app as fake as your life

I’m just gonna flat out say, this app is as useless as you. Just some notes and a white screen

Warum ist so etwas fehlerhaftes im App Store

Fehlerhaft, sinnlos und nicht intuitiv. Verstehe nicht, wie solch ein Programm durchgehen konnte

Can’t delete a note

In a 4/4 I happened to input an extra in a measure. The app seems to figure out and skips it, but it doesn’t seem to allow to delete it. I’m nit sure if there’s a way to delete any note at all.

Cool app

Really cool app

Decepcionante.

O aplicativo simplesmente não funciona.

Bare bones, NO way to save anything

Super simple note/chord entry. No way to save ANYTHING, not even Grand staff template. What possible use is writing music if you can’t save or export?

Desastroso

Un caso. Se bloquea a cada paso.

Really just awful. Don’t waste your money.

Wish I’d read the reviews before I purchased it. Can’t play notes as they’re being composed. Can’t undo. Can’t start playing my song from various places in the composition. This could have been so much better but the developer of the app is just plain lazy and trying to make a few bucks. Glad it wasn’t too expensive but even for really cheap, it’s over-priced.

Response from developer

We're happy to announce that we've released version 3.0 of Prelude, where we've rewrite the entire app. We listened to the opinions of many people, including you, to understand what we needed to improve. We would like to invite you to try Prelude 3.0 and give us your feedback again.

Frustrating

Firstly, you can not specify the key of the piece, adding anything before the time signature. If you require a paid version even for this, I am not interested. Secondly, the tails of the eighth notes if written high, are back to front, as if a kid had drawn them. Not for musicians.

No sound

Be aware that you don’t hear what you have composed unless you pay. Bit useless really. Hearing at least a few bars in the free version would have been better

Good, but incomplete.

The editing of the notes are not precise.
The playback doesn't respect the timings correctly
There is no beamed notes
You can't do annotations on the sheet
The flat and sharp signs are placed far from the note
There is no Tie or Slurs or Tuplets
There is no Staccato, or any other accents (trill, mordent, turn, etc)

유료 구매했는데 악보 그리고 내보내기도 안 되고 단순히 되는것은 악보 읽기뿐... 많이 아쉬운 프로그램이네요 덕분에 시간만 날림

terrible

I tried making a song and putting accidentals onto it, it won't, not only that, but it won't play for me UNLESS you get the full version which is 3$?!?! WHAT A RIPOFF

Dinero malgastado

No sirve para nada, que vergüenza de desarrollador, engañoso. He pagado para la versión con instrumentos y no sirve para nada. La duración de las notas no se respetan al hacerlas sonar.

Don't waste your time and/or money!

I tried entering a simple melody and the playback plays note duration based on position in the score, not on duration of the note. For example, placing a half note immediately next to a quarter note plays back as a quarter then half note. Placing notes is difficult to do right the first time - you'll end up moving notes to their correct position after initial placement. I could not find how to start a song with a pickup note so my first 6/8 measure has 7 beats rest before beginning. This is a poor editor, even for a handheld device!

DO NOT GET THIS APP!!!!

It is not at all user friendly, takes forever to learn how to use, and in order to playback requires a £4 purchase that doesn't carry over key signature. Some parts just don't work, like sharps or flats, by which point I had given up. This app is broken, and a complete waste of your time, extremely unimpressed, fix ASAP.

Not good

Has great potential, but seems like it's just not thought out at all.

Useless.

I downloaded this app planning to write music for multiple instruments together, piano, and clarinet, but I'm unable to change it from having only two staffs. The app won't beam the quavers and whenever I try to put in a sharp key signature, it's one below where it's supposed to be. I'll never have the need to write a song in a mysterious key with only a G# and a D#. The accidentals take up a ridiculous amount of room, and the measure isn't large enough to hold eight quavers, it will only hold seven. I couldn't find a way to adjust it. I can't use this.
