About this app

Notion Mobile is a free, award-winning music composition app now available for Android on phones, tablets, Chromebooks, and more! You’ll effortlessly compose dynamic sheet music in traditional musical notation or guitar tablature with its intuitive touch-based interface and incredibly broad editing capabilities.

With a user-friendly interface and simple interactive piano keyboard, fretboard, drum pad, and even optional Handwriting Recognition, Notion Mobile makes it easy to get started composing your music. You’ll hear your music performed with the most realistic playback possible, using real audio samples recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios.

Notion Mobile is natively cross-platform, meaning you can write anywhere on any device without requiring a constant Internet connection. And when you’re back online, you’ll be able to sync your music notation across multiple devices — either through your preferred cloud provider, or through the optional wireless transfer between PreSonus applications on any device. Start your work on one device and finish it on another. Once you are happy with your creation you can share the Notion file, or export as MIDI, MusicXML, PDF or as an audio file.

Compose, edit, and play back your sheet music performed with real piano and orchestral samples recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios — along with outstanding sampled guitar, bass, drums and other popular instruments. And when you’re ready for more sounds, you’ll find the extensive library of Notion Add-on Soundsets to purchase as part of the Feature Bundle. To save space, the initial app download contains just piano — you can then manage which of the bundled Soundsets to have on your device or keep in the cloud, just tap on Sound Installation.

Notion has been featured in various worldwide campaigns and has won several awards, including a prestigious music industry NAMM TEC Award for Best Smartphone/Tablet App.

Ratings and reviews

EDIT: 28/OCT/2024 i just changed my audio settings to 1024 samples, and it sounds much better. thx. Very good usage. Low quality synthetic instruments. very laggy when playing (Causes timing to be off). very good for writing and reading. will suggest more options for the drum set (splash, mid tom, and maybe others)

So I love this app, but I've got a horror story. I've been using Notion mobile for a couple of years now, and it's fantastic. Like 5/5. The reason I took a star off is because I got a new phone recently and (despite having registered my acount) none of my music transferred. I lost like 2 and a half years worth of work and I have no clue how to get it back, nor if that's even possible. So the app is great for composing, but make sure you save your scores elsewhere too!

I paid the $14.95 to use this in ios on an iPadPro. I have several platforms, including another iPad, Android, and 2 PCs. They are all able to Transfer scores, except the iPadPro that I need to receive a score. I opened a ticket, and they said I have to buy Studio+. It works on all the other platforms! If I can't transfer a score to my main iPad, the usefulness of this app is greatly compromised. The transfer functionality clearly does not work.
