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.

I use this to capture tunes from the 1912 Psalter, and it reads them very accurately, especially for the quality of my old music. Worth every penny. I export the file to .musicxml and open it with Musescore3. Sometimes the app plays it all correctly, but the file is not quite right. Still, I have no serious complaints. My suggestion for an update would be to include support for lyrics.

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.

What's new

Improved export to MusicXML.
Minor bug fixes.
