Response from developer

Здравствуйте, спасибо за отзыв. Мы нашли причину сбоя — он возникает при воспроизведении или экспорте партитур с определёнными знаками крещендо. Исправление войдёт в ближайшее плановое обновление. Если хотите помочь — пришлите на mail@reflow.app модель устройства, версию iOS и, по возможности, файл .flow, на котором возникает сбой. Будем благодарны за любую дополнительную информацию. Приносим извинения за неудобства.

Disappointed

I purchased Reflow a few years ago through the App Store. It was never great but worked well enough to transcribe drum scores and be able to view them on a screen. Now, a few years later, I open the app to use it again and see that it has changed to a subscription model. Despite having purchased it already, not all of the previous functions are available to me anymore — unless I pay for a subscription. I understand why the change was made but I am still disappointed. I don’t use Reflow enough to justify paying for yet another subscription so I guess I am back to writing out drum scores with pencil and paper.

Your purchase should never have been gated. Legacy App Store buyers are unlocked automatically, and in March 2026 we dropped the subscription tier entirely — Reflow is one-time purchase only again. Open Reflow with the Apple ID you originally bought under and tap "Restore Purchase" — your lifetime unlock should come back automatically. For transparency: every Reflow purchase going back 15 years is grandfathered. We've since added optional pro features (music fonts, Clips, Design Mode) that new buyers can purchase separately, but legacy users can skip those and use Reflow with no restrictions. We've added quite a bit since — better drum editing, rebuilt audio engine, MIDI import. Worth another look. Your original purchase stands — and always did.

설명서

설명서좀 있었으면 좋겠음 드럼 악보 만질수 있는게 이거뿐이라 그냥 사용하는데 수정하는게 잘안되고 재생했을때 자꾸 악보 몇개씩 빼먹고 재생함 그리고 사용하다가 자꾸튕겨서 나가짐 저장도 안된상태로 튕겨서 화병나겠음 그리고 플로어자리 음표가 아무리 찾아도 없음 밑레서 두번칸에 음표가 아무것도 안들어감 그자리만 다피해감 기능들도 다숨어있고 그냥 손으로 끌어서 음표 넣게 만들지 돈받고 이용하게할거면 좀더 쉽고 다양하게 편집할수 있게 만드세요 이럴거면 구독취소 하겠음

리뷰 감사합니다. v24 당시 겪으신 불편함에 진심으로 사과드립니다. 먼저 가장 중요한 내용부터 말씀드립니다. Reflow는 더 이상 구독 방식이 아니라 1회 구매로 운영되고 있으며, 기존 구독자분들께는 자동으로 평생 사용 권한이 부여됩니다. 별도 해지 절차도, 추가 결제도 없습니다. 앱은 이미 정식 버전으로 사용하실 수 있는 상태입니다. 지적해주신 부분들은 이후 대부분 개선되었습니다: • 설명서 — reflow.app/docs에 매뉴얼 12페이지를 공개했습니다. • 드럼 매핑 — 오선 위치와 노트헤드를 눈으로 보면서 설정하는 드럼 매핑 다이얼로그를 추가했습니다. 플로어 탐을 포함해 원하는 자리에 직접 지정할 수 있습니다. • 드럼 입력 — 터치 기반 드럼패드로 화면을 탭해 음표를 넣을 수 있습니다. 특정 칸이 입력을 거부하던 문제도 수정되었습니다. • 크래시 — 잘라내기/붙여넣기, 다중 트랙, 드럼 관련 등 여러 크래시가 수정되었습니다. • 재생 중 음표 누락 — 오디오 엔진을 교체하고 SoundFont(MuseScore General)를 새로 도입해 재생이 훨씬 안정되었습니다. 최신 버전(26.4)에서도 특정 파일이나 동작에서 문제가 남아 있다면, mail@reflow.app 로 .flow 파일과 함께 보내주시면 살펴보고 수정하겠습니다. 다시 한 번 불편을 드려 죄송합니다. 감사합니다.

New user interface a step down

The new interface is far less intuitive than the previous one, making composing and editing on iOS so much more difficult. Saving and loading documents seems especially obscure, with it being far too easy to exit the a document without it being saved. So far I’m struggling to see any way in which this overhaul is an improvement at all - in fact just the opposite.

Reflow

I don’t know if you realize this app is missed up bad. I’ve use this Reflow for a long time and you guys finally working now it’s
No longer works so I want a refund. It don’t work now.

iPad not saving my notations

Notations disappear after I make them. I don’t see a save button. Love the app otherwise

Bad Update. Unusable app

After this new global update the app has become unusable. I can’t change tempo, all windows are lagging. Also earlier when you type in a note, you hear this note, but now you can listen to it only in play mode.

