Ratings and reviews

I really want to like this app. It has the full collection of henle's library and has many nice features. However, the feature I care about most is the ability to download pdfs, and the app is really disappointing in this regard. All pdf downloads via the app are heavily rasterized instead of vectorized, and this completely offsets the nice typesetting henle is known for. This would easily be a 5 star app for me if they fixed this (or let us download our collection via web browser)

The feature for adding annotations by hand needs improvement. It's often cumbersome or even impossible to write in fingerings or other remarks without the text being cut off, and there is no erase feature (that I can find). Otherwise, the app is great for downloading and reading scores and carrying around my library on my tablet.

Blurry/jagged PDFs. Scans from my phone of print editions look better. Can't zoom in app. This matters if you have vision issues. Can't just buy a score, you buy credits in blocks, so you have to buy more than you use. Having access to all of Henle is great, and prices seem reasonable.

What's new

Thanks for updating to version 1.9.1. This version contains the following new features and improvements:
- You can now search and view edition with fingerings provided by famous musicians in the store and library
- Works in the library are now grouped by bundle
- Other fixes and performance improvements
