Appmuse

My school is using this app for our production of Mamma Mia and it’s fine. I really like that I can isolate my vocal part when I practice at home. However, I don’t like that your phone has to open to hear the songs. Sometimes when I'm practicing, my phone will turn off because I’m not pressing any buttons and the music stops playing. When you have a smaller vocal part and only have the notes playing with out the background stuff playing, it can take a while to notice the app is off which wastes a lot of time. We use this app during rehearsals to and it annoying when we have to stop to turn the app back on. I also wish there was a way to see all the lyrics so you don’t have to have your script on you to practice. It’s also a little annoying because you have to have your ringer on and when you get a text it is distracting. It’s a solid app but really could be better if these things were changed. Show more

It won’t play sounds. Otherwise it looks great. No support options from app. Even the MTI mobile website one is directed to from the App Store doesn’t work right. Pretty bad experience overall considering we paid for access. Show more

This app is very fun I got to say that it’s the perfect place to practice songs for plays and performances ?

I just got this app and spent forever trying to figure out how to get ANY sound. Luckily I thought to check the reviews and saw that other people said to turn on the ringer. So far it’s worked fine past that, but that should be a more broadcasted thing so that we don’t have to spend so long trying to understand Show more

There's no audio.

For me, I can’t hear any sound. My volume is the whole way up and I’ve tried so many times to fix this.

Being on this app makes me feel like a Disney princess

i hate it

I’m using this app for the first time, we’re a couple of weeks into rehearsals of 9 to 5. I would usually use some kind of music composition app to help learn my part, but that involved inputting each note one at a time, sometimes for more than one vocal part so I could hear how the harmonies fit together or better understand where a part came in, which was all very time consuming (and I usually just didn’t even bother with the accompaniment). This app makes singling out my part a lot easier… but not quite easy enough. For one, the vocal parts aren’t always clearly labeled or they may be called different terms by the musical director-for example in the opening number I sing the alto part for the first chorus, which is the melody, but in the app it seems that part is second soprano. Another issue along these same lines is that I do switch from alto to second soprano within the same song, but there is no way to change that so I can play the alto part and then the second soprano unless I just pause the song entirely, and my only other option is to play both parts simultaneously. The biggest drawback between this app and my previous method of playing back my vocal part is that I could change the instrument for my vocal part so that I could easily differentiate it from the other parts. With this app, the vocal parts are all played on piano, which means it blends together with the other parts and even the accompaniment. Yes, obviously you can mute the other parts, but when it comes to things like trying to figure out where a part comes in over the backing track or trying to hear what your part sounds like against, say, the other parts of the harmony or overlapping leads, well, it all just sounds like piano. It would be EXTREMELY nice if we could get a handful of different sounds (personally, I always tended to go for a xylophone or marimba) to use for the vocal parts. Being able to skip between sections is great, I do kind of wish you could have all of the lyrics in the app instead of just the first line of a section. It seems like there is some way for the music director/director/etc. to make changes in things like tempo so it syncs with the cast’s app, which is super nice! However we’ve had several instances where it was decided to cut a few measures (things like dance breaks, etc.) and I assume this is easier to do when doing the actual show, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to do that within this rehearsal app without manually skipping to the next section. This has led to a lot of confusion and false starts in our actual rehearsal since we’ve decided to cut those measures but we still end up sitting through them waiting for our next cue. (I could be entirely wrong about this part since I’m just an ensemble member and not the music director, this is just my understanding of it.) Other than that, the app’s pretty solid, although it’s common for it to stop working altogether until the person closes it out entirely and starts it up again. Show more

I’ve been using RehearScore to practice songs for a musical that I’m in, but the practice loop is broken. Almost every time I use the practice loop one random measure just simply doesn’t play. This makes it impossible to practice and extremely frustrating. Please, please fix this. Show more

I have used it for only one show and it is great for running through scenes with the cast. However, you cannot solo the instruments, so the band has much less flexibility when practicing. Could be much better. Show more

Pretty good so far

Everything works just fine then you press play and only static comes out of your speakers. I should expect my song to play when I press play.

Ugh. We spent hundreds of dollars to have access to this app and it doesn’t work on so many devices. And no response from MTI. I guess I call. Again.

How do you make account? Please answer my question.

It would be perfect if we could listen to the accompaniment in the background while another app is open, or not have to worry about the app stopping when the screen goes black after too long. Otherwise, solid app. Show more

Utter disappointment.

It’s good it helped me learn my part but the only problem is my phone kept turning off in the middle of a song so it really frustrated me but otherwise it worked good for me. Show more

I love this app now that I have figured out how to use it. I had to turn my ringer on to be able to hear anything. A little confusing but very helpful when learning new songs. Show more

I love this app!! Don’t understand all the hate. It works great for me and my school for our rehearsals!!
