Bugs
I can’t create folders because the app just crashes. I constantly have to close out the app and reopen it because it won’t switch between write and erase on double tap of the apple pencil and some times when choosing a different color for ink it just keeps using the same color I had it on previously even though the app shows a different color being selected.

Needs some work, but a good start.
I’m a comoser, I travel a lot and don’t like having to lug a computer around so I can use finale/sibelius. So in theory a no-nonsense music-friendly app like this makes sense. Things I have liked so far:the copy/duplicate option using lasso, and the fact that this app doesn’t try to turn everything you write into professional looking typeface that can be rendered as xtml or midi etc. I also like the templates and the library setup. Things I don’t like: undo function needs to be better and more easy to access, and using the lasso and copy every time you want something off the clipboard is tedious, surely one click should be all I need ? Also, some other types of noteheads, including a stemless notehead would be nice, to be honest no one needs the stems anyway if they aren’t customisable, so just ditch them. Some quarter tone accidentals would be nice too I suppose, yes, I know I can make my own clipboard, but improving the built in one would be nice…. A library of woodwind/brass fingering fonts woul be good, or just a blank one that can be customised. Anyway, a good start Chaps, I’m looking forward to trying to use it on holiday soon….,

This app actually is life changing
This is the best music notation app for people who love to hand write. I’ve had issues with my files being deleted off of my iPad but this app makes sure they’re not deleted. You can export straight to PDF and email it to yourself. The copy, paste, and moveable text feature is so handy and time saving. This app is perfect!

Ugh
This has been working well for my needs as a music ed student, but I’ve noticed I’m not able to name my file folders for some reason. Not sure if this is a bug or I’m just too dumb to figure it out, but I would really like this feature so I can organize between dictation practice, assignments, notes etc. I can name each individual piece, just not the folders. I would also absolutely love a layout option with half staves and half normal writing lines (left and right side) like a descant for theory note taking!!
Recently I also experienced a bug where somehow all of my writing was slid over going off the page and disappearing when I re opened the app, basically deleting all of my notes. This was actually super inconvenient since I had to get the notes back from a friend and write them all over again, which is why I took off a star. Super weird.
Edit; this happened again with a mini composition assignment and actually screwed me over so bad. It’s like it gets stuck in landscape mode while in portrait, but stays that way regardless of orientation, making it impossible to access notes all slid off the page and no longer on the staff. Can’t risk the glitch happening again so I will be switching apps. ):
