Ratings and reviews

For an app you have to pay money for, you should expect it to work. It doesn't separate different voice parts, which is fine my me. The real issues it is incredibly hard to get it to read the music accurately. On some sheet music, it cant read sharps and dlats and it counts them as notes... I bought it so I could save time on plucking notes, but it would save more time plucking them out on a piano myself.

A good app, reads sheet music well (sometimes) as long as it's a good picture. Will sometimes skip rests, and well as not read grace notes. Doesn't consider key signature, so if you are looking for correct notes int he key signature and rhythms it might be an issue. I wish you could make the sound bass clarinet, but does have most of the more common instruments.

I'm pretty disappointed. To pay nearly $5 for a broken app. In one page, the scanner will guarantee to miss 2-3 notes (even though the notes are really black and the picture is clear as day). If you take a quick picture, the scanner will miss 6-8 notes. This is very frustrating because I want to practice songs using the app, but it'll always miss something, thus wasted time trying to take the perfect picture. Please improve the app and I'll change my review.
