I use IMSLP almost every day, and I am also a happy subscriber since years. I encourage the IMSLP team to keep doing this great work for many, many more years!

As a committed Juilliard piano student, I utilize the IMSLP app on my iPad almost religiously. The app is an indispensable part of my daily practice routine, housing an impressive library of over 1200 musical scores. The abundance and accessibility of these resources are what originally earned the IMSLP app a top spot in my arsenal of tools. However, despite the many commendable aspects of the app, I've recently encountered an issue so fundamental that it dramatically impacted my user experience, thus the two-star rating. The app now requires internet access upon opening for a seemingly mundane database migration - an operation that one might presume would merely entail synchronizing the local data with the IMSLP database. This could be an acceptable process under normal circumstances, and I would've even appreciated the attention to data integrity if it didn't impose such a drastic inconvenience. Ironically, the issue arose during one of the most critical moments for a musician - right before a performance. My iPad, devoid of cellular data service and usually in airplane mode to save battery life, was fully charged and ready to deliver the scores for my performance. But the performance was nearly derailed when the IMSLP app decided that it needed an internet connection to access the very files that were already stored on the device. As a musician, you come to rely on certain tools, and the IMSLP app has been one of them. But this new requirement has introduced a level of uncertainty and instability that is simply incompatible with the demands of live performance. The otherwise extraordinary IMSLP app, unfortunately, is marred by this significant oversight. It is my hope that the developers will soon address this issue and return the app to its formerly reliable self. I implore the IMSLP team to reevaluate this internet necessity for database migration. Providing offline access to files already downloaded onto the device should not be compromised by updates or backend processes. Musicians, especially those preparing for on-stage performances, should be able to trust in the reliability of their tools. Until then, this pivotal flaw justifies my two-star rating.

Always I wanted to have imslp app on my iPad. At last we got it. Only the thing, I can't go to the page that I want easily. I have to turn the pages one by one. Can't be an easy way?

I am a clarinetist and I love this app! It has all the things I like. For example, the English folk suite. Overall, I love this app. 5 out of 5

I downloaded the app and purchased a subscription after using IMSLP, but I wasn’t able to log in on both my iPhone and my iPad. I tried a few different things to reset my password, etc, but it wasn’t cooperating. I hope to figure it out, but I don’t know how to make it work.

Love imslp! The app is easy to use!

I wrote down bowings and fingerings and after the update, all of them were either scattered throughout the page or somehow the pages where I wrote things got mixed up. Had to completely redo and think of new fingerings and bowings….

My original review is left below so you can see that they took the feedback, fixed the issues, and made the app absolutely perfect for my needs! Way to go IMSLP!! Upgraded to 5 stars! The functionality of browsing and saving scores from the IMSLP database is excellent. The potential and problems lie in importing one’s own files. First, if you dismiss the prompt that tells you to use the “Browse” button when importing, you lose the ability to access any of your cloud files. There simply is no way to get to them from inside the app once the prompt is permanently dismissed. The workaround is the true disaster. When reading a PDF in the stock Files app, there is an option to “Open in IMSLP.” This will import a PDF just fine. However, THE SOURCE FILE IS THEN AUTOMATICALLY DELETED WITH NO WAY TO RECOVER IT. These catastrophic functionality issues need repairing before I can use or recommend this app.

Wow., loads of music most of which is totally readable. App is excellent. The notation, commenting functionality is a welcome bonus.

I’ve only used the app one other time and there have been a handful of updates since. The app just won’t load. I open it and get a half loaded page that won’t let me do anything. Not sure if this is just a me problem or if it’s common
