MuseScore: sheet music for Negative User Reviews

Beware! Double pricing scamAside from the app being incredibly buggy and hard to scroll, this company’s pricing structure is so scammy. You’ll find that if you pay for the app on the App Store and cancel your subscription, they still have your card details saved on their website, so will still charge you for the PRO subscription if you sign in online. They refused to refund me in full for the secondary charge. DO NOT use this product..Version: 2.8.30

Don’t subscribe free trialI’ve got charged for a free trial, they refused to refund after I unsubscribed, contacted customer service and got partially refunded. Service was okay, not very easy to get refund though, suggest not to subscribe unless you commit to pay..Version: 2.8.28

Poor updateWas a very happy user until the new update. Now, when you want to flip to the next page a simple swipe on the screen isn’t possible as it used to be. This is really important since I hate to have to stop the entire piece just trying to go to the bottom to switch that blue bar. It ruins the experience and makes playing so much harder. Please fix this and make seemless page flipping for better user experience..Version: 2.9.01

Score not available in your countryI’m a pro member. Every single score I attempt to open I get an error stating the score is not available in my country - Canada, even songs that are 100% public domain such as classical pieces. Will be cancelling my subscription if the issue goes unresolved..Version: 2.10.26

Scam! Do not Download!Not safe. Total scam!!! Unfortunately this app has fraudulently charged my credit card. They are refusing to correct this. Not worth the risk. Hopefully this saves someone else a major head ache from charges or losing personal info. Not a safe app to download..Version: 2.12.50

Useless customer serviceMy main complaint is not so much the app, but the company itself. I was on a 30 day free “pro” trial, which it turns out is not even necessary for effective use of the app and sheet music (although they sure make it seem like it is). I went to cancel the day before it ended, but there are multiple steps to cancellation and it apparently didn’t end up going through. Upon being charged $49 I emailed customer support and explained what had happened. Firstly their customer service hours are in GMT time, so it took me an entire week of emailing once per day to get a response. Then, I emailed again just before a weekend and have had no response since (4 working days). The customer service representative was lazy and unhelpful, not even answering my questions and instead sending links to the policies. Extremely disappointed in the service, and due to this (on top of the lack of music available), I would never recommend using this..Version: 2.3.9

ScamI have never written a review on an App or a company before. This company has terrible customer service. Please be very weary when every response that you receive is from “Paula Abdul”- I think everyone here has talked to Paula. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was unable to cancel my subscription within the time frame. In fact, I canceled it a few hours after the deadline, thinking most companies would see I never used the product and it was not what I was looking for. Instead, the company wanted to up sell me on a PRO account and said they would offer me a 40% refund. Ok, I get it. It was a free trial and I canceled 2 hours too late. But the company response was awful. I’m trying to locate what country they are in to file a further complaint, but no one has responded. In fact, I really wish I had read all the reviews about this company before I even opted into the trial. Review after review indicates how awfully they treat customers. I tried to write a review on FB about them, but guess what, you can’t write reviews about them. Hence, why I’m here, writing my first ever review on a company. Seriously consider not doing business with this company- they do not care for their consumers. Or file a complaint and you might get to talk to Paula as we all have.....Version: 2.5.14

Want to love this app but...Really want to love this app. At first download it worked pretty good but since has been the buggiest app I’ve ever used. There is always some issue: the sudden app crash upon the click of any sheet music or function, erratic controls when you flip the sheet music page or try to drag the repetition slides, screen doesn’t flip orientation with turn of device, constantly logs out of account, and right now when I open the app can’t even click anything because there is a small box centered on the page (a buggy splash page?) that can’t be closed out so the app is completely unusable. I could probably list a dozen other functional issues that have occurred over the last 6 months of using the app. When the app does work, I truly enjoy it and hope the developers can work through these issues. I will happily return if so but unfortunately until then this app too maddening to use..Version: 2.3.9

Becaureful before you subscribe.The app it self has no problem but there will be no full refund for Auto renew subscribe even though you didn’t use the service. They gave me 2options for refund which both sound not fair for users when they fairly asking refund. Terms of conditions are very Vague and not clean. Feels like i have got scammed by them and won’t use this app for forever Option a: 10-months additional access + your current 1-year PRO access + PRO features in mobile apps included (by choosing this option you'll get in total 22 months of PRO without additional charges) Option b: 45% refund + your current 1-year PRO access + PRO features in mobile apps included (this way you'll get back 45% of the paid funds and keep the 12-month subscription)..Version: 2.9.05

The app is fantastic the marketing is AWFULI love MuseScore as an app, I have it on my desktop as my main notation software. But the marketing is so unbearably pushy I really want to switch to something else. They give you a full screen add with a fake loading bar when you first open it and make it seem like you have to pay to continue. I HAVE paid already but it took me forever to find the little x in the top corner to close it and LOG IN TO MY PRO ACCOUNT THAT I PAY FOR ALREADY.Version: 2.10.04

Ppl put scripts in the descriptionsWhenever I search for something, there are ALWAYS a few certain songs that are at the top of the results. They don’t even apply to what I’m looking for. The reason is that people copy and paste entire movie scripts in the description, which means that whatever key words you’re searching for, they are most likely going to be in those movie script descriptions as well, making them the first results. You devs probably know this and are fixing a bunch of things already (hopefully), but can you please add a word count limit for descriptions, or at least a report irrelevant content button to songs? Also I don’t even have access to song descriptions on mobile anyway, but I read a few comments of songs so that’s how I know. I haven’t seen desktop version yet, and I’m 🤍ing a bunch of songs before getting pro version so I can download them right away, and I’m very thankful for you guys for actually responding to negative comments and that you are aware of many problems with this app and are trying to fix them. Others devs usually aren’t that involved. So I’ll be waiting patiently for you ppl to smooth out this app, so take your time and fix as much as you can I guess..Version: 2.4.22

Website is better than appI’ve usually used MuseScore on my computer but when I started using the app on my iPad, it’s just ‘okay’. The worst part I found was searching for scores, as it never searches for the name and in the search filter only can search by ‘comment count’, ‘view count’, ‘rating’, and ‘upload date’, none of which search for what I typed into the search bar, it gives me random scores I don’t want, whereas the website doesn’t do this and I easily find what I’m looking for. Another thing is the constant promotions every time I open the app, I get promoting is good for business but I don’t have to be taken to a different screen each time, and then close it just to open some sheet music..Version: 2.12.58

