User reviews

Highly recommended

Great app! Easy to use, and works really well. Highly recommended!

Terrible at reading

After taking several clear photos, the app still can’t read the sheet music properly and usually spams random notes and skips lines.

Help feature is bare bones

Sometimes the play score skips notes. The help feature is bare bones. I wanted to find out how to turn off the editing icon on the side of the document because it interferes with my scroll bar, but the help feature was so minimal that I could not find out if it was possible to do that.

Pretty good!

I scanned my music sheet and it should me the exact thing as it should. Although I cannot figure out how to load two pages up there, but that’s also probably cause I did not read the instructions. Also, I don’t know if you can, but I wish there was the satin pedal you could like put into it. But overall amazing

It’s okay overall.

The ability to do many things in the app is amazing, but sometimes the ai doesn’t read the music correctly, has blanks in the audio playing, and the tempo selector/changer is on an odd slide bar instead of letting you manually pick the tempo, which makes it hard to input your desired bpm. If the tempo thing changed, that’d make the app much better.