The new update is frustrating

A lot of the new UI just straight up doesn’t work, or is more difficult to use.

It’s harder to write tabs/notations as other things now get in the way of being able to hit the button I am trying to hit and there is no way for me to move it aside.

I am unable to save my tempo changes as it’s just the numbers keyboard but nowhere to enter it.

It’s also quite frustrating that features that used to be free are now locked behind a payed subscription rather than a one-time purchase or given at the beginning

Mise à jour décevante

La nouvelle interface est beaucoup moins pratique que l’ancienne
Impossible d’insérer une note entre deux.
Impossible d’insérer une mesure ou d’en supprimer.
Plein de fonctionnalités ont disparu (slide, triolet, diviser une note en deux …)
Les légatos s’affiche n’importe comment…
La sélection et le positionnement du curseur est plus galère aussi…
Merci de laisser la possibilité d’utiliser l’ancien interface.
De plus, l’abonnement s’est rajouté alors que l’on avait déjà acheté l’application 😡

Problème de notation

Bonjour depuis la dernière mise à jour les signes de reprise « segno »ainsi que les signes de coda se positionnent très mal, ils sont beaucoup trop haut, quasiment dans le texte se trouvant dans la ligne précédente, c’est fortement dérangeant, illisible et bien dommage car auparavant cela fonctionnait très bien.....

Writing a score for Piano

It has been a few years since I have used Reflow. I used to use it a lot and am now getting reacquainted with it. There seems to have been quite a few changes. Using it on a grand staff is a bit more difficult, I’m sure I will get used to it, but there are changes that are not intuitive for someone writing a score for piano. Also, the button for sharps is not working. I hope you put out an update that fixes this soon.

Unusable on iPad Pro

I’m using iPad Pro 5th generation iOS 14.7.1 and it is completely unusable.Tried for 2 days to write a drum score,couldn’t even write 4 bars. Upon installing the link to the video help files doesn’t work.
The help text file appears to be written for the desktop version. Cannot delete files, cannot select a bar by tapping and drawing a rectangle. Cannot step through the bar using arrow keys.
Almost nothing works.
I think this must’ve been written for an earlier iOS, it is by a huge margin the most useless app I have ever purchased.

Still using Reflow after many years 🥇

Thanks for your response. I have a load of crash logs in the analytics that I going to email to you. But, as I was also preparing to send you my Reflow song file, I noticed a spelling mistake in my song title, but every time I pressed DONE after correcting the mistake it crashed time and time again, so this time I selected SUBTITLE before tapping DONE and Reflow has never crashed since🤔 THUR

I purchased this app 10 years ago and it has been brilliant, but just recently I wrote some music into Reflow and it worked fine. I set up another instrument stave to start writing a second part, as soon as I re-selected the first instrument it crashed over and over again. I opened the same score in Reflow on my iPhone and all was well until I tried to select the other instrument- crash after crash!. Please can this be put right.

Lost Documents

Was working great but files have been lost. I know they exist because when I try to creat a new one the program renames it with a number at the end. Very frustrating

Midi input

I have the app on iPhone ;how connecting to a midi keyboard ?

Cumbersome and buggy

Cumbersome controls and the playback stops working if you switch between apps. Sorta important for transcribing… ie: actually listening to the song while you transcribe. No refund option that I can see, will update rating if it gets fixed. Not worth $9 as it stands now IMO

Reflow app does not flow well ?

1: avoid there app version does not allow you to write comments or set out song titles ( naming of a song ) your composing on app , maybe works better on pc/Mac version not sure , but was hoping to do everything I needed to compose on my smart phone instead of relying on having to do on computer ,

Terrible user experience

Have recently upgraded this app by accident. All of my files on here are now of a format where I cannot read the entire piece meaning I’ve essentially lost all of that work.

Before the upgrade this app was amazing - now I’m really disappointed with it

Really like this app

I use this app all the time and have been really enjoying it. There’s really good resources online to learn the intricacies and details of the app, but is easy to use out of the gate. Is a great resource as a drummer to learn a beat and be able to listen to it.

Très content ... avant

Effectivement très content de cette application, mais depuis quelques temps énormément de bugs la rendant presque inutilisable pour créer ses propre partition. Les commentaires ne s’affichent que sur l’affichage « page ». Au bout d’un moment plus moyen de positionner le curseur dans la partition. Obliger d’agrandir pour aller à la fin de la partition. Obliger de sortir et réouvrir l’application pour à nouveau pouvoir travailler dessus. Bref trop de temps perdu. Dommage ...

Bonjour, le problème des textes en mode horizontal a été corrigé dans les dernières mises à jour. Ce problème de curseur est assez étrange, avez-vous plus d'informations à nous communiquer sur mail@reflow.app que nous puissions y jeter un oeil ?
