Ratings and reviews

Perfect for my needs (especially on PC) but very clunky on a phone (unsure about tablet). You have to zoom all the way in to ensure your note gets placed where you want it. Maybe they could implement some sort of pointer feature since your finger is always going to block your view. Trying to pan around often ends up in wacky note placement. I say this app is good in a pinch for little things but might be too frustrating past that. If you can, give it a shot on a larger screen 👍

Opens midis files into sheet music pretty well but it's difficult to then edit the score

The opening of the menu with every note tap is unnecessary and blocks the bar from more writing. Also, it still says you should right click even when running on a touch screen. As far as android notation goes, it's still not enough to be fully functional. Pen gestures and usage like in Staff Pad (IOS) is a must for serious musicians on the go
