    Not a shadow of the desktop version
    This app badly needs updating, especially given the release of the new M-1 iPad Pro’s. I’ve been using the desktop version for 25 years - and it’s brilliant. This is not a shadow of the desktop. Smartscore: now that iPads have come of age, port your desktop version with full music editing functions to the iPad. Show more

    Needs Update
    Works well enough under iOS 10 (though still kind of clunky). Unfortunately, iOS 11 is coming in less than a month and according to reports it needs an update to function. I hope they decide to update the interface as well when they update to work with the new OS. Show more

    Needs 64 bit update, especially for use of in-app purchase
    Currently app works great in iOS. However it is only 32 bit. Apple is going to phase out 32 bit apps. I paid to upgrade this app and would like it to work in future versions of iOS. Please upgrade to 64 bit. Show more

    Not that satisfactory result
    I just tried to photo a music notes sheet in my iphone6 and it did not work. I hope developer can update the app to make it detects better.

    Great app for learning music
    This app is great if you're just learning to play.
  • SandyYD, 15.04.2016
    Great idea; needs work.
    I tried two methods for the app to 'read' the music. The first time I scanned with my iPhone 6s+. The second time I had a pdf of the song already on my phone. Both times, the playback was inaccurate. Way off. Many missing notes. Perhaps it does not work with 4-part harmony arrangements using shape notes. I'm deleting it since this is the only format I would find useful for learning church choral arrangements. Show more

    Amazing!
    This is fantastic! I don't know what those other reviews are talking about. I'm a singer who often has to learn music from sheets and very fast. I uploaded my PDF and in 30 seconds had a perfect rehearsal track! I can't believe this is free! Show more

    Smarts ore Notereader
    Smart score Notereader has major problem with Outlook Exchange accounts on the iPhone 6 series (iOS 9.x)... If you send a score via the paid app, Outlook Exchange becomes unstable, self-canceling with 1-8 second time delay. If, within that time, you can locate and delete the Notereader outbox message, Outlook Exchange returns to normal behavior Show more

    Great potential, poor execution
    I have yet to produce a "clean" result. It either says recognition failed, or I get many missing or extraneous notes. The last straw came when I went to app support and found the warning that ALL IPAD cameras were below the recommended 8 Megapixel resolution. If Musitek knows that, then why offer the app for iPad in the first place? I'm deleting this app. Show more

    works great!
    I put this app on my ipad air and I use it for practice all of the time. The trick is to make sure that the captured image is good quality. Show more

    Disappointed
    This app seems to be good but it does not work well just yet it will be ok if they improve it
  • BUCKSHOTS.NET, 29.11.2014
    Could be great but needs improvement
    This app has the potential to be big around the world with music students, but the developers seem to have given up on it. I was ready to purchase the upgrade and its either very well hidden, or it just can't be upgraded any longer. What a shame. Show more

    Most Useless App I've Ever Purchased
    I really really wanted this app to work. I tried multiple times. I uninstalled and reinstalled it. I restarted my phone. It never worked. It wouldn't let me upload any sheet music, I tried multiple, and would crash almost every time. Don't waste your time. Show more

    Useless even if you are willing to pay
    I paid $79 for their desktop version so that I can convert PDF into Midi or XML. The desktop version did a great job. My intention was to get the converted output into an iPad app so that I can see the sheet music and being played. This app provides to no such thing which is comptible with my $79 investment. Useless! Show more

    Useless for handwritten scores
    I have used version 1.1. With printed scores it works fine. No problem what so ever. With handwritten scores on empty pre printed score paper it's a no go. So nice App but it needs some improvement. Show more
