    Rubbish. A waste to of money
    I’m a bagpipe player, and this app is terrible for my sheets music. Not sure how it is for others. The scan misses notes even on the cleanest sheet music Notes sounds are terrible. It sounds like a mouse screaming at me Misses grace notes and embellishments Show more

    Outstanding Job on Complex Classical Guitar PDF
    I used Sheet Music Scanner (SMS) on a purchased complex Classical Guitar tune on PDF. I then exported the XML to the Guitar Pro App which I use for editing and guitar practice. SMS did a fantastic job. I only needed to do small edits to about 10 out of the 140 bars. Most of the edits were required because the software missed slap symbols. The music contained numerous tied notes which SMS handled perfectly. SMS did a significantly better job than the better known PlayScore 2 which necessitated me editing 95% of the bars. In fact most of the bars had so many errors that I would have had to manually input all of the notes. SMS is now my go-to music scanner software. It did an outstanding job. It is also sold at a bargain price. Show more

    It mostly works!
    Awesome app. Couldn’t read coda / ds al coda. I definitely recommend buying this.

    fantastic start
    music scanning is still evolving. this app outperforms similar apps costing far more. if the developer keeps updating and adding new features, it will be the best in its field. very useful for hearing back your own compositions and as a practice aid. all music scanner make mistakes, but this is the real deal. ignore a few negative reviews from people that have unrealistic and unknowledgeable expectations about what music scanners are currently capable of. and for the price, this app is a steal.

    Absolutely incredible for the price
    For five bucks, this app is hard to beat. It’s more accurate than software that costs ten times as much, and it’s super user friendly. Is too bad you can’t edit the music (move any improperly detected notes, add ones that were missed due to print quality) but at this price I can’t complain. Great for assisting with learning music.

    Waste of money
    I bought this app as I wanted to make sure I was playing this piece right for my jazz band. It got almost every note wrong, completely ignored rests and the tempo was all over the place. Unless someone can help me fix it, I’d like my five dollars back. Show more

    Thank you for taking my money
    I just needed something simple to practice to. I auditioned all kinds of desktop software - one even over $400. None worked as well as quickly as this app. I only wish I could get my time back from the trying out the other apps. Show more
