#1 app

Awesome app I bought it and it really helps me understand with music, my concern the time signature is there another way instead of drawing the time signature.
Unresponsive
Léitheoir
The program is really unresponsive. It looks great in the videos but you never get it to recognize a note on the first go. It might take three or six tries before a note is recognized – using either an Apple pen or a finger. When one is trying to enter a bar between two notes, one gets a tie once or twice (after several tries at each) before a bar is finally accepted. These problems occur with the most basic inputs. I'm giving up and going back to Notion – which isn't perfect either but is better than this piece of junk. I guess I'm out my $12 plus whatever I spent on some in-app purchases.
I love this app!!! A great compositional tool

It’s like the best thing that happened to my iPad after OnSong, Forescore and the new notes app. A simple app by Kawai, a great product. Unlike the Microsoft one this writes everything out straight away when you input it. Tips: - Use spacer tool (three 1/4 notes picture top left) to space out correctly - Set-up the double tap auto zoom to fit a bar more comfortably than the 800%, I have mine to a bar - Take time to play around learn how they want you to input symbols, there aren’t that many! - Backup regularly - Take your time to learn the quirks, there aren’t that many I can’t believe more people aren’t ranting and raving about this, Apple should promote it, for me it feels like it might be close to the new microsoft one but without the $$$ of buying a surface.
Like the app for learning

I use the app to copy notes from paper. For learning and for then importing into Synthesia, for learning.
Simple, quick, bad transpositions

I like the quick entry and ease of editing. Much more intuitive than many apps. But the transposition logic is simply wrong. A change from C Major to c minor does not mean shifting all pitches up 3 semi-tones. The tonic is still C!
Does NOT work as advertised

The handwriting features don’t work as well as the videos show. It takes multiple tries to get any note to show correctly. The scores are hard to edit, and the gestures to edit things don’t even work. You can’t get a refund on this, so I don’t recommend buying it!!! It does not work well. I was hoping to have an easy tool to compose music, but it’s more trouble than it’s worth.