Love the idea but over time this app is not as functionalI used to love this app and it worked well for me. But I’m noticing the past year for some reason I get logged out. When I log back in all my favorites are gone and pretty much anything I’ve saved is lost. This is very frustrating but I went through the process to regain everything that was lost. Now again, when I’m promoted with this flash winter sale that somehow logs me out again, I click Restore (as usual) and now all my favorites and songs are lost!!!! This is so frustrating and I immediately regret purchasing another year subscription for this. Also when I go to look at different songs it is now saying that they are only available online?? What’s the point in having the app anymore? Yes, I am using the most updated version of the app. Please fix these problems!!!.Version: 2.12.45

HiHow are you?.Version: 2.9.09

Very glitchyYour app is very glitchy for turning pages and choosing where to start playing..Version: 2.3.3

Get rid of the “Most Viewed Scores” and replace....With something like “Trending” and maybe even “curated” weekly lists of some sort that highlight the work of unpopular transcriptions that are amazing but haven’t got the light of day. That is my biggest gripe, the best and most unique work is usually a little trickier to find because for the most part MuseScore is very partial towards whatever has the most views. It’s annoying to open the app and the usual same “most viewed scores” greet me. Yaaaay “river flows in you”, “howls moving castle”, Canon in D”. It’s the same three songs you don’t care about every time you open the app. I bet they will remain there forever enshrined there just because people accidentally click on them..Version: 2.12.42

Won’t let me open til I review?!I’ll review later.Version: 2.4.4

Not funVery slow and buggy. the website is great but missing many features of the app, which is a shame because i hate the app with a burning passion. won't uninstall as those bonus features are helpful but i will think mean thoughts at it..Version: 2.0.10

Ain’t What It Used To BeI started using this app so that I could use Finale files on my Mac Book Pro and my iPad after the creators of Finale Notepad threw Mac devices under the steam calliope. For a while, it worked well on my Mac and I could post my music to the online server and then access them on my iPad. Now, it seems clumsier, and I can see only five of my songs at any one time on my iPad, unless I upgrade to “MuseScore Pro.” I seem to remember paying for the app in the first place, so I am certainly unhappy to be asked to pay again. When I have contacted “support,” my questions always seem to be misunderstood and are not adequately answered. After about five tries when I asked why I could see only five songs on my iPad, I finally was told 1) I needed to pay yet again; and 2) there might be a fix for this problem in January. I am afraid to click the update button. So I would have given the app at least four stars, mainly because of nearly non-existent instructions. Now, it gets no more than two, and since it has limited usefulness to me, that’s a generous gift..Version: 2.1.10

This app is so brokenOverall this is an okay app. I enjoy being able to find music then learn the notes and rhymes of the piece. But what is really frustrating is how if a score has lots of parts whenever a new measure hits and you are viewing the top of the score it then instantly goes to the bottom of the score. Also with one of the newest updates I am unable to favorite music scores and the scores that I had favorited before the update disappeared. The apps search feature is also very broken in the since that if I’m searching for a specific instrument with 3 parts it’ll still show pieces with a different number of parts and sometimes additional instruments with in the piece. The search feature isn’t as frustrating as the first two issues. If the app didn’t have some of these issues I would enjoy my time with this app much more..Version: 2.4.8

SongbookThe new songbook which is part of the Musescore app does not allow songs produced in Musescore 2 to down load into the latest version. As I use this for a learning aid to my choir all the songs created previously will not play. Also the down load from a Dropbox will not work this new app is very poor and the monthly charge is not realistic for people just using the Songbook feature. Please bring back the old Songbook able to play music created in either Musescore 2 or 3..Version: 2.8.25

Do not take out free trialsHaving signed up for a free trial, found it did not meet my needs and then cancelled all on the same day, this company took a whole year’s expensive subscription from my account and then tried to negotiate, insisting on payments. Free trials for a month are a clear scam and it’s impossible to get clarity from their so called helpdesk. You can find evidence if others having this experience online. Avoid..Version: 2.9.17

Brilliant concept but glitching for meThis app has worked for me for ages now and it’s wonderful. However recently it has started glitching so it won’t display all my favourited scores or will not load any of them. I have made sure it’s updated and can’t figure out what the problem is. Any ideas?.Version: 2.12.44

Hopeless and a selloutI had used this app for a while, it never had much variety, most of the songs I wanted to sing weren’t there and the times they were they usually had mistakes. This was ok however when it was a one time purchase. However for the price of their subscription the quality and variety of music is poor. If you are going to spend money on sheet music you’d be better just going and getting an authentic copy instead of wasting your time with this app..Version: 2.3.1

Buggiest App I Ever UsedThe following applies to both iPad and iPhone versions. When I first started using the app a couple of months ago I could rarely get the search to work (despite multiple uninstalling/installing and logout/login). And even when it did work the app was crippled with screen freezes and refusing to scroll. Since recent updates none of that is a problem as the app won’t even move beyond the “Network Request Failed” pop-up. Which means the app is 100% useless..Version: 2.0.11

BewareI downloaded the app because I was curious about the song selection. I was having difficulty navigating it and I agreed to sign up for a 7-day free trial. I had a great deal of difficulty trying to print any of the music so I gave up and canceled my trial the exact same day I had signed up for it. Come to find out, there was a $30 charge visible on my PayPal account from this website. I have confirmation screenshots that I had canceled my trial the exact same day and after emailing customer support about this issue, I received a response to look over their terms of service which doesn’t help my issue at all. There was an advertised free trial and I was charged just for trying to use it. This feels like a scam. If you’re interested in checking this app out, I highly recommend checking whether you’ve been charged during your trial period. I’m glad I trusted my gut enough to take screenshots after starting my trial and for doing so again after I canceled the trial. Make sure to cover as many of your bases as you can and avoid this app at all costs..Version: 2.9.01

ScamI signed up for a PRO subscription years ago while I was working as a private lesson teacher. As I no longer am in that field of work, I canceled auto-renew in September, and received a confirmation email that I had done so, and they were sorry to see me go. Then, upon noticing that it was somehow still active, I canceled auto-renew AGAIN in December, and received ANOTHER confirmation email. Now, in February, I was charged $49 to renew my subscription for a year! When I asked for a refund, and sent proof of the confirmation emails, they told me that because I had not canceled before the start of the billing period, that my purchase was fully pre-authorized and they cannot issue a refund. I DID CANCEL, TWICE! AND SENT PROOF! He said because of the “inconvenience of the existing situation” that he spoke to “his head office” and they could give me a “special offer” of a 55% refund or 10 months extension on my subscription — a subscription which I don’t even want and tried to cancel twice before being notified they had billed me. The lackluster response email they sent was sent from a “do not reply” email account, so that I couldn’t even re-attach the proof that I had canceled the PRO account and reiterate that they need to refund me in full. I’m going to have to take this up with my bank. Ironic that I thought I was helping the “little guy” by supporting this app. What a joke..Version: 2.12.42

Looks greatApp looks wonderful. It’s really a shame you can’t fillet based on difficulty like you can on the website..Version: 2.12.43

