A rip off!

Granted I never tested it scanning paper music properly but it doesn’t even work! It won’t recognise anything it scans via photos or even if the sheet music is already digitally and you take a scanning picture of it that way!

I wasted 3 quid on this for nothing!

Wasted money

When it scans at all, the music is completely wrong. Avoid.

Horrific

This app can’t even recognize notes from a high quality pdf. Out of a page of music the generated 7 bars of gibberish. Do not even try.
