Ratings and Reviews
Awesome, but…
Great app, really nice for messing around with fill ideas on the go.
Main complaint is the payment system. Dunno about anyone else but I’m not paying £30 annually up front for an app I might use once or twice a week.
Let me pay monthly and cancel and resubscribe as and when I want to, and I would absolutely pay for the premium version; I would think most people only use this when writing for new songs, and most of us aren’t writing parts 24/7 so having an annual upfront payment just seems daft IMO.
Other than this, great app!

Best notation app and practice tool for drummers!
Beat Note is a fantastic app. I love the recent addition of “worksheet templates” — I use this with my students to make custom worksheets in their lessons. I can send them home with a PDF of what we worked on in their lesson and send them a link so they can view and listen to the exercises in the app. Easy five stars!