Terrible UXI’m not sure if it is related to me using the free tier, but overall user experience especially in song pages is beyond terrible. Sheet music controls are flimsy, playhead cannot be moved without resetting the whole section couple times, play controls sometimes just doesn’t want to show up when rotation has changed. Whole thing just feels like an unoptimised web app from early 2010s. I definitely can’t imagine myself being a beta tester for more than 200 quids a year..Version: 2.10.18

Unreliable, unresponsive, and a huge downgradeSince the MuseScore Songbook app was retired and replaced with this app—which, as I understand it, new users actually have to pay a consistent fee to use—I’ve almost never been able to functionally listen to scores on my phone. When I download a MuseScore file, it’s a gamble as to whether it’ll stay in my Songbook or just display an indefinite loading screen. If I manage to get past that, sometimes scores will just crash while playing, often on their very first page, even if they’re very simple scores. Then, somehow, if I get lucky enough to be able to play an entire score, I have to grapple with extremely finicky and unclear controls. If I want to skip back to a specific measure, I’m left struggling with the unresponsive page-turning mechanic and have to try multiple times until the app will let me select my desired measure. Of course, that’s all assuming the UI is even showing up around the score in the first place; I think you’re supposed to tap to bring it up and tap again to see only the score, but it’s more like it decides at random. If you’re going to establish a subscription service for your app, put out a quality product. At the very least, it should have maintained the already mediocre quality of the old Songbook app. Instead, the drop in quality is beyond baffling. Please invest in hiring legitimate app developers, and maybe a MuseScore subscription would finally be worth recommending..Version: 2.1.10

Same fate as everything elseIt used to be free to download music and as a creator who uploaded music for people to use for free I hate to say it’s very monetized now. It’s only $10 a month but as someone who only needs sheet music once a month at most, usually less, i’d have to pay $10 per song or $180 for a year which is insane for sheet music unless you’re making money off it or something (I wouldn’t imagine any of it is commercial free anyway). It is also now riddled with ads and even pop up tab ads. I know something happened with the company a few years back. I don’t remember the details but it has been by far for the worse. The music program itself is still great and free and improving so I also understand the need for monetiziation, but I’m rating the app which is effectively the website, and there should be means other than subscriptions to allow people to more so pay for what they actually use..Version: 2.12.21

Generally good but terrible at searchingWhen you are searching for ‘Fantasia and Fugue in G minor, BWV 542’, Musescore gives you ’Fugue in G minor, BWV 578’ because it has more views, comments and rates. This will happen even if the title is completely matched. The other functions are brilliant! Musescore provides a lot of convenience while it is not so suitable for someone. Generally good..Version: 2.10.18

Great service but the bugs are infuriating!I’m not one to write reviews, but I just had to vent my frustration with this app. There are two main bugs that completely derail the process of following along with the sheet music. First, the line that tracks the notes can easily glitch and set itself off rhythm. It’s then useless trying to visually read the music while it’s playing. In fact, it can become harder because the tracker can throw you off. Secondly, if you tap your screen the wrong way, it pops you back up to the top of the page. Why would I ever need that happen? I’m trying to scroll along with the music while I sing or play, and it instead throws me back to the top. In what situation would I EVER want that feature? How has that ever helped anyone? I then lose my place and have to viciously try to scroll back down and find where I was. This is almost always impossible when part of a larger group that is singing along with you. Now I’m stuck without my music and have to pretend I haven’t completely lost my place. It’s a good service. It provides my club with a lot of really well transposed music. But every time I use the app I want to throw my phone across the room..Version: 2.10.22

Seems a little shadyI had a free trial - printed out the sheet music I was looking for - which by the way was formatted weird and started half a page down so the top half was blank - there was no title or composer attached to the print out so I had to write it in myself. Anyway, I forgot to cancel my pro subscription, asked for a refund, and they said no, we can give you 35% refunded OR ten months free after your year. Then I responded with no I just want a refund i won’t be using this app…every other time this has happened with a different company they’ve refunded me there’s been no issue. They THEN respond, “ok we’ve refunded you the difference between the yearly and monthly version” - - so I'm out $10 which is a month long cost. It’s shady that this wasn’t an option in their first response email. And also why does every other company have the ability to refund me the full amount but they’re unable to. I suppose I can understand, but not the fact that they left it out of their first response with all my “options”, when they then quoted their policy I can get a difference of yearly/monthly cost within the first 14 days if I cancel. So just weird vibes!.Version: 2.12.43

Critical issuesIt’s been 13 months since I’ve reported a bug in their rendering of scores on iOS. It is unable to show arpeggiated notation. It also fails to render other notation in the correct size so it can be unreadable. The PDF export displays arpeggiated notation but sometimes messes up other parts; it’s really an inconsistent and frustrating experience..Version: 2.10.23

Ok at the beginning...When I first downloaded this app I obviously had to read the reviews to see how good it was. I read the first one I came across. It stated mistakes and good things about the app, then I read a reply from the people who made this app. It said that they had fixed these problems. So I was using this app and it showed my favorite songs that I wanted to play on the piano. I had saved those songs in my favorite list, I went back to one of those songs to learn it. There wasn’t a problem there, until I wanted to listen to the audio. The button was just now working, so I figured that it just had to restart the application. When I went back in after restarting it, it wasn’t in my favorites list and when I went to search it up again it said there wasn’t any results. I hope these problems can be fixed, so I can use this app again. Thank you..Version: 2.4.23

The website is betterI was listening to one of the scores in the app, but at one point, the music hung and by then it was on the next part of the song. The hanging caused a weird effect of the music slowing down and speeding up. Other than this, and the ads that pop up every now and then, it made a decent app, but I’d still rather use the website, due to the ads being small and not covering the entire screen and the delay in scores in it being less noticable that the app’s..Version: 2.12.05

2023 ratingI was using the app and it was not perfect but it was o.k. Then, it turned awful 😞 possibly with upgrades. It made me loose patience with the app so I ended up cancelling my subscription..Version: 2.12.57

Bad surprise!Playing piano since two months. Found that I’m learning faster by reading music compare to « app learning ». I decide to go to local store and purchase 2 great piano books 👍. Now everytime I’m listening something cool, I want to play it so I purchase this app. Was looking for quality so I paid. I found a big data of non official music sheets created by who knows who. Sorry but I’m very disappointed and won’t renew for sure 😳.Version: 2.12.48

Lost £60I signed up for 7 day free trial and cancelled the day after. 7 days later I was charged for a whole year. When I complained they told me I hadn’t cancelled and they offered a 35% discount. I said no since I have actually cancelled but they don’t even answer my emails. I don’t even know how did they get my bank details since this is not showing in my Apple ID subscriptions (precisely because I cancelled) and I never entered the details myself..Version: 2.10.27

