Never really run out of music to play. They could do a few things to improve the app. Tapping the D.S. sign should jump you to the Segno. The same with getting to the Coda. It’s tough on a longer song to jump around. They could also roll that feature out to repeats that span across pages. General search can also be improved to catch misspellings or commonly missearched music. Search should be universal and show music from all set lists and favorites segmented out from a common search no matter what screen you are on. Please allow to see more from an artist from within a set list. Finally, allow annotations with an Apple Pencil or similar. Would help to take notes on the music. ### 3/5 — It Use To Be the Best *2026-07-09, version 3.7.2* I am so sad that the best online sheet music company that provided within the Sheet Music opportunities to Transpose to a different key, have multiple skill levels, the ability the resize the notes and the ability to listen to the song as it plays through the music. Some of these still exist, but the majority of these options have changed with a lot of their songs since their last update. I have been a member for over 3 years. I wish the Developers could return back to what once made it great!! ### 4/5 — Printing option *2026-06-20, version 3.7.2* It would be better if we could print the piece we purchased. You would sell more sheets. ### 3/5 — Lack of customer service contact *2026-06-17, version 3.7.2* I have been a customer using their PASS subscription and have had issues contacting customer service. I have no idea why some titles that show they are available in the PASS options will not load. Again, no one has ever responded to my emails. ### 3/5 — Songs won’t load *2026-06-01, version 3.7.2* I subscribed to Pass and not sure that it’s worth it because every other song I try to pull up just sits there loading for several minutes until I give up and pick a song that will load. But out of the collection I have been able to get to load I’ve been really happy. Way better than buying loads of piano sheet music and books. They just need to make sure all the songs are loading properly. ### 3/5 — Good enough *2026-05-24, version 3.7.2* Wish there was a way to annotate the sheets… ### 2/5 — Download isn’t easy *2026-05-23, version 3.7.2* App needs to be improved. I tried to select a song and it wouldn’t download and I couldn’t print it ### 3/5 — Quite clunky *2026-05-19, version 3.7.2* Search facility not very good for filtering my difficulty and search should search the store and library in any mode rather than having to go the right category first ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-03-18, version 3.7.2* One song opens but I can’t play it, adjust options, or anything. Another just loads forever and never opens at all. Closing and reopening the app does nothing and it’s the same problems without any changes. Not going to try getting any more. ### 1/5 — Print music *2026-03-17, version 3.7.2* I just bought music, can’t get it to print ### 2/5 — App support *2026-03-16, version 3.7.2* This app used to be amazing. But they’ve since stopped supporting new titles within the app. Such a disappointment. ### 2/5 — Songs won’t load *2026-03-05, version 3.7.2* Cancelling my subscription extremely frustrating songs keep getting stuck on a blank screen when trying to open them ### 1/5 — Brilliant when it works *2026-02-27, version 3.7.2* Often seeing songs that get stuck at opening unfortunately ### 4/5 — Baby Blue *2026-02-12, version 3.7.2* Music is good, app hesitates when turning pages ### 1/5 — Needed to print and cannot *2026-02-07, version 3.7.2* I’m still trying to learn the piano and love new music. But I’m unable to navigate this to really help me with new music. Will go back to purchasing printed sheet music and cancel immediately. ### 1/5 — Pass doesnt work *2025-12-03, version 3.7.2* Tried multiple times, pass does not link ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — PDF abre em branco *2026-08-13, version 3.7.2* Parece ser bom, mas não aparece as notas que escreve no iPad com Apple Pencil, o PDF abre em branco no aplicativo ### 1/5 — Sheet music won't load *2026-07-24, version 3.7.2* The sheet music I search on this app no longer displays, this has been the case for the last 2-3 weeks. I have to visit the website and search for it which doesn't offer the same conveniences. ### 1/5 — Won’t load music *2026-05-26, version 3.7.2* Installed, logged in, viewed exactly one piece of sheet music successfully. The second piece I tried won’t load and hangs forever trying to load. ### 1/5 — Music doesn’t load *2026-04-28, version 3.7.2* I paid for music on the app and I won’t load! I feel scammed. ### 1/5 — Unfortunate New Problems *2026-04-20, version 3.7.2* I’ve been a huge fan of this app/service for along time. Unfortunately, something is happening now where newer music isn’t loading. It’s very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Pass does not show up, help link broken *2026-04-16, version 3.7.2* Checked my account online and my password sub is active. But the app does not recognize that I have a pass subscription. It just says that I cannot subscribe to pass in the app. Tried to get help but all the links are broken. Useless app. ### 1/5 — New titles no longer accessible via app *2026-04-13, version 3.7.2* “Our focus is on delivering the best possible Sheet Music Direct experience through our mobile website” suggesting that support for the app will continue to decline despite receipt of monthly subscription. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-04-03, version 3.7.2* Long time user but recently I cannot access any new music. Nothing loads yet I still pay a premium monthly subscription. Very unhappy. ### 1/5 — Lol nothing loads *2026-03-30, version 3.7.2* Guess I’ll be canceling my subscriptions. The music doesn’t even load. Onto the next app that’ll actually work, I’ll give them my monthly fee instead. ### 1/5 — The app doesn’t support signing-up with apple id. *2026-03-28, version 3.7.2* I created my account on the sheet music web site using apple sign up. However the app doesn’t have the option and cannot get access to the purchased is impossible. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best sheet music app ever *2026-08-10, version 3.7.2* This was the best sheet music app l ever used.lt has interesting graphics and you could make a playlist of songs you want to play on any instrument ### 5/5 — importations *2026-05-24* Une synchronisation des fichiers depuis MEGA serait la bienvenue. Merci ### 5/5 — Rhapsody in Blue *2026-02-25, version 3.7.2* I have been using this sheet music app since 2022. I love this app! It has 99% of what I am looking and browsing for. Just now, Feb 2026, I think I found the Rhapsody in Blue piano version that my piano teacher gave me to learn in 1988! I have been looking for it on and off since 1994. I have most of the printed sheet music from her but it’s missing a few bars. I think this one is the full version! I am excited to re-learn this music again! It’s the best song ever. I just love it so much!! ### 5/5 — Service *2025-12-30, version 3.7.2* A little tricky to get the music sheets into a PDF file and then send it to a print store for printing. Maybe this could be simplified a little? ### 5/5 — Amazing app and selection of music *2025-10-03, version 3.7.2* I have the Sheet Music Direct Pass subscription. With this app and my 12.9 inch iPad Pro and a bluetooth pedal I can I am all set to play my accordion. There is so much music available and this app works great. The subscription lets me play just about any song I want. Hal Leonard has a large selection of accordion and piano music in all levels of skill. You don’t have to buy a book and find out some pieces don’t work. Much easier than flipping pages from a hard copy songbook. I recommend this highly. ### 5/5 — 5 STAR *2025-09-29, version 3.7.2* The best piano app in the world ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-09-28, version 3.7.2* I love using this app! ### 5/5 — My lost library *2025-08-12, version 3.7.1* First of all, I just want to thank those that helped me get my app back. I had 79 songs and I found out that the app no longer was active. Long story short, they helped me reset most everything. I’m trying to get the songs synced to the new app. I’m hoping it will let me connect my past purchases. I haven’t played them for a year. Thanks so much! If anyone has ideas on how to songs from google to Sheet Music Direct, I’d be forever grateful. Debbie Salois 😊 ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2025-06-22, version 3.7.1* Really great! Helps lots! 😀 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-05-01, version 3.7.1* Awesome resource to playing guitar --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
