I’ve tried using all kinds of composing apps but this one is the best one so far. The only thing is it’s so laggy and I have to keep leaving the app to modify my pieces each time 😵😵 other than that’s it still pretty good and has literally everything than all the other apps […]

The app is good itself! but I’ve been having problems on mobile. 1st it’s not letting me double tap and copy a whole line which makes it hard to place it into a different instrument 2nd every time I click off of the app and get back on the app my music loads but won’t […]

For the most part it’s easy to use but it’s extremely buggy. The audio will stop working or the program will snap back to the beginning very randomly. Sometimes the audio keeps playing and the seek will disappear and you can’t stop it. You have to constantly reload the sheet to address these issues. It’s […]

The app is very good, in my opinion. Some things I think should be added are making custom instruments on your phone instead of needing a desktop device to do so. Another thing that goes with the custom instruments is making a custom from sounds in real life like your own personal instrument you have […]

Good use, but it was rather unecessary to put a 15 score creation limit on the free version. I liked recommending flat to my peers alot, but honestly i don’t think i will from now on; Not everyone is able to afford/buy the premium version, and it’s rather useless now that i’ve reached the score […]

Great app. I love using it to explore dynamics, rythems, and speed. and i love messaging around with vocals/instruments. I’m still trying to figure out how to use the app like the add lyrics thing. I’m still trying to figure out how to use them. I’m in the band, and personally, i hate band, but […]

Overall it’s…alright. My biggest issue, and I don’t know if it’s just me or if it’s the app, but is there not MIDI implementation? Without being able to use a MIDI controller, which other apps are able to do, this app feels clunky and not up to par. The full browser version on PC can […]

It’s a great app for composing music, and I like to use it to figure out how my marching music is supposed to sound, but there’s a problem with that. I tried to put the songs of my halftime show into the app, which has a mellophone, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, 2 clarinets, a flute, […]

This app is perfect. Even the free versions piano doesn’t sound bad, the only issue I have with it, is the fact that when you get off the paid version, you cannot access most of your scores until you get back on the version. At least allow us to look at the sheet music and […]

I love this app it’s fun and great for all ages to create and explore music, and have fun with friends creating odd tunes! I recommend using this app if you want to create or listen to one of a kind original pieces, and has printing options. It includes a wide variety of instruments, and […]

The guitar parts don’t play well on the bending. You can only have 15 music scores on the free version of the app. :(. It’s okay for what it is. Edit: would be cool if I could write guitar pieces similar in complexity to the scores and tabs available in the Hal Leonard Guitar Recorded […]

(5/5)January 19, 2025

Really, really wonderful app. Works for all my needs whether it be educational or just for fun, and I also use it on my computer. One note though, there really needs to be an “a tempo” button. I have a ritardando in my music, and the only way I can make the tempo return afterward […]

It’s a really great app to get into composing music. I enjoy how easy it is to do things. There are some things I wish were better, like better voices for percussion. But that’s pretty minor compared to what it does great at. The only small issue I have is when using the HQ trumpet, […]

I’m practicing for a solo & ensemble performance, except the music I chose had lyrics in it, which made it difficult to hear the clarinet in some sections. I got the sheet music for the song and decided to enter it in here so I could listen to it better. Everything sounds great (except the […]

I thought about getting the full version to avoid a subscription, but then I thought it’d be a better idea to buy $200 worth of paper and pens because at least I’d get to KEEP the files and not have them sent into an algorithm for another quick buck. all apps are going this direction […]

Quite useful for a piano teacher making song arrangements for students. I do have one complaint. I use the note-recoloring tool to hide the second-voice rests I attach lyrics to, since whiting them out usually works pretty well– but whenever I try to change the color of a dotted note(a dotted quarter note is worth […]

Great for writing sheet music, even syncs between devices. My only reason it’s not five stars is because NOTHING is offlined. Your songs and the instruments all have to load every time, including if you accidentally back out (or just switch apps for a while) and reopen a song. When I’m using this on a […]

Oh my god. this is legit the exact thing I’ve been looking for for a while now. I was looking for something where I could actually change the tempo, counting, and all notation because I was limited to just basics before and couldn’t actually make music well. but this has LITERALLY everything. and the best […]

Love flat! I’ve been using it for so long now, and it’s great! However, there are some things I wish were features in the app: – a tempo (following rit. and accel. so that the playback goes back to the original tempo) – cadenza options – ways to connect both piano lines (in particular, I […]

I love this app 👍, but it’s sooo laggy, there’s no non-premium pitched percussion, and I tried to set up an account and all it did was lock me out and I couldn’t access my scores. The app is good, but it really really needs fewer premium items. PLEASE 🙏 EDIT: So, what I wrote […]
