### 5/5 — Easily a 5-star app for musicians of any level.

*2026-03-31*

This app is fantastic for anyone who works with sheet music. 
The score-following feature is incredibly accurate and makes practicing so much smoother—you can actually focus on playing instead of constantly checking your place. 
The interface is clean, intuitive, and reliable, even during longer sessions. It’s clear a lot of thought went into the user experience. 
Easily a 5-star app for musicians of any level.

### 1/5 — Really

*2026-01-14*

You dont care enough to put in landscape mode? Really, that hard?

**Developer response:** Dear Paul, a lot of thought and effort have been put into that decision, which is explained in the manual. In fact, regular score rotation is easier to implement than the current solution, which preserves the original orientation of the score (portrait AND landscape) and rotates only the interface, in order to maximize screen real-estate. Score rotation goes against some of the core features of the app. I am very sorry this does not fit your use case. I would be grateful if you could nevertheless test the app's other features and use the Google Group or the contact email to report any other issues you encounter or suggestions you may have.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2023-02-25, version 1.14.2*

I have been using Scorewizard for a while now and I can confirm that it is very good indeed. It is an excellent viewer (especially now that it also has sepia mode to reduce the white glare). The import function works very well where it will automatically straighten curved scans, crop them and make them look like a sheet of music. It has a feature where you can train it to turn the pages automatically. You can also turn the pages in the usual way by swiping with your finger or using a wireless pedal. It also has all the usual annotation features that you expect from a pdf reading app and a facility to quickly flick through thumbnails of the various pages in the file.

### 5/5 — Automatic page flip works great

*2020-01-22*

The app can help turn pages automatically once you have properly trained each page with your own playing. I been using this feature for month and missed page turns rarely happens.

### 5/5 — Does everything a pianist needs

*2019-10-25, version 1.8.5*

Initially my only criteria was for an app that I can turn pages both by training the piece and by BT pedal as a replacement for another app that had long been unsupported. I tried a few, but score wizard ticked all the boxes, and a lot more besides...
Support for BT pedal was a given, and training just worked, but then came all the pleasant surprises:
1) Previews - when a page is 75% complete it overlays the first line of the next page!
2) straightening bent scans - scanning from music books can result in the staves being bent, especially at the edge where the bind is. Score wizard straightens all bent staves as part of the import process.
3) auto crop - when importing, score wizard will maximise the amount of screen area devoted to the music. It just works and makes playing pieces in my 10.2 screen a breeze. No longer squinting.
3) import from photos - why bother wasting time scanning, when I can now just take a picture of a page of music, and score wizard will import it, with all the corrective wizardry (pardon the pun)
4) annotation - anything can be overlayed on the music and in a multitude of colours. Commentary or reminders to play in a certain way are easy to add.
Musicians who need/want to digitise their collection, and to benefit from all the aids that technology brings, need look no further than score wizard. It does everything it is designed to do, and does it very well indeed. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Great app for sheet music with auto-page-flip capability

*2019-08-26*

I’ve been using Score Wizard for 9 months and now use it daily.   It makes it easy to carry around all of my sheet music and access it quickly and easily without going through my stacks of books and loose sheet music to find a piece I want to play.
 
What I really like about the app is that I can play a piece on the piano and train Score Wizard to automatically turn the pages at the right time so I don’t have to take my hands off of the keyboard to flip pages.    And I can do this with the sheet music I already have.   I don’t have to subscribe to any service or download selected pieces offered by some service.   I can load the music that I already own.    It doesn’t matter how fast you play the piece.   Score Wizard listens as you play and then flips the page at the appropriate point.
 
Score Wizard will work with a Bluetooth foot pedal to allow you to completely control when to flip pages, but I find that the auto-flip works very well most of the time.   Some of that is because Score Wizard presents a preview window of the next page a little before you get to the end of the current page.   That way, the page flip doesn’t have to be exactly right.   And you can control where on the screen that preview is displayed so that it doesn’t cover up the portion of the page that you’re currently playing.   You simply keep playing using the preview display and then the app expands to display the new page.
 
I’ve done this with pieces that are more than 20 pages long and the app stays right with me.
 
Score Wizard supports a number of different ways to load your sheet music.   You can import .pdf files, you can take pictures of your music and import, or you can load files using the iTunes file sharing utility.   Score Wizard takes your file and cleans up the display and will even try to straighten the display if you have scanned the music from a book where the image has a curve. 
 
The app will also let you add annotations to your sheet music if you want to emphasize something or put in a reminder and you can then remove the annotation once you’ve mastered the piece.
 
While the auto-flip capability works well if you’re playing alone, it can get confused if playing in a group since it is listening as you play.   Other instruments playing along with you will confuse the auto-flip, but in those cases, you can either use the Bluetooth foot pedal or you can touch the screen to manually flip pages.
 
Overall, it’s a great app.   I’ve loaded over 100 pieces into the app and use it every day.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.3 — 2026-08-21

• Fix for rare training takes that could end up empty.
• "Filter Non-Musical Sounds" in App Settings now applies to training as well as following, with a clearer description.
• Large reduction in memory use – safer long rehearsals and performances.
• Fixes: pages with auto page turn off now run to the true page end; no annotation flash between scores in a setlist; discarding system information now also clears the gray mask.

### 2.2 — 2026-07-26

This version includes substantial algorithmic overhaul done with the help of CLAUDE FABLE, one of the world's leading AI Models.
- NEW: MASK UNPLAYED REGIONS. When you use duplicate pages for repeats and endings, this preview-menu toggle masks everything your systems don't cover – so you can see at a glance what each copy of the page actually plays.
- RE-ENGINEERED LISTENING ENGINE. Rebuilt from the ground up: it locks onto your playing faster, tracks more steadily, and when you stumble or jump it searches and re-finds you instead of guessing. Concert mode now recovers gracefully – the cursor shows when it's searching and rejoins you where you actually are.
- BETTER TRAINING SESSIONS. Training now adapts to your room's ambience instead of a fixed loudness threshold — quiet openings and soft attacks that used to be missed are captured cleanly.
- Fixes for organ mode ("Filter Non-Musical Sounds" off) and many smaller reliability improvements.

### 2.1.3 — 2026-05-28

- New toggle in Preview screen: Enable/Disable auto-flip for the current page. Meant for ends of movements.
  - Improved recovery: Score following recovers more quickly and accurately when it loses track of your position
  - Improved stability: Score following is now more reliable under heavy use
  - Fixed annotation saving: Resolved an issue where the Save button would occasionally stop responding, causing annotations to be lost
  - Fixed page cropping: Resolved an issue where cropped pages could lose their cropping
  - Fixed a bug that could cause the app to crash when editing bookmarks or set lists
  - Fixed a bug where under rare conditions the training information for a page was not saved

### 2.1.2 — 2026-05-21

   - New Practice/Concert mode toggle — Concert mode keeps the cursor steady during performance; Practice mode allows quick recovery when jumping around the score                                                                                                   
   - Smoother cursor startup – the cursor now transitions gradually when locking onto the score, instead of jumping
   - Fixed rare crash during page turns in long sessions
