Harp ♥️ ,

Best $5 I’ve spent in my entire life!

Thank you so much to whoever developed this App - it works exactly as you advertise it to and it has brought so much joy to me in the past day since I purchased it! 💗💗Your App has inspired me to return to my love of learning to play the harp, many years after I had to stop lessons. Listening to songs I used to play (but can no longer) brought tears to my eyes. I can only imagine how helpful this will be to so many people learning their favourite instrument(s) too. Thank you for pretty much what I think is the best invention since the harp! 🎵❤️❤️

Does very basic job with issues

If this app was free it would be the type of app I would delete in like 2 weeks- but it’s not and its $7.99. It can’t scan some basic sheet music, it can’t register double accidentals (which is listed in the limitations so im less fussed about that), you can’t mix the sound levels or transpose (the score, it can transpose the audio) but what really ticks me off is that when I convert the sheet music to XML, it has no lyrics or chords, and for PDF, the quality is abysmal. As a music student, having to transcribe the chords and lyrics again in my music notation software is a complete waste of time. It’s also advertised as a scanner, but has no options for scanning the sheet music taken from a photo such as cropping, greyscale, etc. For this price, at least a few of these features should be guaranteed and also perform at a medium-high standard. Currently looking at other options, and hopefully they issue refunds.

Great App

This is great - It read my PDF sheet music great and wow it’s a life saver it’s almost perfect. The only thing is instead of a on/off switch for the Multiple voices, I wish that it was more customisable, I’m in a choir and I would like to adjust it so you can turn off/turn down some of the other voices and instrumentals. i.e. on a slider for each line: Line 1 (sopranos), Line 3(tenor) and Line 4(base) at half volume, Line 2 (alto) at full volume and Lines 5 & 6 instrumentals at about 1/3. If you get what I mean, it makes it easier to learn against other lines while still hearing your part the most until you have it 100% and then you can turn everything up to 100%. Anyway great app, well worth the money!
