4/5Easy to use
I really like the design of this program.

BatZianna · 5 Aug 2026
5/5A little bit different
Well,this program is doing wonders for me, after leaving Sibelius and redoing my music wardrobe. Obviously the programs are different by far. The only thing is the easiness of composing. Not enough alternate keyboard selections, and some of the editing needs to be strong like choosing the right note and with editing. I have to keep erasing notes and putting the right ones in after struggling for the computer to select the right ones. But it is still a great program that i use, i mean i can edit, i can save i can print and i can share. I do however need to take advantage of the program and purchase the true one!!! Thanks !

4/5It’s eh
After using this app for about two years, I’ve come to bypass most inconsistencies in this app just by pure habits like spamming save every 5 minutes but along with that, I’ve gained enough patience with this app to work on songs that I’d listen to and I’ve been able to make good covers with it as well but this app could still use a lot of work with presentation and maybe even adding more samples (?) lots of stuff I’d like to try and replicate is ruined due to the lack of style from instruments but that’s usually very specific. Still works and once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty ok. Personally wouldn’t say it’s worth buying the Full Version due to the lack of updates so far but you can take a video of songs you make and delete them. Also a trick I learned is that you can temporarily have a 6th song by just adding it but after a while, you won’t be able to save or work on anything so that’s just like a temporary test to see if you’d like to commit to a new song. Good luck! -J
