Appmuse

this is an awful app. You buy the music and you can only print once and have to pay for the privilege to print again!

I just paid $10 for two small pieces of music online. I printed out the music immediately after the purchase and expected the ability to download the PDF file of the music I just forked money over for. But no, they insist you download the app in order to view the music. When I then downloaded the app, the music I paid money for was in the list but I was barred from printing it again unless I paid another $10. I can view the music in the app, but it’s kind of ackward placing my laptop computer on a music stand to play from. As far as I know, when I buy a piece of music, it doesn’t limit me to 1 time of opening up the music before it being locked and having to pay for it again. Useless app. Show more

This app is a very useful tool for rehearsal purposes. However, as an actor who 1) does not own a printer and 2) needs hard copies of sheet music to take to auditions, this is a real dud of an app. I used to be able to download my music directly to my computer after I purchased it and load it onto my flashdrive to take to print at FedEx. Now, with this app, I am unable to do that. It says that my music is “downloaded to my computer,” but it only lives within the app. I cannot get it onto my desktop or into my documents in order to save it onto my flashdrive. Then, when I went online to their help center, the instructions told me to follow prompts that were not there. This has created a real inconvenience for me. Show more

I downloaded the app with full expectation that I would be able to transpose the song that I had purchased into whatever other key I choose. Upon downloading the song it was clear that it was avaialble in only one other key, which was not what I was looking for. In the end I had to take the time to ranspose the song myself, which was what I was trying to avoid with this app. Show more

This app is super helpful for learning the tricky parts of the vocals. The follow along notes and vocal guide are amazing. I know some complain that to transpose you have to buy it again but the website was very clear about how that works so I was not surprised or annoyed. If I went to a music store and bought sheet music I would be charged similarly. Show more

The main purpose of this app appears to be to deal with DRM-locked music you buy from them … and it’s about as inconvenient as it gets. I purchased a song from Musicnotes and loaded it from my account into this app. I printed a copy to play from. Then I transposed to a different key and tried to print that. I got a message that all my prints were used up and I had to buy more. No thanks, I’ll get my music elsewhere. Show more

I still think they should take the ultimate guitar approach and just pay a monthly fee for unlimited songs but this is still pretty good. The play back feature is tops. Just still too pricey per sheet music. Love this application though. Show more
