Beam Music 4+

Love the app it’s great for having music in front of everyone but every now and then it will randomly crash.

Overall Beam is great! It’s easy to use on the field, especially the annotation features. In rehearsal I always mark my step offs in my music to help me remember.
On game day, I used the live mode feature to stay in synch with my director. It worked well! But when I exited live mode and went to open my music at halftime, all of my notes were missing from my music. I tried closing and opening the app again but that wasn’t working. My notes kept coming back after zooming in and out but then would disappear again. This had never happened to me before. The only difference between rehearsal and game day was that I had used the live mode feature. But I don’t know how or if those features correlate.
I do enjoy using Beam, and I hope this bug gets fixed!

My collegiate band uses this, and it is not great. It crashes all the time, really randomly and inconveniently. The crashing has been getting worse since I first started with Beam a year ago. Notations from other songs will randomly appear on my music, and sometimes notations will disappear completely and not come back. The search feature rarely works, which isn’t great when I’m quickly looking for a certain song from a long library. Sometimes when I’m writing annotations they won’t stick, won’t erase, and multiple versions of what I’ve wrote and erased come and go. When flipping between pages or pieces, stuff often won’t load (no matter how good the internet connection), leaving me stranded on the field with a blank screen. The save zoom fails a lot too, which is confusing and frustrating when a piece of music is big and long.
Everyone in my 300+ member band is having these issues. Overall, not a great software.
