Good basic reader
This is a solid app for creating, importing, and exporting tunes or books, and also for previewing them. My first gripe: if you import files written with an older abc spec it won’t read past the error—in fact it doesn’t even tell you what the error is. That means I have to “prep” it on EasyABC first. My second gripe: no support for multi voice (e.g. SATB grandstaff). It’s like they only included the most functionality of the code, and ABC is capable of doing so much more. But, for the MAIN reason I got it, it is more than adequate.

Small Note Heads
Why are all the note heads so small? Would be much easier with larger note heads.
Doesn’t cover Concertinas!
Good over all, but does not cover concertinas, especially CG Anglo Concertinas!
Err
App does import complete abc collection files properly. Not all abc tunes get imported.
Unique and Indispensable, with some glitches
Must have for anyone with more than a handful of tunes, and a great help when learning them - particularly for the musically challenged like myself. There’s nothing else quite like it on i(Pad)OS, and the latest version finally supports collections.
Would love to give 5 Stars but there are some nags:
- setting markers when selecting parts/bars for playback is unintuitive and capricious
- selections that start with pick-up notes don’t loop properly (there’s a short pause that messes up timing). Please fix!!
- multiply editing and saving a tune can create multiple copies
- GUI could be a bit more intuitive/standard in some places, although it by and large works really well.
