I love this app. It works well and it's extremely cost effective (I've been using it for free)! I'm a church pianist (I play for 2 different churches for a total of 2 Sunday services and 2 choir practices per week.) and I accompany a high school choir for concerts as well as other smaller gigs here and there. I've used a Donner page-turn pedal for over a year and recently invested in an apple pencil as well. Piascore holds all my music, and makes it extremely easy to download new scores from my google drive! My favorite features: - Writing and taking notes is convenient: with apple pencil you just touch to write with whatever color you used last; without the pencil you long press to write with your finger (which I still thought was very convenient compared to another software that made you go through a short series of menus to write). - You can add jump points for quick turning between repeated sections. - You can adjust single pages that are a little crooked and crop them as well! - You can create tags and make set lists to better organize your music from the master list that is alphabetical by default (but you can change it to be organized by recent, title, or artist). - There's a setting you can turn off that is "Start from first page". I flip between books quickly and this was very cumbersome to me so I'm happy to turn it off! My suggestions: - I wish you could export a list of what's in each tag the same way you can a setlist. I also wish that you could select songs in a tag and "add all to set list/other tag". Currently when looking at a tag, if you press the select button it takes you out of the tag and you see your whole score list again. - I would like a way to organize set lists into folders. I have a setlist for every Sunday church service and I like to keep them so I can see what we did last year (for planning purposes). However my list of set lists is becoming quite long. I would like to organize them into folders by month and then maybe by year or season (creating folders inside folders) if possible. - I have a lot of hymn PDF's that start with numbers (I.e. 314 In the Garden) and it would be nice if the quick menu in the All Scores list had numbers to jump to (even if it was just 3, 5, and 7. Anything more than "#" would be helpful). - When you're fast-scrolling through a set list, I appreciate the recent addition of the red arrows to show the start of each piece and would like to suggest that you also display the title of the piece over each page preview for easier searching.

Honestly I didn’t know about this app until a month ago. As a choir director and Fine Arts Director this app is a gift. I no long need to travel with a bunch of paper sheet music. I absolutely love it!
Best sheet music app

Absolutely nothing negative to say about this app. Although there are some pieces that I can’t seem to find(Ex. Bach The Art of Fugue) there is always the option to download the sheet music from chrome and load it into Piascore. Highly recommend :)
So many nice features

This is my first foray into playing my violin music on a tablet. I was reluctant at first, but I keep finding more features that make this a pleasure. One unexpected benefit is that I make many more marks in my music because I know that I can easily erase temporary notes completely. I also like being able to mark the music in different colors. The “stamping” feature makes nice clean up- and down-bow marks, as well as fingerings, dynamics, etc. All the editing features are well thought-out. And I don’t have to carry around a big bag of quartet music now. Well done! Bravo!

Love that I can tx sheet music from my PC and song books to my IPad Pro with Piascore

I can carry around a virtual library and call up any piece of music at church in an instant. We can now add a piece to fill time without me having to stand over the piano player. I also can turn pages backward and forward with a tap of my toe. The jumps are handy for bigger pieces. Pretty basic usability. There is also a built in keyboard/piano where I can figure out parts without disrupting rehearsal. It works perfectly with my HP Smart app for importing scores directly to my iPad. It has reduced my prep time for mass considerably and I can only get more efficient. Bravo!
Works well!

Have the two page setting for Rachmaninoff second piano concerto for light review. For page turns in practice the facial gesture is extremely handy. The single page view is clear and easy to read.Looking forward to using this app while learning new pieces.
Excellent!
