Ratings and Reviews
very good app
I could rely on this app to quickly read my sheet music when I needed and it was, as well, surprisingly accurate. It could read my sheets from photograph and play it back to me. There were some sharp notes it did not read but this was still really good when you think about it. Either way, this app was very smart and i’m so happy I found it when I did.

PlayScore 2 should not miss sharps. Try more light, flatter page. Always photo from centre so you get a square image. Thanks for your review. Support@playscore.co
Almost 100% perfect!
This app, is perfect for my needs (amateur choir) to get the music and practise a specific part. The play line really helps for practising phrasing and you get the benefit of having the lyrics, which you wouldn’t get if you export to a musicxml app.
It has been accurate in reading the notes, which is amazing it has also saved me hours and hours compared with the last app which I needed to capture a page, export it into MuseScore to join the pages (and the musescore mobile app seems to want a subscription to play it back). I also tried using musescore’s pdf scanner which you have to wait for (it does it on the website) and it had a lot of mistakes, and that was from a scan instead of a photo, with this app I am finding no errors from scans and very few from phone camera (usually my fault with lighting)
It is well worth reading the how to use page on their web site (which didn’t do initially), sometimes there may be a problem with a poor image and the web site tells you how to deal with it.
The app developer is amazingly responsive and when you couple that with how inexpensive it is for a year it is pretty incredible. I probably didn’t need the £14 version as since I have got this I don’t need to export to midi of musicxml, but it is still great value.
I have had the odd quirk, but the app developer is so responsive that I am sure the app will get better and better rapidly.
It gets the job done and its pretty amazing how it can read everything..
Musical Marvel
I have recently picked up my flute again to play in a Concert Band after a 28 year break, so am obviously a little "rusty"...
I was very excited to find this app as it means I can play along with my part at home as I struggle to remember what all the little black dots mean, what a # is, let alone worrying about tempo and volume! The hope is that I then wont completely embarrass myself in front of my fellow musicians, or put them off too much by coming in at the wrong place / time etc.
I initially used the free version of the app, but as I wanted to upload .pdfs and gain full functionality I upgraded to the Professional version.
One week in, I have found it a great help for some pieces, but for others (such as the one attached) the app ignores rest bars / misses some runs and at other times plays completely the wrong notes entirely - it may as well be me!!!
I got in touch with the developers, who replied in just a few hours - the problem was with the terrible resolution on the files I’d uploaded, NOT the app.
So, all-in-all, it’s a GREAT APP.
See you at The Albert Hall!!!
