As long as you subscribe it’s fine

Sadly even before logging in I was met with ads/pop ups to try and buy the subscription. This happened at least once a minute. It seems like a good software, but you need to upgrade to not be bombarded. (Also might be a glitch but audio didn’t work no matter what I did…)

Very useful but there are a lot of ads

I remember using this for school and it being very helpful to write songs, especially if you know music theory and the grand staff. However, there are quite a few ads just keep in mind.

No sound

The first time I used it, worked fine. Second time, there was absolutely no sound. I clicked every single button to fix it and it wouldn’t. I went to settings and FAQs and saw that no sound was on there. And for context, I had already checked the sound on my phone and other apps had sound, and even the adds on this app had sound. But when I clicked on the link under the sound issue, it led me to an apples page about my phone’s audio, not the app. My phone was obviously not the problem and everything worked fine. The app was and it doesn’t even give an adequate fix. Terrible app.

Good but

It’s good but I can’t write down the pedal and it’s a weekly fee so it’s annoying for that.
