Works really well

It takes a while to learn this app because it does so much. But it is not hard to learn. I recommend printing out the user guide from their web site. It is well written and well organized. Using this app on the iPad is way more convenient than lugging a stack of music around. I play piano. My brother plays wood winds and he likes it. I have another friend pianist who takes it to all her gigs, along with an AirTurn Bluetooth foot pedal for page turning. You can mark up the scores, put in page turning markers to get you back to repeats, organize playlists. Than is all I have done with it so far. UPDATE 4/10/19: This app is so useful, I have felt a bit guilty getting all the feature updates over the years for just the initial purchase price. I am a retired programmer myself, so I have some sense of how much work it takes to provide such a full-featured app, with very, very few bugs, if any. I have never encountered a bug. So I am subscribing to the pro version. At $9.99 per year it is cheap for what is offered, and only fair to pay for such good value. Every musician I have showed this to has bought an iPad Pro so they could get the app. It is that valuable.
Comments and Requests on Version 11

Thank you for an amazing app that makes my life as a college musician so much easier. Just a comment on the latest update, the immediate first thing that I noticed was that when I was using my apple pencil, the stroke was much thicker than It used to be. I think that the variable width curves are great however I like to add very finepoint notes in my music and the stroke is a little too thick compared to what it used to be. It would be nice to either make the thin much thinner, or make an option to turn the variable width option off so that we can get that finetip stroke if possible. Also, is it possible to have an actual document scanner in the app that can crop the sheet music and upload straight to forScore? I keep having to use the Notes app, scan it, and then transfer to forScore. One last request, when sorting the music, can we have a way to assign sheet music to a specific Genre, Composer, etc. instead of having to type them in exactly the same for each piece? Kind of like the way we add music to playlists on music apps. Thank you so much for your great work!
Subscription format. Boo!

Excellent app gone money hungry. I already gave you my hard-earned cash for this “pro” app, as have thousands of other people, and I’m not doing it again. Kinda sad you guys had to cave to greed. I’ll stick with the previous version of this app, and that’s as far as I go with you.
Edit features are very annoying.

1. The smallest font size keeps changing so I wind up having huge fingering numbers next to existing smaller ones. 2. The slider to adjust the font size is too difficult to control especially in fine tuning on the small end of the scale. Has your app programer ever heard of a thing called a logarithmic scale?? 3. I think leaving out clef signature fonts is a big omission. It should be part of the basic package. Otherwise, your app is fine.
Why so bold?

Fix the pencil. After adjusting settings, my annotation size will not get small. Edit: Thanks for the update
If you are a musician with an iPad, you need this app

I had been hesitant for many months about spending the money to purchase such an expensive app, but wow is it worth it. It is like a PDF viewer cranked up to 11 with only musicians in mind. It has replaced cabinets worth of sheet music, and allows me to carry them wherever I go. The user experience is amazing, once you get the hang of it. When you get this app: mess around on it. Look at setlists, and add information about the pieces. I promise it will be worth it!
Great app!

Only complaint is that I recently paid for the iPhone app and now it’s free with iPad one!
Almost perfect

Pretty great app, and I’m happy I no longer have to lug around big books for teaching. The only bad part is that when I’m annotating anything in the header region of a piece with my Apple Pencil, the editing tool pops up, making it impossible to write anything. This is really frustrating since I often write in the margins. Please change this as it takes extra time in my lessons when I just need to make a note.
Great App. Possible eraser tool glitch?

There seems to be a glitch when using the eraser tool. When I erase notes here and there, I noticed that the other notes or marks not being erased were starting to get blurry. I tried testing it with a plane paper, and it continues to happen. It can get pretty annoying when you start seeing your notes blurrier and blurrier. Hope it can be fixed in the next update. I’m using an iPad Pro 2018 and the Apple Pencil 2nd gen. Other than that, everything seems to work ok. I love this app, but please check if this is an issue with other users.
