Out of a page of music the generated 7 bars of gibberish. Do not even try. ### 1/5 — Fake *2026-04-28, version 1.2.0* Unnötig und schlecht ### 1/5 — Not worth $3 *2026-04-18, version 1.2.0* Can’t get anything to upload.

Scam app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-01-24, version 1.2.0* Doesnt work, neither for pic of printed sheets or screenshot of pdf sheets. Just lost money…. ### 1/5 — Can not recognize picture *2026-01-12, version 1.2.0* I used both camera and gallery for scanning the sheet, always said "can not recognize picture". So wasted money to buy this app ### 1/5 — BASURA TOTAL *2026-01-06, version 1.2.0* En ningún momento me dejó escanear cualquier tipo de partitura… no compren ni descarguen, busquen otra app no pierdan su tiempo ni dinero en esta.

So kann man nicht üben. Sorry. Das braucht noch einige Verbesserungen. ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2025-10-02, version 1.2.0* Paid for before reading the reviews.
