Reviews Summary

🎶 Overview of App Reviews 🎶

General Impressions:

  • Works like a charm! Users are overall impressed with the app's functionality and effectiveness. It's doing its job well! 🚀
  • Learning Aid: This app comes out as a trusty sidekick, particularly for children learning piano and choir practice. 🎹👶
  • Time Saver: One user's verdict, it cuts down transcribing sheet music from 4 hours to 4 minutes! 🕒➡️😲

Pros:

  • Versatile Functions: Features like tempo adjustment, different instrument playback, and section listening are hit! 🎧🎻
  • Educational Tool: Ideal for sight-reading, pitch, and timing practice, particularly useful for kids and choir singers. 🎼👩‍🎤
  • Remarkable Technology: Shoutouts to the developers for this impressive piece of tech. 👏🤖

Cons:

  • Buggy Experience: Some folks encountered bugs, like the app popping up annoyingly when opening PDFs. 🐛💥
  • Pristine Quality Needed: The app demands crystal-clear music sheets, which can be frustrating. Any pen scratches or slight deviations can wreak havoc. 🧐📝
  • Accuracy Issues: Notes sometimes being misread as ghost notes and failing to play all notes correctly, including issues handling ties and rests. 👻🔍
  • Incorrect Playback: Complaints about music being played in the wrong key, speed, and octave. Not great for jazz band or percussion. 🎷😓🥁
  • Limited Editing: Users wish for a feature to edit and correct errors directly within the app. ✏️🔄

Suggestions:

  • Split Voices: Requests are up for the ability to distinguish and split soprano and alto notes for choir sheets. 🗣️🔀
  • Metronome Addition: Adding a starting metronome tempo would be a cherry on top! ⏲️🎶

Final Word:

  • Mixed Bag: While some found it life-changing, others hit a sour note. Nonetheless, it promises efficiency and fun for budding musicians with a few improvement areas. 🎤💡

"This is a vert handy app. My child is learning piano, so it really helps for her to see the notes being played. Along with the ability to adjust the tempo, this makes a great tool."

"I sing in a choir and I don't play any instruments. I have been looking for an app to use when practicing at home and this is the best app by far that I have found"

"I've scanned roughly 150 hymns so far using this app. This app can be finnicky at times. If the sheet music's author adds a slightly smaller note, or if a pen scratch covers crucial places, it can be a pain to get right if at all. But otherwise, it has roughly an 80% success rate for me, and I haven't looked at his guide on how to use it yet. This is easily the best app I've used to transcribe sheet music. What was once a 4 hour trek per page to get a proper midi file now takes less than 4 min"

"Amazing technology and kudos to the Developers! I only purchased and downloaded 2 days ago but I'm very impressed with the ability to listen to different sections of the music score. I'm kind of in a learning phase for music overall but joined a choir for a Christmas program As a learning opportunity and this app is helping immensely."

"so far a Positive experience with my limited use. While there are obvious errors in the playback like not recognizing tied notes or multiple bars of rests tied together with a number above, I feel the APP is going to be quite beneficial and 90%accurate. I'd like to see or hear a starting metronome tempo and need a way to edit the playback or correct some of its errors like skipping through repeats. On the positive side, choosing the instrument to hear playback in has a great selection."

"This is 100% worth the money. The only reason it's not 5 stars is because when I take a picture of the music, sometimes it confuses the notes for ghost notes and I have to retake the picture multiple times. Even after cleaning my camera. Other than that, a very good app to use and would definitely recommend"

"Not perfect but pretty useful. Image of the music has to be clear and evenly lighted to get a clear translation, but for scanning a kid's sheet music to allow them to the hear what the pitch and timing should be, it's great. Choice of instrument for playback and ability to change tempo and pitch are great features."

"Big thanks to creators for creating this app. However, it seems that the music sheets need to be of pristine quality for this app. I have tried several scanned sheets, and the app would not pick up on many notes. Moreover, for choir sheets, if two voices are on the same line, the app does not allow to choose either upper or lower notes. Unfortunately , I cannot use this app."

"It's aweful :( I got this app because I was struggling to read sheet music for piano in jazz band and it is just aweful. It doesn't read every note. It won't play both right and left hand at the same time. It's playing notes in the wrong octave. Just bad overall, very disappointing.."

"Horrible, I spent five bucks on this app and it can't read percussion music at all. I tried like 20 different songs and it didn't work with any of them. Super frustrated. Would not recommend for percussion"
