๐ผ App Review Roundup ๐ผ
The Good Stuff
This app is hitting all the right notes for many users! ๐
- ๐ Working as Expected: "It worked as it should be!" Simple and effective!
- ๐ Impressive Performance: "Wow, amazing how well this app works. I am very impressed." Leave it to the app to exceed expectations!
- ๐น Kid-Friendly: Parents are jazzed up, like the one whose child is learning piano: "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."
- ๐ค Choir Helper: Even choir members are fans: "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."
- โฑ Lifesaver for Transcribers: Transcribing hymns? No problem! "What was once a 4-hour trek per page to get a proper midi file now takes less than 4 min." ๐โโ๏ธ๐จ
Somewhat Buggy and Glitchy ๐ค
Users encountered a few hiccups and bugs ๐:
- PDF Pop-ups: "There's a bug that whenever I open a PDF file, the app opens and pops up."
- Image Quality Matters: "Not perfect but pretty useful. Image of the music has to be clear and evenly lighted to get a clear translation."
Room for Improvement ๐
The app could use some tuning:
- ๐ป Ghost Notes: "Sometimes it confuses the notes for ghost notes and I have to retake the picture multiple times." Casper, stop hiding in the music!
- Note-Worthy Suggestions: "Great app to help you learn a song. It would be better if you could make some edits to the music to fix the occasional note that is skipped."
- ๐ก Features Wishlist: "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."
The Not-So-Great ๐ญ
Some experiences hit a sour note ๐ถ:
- Key Problems: "It does not read sheet music very well and plays it in the wrong key and speed. Very disappointing ๐"
- Not Soprano-Alto Friendly: "Love the app, would like to split the soprano and alto notes as well though."
- ๐ Awful Performance: "It's awful :( I got this app because I was struggling to read sheet music for piano in jazz band and it is just awful. 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.."
- ๐ฅ Percussion Woes: Percussionists, beware! "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."
Conclusion ๐ต
Overall, the app hits plenty of high notes with users finding it very helpful for learning and practicing music. However, it stumbles on a few common bugs and wish-list features. For some, especially percussionists and those dealing with complex or poor-quality sheets, it might just miss the beat. ๐ฅ๐ถ
