Happy so far. Only used it a few minutes and easily uploaded a song by photographing my music pages. It played correctly, highlights the played sections, let's you change tempo and instrument. Also transcribes to other formats, and you can export the transcription. Greatly appreciate the one-time upfront payment. That's why I chose this app from the others. Took about 10 minutes or so to install, but runs smoothly.

I'd give this app a 5, with a couple of refinements. The scanning needs to be more consistent, as it frequently misses notes even with high quality scans. This could be greatly mitigated by adding a lite editing feature to manually fill in notes that the app fails to registet. It doesn't need to be a full notation editer, but to be able to simply color in the occasional greyed out/missing notes would be a huge improvement and I'd easily give it 5 stars. Still a useful app, despite its flaws.

I am an international cantor and opera singer. This app has been super helpful for me in quickly reviewing sheet music and learning new songs. What would've made it even more perfect is if it supported the following: • Read Grace notes • Allow you to choose which voices to play as opposed to all or one • Allow you to choose a different instrument for each voice. I really hope they make these changes as I love this app.
