Perfect for Worship Music
connnair

This app is perfect for managing all of our worship songs! I can make set lists and organize all the songs. I no longer have to fumble through countless sheets of paper. I also love that I can make notes on the music and mark up if needed. I purchased a foot pedal to flip the page and it works so well with this program. I highly recommend!!


Now with iCloud Sync! YES!

I have a couple of iPads that I use, and I’ve tried to keep them in sync, but it’s been a pain in the past. The new iCloud sync is a godsend to me! I often annotate my music, and now I can see my annotations on other devices without having to sync them by hand. THANK YOU!


Wow!

This app, in combination with GoodNotes , is changing the way I teach. No longer do I need to hover over the student writing in their music, or needing them to stop playing so they can write. I simply annotate in this app, and send with GoodNotes to the student.


Great app but…
Shinny elephant

I’ve been using forScore for the past year for performances both as pianist as well as conductor. It’s been running so fluently and has all the function I can dream of - until the very recent update. It crushes every time I try to rearrange the pages of large PDFs, which use to be fluent. I’m using a brand new iPad Pro so it can’t be the device. I’d be so happy if you can fix that. But thank you for this amazing app nevertheless


What happened to the scanner ‘scan?
PuzzlesLady

Since updating, I've had to use a different scanner to import music. In ForScore, the camera won’t focus. All other updates seem great.


Nice, but…
stbelgrano

I bought this a few days ago, and even got the premium. I tried writing music with the pencil, using their templates. Everything nice, until it crashed and didn’t save the changes. Next time, the same. Next time, again. Keeps crashing and not saving what I write. It’s pretty annoying and disappointing.


ICloud syncing now on iPad OS 15
vnfrogger

I love this app!! I have been using it almost since the beginning and recently had ALL of my music scanned. The set list feature is fantastic. And using Apple Pencil is a great experience. No more messy erasure marks. I have been looking forward to iCloud syncing feature just in case my 12.9 iPad Pro isn’t charged. And now it is available to everyone. Thanks!


Perfect app, but…
Mtbagz

Have been using this app for 5 years now and have had no issues until the last update. Was writing important notes on my music when all of a sudden it crashed and my notes weren’t there anymore. Not sure why this is happening as it happened randomly at three different times. Please fix. Other than this. absolutely love this app! Thank you!


Excellent and beyond
Magnus-Primus

I’ve been using ForScore for 10 years now. And when I think it can’t get better, a new version proves me wrong. I’m a baroque music musician playing in period instruments, and my whole music library from microfilms and museum facsimile editions are stored and perfectly organized in forScore. Amazing app with outstanding support. Definitely a must for any musician.


Excellent

I use it every day, seriously.
