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.

Different prices on music when bought on the app!
Thicklizzie
I bought a couple of songs from my computer at $5.50 each. I got the app in order to quickly search for music and add music to my collection as I am taking a class! First off the search app on this is not good versus the online version search. Online you get to chose genre, instrument, note,etc and you get a customized list of results! Online you only get the song you enter and similarly named songs. But back to the prices...choosing a song and putting in your cart in the app results in a $6.99 price tag! If you buy it online the same song will cost $5.50! As their customer service explained the price difference is because of ITunes pricing structure...they can’t charge less! 😒 They should state this in the iTunes App Store before you download! One can purchase a song online then somehow move it into your library, per customer service. I was going to do exactly that with a broadway show tune, I clicked the link to buy the song at $5.50 when it took me to the site, I was pleased to see the song listed at $3.99, YAY! Clicked to add it to my cart and went to pay and the price was $5.50 again! When I clicked back to the page...still $3.99, clicked to add to cart and had another $5.50 song in the cart! I looked at the details description of the song, and it listed the show it was from, the version, the year written, etc...and the price...$3.99! Sketchy! The song didn’t offer the neat doodads like transposing or playback, etc. then why $6.99, $5.50 and $3.99 for one song? Sketchier and sketchier! Don’t get the app...it offers less than just maintaining an online account.

Irritated

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.
