Appmuse

Just what I needed to give a basic piano player the sheet music she needs, ranging from simple to intermediate, plus audio of the tune so she can learn some blues tunes and play along with us! Show more

The app downloaded successfully but won't load on my Mac laptop running 10.14.6 (Mohave). Unusable app

This app is incredibly frustrating to use. It is not possible to select a specific part of the song to start playback. You can only start playback at the start of each page. There is also no loop feature. Terrible app. Pales in comparison to PowerTab, a free app that was released in 2000. Show more

I'm on Mojave on my Mac mini, app will not open at all.

The app works fine on my iOS devices; however, it crashes every time I want to transpose or use other features. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, but it still happens. Here’s part of the error message just in case someone at Musicnotes is reading this: Application Specific Information: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[NSTableView setStyle:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7ff5da2a6920' abort() called terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException Show more

Whenever you mute the vocal and restart the song the vocal is there again - but the interface shows that it is muted. Also if you fit to the sides and it goes to the next page the page is low res until you zoom out and in again. Also it'd be nice to be able to start at a specific bar. The volume of the playing feature for some reason is very quiet. Show more

If you purchase sheet music from Musicnotes be sure to download the pdf because this app won't show it. It just sits there with the default songs.

This software used to be the best. I've used on Mac and PC, there used to be features such as hovering over a note would show the note for a quick check, the ability to chose certain phrases and isolate them. I don't understand, why the change? I see a better version for an M1 chip, which I do not have unfortunately. Hope functionality and features get added soon! Show more

...but apparently no new work on it in the past 2 years to address any of the concerns or "wish list" items seen in the reviews, such as being able to display 2 sheets at the same time (and preferably, the current sheet plus the next sheet - so as it plays and moves to the 2nd displayed sheet, that becomes the first, and the sheet "next up" is displayed with it). Musicnotes needs to show an actual interest in their customer base. Show more

For how much money I have spent for this, I would have expected this app to be at a better spot. I agree with a lot of pointers here but displaying 2 pages at once should have been added AGES ago. I would have left a lower rating but since this is still useful to me I split the difference. I will update it again if they update this app. Show more

The password saved in my computer (and the one I recorded separately) doesnt work on the app. Outrageous. Total garbage when the password doesnt work lolol.

The sheet music, from musicnotes.com, is quality... no problems there, but readers should remeber that this review is for the app. Using a new enough Macbook with latest OS. The play along functions are abysymal.. is that how that is spelled? Two view options: 1. text for ants, views one entire page with microscopic font size. 2. 4 bars... just the treble cleff...visible...what's the change in the next bar going to be?? Anybody's guess, really. You'll find out what that next measure has in store, but not until after it's been played by the backing track! How fun is that? Answer: not at all. Anyways, quality transcriptions though... Show more

it won’t load and it won’t open. Positively useless

This could be such an amazing app not only for playing / practicing, but also for learning. The fact that you can only display one page at a time is ridiculous and we should also be able to select and loop any part of the music. I've reached out to them about this and get the typical canned responce "thanks for reaching out, we'll pass this on..." blah blah blah. This app has so much potential, it's a shame they ignore it. Show more

I've using this app for quite a while and my frustration reminds why I don't use anymore. Not able to rewind or loop sections, important features of a music application.

Love the app, but it always turns off. Then you have to restart. Frustrating.

There is absolutely no option to print single-sided if you're printing to a duplex-enabled printer. And of course, because of DRM issues, you can't save a PDF and adjust it. (No, no. That costs extra.) Show more

I really regret getting this app and purchasing sheet music through this app. The interface is just absolutely terrible. You cannot select where in the sheet music you'd like music to play, so if you are trying to practice just a few measures, you'll have to listen to the entire tab each time. That is just terrible. On top of that, only the sheet music is highlighted as the song plays out, not the tab as well, which makes it more difficult to follow along. I would advise anyone interested in apps like this to not get this one. I have used GuitarPro in the past, and it works amazingly. Very dissapointed. Show more

I have a fairly new MacBook Air with OS Catalina. If being able to click anywhere on the music, ability to loop sections or not being able to stop/start without going through the entire page then this is not the app for you. Apparently these features are not available on the computer. Here was their reply: Unfortunately, the selection and looping features are not present within the Musicnotes app for Mac. The Musicnotes app for Mac and the Musicnotes app for iOS, for iPhones and iPads, do have discrepancies in available features at this time. Disappointing. I really need these features to learn difficult parts of a song. They gave me a refund but would have been nice for them to disclose these deficiencies. Show more

This app does what I need, but I really wish I could see more than one page at a time. There is plenty of space on my screen to see at least 2, if not 3 pages at a time, yet there's all this extra space on each side of the one page when in "full screen" mode... Show more