Predatory MonetizationThis app was once excellent and I would have given it 5 stars, but it has been updated recently and introduced a “Pro” feature for $50 a year. What were once free features available to all (things like offline viewing, auto scrolling the sheet during playback etc) are now locked behind the Pro subscription as well as now serving ads to free users. I would have happily paid money for this app in its previous state (I can’t remember if it was paid or not originally - I have used it for a while now), but I cannot support the decision to lock absolutely basic quality of life features behind a yearly $50 subscription. I am giving it 2 stars, since it does work quite well, but I would have easily given it 5 if it were not for this predatory monetization practice. In its current form I cannot recommend it to anyone. Find a different sheet music app to give your money to..Version: 2.10.07

Something this app needs is to show the notesSo as someone being introduced and teaching my self keyboard and not knowing music theory especially how to sight read, this app proves difficult for me to learn new pieces, on pc it’s no worries I can highlight the piece and find the notes... but on this app... with out being able to see the notes this app is useless for someone like me who cannot sight read.... get flowkey until they implement this into the app... as for me this app is unless with out it and also disappointed I paid so much for it when the pc app can do it but this iPad app cannot.... utterly ridiculous.Version: 2.8.14

Huge scamJust know if you accidentally forget to cancel your subscription. you will NOT receive a refund and they will only give you 35% back. Should’ve listened to the reviews I highly doubt even a actual person emails you. Someone on here from a couple of years ago said that if you revive a email from Paula then it’s probably not a real person. Guess who I received an email from? You must be working so hard Paula responding to everyone’s emails? I will definitely warn my friends and other people of this app. The developers don’t care at all about their customers. You would think a great, nice, and professional thing to do would be to let users know before doing a free trial that you don’t get your money back. Not hide it under 3 pages worth of terms of service. I even told them I couldn’t afford to pay it and that I just did it to get sheet music my piano teacher wanted and it was my fault smh….Version: 2.10.16

Great app with constant problems...I usually don’t write reviews for apps; however, I feel that it is necessary to let the developers know about some bugs. As a musician, I absolutely loves this app. It allows me to get an endless amount of music for free, and I don’t have to carry around a bunch of music, or go searching through an endless pile of music. However, this app is constantly giving me issues, and trying to fix them wastes valuable time that I could have used practicing my trumpet. The most current issue I’m dealing with is how the app responds to exiting a score. Usually, the app will smoothly back out of the score I’m reading, but now it loads only half the screen and leaves a white nos around the left side of my screen. So far, the only work around that I have found is to close out the app, which is just inconvenient and annoying for me..Version: 2.4.24

Hard to cancel free trialI signed up for the week’s free trial, and even though I liked the app it wasn’t going to be useful to me so tried to cancel the subscription. Couldn’t find how to in the moment so left it for later presuming I would get a notification that the free trial was about to end. No notification came and I got charged $85 for a year’s subscription which I did not want..Version: 2.12.21

Auto-Renew Subscription is a FraudTo get the free trial you have to enter your credit card number and they sent you an email the same day that the trial expires and says you have until 6 PM. They are trying to get you to forget and then charge you $49 US. If you fight with them, they will only offer you a $42 refund claiming that you already are into a month of the subscription. Watch out for these scammers..Version: 2.8.3

Searching function errorTyped and clicked search for all sheet never worked. Just same first page stays there. Can i request refund for pro subscription?.Version: 2.12.50

Shady business practices and poor customer serviceI attempted to sign up for a one-week free trial of MuseScore Pro on their website to see if the service would be useful. In the process of signing up, I was given a chance to opt for what looked like a special summer deal at a reduced rate, but it was not clear that this special price did not include the free week. I noticed within 40 minutes that I'd been charged and immediately canceled my account and initiated a refund request with customer service. After trading emails for a couple of days, they finally agreed to a 25% refund. Whether MuseScore contains quality scores or not, I don't (and won't know), because I won't use it. But it is clear that their customer "service" is anything but. Perhaps it should have been obvious that the cheaper rate did not include the free trial, but the lack of a grace period is inexcusable. I'd advise anyone against giving this company any of your money. Update: After sending the above review to their support, they promised a 100% refund (processing times being what they are, I haven’t received it yet). I appreciate the refund, but it’s annoying that it was so hard to get, and my trust is obviously lost..Version: 2.12.63

Waste of moneyForgot to cancel after I was disappointed with the trial. Worst money I’ve spent.Version: 2.12.59

Walk before you can run.I want to love this app but I find the constant bugs so incredibly frustrating. This time I can’t log in, so I can’t submit a bug report; which meant it was finally time to leave a review, hope some sees it and fixes the Login via Facebook so I can access my scores again. Instead of constantly trying to upgrade and change your app why don’t you get the things it’s already supposed to do working consistently. Test your changes more before you push them, please!!!!.Version: 2.4.17

Worst app ever, customer support team does not care about customers.I would never recommend musescore to anyone. the “support” team clearly does not care about, let alone support its customers at all. they need to be fired immediately or undergo intensive training in being civilised towards customers. my friend, who is a single mother working 70 hour weeks, was taken advantage of by the musescore team as they attempted to gaslight her into believing she had no option but to surrender her hard earned money towards this useless app as she had not been able to cancel her subscription in time due to her working. now, her 3 children will starve for a week. thanks musescore! think of these poor, helpless, vulnerable children, who, because of the greedy, money-hungry, capitalist musescore will not be able to eat a single morsel for 7 long days. furthermore, these options that were provided were not in like with their own terms and conditions - do they believe that their customers are stupid? how offensive. i myself am a corporate lawyer with 49 years of experience and i will be taking musescore to court should i believe it is necessary. #F***CAPITALISM.Version: 2.12.35

Don’t see PRO as a very wise choice...Recently, MuseScore has changed its site entirely and requires a PRO subscription to download and print almost all music created by writers or translators. Before, it was a simple site where people could share music as a recreation and people would download them, and MuseScore would make money through advertisement. I may be biased and understand funds, but I believe the choice of ‘PRO’ mode isn’t a wise one. The reason MuseScore was such a popular site in the first place is because it was free, could be easily navigated, and was the software for creating music was highly polished. Creators are supposed to get the ‘benefit’ from pro mode, as their content can’t be downloaded without permission. Still, people who are trying to make money out of sheet music shouldn’t be uploading on a site like MuseScore anyways! You should be charging users for using the creation software, not the browsers if you aren’t already. The ‘PRO’ mode can still be easily bypassed, so there’s no point in upgrading anyways..Version: 2.4.0

