very useful

Not perfect but gets the job done

Annoying

Used for two minutes before I got fed up of the advert popping up every 30 seconds. Shame as otherwise it’s a brilliant idea and would have made my working method much more slick

I really like it but have one issue…

I really like the app and it works well. The only issue I have is with the accent symbol key (also affects the grace note key and others) - it does not seem to function at all - I use Sib 7.5 on a PC. That aside, it works really well.

LOVE!

Makes using Sibelius without my full keyboard at home or work a dream! UI is straight forward and lines up perfectly with what it needs to do, and virtually no lag. Have had no connection issues and setup was super easy.
