Ratings and reviews

I think this app is great. Yes, it only allows two scores at a time in free version, but you can export them and save them. So, it shouldn't take long to realize you want the paid version. It makes turning your songs into written sheet music so easy, there isn't a huge learning curve. I'm definitely impressed.

Edit: This app is getting better every day. The devs are adding a new feature and/or a new notation symbol with each update released every 2-3 days. I have tested all the notation apps available for Android except one of them (that is paid with no trial), and at the moment Music Writer is in my opinion the winner among them all in ease of use, features, price, quality and any other possible factors. I'm really excited about the future of this app, because it is going to make my dreams come true.

I won't even mention the premium. I can get it (if I have the time). This is perfect and I was DYING to put my mediocre songs into it while I wait for Smartmusic to come up. Really passes the time. Though I sometimes do wish you could do more with it (no premium), but what I have now is fine. And ads aren't too bad. It's not like you can't use this app offline or watch long ads. They're very tame. Overall, would recommend.