Add Support for MuseScore 4 Files!I enjoy using MuseScore and find it extremely helpful. However, I’m having trouble as many of the scores I open now require you to go to their website because the app doesn’t support the new MuseScore files. The website is extremely laggy and overall much more inconvenient than the app so it’s very frustrating having to jump onto there to see a score. I will update this review to 5 stars once support is added..Version: 2.12.61

Predatory appThey will charge you.Version: 2.12.52

Please change the page-turningWould be a 5 star review if the page turning system wasn’t horribly unintuitive. The animation is unnecessary and really slow, full-screening the music is janky and 99% of the time breaks the page turning, which is fine if you only want to learn the first page of every piece. Also from what I can tell there’s no way to go back a page except exiting full screen, which is guaranteed to break the page turning. Tapping the screen to turn the page just doesn’t feel right. Please just change it to a scroll function like everything else.Version: 2.3.2

Missing MuseScore now that I’m using iOS onlyI truly loved notating in MuseScore, however, my MacBook Air finally aged itself out after 13 years and I’ve moved exclusively to the latest iPad Pro with Magic keyboard. It works so beautifully for me and just like a laptop for everything I need to do—except MuseScore notation, for which I pay the $79 subscription. What a tremendous disappointment. I’ve had to subscribe to Sibelius, which means more money, a new learning curve and I don’t frankly like it as much as I did MuseScore. I’m a professor and arranger and I need a notation program to work quick teaching examples and full scores. MuseScore did all that for me so wonderfully. I’m so disappointed and maybe even a little angry at the time I spent building MuseScore skills. Is there ever going to be a MuseScore notation app for iOS? If not, I will sadly be forced to cancel. I’m not buying another laptop when the iPad pro works so seamlessly for everything else I do. :-(.Version: 2.12.56

Charged meI accidentally purchased something and when I contacted them about it, days later they emailed back saying to tell them what happened. I told them many times what happened and finally got an email back days later again saying I got my refund. I checked my account and they didn’t even give me my full refund. I won’t stop asking till I get my full refund. Payed $75 and got back $50🤦‍♀️.Version: 2.5.12

Terrible!Wish I could give 0 stars. When I got it first ages ago, it was the dream and it let me view multiple compositions from other people on the platform. Then an update made it take a long time to load where you couldn't tap on anything or else the screen would worryingly start twitching. But I still continued to use it as it wasn't too bad. Then the most recent update made it look different but also every five seconds a pop up which either was a tutorial for how to get started (which just repeated itself and you had to restart) or an ad you couldn't exit. Since the new update I haven't been able to view any music whatsoever. These "improvements" do nothing except make it worse. Disgusting app..Version: 2.0.12

App has major bugs still even after recent updateAfter researching music score apps, musescore was trending near the top and the reviews looked good. After using this app for only a few hours, I don’t know how because I have experienced major bugs that prevent me from using it and considering filing a complaint with Apple. Three things I expect from a music score app 1) it will cost “something” for a large collection 2) I can search and find music, and 3) I can open music to play. The only thing this app has succeeded at is collecting my money. I keep getting errors about internet connection and 20 minutes, or just error - score not available, or even that scores are not available in my country - and this was happening for every score I was trying to open. I see there was a minor bug update yesterday right before I installed the app so no excuses it should fail as horribly as it does! About the details: new iPhone, 1TB storage, fiber internet, restarted everything, waited 10 hours and after re-opening worked for a few songs then full failure again. Side note, the website worked okay but lost a bunch of favorites I saved yesterday so another failure..Version: 2.12.32

Great toolA fabulous system all round. The PC version allows you to write/copy (should I be saying that?) scores with a high degree of sophistication. This App allows you to share that material with users who then can’t change it, other than using their own PC and making changes that they can listen to, but will not affect the original file. This works extremely well as an aid to our choir members familiarising with little known or more complex scores. And you the originator can make and distribute changes as required. Thanks for a great piece of software. The only problem is, on updating this App, it has managed to delete my previous songbook library. Great! Also whilst I have now upgraded to pro I still cannot listen to some scores (“temporarily unavailable” - permanently), often when they have chords attached, not notated..Version: 2.10.11

UselessAs you can do as l’Omar nothing without paying..Version: 2.12.61

Log outsIt never remembers who I am. Every time I leave the app it says I have to sign back in again. They need to fix that. Also the filter system sort of glitches out for me sometimes and doesn’t include the instrument I put into it. Used to have lots of great songs but recently it’s like they’ve disappeared. Even songs I had apparently saved are now just gone Other than that though it is a good app..Version: 2.5.6

Love/Hate RelationshipMuseScore. Oh musescore. I love you as a concept. I really do. But the execution of this app is questionable. Today it just decided to delete all of my favourited scores. For no apparent reason. And won’t let me add any new ones. I’ll click the heart button to add it, it’ll say it’s added to my favourites, then I’ll check my favourites and there’s still nothing there! So yeah, fantastic concept, questionable execution.Version: 2.4.4

Unable to create own scoresI used this app on my MacBook for school and didn’t need to pay a subscription, and I was excited to see that it for there for my ipad, but I needed it for composition, and I could find no way to compose my own song without buying a hundred dollar yearly subscription. I am extremely disappointed and now have to resort to another app, when I was extremely happy with this on my laptop. It is completely outrageous..Version: 2.11.03

Misleading and can’t get money backThis app is misleading. It’s a viewer that leaves you unable to do much with it - I didn’t realise I wouldn’t be able to use it properly to download music sheets to play. I then failed to realise this was a subscription and now I can’t get the money back. MuseScore is ignoring my email and Apple are saying it’s tough. Not happy as this is not what I thought I was buying and statutory rights usually mean I can get a refund if product not what I thought I was getting!!!.Version: 2.4.4

Worse than the websiteHi, I’m a trombone player I have been play it for a year now and I was looking for a good app/website to print out some video game music to perform with my friends and I came across the website for this I thought this would be good, and I can easily print something out to play it but no. One you have to pay for everything which would be fine and stuff, but paying money to print some thing that just seems a lot. it also keeps trying to get me to download the app so I do it the same only there is no print button and if I download it as a PDF I can’t only get trombone it’s really buggy and hard to use and when I tried to do the free trial, it just simply didn’t work it cut off half the things on the screen so I would have to turn my tiny phone, which, then I couldn’t even read the music the music that I want is only on this app so it really frustrates me that I can’t do what I want to do with 1. not having to pay 2. it being super buggy. would not recommend for anyone trying to print or practice something if you’re just trying to listen to something then it’s for you. Ps. i’m not too good at making constructive criticism. and my grammar is horrible. Hope you can make this app a little more user-friendly.Version: 2.12.57

