App does not open, 3 years since update
This app really needs to be removed from the App Store. Hopefully Apple will remove it soon, would hate for more people to waste time and money on it when it does not work any more.

Doesn’t work on iOS 16
They haven’t updated this app in 3 years! It’s a wonderful app if you have iOS 15 but beware that if you update to ios16 it won’t work anymore and you will lose access to all the songs you purchased

Crashes
I can’t depend on this. My heart rate excellerates because it’s not usable.
Great App
This app is going to help me an awful lot. After 40 years, I am getting back to playing my trumpet and this application is wonderful
Crashing
Backing tracks are really good. Gave 3 stars because the app randomly crashes on any song. Need to force close the app and reopen before every play through to mitigate.
Rip off
I purchased the music and the play along track and all I get is a sample. I thought I get the whole play along track with the audio and the music when I purchase this. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY, this is a RIP OFF 😡
Paid for chart no download
This app seems to be broken. I was charged on my credit card but nothing appeared in my library. I'm using an Ipad.

What happened?
This app worked fine until a few months ago. Now can’t access songs. Server error most of the time.
doesn’t work
Doesn’t work with their $10/month subscription service. Worse yet, I can’t even log in. This is a shame. No updates in over a year, what happened Sheetmusic Direct ? This could be a great app and it’s gone down the tubes.
Server Not Available. Check Back Later.
Can’t use the app if the server isn’t available to actually download music.
Great App to practice
I use this app practice, I do recommend it.
Excellent
I only wish there was a monthly fee so that there was not a 3.99 charge for every melody I want, I want a lot too. Lol
Love this
Haven’t played around with this much. Neat idea.
Great idea, bad execution
I really love the idea of this app and even bought a few songs to try out. However, there are several things that make this app very disappointing, which I’m sure could be fixed. I find this app more frustrating than helpful.
1. Inability to change instrument, as you can do in the regular sheet music direct app. This is very limiting to who can use the app and how it can be used.
2. Even when you select the option to mute the backing track, the right hand piano part sounds. This is extremely annoying for practicing vocals, especially for novices who may get distracted by multiple pitches.
3. Inability to transpose to a different octave. This feature alone would make the app more appealing to folks with different vocal ranges and/or instruments.
4. Songs purchased here do not show up in the other sheet music direct app. It would be great to be able to have all purchased music available in one app, with the recording feature specific to this play along version.

One bad thing
I can’t play songs with my trumpet without paying for a song
Good, Backing tracks would be an improvement
Really good to play against the same instrument to perfect notes and timing of the melody. But afterwards to play as a band member supporting the lead would be nice
Not a good replacement for NOTESTAR
Much less flexible that notestar as you can only have the usual midi file or the vocal-pro without the score for piano! Big disappointment…
Great app!
I love it; however, not a very big catalog of songs to choose from yet! Appears this app is still in it's infancy.
One of the best app ever
This app is amazing! The best play along technique I have ever come across. I normally never write a review, however this app is just so helpful, that I feel obliged to thank the makers.
The app shows where you are on the sheet music, you can slow the tempo, change the pitch, loop, everything you ever needed to learn a song from scratch. Kudos to the developers, thank you so much!
The only minor issue I found with my Bose internet speaker the prompt is not synced.

Truly an amazing app. Cheap and easily accessible sheet music. It's exactly what I've needed
