Is that feature cancelled somehow? How can I enable it? ### 4/5 — Glitches sometimes *2026-08-18, version 6.16.20* Very good app, but can glitch sometimes and add extra pages to setlists. ### 3/5 — Fantastic until you need a new device *2026-07-23* I’ve used Piascore for years and love all its cool features, especially creating notes and changes on .pdf files and books. It’s great until you need a new device and need to migrate the app or download it from the cloud to your new iPad, then prepare yourself for a shock. Many of the larger .pdf music books and files will not be in the app, and the ones that are will have lost ALL your notes. It doesn’t fully transfer through the cloud or in Dropbox. Piascore doesn’t offer phone support (as far as I can tell) and the online support does not address this issue. Now I have to recreate notes in 13 books and hundreds of files. Not happy. 🤬 ### 4/5 — Will it ever be Android friendly? *2026-07-20, version 6.16.20* I’ve been using this app for years and I love everything except, when some of my musicians have Android devices. It’s such a pain to be to sharing a link with the songs to some and to others I have to download the songs as a pdf. Please make it Android friendly! ### 5/5 — I’ve used many years, works great! *2026-07-19, version 6.16.20* I think I started using this in 2022 and I’ve played out a lot since then. I import my pdf charts through iCloud and copy them into the Piascore folder, super easy. I love that the background can be inverted to black with white text, very easy on the eyes. Plus you don’t want a light shining from your iPad. I really like Piascore! ### 4/5 — Duplicate scores *2026-07-14* Use app for four years, I love it. I found one problem though: I created few folders with music scores in the Piascore folder on my iPad. But after opening any sheet in these scores via Piascore I find out a duplicate in the main Piascore folder. Why so and how to fix? ### 5/5 — works great for uploading my paper music! *2026-07-14* I love the portability of putting my music books on the ipad. ### 4/5 — 改善してほしい点があります。 *2026-07-02, version 6.16.20* 五線紙をアプリ内で複製した時に譜面の周りが1cm程度欠けるのでセクションマークなどが切れてしまいます。 特に人に譜面を渡す時にも同じことが起こるので困ります。 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-07-01, version 6.16.20* I love the winking function! Please keep it! However it would be nice if it stayed on if you go to another app. ### 3/5 — Good Free Music Score App, but beware professionals *2026-07-01, version 6.16.20* I've used Piascore for a year now and it's been great, gotten the job done. Sometimes it can be a bit klunky to get things uploaded, but otherwise no problem. EXCEPT recently I experienced a really bad problem where after I uploaded over 34 scores, any time a new score was uploaded a previously uploaded score would randomly disappear. Very glad I noticed because otherwise an entire song would've been missing from my set list during an upcoming performance. It doesn't really seem like the app is still updated because problems like these are persistent. ### 4/5 — Great app, but need folders *2026-06-29* I’ve been using Piascore for years now, and it’s very easy to use and functional. However, as I have collected more and more sheet music, the amount of music I have is a bit overwhelming. I would love to be able to sort music into folders, so I hope that feature will be added. The setlist is ok, but it’s hard to find the beginning of each piece. ### 2/5 — Download limitations *2026-06-28, version 6.16.20* I have a folder I created, and it’s not letting me upload any of the songs except 2, without a reason. I’m assuming the file may be too big, but I would like to know why it’s not letting me upload my file for my gig. Over all pretty well put together, and a good app! ### 5/5 — Sepia would be immensely helpful *2026-06-19* I've been using Piascore pro version for many years now. Now that I have turned 50, my eyes hurt a lot when viewing scores with white pages. It would be great if Piascore could implement Sepia tone conversion in-app the way forScore has done it...even if the iPad has Night tone built into it. ### 4/5 — iCloud sync *2026-06-18* Could you please add iCloud sync, as I use the app across multiple platforms? A dedicated Mac app would also be amazing ### 2/5 — No synchronization, no folders *2026-06-06* No synchronization between devices and no folders for scores. ### 5/5 — все замечательно *2026-05-30* невероятно удобное приложение для музыканта!пользуюсь, не нарадуюсь!удобно,что можно перенести даже свои бумажные ноты с пометками,удобно переворачивать страницы.ноты аккуратные,работает без интернета ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Piascore *2026-09-21* Il y a un bogue… plus rien de fonctionne :( ### 1/5 — DATA STEALERS *2026-05-10, version 6.16.20* pretty good app for sheet music but they STEAL YOUR FILES, IF U HOLD DOWN ON THE APP U CAN SEE THE FILES THEY STOLE, THESE GUYS TOOK LIKE ME CHEMISTRY ASSIGNMENT!!!!! use with caution if u have important docs in ur files ### 1/5 — Unusable with Google Drive *2026-03-26, version 6.16.20* I store all my music in Google Drive. The link to the drive from Piascore is very unstable. It works occasionally, mostly not. If your primary storage is Google Drive this app is not for you. ### 1/5 — 메모 안됨 *2026-03-18* 애플펜슬로 메모하면 화면이 확대축소를 반복하면서 메모가 안됩니다. 