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

How did I not know that this app was available for Android devices since last year?? This is the best Music Notation Editing app for Apple and Android devices, they took too long, but I'm glad that they're finally here! I have been using it with Samsung Dex and it's just amazing! Honestly don't waste your time with other apps if you want to get serious about editing music!

This app is awesome! Instead of wasting time with mindless mobile games, Notion Mobile let's you do something valuable. It is easy enough to just jump in and play around, and it is powerful enough to seriously write music. The interface is very similar to the desktop app, which is great. It is rather intuitive, but if you are not familiar with the desktop Notion you will need to take a little time to learn the different functions. So happy to have Notion with me on the go. Thank you PreSonus!

The login problem has been fixed. If you have issues creating an account on the app, an easy workaround is to use the website to create an account and log in using those credentials. This app is pretty great! If, like me, you get musical ideas when away from any instruments or DAW, this is a great way not only to get the idea down but tweak it and hear it played. Lots of cool features I'm still exploring, but this is a great tool for musicians. Glad I found it! Thanks for such a useful suite!
