So I started the app and I saw a “Watch Tutorial Here” button so I pressed on it. Behold, the ‘Buy Pro’ or ‘7 Days Free Trial Now’ page pops up immediately, and there is NO WAY OUT of it. Yes, I have looked at every single corner and try to find the smallest hidden test, but there is just no way out of that page. I tried to close the app fully and restart it, the same page is still there. The only way for me to remove that page is reinstall the app and I tried 4 times!!! Only because it has such a high rating. The 2nd time I went in, I clicked on something else, and well guess what, the same page popped up again. As soon as I accidentally press something, it tells me to pay.Such a disappointment. I realized Sibelius has a free app and it works so well, use that one because it doesn’t tell you to pay as soon as you press pretty much everything!!!
Really need to add a report button

The app is great because it allows people to freely compose and arrange music as well as share them with others. However, the downside to this app is it’s steep price for full features (which is not really that great to have actually) and that there are certain users who choose to steal and re-upload music composed by other people (there’s this guy/girl called kindsans, he/she has been stealing a lot of original compositions and renaming them under his/her name). Please add a report button so that we can stop others from stealing our music.
Literally cannot make anything
what a nice name
If you are using the free version, every button leads to an ad. Like the amount of ads is even more the some crappy mobile game. And you know whats even worse? You cannot change the TEMPO (unless you buy premium), you cannot change the TIME SIGNATURE, its locked in 4/4 (you can change it unless you buy premium). The UI is so empty, like i was surprised it was this crappy. So, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS, and do not pay for premium, just buy Musescore or use different app like Flat.
- fixed bugs
- optimized animation when rotating
