Ratings and reviews

You still can't make chords with different note lengths, but the app is better now, with better UI and more free instruments to choose from. The menu no longer blocks the entire screen when you need things like accents all over the piece you're making. The pop-up at the start is kind of annoying, with the tempo numbers being automatically corrected when you're still typing. It's a nitpick, and you can just skip the pop-up and do it in the actual editor. I was over exeggerating before.

this app used to work decently well, and I could add and edit notes and scores. now whenever I try to open a score, it loads to exactly 42%, stops, and then tells me something went wrong. even if I make a score with the app, if I try to reopen it, it encounters the same error. please fix this, it's making the app completely unusable.

A wonderful composition app! It allows for smooth music writing, and provides a plethora of easy to use tools! I use the free version, and it is a tad annoying with my restricted instruments (absolutely no pitched percussion...), but it is absolutely still usable. The only real issue I have is with the balancing of some instruments, though this app is mainly for composing so it's not so much an issue. A very notable one is the marching bass drum. I had to layer 4 of them on fortissimo to hear.

• Settings now has an App info row with the details our support team asks for.
• Fixed: a score that cannot be displayed no longer leaves the editor loading forever.
• Fixed: onboarding no longer starts over after a purchase, and upgrade screens display correctly.
