I used the free version. It was okay, but too limited. Take the picture of one page of the music sheet and that's it. Your privilege to try another page, let alone other song, it's over. Pay for premium if you want more. The scanned music is transformed into a new digital format, I didn't see the actual music sheet with the words, only music notes. I found another app and uninstalled this one.

I got this app specifically to use it for scanning my sheet music so I could better understand how to play it for a passoff. In short, the app had issues correctly copying the sheet music after multiple attempts . I'd erased my counts on it, i tried fixing the lighting and positioning of the paper and etc. After trying all three types of music scanning, the app offers, and the two attempts each it gives you before you have to pay . And It still didn't work.😥

It only allows you to upload a single page per "song" meaning you cannot upload an arrangement to play in its entirety in one song. You have to start and stop each page as its own song. I don't understand who thought this would be sufficient for anyone.
