Scaling is terrible
Half the time you can’t adjust the music to read correctly
Cannot purchase entire book.
This just gives you a quick overview. When I click to buy the whole book, it crashes and kicks me out of the app.
Response to Review
This book and the other 2 volumes of The Portland Collection are presented as apps in order to eliminate the need to carry around all three volumes of the books. The app does have safeguards that prevent exporting the music within. This is a part of the royalty agreement made to the 250 copyright holders whose music is included in the books. All of their music is under copyright protection as are the books themselves. The app tunes can be exported to the TuneLibrarian (available for $4.99 in iTunes). They can be medleyed inside this app as can the music in all other apps created by Transported Productions. I suggest downloading the Portland Collection sample app free of charge and then deciding whether the many functions it offers will be useful. If so, you can use the in-app purchase feature to acquire the entire book.

Not ready
Prepare to be disappointed. The Portland collection is a natural for presentation in an app. An app would let you find songs quickly save them print them export them collect subsets together play them and move from one to the next with the convenience of an air pedal device. None of that functionality is available in this app. Without this functionality it's really not clear why this collection is being presented as an app. The books are more easily accessed copied and annotated. And of course then you don't need an iPad. Hopefully the creators of this app will rethink their approach and come up with a more generous user interface in the future.
