    Pining for the fjords
    To paraphrase Monty Python’s famous parrot sketch, this is a dead app. It has ceased to be. This is an ex application. I thought this app would become a great must-have tool. Instead, it hasn’t been updated in four years. I paid for everything one could get with this app, thinking I was supporting the developers and helping to ensure its future. Ha! Show more

    Completely useless!!!
    Keeps crashing/freezing on me! My IpadPro has 1TB of storage and nothing else is running on the background. I paid good money for this piece of crap and am now frustrated and back to square one as far as my projects! This is proof positive that all Silicon Valley is good for are useless apps that publish likes and dislikes from idiots!!! Show more

    No longer supported
    Great concept but unfortunately not ready for professional use. Have not seen any development in quite some time.

    Fine line between works fine and unusable.
    I’ve used this product for a couple hours so far. There is quite a learning curve. Sometimes it works fine. Other times useless. I would not buy again knowing what I know now. Show more

    Impressed
    Great app! First thing I noticed is the handwriting recognition is best I’ve used. I love the two staff layout , one for your handwriting and other the computer version. Sometimes in other apps, it’s confusing when the app realize your writing before your finished and you can’t see your original idea, here the staff w your original idea is never changed, it feels like a separate sketch paper on one staff and the computer interpretation on the other. Also very easy to enter notes between existing notes and a separate pen for comments is nice! Show more

    Outstanding Application!
    This app is exactly what I was looking for! Handwriting recognition is excellent. Photo recognition app worked amazingly well on some old music books I purchased many years ago. Having the image converted and played was well worth the purchase! Show more

    Useful App!
    I use Notate Me to transcribe manuscripts of (mostly) Baroque music into modern notation and have found the app to be quick to learn and generally very useful. There are a few things that can be frustrating (Baroque ornamentation, for one!) and I do wish grace notes (with and without slashes through the stems) were included in the menu of notations you can add -- but overall I would recommend this app. It's pricey, but not so much compared to the heavy duty music-processing programs like Sibelius.

    Disappointed.
    The only reason I bough this app was for the scanning feature. Now I have to pay an extra $30.00 after the initial $40.00. Talk about a scam...

    Have never had a problem
    I'm surprised by all the negative comments. I love this app and use it with my piano students who are interested in composition. I have iPad Pro 12.9 and Apple Pencil and it notates so easily. Of course, when I have a complex pattern it often gets it wrong first time, but after I fix it, it seems to get it right every time after that. The copy and paste feature is a great time saver. I have never had a crash. Show more
