This definitely has the most functionality out of any free score creator app I’ve seen. It’s just buggy and rather unintuitive. I really would love to use this app, if it didn’t take 5 times longer than necessary to do what I want it to do. Show more

Hi, i just installed this app, and it wouldnt open, so i uninstalled it and tried it again, nothing is working.

Even though there are some bugs in the iPad version in regards to the Apple Pencil, the program is magnificent. And I know I’ve only scratched the surface. I’m using it on both iPad and desktop. Show more

El día 14 compré una suscripción de un mes y justo ahora la app no me permite acceder a la pestaña DISEÑO. En lugar de eso pone un aviso de más suscripciones. Quiero una respuesta satisfactoria. Supongo que no me suscribí a una Prueba Gratis. Show more

It seems most of the clientele are those already using the desktop version. There isn’t much for a brand new, iPad only user, to learn from. At this juncture, it’s taking more time to create a workflow, and it makes writing tedious. Show more

I’ve been using Dorico for about four years now and it just keeps getting better. I’ve written scores for over two dozen songs and I’ve been able to generate audio demos for musicians to listen to and decide whether or not they want to work on the project. Then as part of the project I’ve been able to use templates that format the scores professionally for copyrighting and archiving. In addition to the software the support staff, training staff and community support have all made my life easier by helping me better understand how and why things work and how to build a better workflow for composing and scoring music. I’ve used multiple apps for writing music but now only use Dorico because I believe my time is better spent learning and contributing to a great product with unlimited potential. Show more

Why are there only tutorials for Mac and not iPad on your website. The written tutorials aren’t very helpful. Copy any pasting multiple measures at a times on the iPad does not seem possible. Hopefully I’m wrong because that would be absurd. Spent a lot on this app, would be great if they had better support for iPad users. Show more

As the title indicates, the app is incredible. Of course, I could further expound upon the impressive notation features of this software, but I believe some other reviews would more adequately reflect that. As such, instead of doing that, I’ll briefly discuss the reason why my rating is so low, and the major flaw of the software: The Saving System. Unfortunately, while the auto-save system works relatively well on average, there are times where the application will crash and it will delete the entire file, without the ability to recover the file or to revert to a previous save. The first time this happened, I could excuse the software due to the incredible suite of notation features; the fourth time, however, it crashed and deleted a composition that I had just finished, and had spent 10+ hours on. With no way to recover the file, and absolutely no way I’d remember the entirety of my composition, it was considerably frustrating, and the pinnacle of software futility. My experience has improved as I’ve found ways to accommodate by duplicating files, however, files will still crash regardless. It’s unfortunate that a software as well designed as this suffers with such a abject issue, ruining the otherwise pleasant experience. Show more

Nothing but crashes since getting this app. Sometimes the app will freeze and I can only look at my work before having to close/relaunch the app, losing all my progress. Now the app crashes immediately after attempting to launch, so all my projects are inaccessible. A good composing app, but not a safe one to use for any work you care about. Show more

App was pretty great, but all of a sudden isn’t even opening at all on IOS 15.5. Extremely frustrating. What’s going on??

This app is amazing, effective, and MILES AHEAD of the competition.

If you use the app daily and a lot, the subscription model work for you. I don’t want to pay the annual fees year after year for occasional use. Removed the app from my 12.9 5th gen. Show more

I use Dorico on windows. I was a literal INCH away from buying Staffpad, but the shady reviews and huge up front asking price put me off greatly. I will be subscribing to this instead. The idea that my iPad notation app is effectively the exact same as my main computer notation software, is just nothing short of incredible. This app has been optimized fantastically, and I have zero doubt that only better things are to come. I’m sure I’ll run across some issues here and there but even then, it is an incredibly usable tool as it stands. not having to relearn new software, and having that interface familiarity on my tablet is epic. I hope dorico monopolizes the notation software industry one day, as it stands they are already way ahead of the competition in so many ways. Keep it up! Show more

Having used Dorico on a desktop since version one, I was delighted to see an iPad version, and was amazed to see that it is virtually identical to the desktop version. It is so convenient to have all of my scores on my very portable iPad. The team at Dorico have done a terrific job with this app, and it will only continue to get better. Show more

There’s no denying that iPad screens tend to be a bit small for all this UI, but this is the real dorico engine, so it can render everything flawlessly, and things you put in here translate perfectly back to your main computer. I’m excited to see how much more of “big” dorico the developers will manage to cram into this portable form factor. Word to the wise: I think a physical qwerty keyboard is a must: it’s very helpful to use all the usual key commands. Show more

It’s a dream to have Dorico on and for the iPad, and feels very comfortable. There are no GUI compromises, and you don’t have to really compromise using different key commands. Great job Steinberg. Show more

This app has increased the efficiency of my workflow significantly, being able to work on the go or in convenient locations has really helped me get lots done fast and professionally. If Steinberg were to ever add handwriting recognition like staffpad, they would definitely steal tons and tons of users from from various other competitors I think, they already put Sibelius in there place.

I don't really know how to add a note...

I’m beginning to get very unhappy with this app. I spent hours going through the many learning curves, notated several files and now half them crash the app when I go to open them. So now what do I do? Show more

This is such a fantastic port for the iOS! It is fast and once registered unlocks most all functionality of the desktop version! Really nice job. I am hoping for Apple Pencil support soon as that would be really nice. The user base and support are also amazing! Show more
