### 5/5 — Good app, great support!

*2025-10-25, version 5.1.2*

A great app for non musicians like me who like to sing. An easy tool to play the notes you need to learn, in my case a church choir. When I hit a challenge I shared it with the support team and they jumped right on it! I’d give them one more star for great support if I could!!

### 1/5 — scam

*2024-02-03, version 5.1.1*

does not work

### 1/5 — Very confusing

*2024-01-14, version 5.1.1*

It does not detect any scanned sheet photo properly

### 4/5 — Apple a pain

*2024-01-08, version 5.1.1*

Couldn’t find it and reloaded from AppStore and for the second time all my scores have vanished off What’s my note which is very annoying. Probably an Apple thing.

### 2/5 — No Option to Import Digital Sheet Music

*2023-02-26, version 5.0.0*

The app works great only for hard sheet music copies. I think the app should have a feature to import digital copies this time around considering the app has been available for a long time already.

### 1/5 — New update , please fix the bugs

*2022-11-11, version 5.0.0*

I love this app ,but since today I’ve been having a lot of issues .
The app has way too many bugs ,
I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app several times ,reset it my IPAD,and no luck so far .
I am not sure if it’s due to the new update .
Please try fix the glitches ASAP .

### 5/5 — Best app for a nice price

*2022-04-14, version 4.0.0*

Highly recommended!!!

### 2/5 — ok at times

*2021-12-24, version 4.0.0*

Doesn't read all notes

### 3/5 — Más o menos

*2021-08-13, version 3.7.17*

La verdad si reconoce las notas pero tienes que andar picando cada nota para reproducirlo no lo lee automáticamente muy básica pero se agradece el esfuerzo

### 2/5 — All scores randomly erased

*2021-05-27, version 3.7.16*

This app has a nasty habit of erasing all of your scores at random. This means that if your scores are all pdfs, like mine, you have to reimport them one by one.  This has happened to me twice now. Very time consuming.  I like the app but this issue is a fatal flaw. Please fix.  It would also be good if there was a easier and less time consuming import process.
