About this app

Score Creator is a musical composition & songwriting application that is specially designed for mobile platforms. It's a simple but powerful music creation tool that caters your need of writing music on the go. Regardless, you're a songwriter, composer, musician or just a music lover who can read and write music notation, you will find the app a useful and essential music editor tool to compose music.

*** The app's user experience is completely optimized to make composing music on mobile devices easier and faster than ever. No more "tapping and zooming" the screen just to add a music note or a chord symbol. No more "dragging and dropping" from the palette just to add a sharp/flat sign. All you need to do to compose music is just tapping the keyboards (notes and chords) that are designed like a text keyboard, which helps write music notes & chord symbols easily. COMPOSING MUSIC IS NOW AS SIMPLE AS TEXTING TO YOUR FRIENDS!

*** Apart from being a songwriting app for songwriter, Score Creator also functions as a music teaching and learning assistant tool for music teachers and students. Teachers can teach students how to read music notation by directly typing music notes into the app and playing back the song, while music learners/players can practice by themselves by notating their favorite songs into the app and playing along with their own music instruments.

*** This songwriting app is a perfect music maker tool for writing different types of sheet music, including lead sheet, solo instruments, SATB choir, sheet for brass & woodwind bands, ...

Ratings and reviews

This versatile little solution to the challenges of getting a lean, easy-to-master music notation app going on your phone costs only $4. They're working very hard to improve the product, which of course can easily lead to occasional problems. I just found this out the hard way but was extremely impressed with how responsive they were with getting things back up and running. However, I hope they are thinking about making the files a little more easy to find. I've gotten the hang of it myself on my Android but I can see that it would not be be all that easy to convince other users to collaborate and pass exported files back and forth, for example, especially using iOS. So far, it also seems impractical to pass the file back and forth to your own computer. Once you export & start working on a computer (I use Musescore) you probably won't be able to import the file back into Score Creator in a usable format. Now ignore most of everything I just said and install Score Creator immediately on your phone or tablet. For my money it's the best out there .... and STILL IS, as of 4/27/2020!

I am a frequent user of this app and have loved it for a while now. But for some reason after the new update everything is stuck in "Corrective Mode" and the other option is completely gone. This makes everything sound rickety and not smooth. Along with that, I tend to compose for a choir, so SATB, and for some reason the Tenor voice is now in the female register and I cannot fix it. I would love to know if these issues are possible to fix, thank you.

Great app for people who want to start writing music. Has a playback feature that is useful, but not perfect. Has a big variety of instruments and most evsrything you need to conpose music. It is a little limited (only 10 songs, 40 measures each) unless you buy the full version. My main problem with it is that the dynamics and tempo cannot change gradually. Crecendos, Decrecendos, ritardandos, and even Fermatas aren't quite existant. Nevertheless, I recommend this app to any user.
