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 I have tried.
Reviews for Flat: Music Score & Tab Editor
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 let me place notes down and when it does let me place notes down it still says it's a rest but plays the note anyway, And doesn't show where the note is located on the lines.
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 doable but tedious and I would recommend using a program that performs better.
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 and putting onto flat as a custom instrument. Also, something that should be fixed is the new buzzes for the default tenor drums. The buzzes play for a long time, which makes the score unheard.
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 creation limit. The app overall is okay asides from some occasional lagging + crashing, but i will probably use it less from now on.
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 I love this. I like being able to do whatever I want and using the notes and rythems. Like this app gives you full creativity. You have to pay to use some things, but I can work my way around it.
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 use MIDI controllers...please add the same functionality to the mobile version. Most other things about the program I can deal with. MIDI input is a must-have.
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, bass drum, snare drum, and tenor drum, but when I got finished adding each part, I wanted to listen to the whole thing, but it got rud of some noyes and the time changes
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 download it. Other than that, great notation app in general.
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 has a free version and if you want more things to do there is an additional cost.
