Bit hit and miss learning how to use it, but eventually you begin to pick things up. Took me a good hour to realise that the delete bar only worked if you pointed the plus sign at the bar line! And it’s been like that with all of this app. Wonder why it has not occurred to the promoters to write a manual! I would say get the app but only if you’ve got plenty of time to sit and work it out and you only want to do simple things with it. It says you can do lyrics, if you can it’s beyond me, and although there is a chord symbol, it is beyond me how you use it, so I’m afraid its the old black pen on the music score!!!! Good luck.Update..... This is a really great app but you need a little patience to learn how to use it. It’s really simple once you get the idea. Tap on a blank bit of the manuscript up comes a x move that to wherever you want the note you’ve selected. If you want a chord over this note, select the chord symbol, tap on a blank bit and move the x to the note and tap again. Same with the lyrics. Everything has to be linked to either a note, rest or bar line. Hope this helps newbies!

Great ease of use, but would seriously suggest a help tab. Had to purchase separate instruments that I don't need in order to get a single bass line, then realised you could change the clef. The sound disappears occasionally. Any ideas why this might be?Overall, although I have only had this for twelve hours, after a quick kip I was desperate to get cracking again.
There’s no subscription cancel button

Ive been using the app on my iPad. I’ve been trying to cancel my subscription but there just isn’t a way to do it. When you put your bank details in it says “to cancel just click cancel subscription in settings” but there is no cancel subscription button in settings. If you go to “app support” it takes you to an internet page that tells you what the app does and how to download it. If you look at FAQ there is nothing about cancelling subscription. It was a useful app but I’m just not using it enough to warrant paying for it but there seems to be no way of stopping them taking my money
Stopped working...

So I was using this app for a little while and it was working ok, very fiddly, but it did work. I might have given it 3 stars? It kept popping up with a screen saying to get the pro version and to start a trial period which was annoying, but pretty normal for an app which has a pro version cos ya know, they want money... However now, when I go onto the app, that screen pops up immediately and there is no option to click off it, which means I straight up can’t use the app anymore. I’ve tried multiple times and can’t get past it. It doesn’t matter as it has‘t cost be any money, but it’s still pretty bad.
