Holy digital sheet music, Batman!
I’m never going back. To paper, to other pdf software, to anything. This is the best money I have ever spent, hand to God. I was able to keep meticulous notes on three separate roles I was covering (plus my ensemble track) and it was all in one place. And the piano? You’d be surprised how often I use it on this app. And if that doesn’t help you, let me just say that I’m writing this review maybe 5 years after I initially bought it. I’m pretty sure I’ve used it every day since. And not just for sheet music.
So. Frikin. Worth it.
ForScore
Just to let you know, I had the opportunity to recommend FS this morning but when the person saw your price of $30 immediately you lost a customer. Just letting you know. I told them it was under $10 which it was once.
Bad quality in 2023, developer still unresponsive in 2024
This was a great app in its heyday, but now it has too many unfixed bugs that were added in v13 and v14. It’s becoming unworkable, even with Pro support. Getting sick of losing my work and setlists due to sync bugs. Getting sick of poor usability, especially for Apple Pencil annotations and for singing with audio accompaniment tracks. Many daily pain points. Excessive background battery drain in iOS 17.
Great, but could be better
It might sound silly, but is it possible to get a rainbow colour pencil to draw on the app like they have in one note?
I use this a lot with my students, and it’s a great way of highlighting their mistakes on their music.
Also, this app needs a button in which you can eradicate all annotations on all pages at once; instead of having to clear annotations page by page which gets very frustrating if your score is 10 to 20 pages long.
An icon to identify whether a score has annotations on it as well would be greatly beneficial.
Something wrong with the photo import
Can you please fix the problem. I cannot select photos to import into forscore anymore after I have upgraded to iPadOS 17.1.1. No technique support. Thank you.

Lacking one very important feature
It would be very handy if with one button, you could eliminate and erase all pencil marks in an entire score, not just on a single page.
Apart from that, however, it’s really good. It seems silly as well, but a rainbow colour pen would also be very handy for adding colour to the score. 🙂
Loved this app but now unreliable
I have loved this app over the years, use it every day for work but since the last couple of updates, it has become very unreliable….will be performing and will turn the page to a blank screen. It happens so often that I will no longer use it for performance. Wish I’d never updated it.
Good
At first this app seems expensive for $30. But after getting it, the uses for it become quite evident. This is definitely a major upgrade from using paper scores. It is very helpful for musicians and has most features you might want, while being laid out very clearly, making it very easy to navigate. Would recommend.
New icon looks terrible
I just want to point out after all these years using the app that the new app icon looks horrendous. It looks completely out of place from the rest of Apples design and looks like someone pieced two random symbols together. Don’t fix it if it’s not broken. The previous one at least looks elegant.
