Sheet Music Scanner App Reviews

Macht was es soll

Am learning a string instrument and the ability to hear the scores (from where I choose) that Im trying to learn is so VERY helpful. Am DELIGHTED with how easy this app is. Accessing scores through photos is easy as pie. And immediately hearing them in the tempo of my choice is very happy-making!!! Thank you for your efforts in developing this app!!

Honestly, its pretty useless for snare music - which is why I got it. Regardless, it works well for marimba and other melodic instruments.

I scanned a song in from a photo I saved from a .pdf file. Even with Multiple Voices enabled it would read the treble line alone and then the bass line alone. Also on a song I took a photo of it would miss some notes that were very low on the treble line. Other than that its very good! I love it! Keep up the great work.

Students who could get the app were able to download it and us it to help them with there part! Better than what I thought! This is coming from a choral director! ❤️

Promise kept. Good business.

This app is genius.

Please dont waste your money on such a bad app. It mistakes the dynamics as quarter notes, it doesnt read all of the notes so the sheet music that you scan is choppy and it doesnt play the entire pice. It doesnt pick up grace notes, dynamics, and it plays every note a count more than what the actual value is. I would recommend that you just google your music rather than wasting your money on such a crappy app. Spend your money elsewhere.

I didnt want to forget to say a HUGE thank you for multiple page support!!! Old review: First, I have to say I was very impressed. I have been trying out apps like NotateMe, which dont even have "use a picture from the photo library" feature yet...and cost a lot more. This app does both saved pics and on the spot pics. That is a major strength. I just wish it could recognize more than one page at once . Another strength is that it does a surprisingly good job recognizing the music… esp since the update! What once used to be 90 % accurate in perfect lighting on the first "pass"....missing things like key signatures and tempo is off IS NOW 100 % accurate on fairly complicated pages! For all of them Ive tried. The update also added more musical voices/instruments. Worth $4 and soon will be a contender against the "big" ones (such as notateme which is fast and accurate but has no open in function)....one this app is a bit faster and ESP when you can add multiple pages!

The app works fairly well for reading a picture of a page of sheet music. It doesnt seem to recognize whole notes all the time, though. Also, the export to midi for Garage Band doesnt actually make a file that Garage Band will import. Its amazing that it does actually read and playback sheet music from a photo, but it doesnt quite live up to its promised options.

The only such app I found for iPhone. Simple & efficient. Many thanks !!

Tried many pictures, but the App does not recognise most of the notes.

Was hopeful this would work but it only actually recognizes half the notes on the page making it completely useless. Do not buy!

The application crashes while recognizing the photo with scores. Didnt work for me.

The idea is very good. Scanner and reading music score works fine, but the sound, at least for violin, is not accurate at all. If this problem will be solved the application is worth 4 stars. The 5 stars if it finds a different way to archive scores, I dont think it is good to save scanned scores with your photos, you need a separate database.

Cant believe how well this works! Only does one page at a time, but it plays multiple voices at once very accurately.

This app is so amazing. It works really well and is easy and quick to use! MIND BLOWN.

Didnt think it would work! Incredibly useful and accurate!

I purchased this app yesterday. I have been trying to teach myself how to play the keyboard. I have been trying to learn from books. Its very difficult for me because books often include songs that I have never heard of. As a result, I have a difficult time figuring out how the songs in the book are supposed to sound. In that respect, I am pleased to be able to have an app that could help me with my learning. With this app I have found that the best way for me to use it is to take a photo of the song in the book and import the song into the app as the directions state. If the song is relatively simple as far as notation is concerned, it works great. I have had to do a little makeup job on some of the songs though, because the app didnt quite read a couple of notes (which is not bad). I used the editing capabilities of the native photo app on my iPad to make the photo darker and that helped a lot. I have also found that sometimes the app recognizes a barline as notes, so that needs to be worked on. What I did to remedy that situation was to use another app to cover up the barline. For me, its not a big deal because it does the trick and I can still have a good idea of how the song should sound. All in all, I think this app is very unique just for its function alone, as I could not find any other apps that do all that this one does - especially for the price! I have high hopes for this app and I believe that it is going to serve me well. I am giving the app four stars for now. I hope the developer will continue to improve the app and I am looking forward to more updates. One more thing. I almost purchased an app like this one which was Free. However, I found out by reading the terms of service and privacy policy, that the free app was going to charge a fee for using it. That is another reason why I purchased this app instead of the free one and Im not sorry that I did. Thanks much.

Very useful
