Maestro - Music Composer 4+

Great

This is a very versatile tool, it’s great for writing music, even on mobile! I just wish that on mobile there was an auto flip screen—so that we didn’t have to manually flip the screen— and that the help menu was a lot more informative, like for example:
I was trying to play a certain part, I go to the help menu and see what it says, all it shows is the < | & | > buttons highlighted, and of course my first thought is to tap it once or twice, and obviously that doesn’t work because that’s not how the function works. Instead it took me 2-3 minutes (I know) to figure out that you had to tap it and then tap where you want it to start/end.

Developer Response ,

Hello gfhjdhhfn, Thank you for the detailed feedback. We will do our best to keep improving Maestro.

Amazing, with a few problems.

I have used it for a good bit of time now, and it’s the best one I found. I have now started to write a few pieces on it, and it definitely deserves to be one of the most well-known music-writing apps, because it certainly is one of the best. Sadly, I encountered a few problems, like when an instrument goes high, it doesn’t make room for it, it just blends it in with the line above, or how it doesn’t have an option for notation like ‘expressivo’ or other important musical notation. Also, the only grace notes I found were ones that add the note right below it, but I haven’t looked that hard, or in a while. There’s a weird glitch that makes it so I can’t have a starting dynamic and then a crescendo or decrescendo on a whole note, it always gets rid of the first one I add when I add in the second one(If I put in the dynamic, then a crescendo or decrescendo, the dynamic disappears, and when I put in a crescendo or decrescendo and then go in to put in a dynamic, the crescendo/decrescendo disappears). The dynamics don’t work in the play through, so I can’t hear the melody over the accompaniment. I also don’t have access to my password in any way, so I can’t sign in on any other devices, so I’m stuck on my phone. These may seem like a lot, but all but the last two are pretty small issues (and minor annoyances), and all are easily fixable. I definitely recommend Maestro, and those other apps should take some notes.

Easy to use and fun to make

This game is actually really good, I’m in my first year of band so I’m not that familiar with some of the stuff but Maestro makes it easy to create good music, you can do so much cool stuff, like change the tempo and adding other instruments. Some of the sounds are a little funny. The only few things that I would improve with this app is that they should add more percussion instruments, also sometimes when I add bar lines it wants me to add rests in places I don’t want them which is annoying. Also another thing is that sometimes when you want another instrument too play the same thing as another, it says it’s lined up but when I play the music it’s off or in a completely different place than the music says. Overall, this is a really fun and cool way to create music, it’s easy to use, although I wish it didn’t have so many ads, it is still so entertaining.