펜슬이나 설정문제는 아니니 앱의 문제입니다 ### 1/5 — No longer works? *2026-03-13, version 6.16.20* This was a great program for marking music but it suddenly stopped working. This makes me hesitant to purchase anything from Piascore. ### 1/5 — It would be great if it worked… *2026-02-17, version 6.16.20* If I can’t figure out how to use an app in 5. Hours…I will go on to the next one. ### 1/5 — "Free” yeah right *2026-01-15, version 6.16.20* I decided to get this app., reviews were pretty good. The only problem is, in order to use it, or any of its features, you have to upgrade for $5.99 (I think that’s how much it was) Just charge me up front. This makes it feel like a rip off. ### 1/5 — 악보에 필기가 자꾸지워져요 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅜㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ *2025-12-08* 중요한 내용들 필기하면 자꾸 한 획이 지워져있어서 당황스러울 때가 많아요 ㅜㅜㅜㅜ그것 빼곤 다 좋은데 제발 개선해주세요 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ ### 1/5 — 화면 ui 글자가 너무 지나치게 작아서 불편하다 *2025-12-02, version 6.16.20* 화면 ui 글자가 너무 지나치게 작아서 불편하다 ### 1/5 — Can’t cancel subscription *2025-10-15, version 6.16.20* Yes, its features work. But the app is built so weirdly that I can’t find a way to cancel my existing subscription through its app nor website. When I contacted their support team, they told me “sorry we don’t know, please contact apple support”. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sugestões *2026-09-21* Seria muito bom poder deixar o teclado menor quando necessário, até pra usar mais oitavas dele e usar duas funções ao mesmo tempo, como o metrônomo e o teclado. O metrônomo não é intuitivo. Dá um pouco de trabalho mudar a velocidade ou simplesmente diminuir o andamento ### 5/5 — Very Good *2026-09-21* A pretty useful app for musicians ### 5/5 — Great sheet music app *2026-09-20* I have been using this app for a few months now since I got my iPad. I’ve been using it primarily for barbershop music and for harp music. I love how easy it is to import my pdfs, make notations, make set lists, and navigate between different pieces. I really appreciate that you can create bookmarks to certain pages or songs within a collection, and shortcuts between pages. I have also used the page turning feature for performing piano music. It works pretty well, although if you accidentally turn the wrong way or at the wrong time, it takes a while before it will let you turn again. Don’t ask me how I found that out. (It was an exciting performance!) Anyway, there are a few little things that could be improved, but for a free app, I’m super happy and satisfied with the features and performance. I would definitely recommend it! ### 5/5 — 大好き *2026-09-20* 趣味で演奏をする者です。実家に帰ってピアノを弾く時、スタジオを借りてギターやピアノを弾く時、楽譜を一冊も持たず、このアプリを入れた端末一つで十分足りるため、とても気に入って長年愛用しています。 ネットで購入したデジタルの楽譜もスムーズにPiascoreに表示することができますし、なによりアプリの挙動がとても軽く、ページをめくったり探したりが大変快適です。 譜面への記入もできますが、紙の書きやすさには敵いませんので、レッスン中の曲に関しては私は紙を使用しています。 楽譜の一覧も、図書館の雑誌コーナーの棚のような見た目をしていて気に入っています。 安くて便利で、演奏の趣味がある人にぜひぜひ使って欲しいすばらしいアプリです。 ### 5/5 — Never Failed *2026-09-19* Ive used this app since like 2017. Its never onced crashed or failed me, and Ive never been jealous of my other friends having the (other) app that does the same thing. I still use it for live gigs all the time. Its simple, clean and customizable. I like the idea of tags, and appreciate the playlist settings. I use a simple bluetooth page turner with it, and write notes for myself on the music all the time. I hope it stays around for ages more. Im running it still on an ipad pro 2nd gen (please keep the backwards compatibility I pray!) ### 5/5 — Piascore Smart Music app *2026-09-12, version 7.0.2* It works very well and easy to use. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Solid choice *2026-09-04, version 6.16.20* Pro musician here - been using PiaScore for years. Solid choice, excellent tools for annotation, setlist management. Runs well on older iPads as well - extending their useful life. HIGHLY recommend! Definitely WORTH PAYING FOR THE UPGRADE. Just discovered you can transfer entire playlists - including the underlying separate pdf files - from one iPad to another when both are running PiaScore. An absolute game changer for, since I use an 2nd (older) iPad as a backup. ### 5/5 — I can carry ALL of my choir music with me! *2026-09-02, version 6.16.20* I mainly use this app for singing and taking notes. I’ve been using it for 1/2 year now and I have figured out how to download mp3 and attach to the pdf form too. That’s been the most convenient thing ever! I have not downloaded YouTube videos in fear of using storage space. Taking notes is not as straightforward as on paper form but I can put up with it in the slower chorus group. My problem is I can’t seem to sync the app between iPad and my iPhone. So all the music is on iPad and not on the phone even through the same app is downloaded and both in iCloud storage. Any tricks? TIA ### 5/5 — Pro app for Pro Musicians! *2026-08-12, version 6.16.20* Just my opinion - but it’s not glitchy - does the trick and spares me the drama of rummaging through the archives x John Edward Croker, BMus (Hons), PGCE Music, QTS. ### 5/5 — Such a good free app *2026-07-30* Used Piascore for a good few years as I didn’t want to buy ForScore and it served me very well. Just splurged on ForScore and honestly Piascore has all the same core features for free and with an easier user interface. I’m refunding ForScore and sticking with Piascore. Only slight annoyance is no cloud syncing, but otherwise it’s great. For a free app with no ads this is so so good. It does the job, opens my sheet music, easy to turn pages on screen, using a page turner pedal, or face gestures, easy to use and responsive markup with my apple pencil --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