MisleadingThis is not the pro version even though the app is paid for. It is quite limited - only 5 scores can be stored at one time (delete the ones that came with it). Useful for exporting to PDF I thought, but that's a pro function with a monthly subscription. I'm a fan of muse score, use it a lot but I am a bit disappointed with this - hopefully there will be room for development. It's handy to be able to transpose but haven't found a way of printing yet, or exporting files..Version: 2.6.9

Like this, but could be better...Everything is already pretty good, but the interface and usability of the scores in playback are not user-friendly, which I myself feel sad about as this is one of the main purposes of the app: to help you learn by playing back the song in real-time. Hopefully this will be fixed and my review can move up one or two stars..Version: 2.1.18

Bad since last updateThe app has lost features that I used. The functions that are there don’t work correctly most of the time. I have contacted the company and have not received satisfactory answers. I paid for Pro so I would have access to advanced features on the app which allowed me to transpose the music and export PDFs of the music transposed and by single part if needed. I can no longer do that. The company has stated they are considering restoring those features, however, I can no longer use the app as I intended to. As the app is no longer of use to me, I stated I would pay for the months that I used, and requested a refund for the balance of that year. They have refused to refund my money or any portion of my purchase. They told me that I need to use a PC instead. That is not why purchased Pro which include the app. I would like to use the app the way it functioned in the past, if it does that in the near future I may change my rating, but for now serious disappointment in the app and the company’s response..Version: 2.0.5

Helpful, but flawedThe service that MuseScore offers is fantastic: a way to easily compose music and share it. The companion app, however, is rough around the edges and borderline unusable at points. UI/usability glitches include: menus that come back after you dismiss them; music pages changing erratically; irrelevant results throughout the search menu; internet searches showing up and blocking out the My Favorites tab; menu areas not extending to the edges of the screen; the inconsistency when hiding UI elements while looking at a piece of music; every song you’ve favorited being forgotten about; occasional account logouts you didn’t ask for; etc. The core function of this app is still present with a lot of time spent navigating, but sweeping renovations are needed to make it feel clean and friendly. I hope more development goes into making this a more seamless user experience..Version: 2.3.2

Product is good, iPad app needs workThe product feature set and price are spot on, but this iPad app really needs some attention. I understand that often apps are developed for phone first and iPad as an afterthought (if it’s thought about at all) but most of us aren’t reading sheet music from a phone screen - this should be an iPad first development. Yet there’s all the tell tale signs of neglect: layouts don’t show as expected, and some functionality simply doesn’t work (such as sorting your saved music in order of most recently saved). There are also some easy opportunities for ease of use improvements. When I open the app, I’m several clicks away from viewing my saved library of sheet music - this should be at max a 1 click navigation and ideally 0 click (load directly into your library) as I’m sure the vast majority of users are navigating to this the vast majority of the time (and only occasionally searching for new scores). This app is very close to great, but all recent updates seem to focus on their monetization pieces. Devs: Please dedicate one sprint to iPad quality of life updates, we the users will greatly appreciate it! Note: I’m on an iPad 6th generation (2018 model).Version: 2.12.60

Mobile app problemsIf I transpose something on the mobile app then I try to print it, it prints in the original key rather than what I transposed it to. Lil frustrating.Version: 2.0.9

Underlying IssuesI love Musescore a lot, I use it very often. I like the app, but sometimes it's worse than using the actual website due to some underlying issues. One issue is the soundfonts on the app. If the user uploaded a custom soundfont, they are replaced with a random soundfont on the app. On the website, custom soundfonts are supported, and the default soundfonts sound so much better. For an example, search "Halls of Science 4" from Portal 2 on the app and the website and you'll see what I mean. (I didn't make that score but it's a good example) Second, there's no way to make/upload scores on the app. This isn't such a big deal, but it would be nice to have a sister app/ in-app program or at least be able to upload a .midi to the app. Overall, it's good for practicing, but if you want it to sound good too, then the website would be a better option..Version: 2.6.8

Do not trust the free trialCanceled my free trial through there website and still got charged Support refused to refund it as it’s not part of the policy. There where rude and difficult to work with. I highly recommend avoiding the free trial and if you do do it through apple so you can cancel easily..Version: 2.4.4

New update makes it very difficult to read and useThe previous version was definitely barebones, and I appreciate that the developers are attempting to add new features and make improvements! Unfortunately the new version makes using the app as a reading tool (for playing at an instrument) cumbersome at best if not impossible. The page turn animation is so slow that I have to stop playing to wait until the next measure is revealed when sight reading. My iPad is less than than a year old, so I know it’s not my device. And the previous version was more than fast enough. The layout of the individual symbols has regressed to the point that symbols and notes and chords are on top of each other, covering and jumbling, making it impossible, sometimes, to read the notes. And finally, as others have noted, the default size when a score opens is extremely small, even on the slightly larger iPad Pro. Having to manually change the size is fine, and I’m glad it’s possible, but that’s when the jumble of symbols happens! I am grateful the developers have grandfathered my account in feature-wise, and also acknowledge that this app, at least for me, is free. Thank you! I hope that further updates to the app give me confidence (and opportunity) to pay for the hard work it takes to construct an useful app..Version: 2.0.7

Good right now, but could be much better.So this would be a 4 star, but there’s one thing that I think would make this app a whole lot better. That thing is, to be able to make score sheets in the app, or at least have an app that solely focuses on the ability to make score sheets that pairs with this app, as in you could upload scores you make in the supposed sister app from this app. And I haven’t exactly come across some of the issues other users have had with this app, except for when I try to open score sheets that are very long, so for instance medleys which tend to be over 10 or 20 minutes long. Every time I try to open a very long score sheet on the app, it freezes and I can’t do anything except for close the app and relaunch it. Meanwhile, the website has little to no problem opening the same exact score, and just to be clear I use a laptop that is over 2 or 3 years old, it’s a Dell and is not exactly great, and I use google chrome as my default browser. Other than that I don’t have any real problems with the app, and if you could conjure up something that allows users to make score sheets on their mobile device and upload from this app when on the go, that would be quite a make up for the mentioned “issues” that users comment on that I can’t seem to find or come across..Version: 2.3.3

Could be so much better!It’s OK as far as it goes but it’s very frustrating that there is no iPad version of the full MuseScore app. IPads have now got to the stage where they are virtual laptop replacements, but this is being held back by developers such as MuseScore not creating proper iPad versions of their apps. It would be so brilliant to be able to write out scores using the iPad with the benefit of touch and pencil interface. Let’s hope the developers are working on such an app!.Version: 2.5.13

Pro subscription very limited, and misleadingI like MuseScore for it’s free notation software, but as a supplier of official PDF scores from publishers it is very limited, and not comparable with competitors like Nkoda. For a start, you can’t download offline any official pieces, the selection is very limited. Furthermore, the ipad app can’t even view the scores in the app, only in it’s browser. The option to export to PDF that was promised doesn’t apply to official PDFs either, it turns out. On the plus side, the subscription is much cheaper, but for me it’s not fit for purpose and I’ve requested a refund..Version: 2.10.17

