Ratings and reviews

As a previous reviewer stated, just keeps taking you to your files, no way to open a score. See the previous review was over a year ago and the developer responded to say they're working on making this clearer. They obviously decided they couldn't be bothered. Still, signed up for the annual contract on the basis of mobile functionality. They won't be holding me to that contract if they can't provide what they advertised.

pure bollox - I literally made the best arrangement and it said error 71212 when I tried to save it even though my storage and WiFi is fine and got rid of it all. it's a good app I guess but it's such a hassle and if you want all your hard work to be thrown in the bin I recommend downloading x

It's not user friendly and it's too complicated. It seems simple, but I couldn't even find where to make a new one.
