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 👍

Initially it worked fine. However, when I added a second score I found out that none of my changes had been saved. It appears that the only way to save changes is by saving as a new file. I tried to get help but that's only available if you have purchased the app. Why would I pay for an app that doesn't work just so I could ask for help?! Secondly the pricing is very unclear, there is no explanation whether it's a one time payment subscription or both.

Terrible clogged interface, clearly made for tablet or desktop device. By functionality, its as if it was made in early 2000's. I wrote one note, just one, and got stuck for 10 minutes trying to change its parameters. It's useless, at lest on mobile phones. Two stars are for effort to make it, but otherwise I would give zero.