What happened to this app?!Use to be my go-to when it came to sheet music but recently the app has become COMPLETELY unusable. Every time I open the app I have to relog back in, the search engine crashes and makes the screen flash white do I can't search anything and on the odd chance that I do manage to search someone and click into the sheet music I want... Give it three seconds before it takes me out of that score and back to the search page or better yet; just kicks me from my account. I'm begging you... FIX THIS. This app is completely broken, that I haven't gotten a score from it in months..Version: 2.1.11

Help!I logged in and got the free trial then the app locked me out and I can’t get back in to cancel it!!!!! They are scamming us!!!! I am very very very upset!!!!!!!.Version: 2.1.18

I can’t turn the pages??Okay so MAYBE i’m being really stupid (it’s entirely possible) but whenever i go to play a song, i tap to turn the page and it just won’t do it??? i have to let the app play the song for me or take it off of the “full screen” type thing to be able to turn and that’s really annoying when i’m just trying to get the hang of a piece of music and if it has the bar at the top open then i can’t see the top of the first line and it’s just incredibly infuriating. that being said, it’s good to have a place with loads of different pieces to play, it’s just quite annoying when you can only play the first page of the songs..Version: 2.3.10

It’s hard to understandWhen I firsted open the app I chose to do piano and the flute but I wanted to be a beginner and learn but when I bought the pro it didn’t let me start?? I don’t know if I had to get a different one but when I press on a course it said learn for free and when I pressed on it I had to pay a lot of money but I already bought the pro so I’m not sure what I am doing wrong. If possible can you please help me out with this issue I am having because I just want to learn. I’m very confused right now..Version: 2.12.19

Percussion sound fonts are brokenI’ve been using musescore on my MacBook since 2014 I think, and it’s an amazing open source solution to music notation. The iPhone app however, not so much. I can’t find a way to start a new score which isn’t a huge problem for me because the main reason I bought this app is so I could play them back to my professors without just opening the mobile website. This works great for most scores I have but all of them with percussion tracks (specifically stand tunes that I am trying to get accepted into our rotation at my college) play as if they’re a synth keyboard of some kind, and of course the sounds that it make are horribly out of key. I’m unsure if there’s a way to change the sound font in the app like you can on the desktop and Mac applications but it’s a big problem I hope is updated..Version: 1.13

Scam, buyer bewareThis is a scam. Read the reports online before you sign up for anything including a “free” 7 or 30 day trial that for some reason requires a credit card (should’ve been my first clue this was a scam). Tons of stories of people like me who were charged full yearly prices before the “free” trial period ends. You email their support and they bounce you back and forth between their .com and .org sites. Then they blame apple and itunes. The whole process is designed to drag it out so you pass your trial period and can’t get it voided with your credit card company. I contacted apple and they processed a refund and suggested I post negative feedback as the only real thing a consumer can do. Avoid this like the plague. Buyer beware!.Version: 2.4.24

GoodLots of scores for many instruments which is pretty nice but the search engine atleast in the app is super scuffed. Usually i have to resort to searching up the piece i want to play on google then opening the app from the webpage because nothing shows up when i try to find the score i want.Version: 2.12.60

This is the worst app I have ever usedFor the past few days I have been fiddling with this app as I have not used it in a long time. All I have been trying to do is read sheet music that I paid and bought. Through further investigation it has refused me from making any alterations and after crashing on me multiple times I have given up. I have tried to use this app on my phone and computer as I originally starting using this app a few years on the computer when it was functional. As I have the computer program it does not allow me to use any compositions that I have bought or downloaded and when I try to do anything with it constantly refers me to the app on my mobile device. After further attempting to download the app on my phone, more problems begin to occur. After seeing the same issue as before of the constant buggyness and permanent redirecting to buy the subscription. I am then blocked out of using the transcript after using it to its full capability for 5 minutes. All I am trying to do is read a piece of sheet music that I paid for that I can not find anywhere else on the internet and for some reason has been so aggravating that I’m deleting the app..Version: 2.12.13

PrintingExtremely hard , not at all user friendly for printing music sheets. Too much options that none work for my iPad. Not impressed at all for the payment I made..Version: 2.12.22

You cant play music from the appThe way it displays music is “classic” one page page turning, making many songs impossible to play... it wouldnt be that hard to make it scroll instead of just change. They did respond to this but they just mentioned the inconvenient practice mode where there is no option to show more than one part of the piece at once, despite the large area of white space which would fit perfectly. If you want to see more than one part, which any serious player would, you have to use the impossible to play page turning. ALSO, the “practice mode” for some reason makes the measures wider, so you cant reasonably get more than 4 measures on screen. If these people played instruments, they would know you have to read far farther in advanced then that. Finally, the search doesn’t even work, it repeats the same couple dozen uploads over and over and once you get past those it forcible pushes you back up to the top of the search.Version: 2.5.18

I press subscribe by mistakeI did unsubscribe directly it’s enough right ?.Version: 2.4.21

Change default soundI always listened to scores on my browser rather than the actual app because the browser has the actual sound of the piano the score has instead of the mediocre sounding one in the app itself. The browser version has been bugging out lately, the track keeps playing forwards when I click to replay a measure while it replays the measures visually so the measure highlighted isn’t what’s actually being played, and about a minute or so into a score the audio cracks loudly and the song restarts while the highlighted measures continue on. Because of that I can’t listen to scores on my browser because it’s severely bugged at the moment and using the app works but the piano sounds horrible. Sound means a lot to somebody like me. It would be nice if you could add the default piano sound rather than the apps current one that sounds nothing like the scores..Version: 2.1.17

Constant crashes, bad typosThe new update appears to have manually added internet lag to MuseScore. For some arcane reason, I’m sure, but the effect is that if your internet is not perfect, you are no longer able to access any scores at all, instead greeted with a “Check your connection” screen. I have sufficient connection for everything else that requires internet on an iPad - I just downloaded the hell update, after all. The declining quality of updates made clear by the frequent glitched states and more and more common basic typos and grammar edits has clearly culminated in this app-breaking update. This, unfortunately, seems to mark the end of my four-year relationship with MuseScore. Here’s hoping it is soon fixed..Version: 2.12.28

Scam! Do not go near this companyPerhaps the software is good, but I expect this service only works out for those who decide to pay for subscription. I wouldn’t know, as I only used ended up using it for the free trial and realised it wasn’t what I needed. However on cancelling, I was subsequently charged for a year’s membership. Customer service was poor and the resolution offered was insulting. I then checked TrustPilot reviews and surprise surprise, this has been many other people’s experience too. If you are not sure about this service and want to try it - beware! The refund is cynical and mean, so it comes across as if they are happy to trick people into paying for a year, even though we all thought we had cancelled our subscriptions via the normal process..Version: 2.5.20

