User reviews

Horrible

Every time I wanted to look at some music it re-downloaded the music and took forever to do so. My iPad has a massive amount of available storage and it still had problems. Multiple copies of the music would be downloaded. I never got a single piece of music opened because every time I tried to open it.

Horrible

This is so awful. The fact that JW Pepper puts this out there is so embarrassing. It doesn’t work and they should be ashamed. As an ACDA member forced to use this at conferences, I was reminded that I need to give this app a 1 rating because it’s so bad.

If I could give it 0 stars I would

If Pepper’s goal here is for this app and reading sessions to drive sales, then they should build a functioning app. Every time I use this app it makes me want to buy music from any publisher that is not JW Pepper.

Useless

This app is great in theory, but it falls down in execution. Sometimes some of the pieces will load, sometimes none of the pieces will load, but never do ALL of the pieces from a list load. And even on the occasions you’re lucky enough for any of them to load, it’s a lottery to see how long the app will run before crashing. Even the score marking functionality is poorly executed. It only needs to work well enough to make a few brief notes of first impressions from the reading session, but that’s too tall an order for this app. I’m not a JW Pepper hater. I use their website regularly and order from them often in both my professional and personal roles. Hopefully they’ll scrap this app and replace it with something that works.

Please just let us pay for printed packets. This app is infuriating.
