### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2024-02-20, version 5.4*

The variety of music is great. The interactive ability to change keys prior to purchase is awesome. The only thing I don’t like is that in order to make a purchase the app links to their online site.

### 4/5 — Very helpful

*2022-01-09, version 5.1*

The reason I did not give the app ***** is because the MP3 AUDIO is poor quality.  I am playing back the music for solo cello. The sound is synthesized rather than played on a real instrument.  I realize that this is a tall order to have genuine instruments.  But I assume that you may have access to a higher quality synthesizer.

### 2/5 — MP3 Does Not Work

*2021-03-07, version 5.0.3*

I purchased this App for the mp3 option. Please fix it as soon as possible.

### 2/5 — Only 56 Song PDF Viewer

*2018-07-27, version 4.11.5*

I was hoping for an app that showed me an advertisement then opened free sheet music in landscape mode scrolling at an adjustable tempo on my iPhone 5s. Instead it only shows the entire PDF too small to see with a tap to page turn feature for only 56 free songs. Maybe good for an iPad and a little fun but not otherwise.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2017-09-13, version 4.11.5*

I want so much to love this app but I had to delete it because it keeps crashing!

### 2/5 — No double page

*2015-12-05, version 4.9*

No way to display double pages in portrait mode, on my iPad Pro.

### 4/5 — V sheet music

*2015-10-22, version 4.9*

It works quite well it would be nice to see it on a larger screen though. I am using an iPad but if you were using an iMac it would be sufficient. Very convenient to download sheet music without having to go to the store to buy it.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2015-10-14, version 4.9*

I am enjoying this app which allows me to sample and learn a wide variety of music. The current version no longer sends email - please fix. A suggestion - from an instrumentalist's point of view, placing the solo music first would be nice. That would recognize the instrumentalist may be more apt to select the music than the accompanist, and there are fewer pages to dig through to get to the other part than vice versa.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-05-16, version 4.8*

This piece of crap doesn't give you any music unless you create an account

### 1/5 — I can't open the app.

*2015-04-25, version 4.8*

I've been playing piano for almost 10 years and I thought that this app would be awesome but the app just closes out when I try to open it

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE!

*2023-05-28, version 5.4*

Do not get this app! It worked briefly - then it highjacked my camera and would not let me escape. Each time I opened the app and clicked on a score, the camera opens and all I can see is me and it will not allow me to escape from that.

After numerous frustrating attempts to get past the camera I gave up and tried to cancel my subscription and I was basically talking to the hand. Twice I was told that if I wanted a refund I would have to contact the App Store from which I purchased it.

I repeat, do not get this app - there are many others that do not that are much better and with much better customer service.

### 1/5 — Save your money.

*2022-01-24, version 5.2*

Didn’t realize that buying a membership only allowed me to access the sheet music library and you had to BUY the music after that.

### 1/5 — Not Good

*2021-08-01, version 5.0.4*

Steer Clear of this sheet music app. First: The app and the website work differently, so you’re not getting what you think you are getting. As a member, If you try to order from the app you will pay full price (for some pieces), but that is not made clear. Deceptive. Personally I do not like to be deceived.
However, in my case when I inquired about this, I received sarcastic, smarmy, and condescending responses from Customer Service. Never had that experience before. Apparently they don’t feel the need to treat their customers with respect. Another reason I don’t recommend this app. I even tried to stop my membership — “not possible.” 
Also, the music isn’t that great. The library is deceptively advertised in that they simply have multitudes of arrangements for the same piece.  I don’t need 17 different instrumentations of Ode to Joy…
Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Full of bugs.

*2020-11-11, version 5.0*

Latest update just crashes continually

### 1/5 — Don’t even try

*2020-08-25, version 4.15.1*

I got the app because I wanted to learn and play more songs, but I saw this app and thought, “Hey this looks pretty decent”. Well guess what. I was ABSOLUTELY WRONG. There were no songs that I wanted to learn, u have to pay to get some of the sheet music, and some of the songs are listed more then 2 TIMES! CAN U BELIEVE THAT? I recommend too not get this app. Worst app I have ever downloaded ugh. Complete waste of my time. Don’t even bother trying to download it and scroll all the way to the bottom. Cuz I’m the end, u probably won’t get a lot of the songs u wanted to learn on this dumb app.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2020-04-07, version 4.15*

Got the membership because I was looking for some sheet music for quarantine, but the free music is very limited. If you’re looking for contemporary pieces or musicals they all cost money, and when I asked for a refund the customer service person I talked to was very rude. SAVE YOUR MONEY!

### 1/5 — Way too expensive

*2019-12-16, version 4.13*

You could just go on YouTube. I’d much rather go on YouTube or internet to find music

### 1/5 — Trash

*2019-07-07, version 4.12*

Just so annoying

### 1/5 — No good music

*2019-06-20, version 4.12*

No music from this century not good nags you to pay after a while

### 1/5 — Bye bye moneyz

*2018-07-20, version 4.11.5*

I downloaded it, hoping 4 free or inexpensive music, and the first thing I looked up was five dollars! Being a person without a job (due to age, not insecurity, a bad record with the police or anything else, just to be clear), neither I nor my family can afford to pay fifty dollars a month for the amount of music that I like to play, or the nearly forty dollars for a membership. I would love to use this app if the music was a lot less expensive. Thank you for reading my overly long review.

### 5/5 — Great Resource

*2023-07-29, version 5.4*

As a beginner cellist VSM and the app has been great. The piano accompaniment tracks are wonderful. The music choices are fantastic. Thank you.

### 5/5 — People are stupid.

*2022-10-29, version 5.3.8*

Some stupid people in the reviews are mad that they have to pay, just screenshot it and then print it idiot, lol. Anyways, good app.

### 5/5 — New version 5 works great

*2020-10-31, version 5.0*

The new version 5 works great, no complains.

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2018-12-19, version 4.12*

I have subscribed to Virtual Sheet Music for 3 years. It has an excellent range of classical music all in one place. The website has lots of useful tips as an adjunct to learning and playing new music. I am extremely happy with my subscription.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-05-29, version 4.11*

Great font for the music.

Great playback on the score.

Couldn't ask for more.

### 5/5 — Great Site and App

*2016-02-10, version 4.9.2*

They have a bunch of Guitar music and different Genres. I would recommend to anyone!!!

### 5/5 — Virtualité sheet music

*2016-01-23, version 4.9.1*

Très belle application

### 5/5 — Student

*2016-01-23, version 4.9.1*

Love this app! I printed my music and played the MP3 as I practiced my favorite song (Amazing Grace).

### 5/5 — This is my go to app!!!!

*2015-12-27, version 4.9*

This is the app I depend on when I'm in need of sheet music I can't find it anywhere else or I don't have it with me. Buy the full version is worth every penny.

### 5/5 — Great app if you have an account

*2015-06-09, version 4.8*

This app lets you download pdf sheet music from the Virtual Sheet Music website.  If you have a VSM membership, there is a lot of public domain (Beethoven, Bach, etc.) music available, for many instruments, for no additional cost.  You can also download special collections. Christmas, Easter, Halloween, etc.  You can buy copyrighted music as well. The music is well-formatted, unlike some other sources which are often scans of old printed music.  I have been a member for around 18 months and think it is well worth it. 
I have NOT had any problems with the app itself.  NO crashes.
