Amazing App, with a few shortcomings
12/15/2019

So I've been using this app for quite a long time and have spent a bunch of money on sheets. I love that I can import my own PDFS and playing from an iPad Pro is amazing . My only criticisms would be that it is cheaper to purchase sheets through a web browser than it is to purchase direct through the app. I understand that they are trying to pass apples fees along to the user and I have no problem with this but they dont inform you anywhere along the purchase process that the songs can be had for less if purchased through another route. Customers want to save money just like you, Why not tell them?Only other comment is no Apple Pencil support for markups!! Such a missed opportunity. I love to add embellishments or change chords or add notes and it would be SUCH a benefit to have Apple Pencil support whereas currently you just use a finger for "markups" which is good for nothing other than circling things.

I want to start by saying I generally love this app. I am a violinist and strings teacher and this app allows me to operate hands free when I play weddings and find some neat pieces for my students. That said, something happened in the last update, and now my first gen Apple Pencil doesn’t work. And I’m mad. I need to be able to mark my music (I’ve been able to mark it before without issue). The apple pencil works on other apps, so I know that isn’t the problem. I will will mark and nothing will show up. The ‘undo’ button still appears as though I have marked something, but there isn’t anything there. Please fix it ASAP!! Thanks!!!7/17- thank you for the response! Yes, I’ve been putting “draw” feature on. It won’t work for the highlighter or the pen. (I have used both just fine in the past.)7/18- this is ridiculous! You have asked me whether I have been using the app in “draw” mode a SECOND time. YES- and it isn’t working!!!! So now not only is my app not working, but the customer service is non-existent! I’m going to be looking into a new system for my music. Extremely dissatisfied.

I love this app. I have been using it for several years and find little room for improvement. I use an Apple pencil to mark repeats etc which makes it so much easier to move around in the piece by marking repeats etc. I use a Bluetooth foot pedal and it and the mark ups make it faster to get around. I admit I have purchased a couple of musics from another app. The music on each came in quite small and hard to read. The pieces from Musicnotes are clear and easy to read. If there is one thing I would like to see, it’s in sorting. It would be nice to be able to sort in both directions. I have quite a few purchased and free pieces. When sorted alphabetically I always seem to be playing the songs earlier in the alphabet instead of going down to the end. I would like to sort in the opposite direction.

I downloaded app and created account and did the same on the website. Initially, couldn’t purchase songs from app (could search songs but not click on them). I bought a song from website and didn’t show up on app. I got frustrated and downloaded the Hal Leonard app Sheet Music Direct and it worked fine. Then came back to this app 1/2 hour later and it appears to be working.I upped my review to 4 stars just based on the fact that the developer responded to me that all appeared to be working. Shame though that I’d already gone to the Hal Leonard App and downloaded some music so I’ve got a critical mass of lead sheets now on that app (which seems to work fine). I wish the app/developer would have said that it can take up to 1/2 hour or so for download to happen and content to sync across their platforms (I did give it a bit of time and it sure looked like the app was just hung).