I love this app but it’s a pain in the 🍑It USUALLY works but every once in a while the app says “you don’t have anything in your favorites” blah blah blah when i do have stuff there. idk if it’s my wifi, or the app, but either way it’s getting tiring. another thing, is that a couple days ago there was this small rectangle in the middle of my screen, and i couldn’t even use the app because it was frozen or something,, other people had this problem too. i loveee the concept of the app, and i always find the best songs to play when i’m bored or during rehearsal breaks. i also use it for a duet and/or violin 2 when i don’t have someone to play with. it would be 5 stars if there wasn’t a bug or something wrong with the app almost every time i use it. whenever you have a problem with musescore, i recommend the app “Flat” it’s basically the same thing..Version: 2.3.9

Don’t Make a Subscription!MuseScore has some of the worst business practices I’ve ever seen. I signed up for a one week trial with MuseScore to test it. It was pretty good but I decided I don’t need to go PRO. So I canceled my subscription through the Apple app. Well... they never got the notification and decided to charge my paypal account that I used to set up my account. It wasn’t the monthly rate that they billed me for they went straight to the annual rate! Tried to contact them and they said they don’t refund according to their “policy.” Website doesn’t have a phone number just an email and when you try to respond back to their email they don’t. Try to contact their PayPal account they won’t get back with you. Tell your problem on the forum and ask to get a hold of customer service some rude guy named JoJo Schmidt responds. If I could give this app 0 stars I would. As for the app itself, it never worked always said I timed out. WORST COMPANY AROUND! SCAMMERS that aren’t there for customers just the money..Version: 2.1.7

BrokenThis app seems broken. Search function doesn’t work at all. And your App Store “app support” link seems to a busted link as well..Version: 2.12.50

SubscriptionGIVE MY FCKN MONEY BACK CUNTS.Version: 2.12.17

SCAMWish I had read the other reviews. I downloaded this app for the feee trial but realised it wasn’t what I needed so deleted the app on the same day and stopped the subscription through Apple, or so I thought. At the end of the free trial period I was charged a full years subscription! I spoke with Apple but they say it’s out of their hands and MuseScore do not respond to any of the emails I have sent asking for a refund. DO NOT USE THIS APP!!!! Unless you want to be fleeced!.Version: 2.12.20

Where have the chord letters gone with the latest update?His app has been great, finding a wide variety of songs I never would have found. It was working fine on Friday, then all of the sudden he chord letters disappeared from lead sheets. I can only chord extensions (e.g. 7, m7 etc.). The chords appear in the thumbnail, but not when I open the score. I left it over the weekend and no fix. I deleted the app and reinstalled, but same issue persists..Version: 2.8.19

I’m having issuesI think the app is great. As there is a lot of music to find. However I purchased the pro version and I can’t use the Transposition. And the add with Start free trial comes up all the time. That needs to be fixed. I want to use this app properly. I paid for it..Version: 2.12.43

Please, use songsterr for tabs instead of this garbage.My friend wrote me up some tabs and put them on this app so I could learn his songs, downloaded this and it’s absolute mess. The tab in question has all the lead & rhythm guitars, as well as my bass part, so it defaults to zoomed way out, so much so that the numbers are so tiny they start pixelating. I have to zoom in so far to even be able to see the numbers that I can only read about a bar or two of music at a time, and when I play through the song every time it transitions to the next slide of tabs the app zooms way back out to where I can’t even read anything again. Also there is no way I can rewind or skip through specific sections of songs, only the option to start the whole song over from the beginning. You’d think that the bar at the bottom of the screen would allow you to rewind a slide or two? Why is it only there to show me how many slides of tabs I have gotten through? This has been driving me up the wall trying to learn these songs. I WOULD NOT be using this app if it wasn’t my only choice, and from my experiences I'm sorry to say I cannot recommend.

What's happening?I have successfully used this app on my iPad to share, via Dropbox, the U3A recorder group music arrangements done by me or the other music director of our group for the last few years. Now, suddenly My Library lists what's there but when I go to open a file it very, very briefly shows the music then I get a "Sorry, this file is unavailable" message. Can someone tell me why this is happening? I'm very disappointed as there are a few in our group who only work from an iPad/tablet and cannot access the laptop version. Thank you in advance for your assistance. DB.Version: 2.10.11

Absolutely in love with the concept, not the way it currently functions.This app is amazing where transcribers, song writers, and general musicians can share their work and provide others the opportunity of learning something they can’t anywhere else. I especially love to reference this app for A Cappella because of the amazing transcribers found on this platform. There are major downsides, simply with the way it functions. Some features work one day, but either completely don’t work or crash the app another day. For instance, the option to listen to individual parts was somewhat functional, but then its button changed to “transpose” and I thought that was a pro feature. The individual part selector is something I relied on as a free feature as a chorus member. Sometimes when trying to listen to individual staves or parts, it will still play the other parts, and I would have to back out of the music and go back in just for it to work. Sometimes when listening to the song as a whole, the bar that indicates where you are in the song is ahead of behind of the audio, making it challenging or confusing to follow along. Again, the concept of the app is like no other and revolutionizes the music world, but it’s coming up short with its lack of reliability in functionality..Version: 2.4.23

PLEASE READBefore this update the app was AMAZING and I loved it to death. I’m an advanced pianist and I use this app every day. I take it on the go wherever there’s a piano. This means there usually wasn’t WiFi available so I downloaded the music to my songbook (thanks to the $2.99 one time purchase which is very efficient and blessed 10/10). I would proudly say I used MuseScore whenever someone asked where I got my sheet music. It was amazing and was my favorite app. I’m sorry, but this new update is worse than ever, the format is intimidating and bland and now you guys are just pulling even more money from people’s pockets. The notes are automatically zoomed out and tiny and it’s gonna be annoying to keep zooming in on the notes every time I open a piece of music. The quality itself just downgraded so badly I feel like I’m using iOS 6 and I’m taken back to the era of iPhone 4’s. I can’t download music to my songbook without the subscription- worse yet, more than half the songs downloaded to my songbook disappeared. 6.99 subscription every month? Come on, you’re kidding yourselves. I know you need to make some profit but subscriptions draw people away. Monthly or annual payments? What a shame. Please take it back to the previous system and formatting. It was PERFECT and was working GREAT before. There was absolutely no need to update this. Otherwise, I’m very upset and disappointed with the app I once adored. Please take this into consideration and fix it..Version: 2.0.2
