1. 4/5Suits my needs

   As a music therapist and private teacher, I love this app. I write etudes for students, and use it for transcribing, transposing, or arranging songs. There is a bit of a learning curve to it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I would like it to have some more features, and fix an error. The stem of the note for the 3rd line should be written down when played by itself, but on this program it’s written up instead. Sometimes I like to add chord symbols, i.e. Cm7, along with a melody line, but the letters are written so small it’s hard to see. And it gets covered by any notes written above the staff. Also you HAVE to include a tempo marking, quarter note = ?? Bpm, with every score. Sometimes I don’t need to include one and I can’t get rid of it. For the purposes of writing etudes I would like to include a double bar line at the end of every line but can’t seem to figure that out. Little things like that. This app has been a great resource for me. Definitely recommend it!

2. 5/5Beginner SongWriter

   Love this app. I was watching a vlog on the top songwriting apps and this was suggested as #10. I understand music theory and song progression through learning to playing and playing the violin for so long, but I’ve never created my own music. I’m teaching myself to write music and songs based on my experiential knowledge. This app is amazing for people who can sight read and play an instrument by ear because it so easy to put a note on the page, play it and build on it to make the sound or song as you hear it in your mind. The written notes are placed along a score and helps to remove the necessity of constantly having an instrument available. It’s so easy to use from editing, deleting, adding, saving. It’s so great. Check it out. In my opinion, it’s definitely worth the purchase. It’s not going to create a whole song with the ability to introduce multiple instruments or effects available in a mixing studio. But it’s perfect for creating sheet music verbatim or using it to build the skeleton of a song that you may choose to upload into another program to add Sound FX, vocals, drum beats, etc. I love it. Check it out. I hope I’ve described the app in enough detail on how it’s benefited me in order to know whether it’s a great fit for you.

3. 3/5Wish I could try it

   It’s not fair, I guess, to review something I haven’t really tried, and I hope the “free version”, isn’t similar to the paid version, because it has that quality of sleaziness, trying to trick you into clicking ads and hiding buttons you need to close ads, and throwing up ads with every operation you try to test. How can I possibly check whether I like the interface of something that throws ads up on the screen constantly, requiring I spend x amount of time watching the ad before I can, say, figure out how to write a note? In my experience, this doesn’t bode well for the experience I would have if I paid. I’d love to pay for a simple notation app and this looks like it might have something like that, buried beneath the advertisements, but it says something that they must benefit so much from these ads that driving potential customers away with a blizzard of adverts makes good business sense. And advertisers must know something I don’t, because I get so annoyed by them that I’d never buy one of those products, and it’s not their fault. Business models these days… seems like a downgrade for customers, right? It’s working for somebody though. Hopefully I’ll find an alternative that cares about customer experience.

4. 5/5Very versatile and great to use

   I am a sophomore in high school that likes to create music from scratch... I don’t have any expensive monthly computer music subscription that is hard to use or expensive... All I have to make music with is a tiny 4 year old iPhone SE... I found this app and after I little whole of searching I was about to give up... I downloaded it and found how easy this was to use and how well it put chords and multiple parts together... I have stretched this app out to its limits with its max of 8 parts along with chords and this second line feature that allows you to put two parts on one line... this app almost perfectly read out the music and can handle a simple duo or solo to even homemade symphonies... this app is definitely worth the money but it has a couple of issues with sound defects and some chords that are supposed to work like octave down G chord (key of B flat) on Trombone is very out of tune... along with other chords on specific instruments... And some of the instruments can’t handle fast moving parts... (contrabass is one) But I’ve found this app very useful and user friendly and I give it 5 big ones.

5. 5/5Nice!!

   I am blessed to have come upon this—it has truly given me a way to explore composition and what the human being today can produce through the wonderful mind God gave us. I wanted to write a few requests since I put four stars down. Firstly, I believe, for the instruments and staff, the maximum should be at 25. I have thought about writing a piano concerto and a symphony on this app in the future, but a maximum of 8 staff/instruments will not cut it. Secondly, for the grace notes, I would really appreciate it if you could allow us composers a chance to add more than one grace note to a chord/note, etc. Thirdly, I think that two new additions should appear: an 8va symbol and an optional “change clef” tab. Here’s why: I have written a few melodies that are in one localized clef: they are for piano. While I could add or detract clefs, I think it would be quite neat for an option to change the clefs in any bar or measure. I would like a complete redo of the dynamics (crescendo/decrescendo and dynamic markings and trills). This is where I have a huge problem. The crescendo and decrescendo are only limited to being used on one clef, not both piano clefs at the same time. As well as the dynamic markings, I am sorry to say, is horrible. They are not even realistic, and just like the crescendo/decrescendo, they are only limited to one clef and only last for one measure. Side note: please change the error with the trills—they aren’t even based on the key to begin with. If I put a grace note before the actual note and put the grill symbol there, I think that would be an appropriate way to have a decent trill with the two notes I put in the first place. If you can fix those things, I would truly appreciate it and wouldn’t have to do all those things after I have it printed and have to do it on pencil. God bless; continue making lives better!
