I can find my favourite music, add new music I retrieved from various internet sources. I can link to video tutorials specific to the music I am playing I can save multiple urls as text - it would be nice to be able to save multiple links. ### 5/5 — Works great! *2026-05-29, version 7.0.1* I’ve been using this now for over a year and am very pleased with it. As a bass player, I use it often for practicing and preparing for gigs. It’s especially helpful with long charts or charts with multiple page turns. Using a page turning pedal has been huge for me. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-04-06, version 7.0.1* I’ve been looking for a way to organize and categorize guitar tabs for my band and this is a great app. works well with the Donner page turner as well. Easy to share all this with my band mates too. Highly recommend and a great price too! ### 5/5 — The best *2026-03-31, version 6.0.1* Still The best tool for musicians !!! ### 1/5 — Too early *2026-03-27, version 7.0.1* I’ve barely had the app 5 minutes and you already want me to write a review? ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-03-25, version 7.0.1* This app just never ceases to amaze me. Whenever I’m looking for something that I am expecting it to do, it does it. I put all of my own music and anything that I can grab into this app so that I can easily access it, and read it on my large iPad on my piano. ### 4/5 — DEVS PLEASE FIX THIS *2026-03-08, version 7.0.1* This app is perfect except one thing that is really grinding my gears: in portrait mode I cannot zoom in on the page AND get ride of the tool bar. When I tap the tool bar out, the page returns to its original size. I want the page to remained zoomed the way I want when the tool bar gets tapped away. Landscape mode has a zoom feature that allows me to do this, I don’t understand why portrait mode does not. It’s a small thing, but it’s enough to make me browse other apps that has the zoom feature I want. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-03-03, version 7.0.1* Thanks for keeping it simple. Works great, no hassle. ### 5/5 — Best music reader and annotation app *2026-01-30, version 7.0.1* I have used Paperless Music for over three years. It is the best app for reading and annotating sheet music files. It has everything needed without the bloat of other leading apps. A major plus is that it is a one-time payment, not a subscription. The app support people have been excellent. ### 5/5 — G Wiz it’s awesome! *2026-01-03, version 7.0.1* There was no expectation other a need for a tool to save some effort and paper. What an understatement that said! You have got a 5 star rating from me! Now back to the music….. Keep on Pickin! ## Frequently asked questions about Paperless Music ### What does Paperless Music do?
