Kicked Off Account

If your sheet music is at anything less than 4K resolution, don’t bother, because this app won’t be able to read it. It’s handy for some basic work, but expect a lot of mistakes. I bought the app years ago, and now they’ve kicked me off my account so they can bill me monthly. I guess there’s no support from them for the people who helped them launch their original service. Now they just want to reach back into our pockets. Despicable.

Sharps and flats

This app never scans sharps or flaps!

Review

Although this app was very helpful in identifying rhythms, I have found it lacking in many places-such as the fact that it cannot detect flats, sharps, slurring, and even appoggiaturas. Could the designers please improve these areas for a better experience for everyone.

Works well for the most part

Takes a little time to learn how to get the most accurate scans. The app decodes some sheet music and ignores complete lines of notes. Now the in app purchases has increased to 9 different payment options for annual but with no description. Also, last update has made the app say it’s sorry to see me go every week I open it.. Please explain why. Only I’m on annual payments already and I’m not leaving. So explain the 9 payment option not just pick one out of all the same description.

Another app ruined by greed

Why ruin a good thing. I’m a long time user and after this last update, this app has become painful to use. I used to open music PDFs from my email directly from the share sheet but now it does not do that. Probably I have to buy a subscription for that feature to work now?

Hit or miss

When it works, it’s impressive. However, sometimes with perfectly legible sheet music, it is not able to scan the different parts correctly, which can be very frustrating

I can’t get past the subscription screen

I downloaded this app for one reason and one reason only, and it can’t even do what I downloaded it for. I’ve tried so many different apps to read my sheet music. I was hoping this one would work. NOPE. Right when I downloaded it, a free subscription deal got shoved into my face. The only two buttons on there were “accept offer” and “restore”. I didn’t want a subscription, so I did what anyone else would do and I clicked the only other option, but when I did, it said “no subscription found”. I just wanted to see what my music sounded like. You almost had another player until that stupid subscription screen popped up.

Not free to use

Free to download, but not free to use. Need a subscription to use this app.

Sync Issues really cripple things

All in all a decent app. But sync issues between devices really is problematic. Has been for a while - just look around on forums and such. To think there is a premium version pushed before basic functionality reasonably works is disheartening - but par for the course with apps now.

Pretty good but makes mistakes often

I use this app to learn choir music and while it’s pretty good, it makes mistakes on notes and rhythms fairly often. For example, I am working on a piece right now and it keeps reading obvious Eb’s as E naturals, which is huge problem. Because of this my practicing is way less efficient and I’m having to stop and play stuff by hand. I feel like I can’t fully trust it. It would be great to have a feature that allowed me to manually correct mistakes.

Helps a lot

Hi! This app reads for you and gives the sounds which helps to improve the reading
But sone tones it gives wrong tuning of the note on the scale. And sometimes it does not make the midi sound on what you are reading and that is a mistake that we dont want while playing

Sheet music scanner

Love this app…needs a few tweaks but, overall, it’s great for my needs…and pretty user friendly.

Good, but needs a fix

When I open the app, sometimes the subscription ad will not have an X button, basically forcing a subscription. Very good, though

Good app for what it does

I would like to be able to edit some things that are not picked up from a PDF scan. Sometimes it will #’s & flats. Would be nice to make small things that are missed at times. I know there are apps out there that will do this but being able to edit just a few mistakes here and there. A loop feature would be great also

Bro

I paid 5 dollars for this app initially. Over the course of 2 years, everything was perfect; it was all free, and even though it crashes sometimes, it was free. Now I have to pay an expensive subscription just to use it. What the hell. This is probably the worst glow down EVER for an app, why are they monetizing ts?? I PAID MONEY FOR THIS AND IT WANTS MORE?!

Jumped back and forth between rows of staff

I took photos of different pieces of music, and never could get it to work correctly. Also providing only six days off a free trial, and then immediately charging you, I don’t like that model.

Priceless !

Invaluable when you see a little bit of notation in an article on blues guitar say but you need to audibly hear it as well as see notation for it all to sink in. I scan it in and the Sheet Music Scanner instruments internally are good enough to get the feel for the passage....

It’s good but…

It’s fine. As a music student who uses this app to learn music (I learn more effectively by ear) it does the job. However it is in desperate need of an update. It sometimes plays the accidentals in the key signature, almost never plays slurs, and more often than not misses rests. This is quite disappointing for such an expensive app. However, it does do the job, it just takes a little longer. Please, developers, if you read this, let me know when you fix these issues, it will save me so much bother.
