Reviews for PlayScore2 needs hi-end camera

I am beginning piano student and after using Playscore2 for a few months now the app has been working very well for me. Since I also use Musescore, Playscore2 has been a tremendous tool for importing into Musescore via xml. Not always perfect but works well for me overall. Also note that if you email […]

Should at least have a trial version of import and export so you can see how well it works before purchasing. I have zero problems buying something but lack of a trial just seems cheap and risky. At least just one import, one export. Perhaps they dont know how to set that up. I think […]

I used this app to help prep for vocal auditions by having it play my accompaniment. It was very easy to scan the sheet music, and the ability to adjust the tempo and even which parts/ instruments play was extremely useful. My only complaint is that I would have liked to try it out and […]

Kinda sucks, I take a picture of the music perfectly and it still plays the rhythms wrong… Also have you tried maybe adding more instrument sounds?? Like drums? That would make this app better, but still it won’t read the music right. And don’t try to blame my phone because I checked the picture and […]

Update: I subscribed for the ability to import multiple pages from pdf. Really nice feature and the score files are smaller which my crowded phone is happy with! What I wrote earlier: I’m using the free version and have had great success snapping photos of sheet music and playing it back. I’m using it to […]

Worked right away and so well I was so surprised… The only problem is I needed an app that would help me remember how to read it. I read sheet music but I’m way out of practice and it would take me hours to decipher each line and I was hoping that maybe this app […]

This app is amazing! It really comes in handy when I am struggling with difficult pieces and I cannot find a recording online. The process is really quick, and on top of that, the app is free and there are no ads. It’s not perfect, because sometimes it misses dynamic markings or accidentals, but it […]

Need to be able to try before I buy. Can’t give a good review when I can’t use the app. I have a pretty simple set of piano sheet music I wanted to try this app out on, but they restrict you from even processing your photo if your music is over 4 staves. I’m […]

The most simple thing you can’t do simply import a pdf of sheet music ( Which is the most logical way to use it if you have existing sheetmusic) , When you try, It says you need a 12 months subscription to do it. For anyone out there that wants to do that Smartscore 64 […]

I never review apps but this one is absolutely incredible. I have always had a habit of playing by ear and I’m horrible at sight reading. Being able to hear any piece of sheet music is a game changer for me and has made practicing infinitely more enjoyable (as now I know I’m not practicing […]

Wow this app is gr8! Assuming you have an okay camera this app works perfectly fine. Some sheet music I’ve been unable to find to listen to online, so this app works gr8 just to get a feel for the music. I have a clip on book light that I attached to my phone, since […]

Overall it’s a really solid app and it’s a lot more user friendly than other softwares that scan sheet music. I love that on the android version you can adjust settings to make the scan play better, however I do wish there was an option to fix individual bars when they don’t play correctly, as […]

I’m extremely impressed with the app. Of course even after taking a bright evenly lit photo, it still makes mistakes. Some notable ones, playing four quarter notes in one bar as a triplet and skipping the fourth note. Missing notes in runs, adding unnecessary swing, and some other general issues. However for being a free […]

It’s a great tool, but it’s glitches. The music doesn’t get picked up perfectly so I have to transfer to an engraving software and export the xml into playscore to fix the problem. Labor intensive but once it works, it’s a great tool for learning. What I like, it being able to silence, lower the […]

This app is terrible. I take very good photos, but the app doesn’t play it correctly, constantly misses notes entirely. it just plain doesn’t work. If I have to try 3 or 4 or more times to get the picture “just right” enough for the app to work, then yes it’s the app’s fault! I […]

I could not believe this works. I saw someone reviewing on YouTube and thought no way an app could do what they were saying. I began scanning all types of music, none were ideal at all. A second after taking the picture, you could play the music, and I was stunned with the accuracy. This […]

It’s frustrating but the free version is better than nothing, & it is truly free. What is frustrating is that the pic has to be perfect. I mean, the score your taking a pic of has to be perfect – no shadows, no no wrinkles, no waves – as in completely flat, which is about […]

It works really well but is also heavily dependent on image quality. For the picture each staff must be perfectly within the grid shown on the camera. To be able to get better processing quality take a picture staff by staff for it to read perfectly. I recommend an update that would be able to […]

I had a great experience with this app. I did not run into issues with my camera because I would take a photo and convert it into a pdf with the “Tiny Scanner” app. The scanner app makes it so that, if your picture is at a skewed angle, you can essentially make the image […]

This has been a life saver! it’s been 20 years since I’ve sight sung and I can’t keep up with my choir! This has helped me practice on my own time. It’s not perfect, but you can control the speed, you can repeat one measure over and over and over, you can silence other staffs […]
