Ratings and reviews

It could use improvements, of course. But it's very comprehensive and user-friendly for the price. What isn't intuitive can be learned through "?" help descriptions. I hadn't read notation in years, but now I'm writing it. It was easy enough to print songs from my phone. Thanks! The Save system needs work. It's reliable, but shows a blank blue screen for a long time before verifying if saving after many additions. It seems frozen until you get used to the delay.

I just downloaded this app this evening and I started using it right away. Didn't even really look at the instructions 😂 Very intuitive, lots of features. If what you want to do is enter notes and hear them play, you've found just the thing. I was inputting tin whistle songs and it even has a tin whistle voice on the midi. Nice.

I bought the full version, I like the app a lot. I wish we could have files in the app itself with our music, that way we can work on multiple projects at a time and be able to go back and edit past projects. I also wish I could make it fit a laptop screen as well. I have to flip my laptop to tablet mode to work, but it would be amazing if it could go both ways. Great price and sound quality.
