User reviews

Not perfect but it is more intelligent than I have expected

Great app to quickly recognize music sheets and playback. Paid version is required to export but it is a worthwhile feature to have, happy to pay for it. Did few simple scans and although missed a few items but overall it was very good. Make sure music sheet is clean and capture with proper lighting.

Unfortunately, PDF scan didn’t work, prompted recognition error without any further info, remove more more star due to this.

Would be nice if able to incorporate SmartScore Player into this, or create a iPad version of the player. It was great to be able to export .enf files but makes no sense to open and/or play on a PC/Mac, who would put a laptop on a piano?

Didn’t work at all for me.

On two different printed ( not handwriien) lead sheets.

Don’t waste your time

I captured perfectly clear, sharp images. Result? Garbage.

Just crashes

It works for about 2 seconds then crashes

Not a shadow of the desktop version

This app badly needs updating, especially given the release of the new M-1 iPad Pro’s. I’ve been using the desktop version for 25 years - and it’s brilliant. This is not a shadow of the desktop. Smartscore: now that iPads have come of age, port your desktop version with full music editing functions to the iPad.
