Soooo good!!

This is actually brilliant, thank you, it’s helped so much with my piano pieces and choir scores!!

Not overly impressed

I’ve imported a very simple piece — one of those that you end up drifting off because it’s so boring — and this app obviously got bored too!
It’s a clean scan, but it’s not playing it back properly so I’m going to ask for a refund…

Amazing

Amazing App!

No use

As an experiment I’m trying to upload some music from other apps to try recording covers with instruments I don’t presently play. Playscore 2 has not delivered the percussion I need fro to mimic using a Cajon at all and has this been an absolute waste of time and money. It’s fixated on playing the Songster drum score as piano or flute or so on. One subscription I’ll be cancelling for sure!
