### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2026-05-09, version 2.5.5*

This app is completely useless. It does not work as advertised, crashes constantly, and wastes both your time and money. I tried giving it a chance, but nothing functions properly. Save yourself the frustration and avoid this app entirely.

### 1/5 — Seriously?

*2022-11-15, version 2.5.5*

A complete failure. I played a simple tune on my instrument and the result was a disaster. I tried a few more times with the same result.  Anyone that gives this 5 stars must be paid by the creators to do so. A complete and utter waste of money and time. I want my money back!

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい。感謝してます。

*2022-10-24, version 2.5.5*

自分で歌った声をピアノで聞くと、どこで外しているかすぐわかります。お陰でだいぶ歌が上達しました。

### 1/5 — Great concept but poor functionality.

*2022-06-21, version 2.5.5*

The app has good bones but doesn’t pull it off just yet. There is plenty of room for improvement. 
A “No Network” message appears when I try to analyze the song. The timing is off on the recording.
I am sure the folks at ScoreCloud will eventually work these and other issues out.  Nice attempt at a difficult task!

### 1/5 — Don’t get tricked!

*2022-04-05, version 2.5.5*

I was just looking for an app that could record what I play on the piano, so I just looked at the price and thought it must be something or else they wouldn’t put a price on it. DO NOT BE FOOLED. The app can only save 10 scores until it asks for more money, the actual system that listens to you play is rubbish: can’t write chords; rhythm is all over the place; less than half the notes are accurate and it writes double the amount of notes you play and it can only write one-clef. After it leaves you speechless over the inaccuracy of the software, the editing available to the score is extremely limited and very awkward to learn and use. After you have been pained to go through this tedious process you will come back to it after a few days and every score you did is gone... PLEASE DON’T BUY THIS MESS!!!

### 1/5 — Great potential but SO frustrating

*2022-03-08, version 2.5.5*

Errors lost me two tunes.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t get it to work

*2021-10-25, version 2.5.5*

I tried to record a simple single note piano piece just to try it… it doesn’t chart what I play. It charts something completely different. The program simply doesn’t work. I want my money back. This was false advertising.

### 3/5 — Just a Couple of Concerns

*2021-05-12, version 2.5.5*

This is largely a good app. It mostly provides what you need and does it well enough (though it would be better if a grand staff were easily accessible), but it doesn’t allow you to change the type of note (example: I’m trying to change a tied half-note to be a whole note). 
It is otherwise a fair choice for converting tunes to sheet music.

### 1/5 — I have no idea if it’s good or bad

*2021-02-22, version 2.5.5*

I have just bought the app. You can’t use it without signing up with email or facebook. I don’t want to sign up for anything at all  I would like to use it. I wouldn’t mind paying for subscription and so forth but I will never find out if it’s good or bad as I’m not going to provide any of my information and then remember passwords etc.
Hopefully there will be an option in the future to start using it right off the bat

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2020-09-14, version 2.5.5*

This app is really bad it does not have the ability to transcribe chords or or basic movements. Unless you are just playing one key at a time it’s a waste of money.
