NotateMe Reviews

A pain in the neck

Julsida

This is the most difficult-to-use notation app I've tried, and the most expensive. And I've tried many.

Absolutely the worst notation app in the app store!

I have almost every notation app in the app store, but no matter how hard I try to enter a simple 3 note chord, the stupid app treats the notes as rests and will not allow me to input notes with ledger lines. I am not an amateur. Honestly this is not worth 99 cents let alone the outrageous price that they charge. Buyer beware! I read the entire PDF manual and it too is worthless. I wish I could say something good about it but the handwriting recognition just isn't any good. I am using a 12.9 inch iPad pro and Apple stylus.

Don't buy!

I thought that this app showed promise, but after working with it for fifteen minutes, I can see that it's not what I needed. I wish the App Store had a refund option.

Make No Mistake...This Really is a GREAT APP!!!

Update:***I honestly do not see what the heck past bad reviewers are doing wrong to not be getting great results from this app. Don't believe them, till you try it yourself, because something not right with those reviews*** Make no mistakes from some bad from past reviews, because this app really truly is a ground braking notation app like no other. (And no, I am not connected to the developers of this app in any way). This review is coming from a 20+ year professional music teacher performer (who doesn't really do reviews of apps) that has uses the most powerful desk top notation software(s) on the market for the finally touches on a serious project. But I always start my songs of exercise' with this app and often don't see any need to transfer to a desk programs because this app does so much on its own. I began using NotateMe first on my android tab -and still do (with S-pen) -and now on a iPad Pro w/Apple pen; for past 3+ years. And I am here to say that it's worth every dollar spent. It saves me so much time and I avoid the fatigue of sitting in front of a computer entering in notes on a keyboard, ugh!! But, here's the thing, you really need a decent device; an up-to-date tablet with a good writing instrument (as the developers advise) in order to get all the app has to offer. Then you'll get the results you hear from positive reviewers like me. I mean It's really remarkable how easy it is to use: entering and changing notes, adding new measures, cutting and pasting, save it to Dropbox, sync it to another device and you're good. And i just love everything about the last update. It's great! Also I here that's NotateMe is now linked up and integrated with one of the best tabletop notation software's in the world, Sibelius. That's really saying something to me. I say try the trial version and see for yourself. Then go for it! ~Peace

Have never had a problem

I'm surprised by all the negative comments. I love this app and use it with my piano students who are interested in composition. I have iPad Pro 12.9 and Apple Pencil and it notates so easily. Of course, when I have a complex pattern it often gets it wrong first time, but after I fix it, it seems to get it right every time after that. The copy and paste feature is a great time saver. I have never had a crash.

Useful App!

PKP (!!)

I use Notate Me to transcribe manuscripts of (mostly) Baroque music into modern notation and have found the app to be quick to learn and generally very useful. There are a few things that can be frustrating (Baroque ornamentation, for one!) and I do wish grace notes (with and without slashes through the stems) were included in the menu of notations you can add -- but overall I would recommend this app. It's pricey, but not so much compared to the heavy duty music-processing programs like Sibelius.

Disappointed.

The only reason I bough this app was for the scanning feature. Now I have to pay an extra $30.00 after the initial $40.00. Talk about a scam...
