When you are playing music, the most annoying part is that you need to turn pages time to time, is not it? Now you don't need to do it while playing - just tilt your head to the right or to the left, to scroll notes down or up. You have two ways to add notes: - share PDF files from Mail, Books, or from other device or computer using AirDrop. - scan paper notes sheet by sheet and the app will create the PDF file for you. Other features: - you can set up how fast the app will scroll notes and how far you should tilt your head - you can choose not scrolling, but turning pages - and you can group notes by folders (composers, styles etc) Let us know if you need some other features via email: dodatoklab@gmail.com We will also really appreciate if you rate the app in the App Store. Thank you!
