Love the app, but one bug.

I love this app and have practiced over 400,000 notes with it. However, on G flat major, the custom mode switches between B4 and B4 flat indiscriminately for some reason. Other than that, fantastic app!

You have to pay to use your pianos input

You have to pay premium to use your own instruments input and there’s just a keyboard on the screen to use for free, I would’ve never downloaded the app and wasted my time trying to figure out how to set it up if I knew this from the start. Completely useless

Good app but…

This is a good app especially to write and practice sheet music but can you make the violin feature free just like the piano sheet music just make some certain lessons of it free but either way it’s a excellent app would recommend to anyone planning to download it.
Balls..?Balls..?

Perfect for practice on the go

Exactly what I was looking for
