writing something out. I’d also like to be able to import pdf sheet music from my drive and export directly to forScore. Other than these, I’m happy enough so far... pricey though £38!

Useful App!

I use Notate Me to transcribe manuscripts of (mostly) Baroque music into modern notation and have found the app to be quick to learn and generally very useful. There are a few things that can be frustrating (Baroque ornamentation, for one!) and I do wish grace notes (with and without slashes through the stems) were included in the menu of notations you can add -- but overall I would recommend this app. It's pricey, but not so much compared to the heavy duty music-processing programs like Sibelius.
