### 4/5 — Glitches sometimes

*2026-08-18, version 6.16.20*

Very good app, but can glitch sometimes and add extra pages to setlists.

### 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, version 6.16.20*

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

### 3/5 — Fantastic until you need a new device

*2026-07-23, version 6.16.20*

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, version 6.16.20*

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.
