Reflow - Score Editor

I feel very cheated buing this app. It is poorly made and not working fully. Lots of bugs and poor interface! Not worth the price!

It has been a few years since I have used Reflow. I used to use it a lot and am now getting reacquainted with it. There seems to have been quite a few changes. Using it on a grand staff is a bit more difficult, I’m sure I will get used to it, but there are changes that are not intuitive for someone writing a score for piano. Also, the button for sharps is not working. I hope you put out an update that fixes this soon.

Was working great but files have been lost. I know they exist because when I try to creat a new one the program renames it with a number at the end. Very frustrating

Love the app, but it’s frustrating that there’s no notation for effect cymbals, flams and double pedal

This is your long-time Reflow user again, back all the way from Version 2. Thanks a lot for fixing my problems with version 15.2, especially the ones dealing with volume dynamics! However, we still have these problems to deal with: – Text on a staff shows if you’re in page view, but it DOES NOT APPEAR if you’re in horizontal view, which I use all the time! – If you use an instrument with a grand staff and add some notes to the staff, or some dynamics, you get a RIDICULOUSLY large gap between the top staff and the bottom staff (even if none of the notes are on ledger lines) and there’ll also be more space than necessary between the bottom staff and the bottom of the page (in horizontal mode). – I increased the tempo of a section of measures, which started with two tied whole notes, to be DOUBLE of that of the previous section, and the tied note played for the length of two tied whole notes at the tempo BEFORE the actual tempo change instead of at the correct tempo! – If you’re in page mode and have a lot of stuff on the page at once (e.g. a full band’s worth of staves), the page content does NOT resize to fit the page (or vice versa), meaning that you can easily have parts that are clipped off or even removed entirely by the bottom of the page! – Occasionally, when I’m in Edit mode and go to the instruments panel and click on an instrument’s info button, the app will crash. Note that I’m currently using iOS 13.3 on an iPhone 6S+. – Having more variety of bends would be nice on the mobile version. – Could you note (if you haven’t already) how long a double-dotted note should be in relation to a normal note in the user manual? I think it should be the note length plus 3/4 of that note’s length, but I’m not certain. NOTE: Double-dotted quarter notes still render as a quarter note plus an eighth note PLUS a dotted sixteenth! – If you change a stringed instrument’s tuning (e.g. tune all the strings down by a half-step), it doesn’t automatically transpose the tablature notes to their original correct pitches. In case someone wants to keep the same fretting (with this new, different pitch), this should be an option. – We still can’t change the tempo marking midway through a measure; only at the start of it. The good news is that this time around, the number of problems are far fewer than in 15.2. However, they should still be checked out when you guys get the chance, particularly the first five I listed here. Thanks for your consideration and support!

I sincerely apologize for the bad review based on the beaming capabilities of Reflow. I have since figured out what I was doing incorrectly with the software. I do wish that the software was a bit more intuitive but it DOES do beaming by using the [+] or [-] keys. I used to be a software developer and I believe that software stands on the ease of use through its interface. I am still learning this app and had trouble even after reading the manual. Anyway, Reflow does create nice looking scores and with a little more manipulation and time I’m sure this software will train me how to use it more effectively. To the software developers... please accept my humble apologies for the previous bad review. You efforts are appreciated. My scores look juvenile at best without the ability to connect notes with beams. Every picture on your app page shows beautiful scores with nice tidy beams. I paid for this to do basic scores on drums for students right from my iPad. I will have to just find another solution. This looks horrible and I feel like you’ve misrepresented the product. Reflow has no business being in the Apple Store for iOS. Shame on you! Seriously. This is a pitiful effort bringing a half thought out effort to the market place. Please disclose your application’s limitations on your Apple Store page for iPad users. This app is of limited value to iOS users.

How do I contact developer? Website not working! Is this app only for guitar?? I was looking for drum set notation. I’ll change rating once I get answers.

Load a file (Dropbox supported) hit settings, turn off the score and scroll around for a couple seconds and it crashes every time. Hope to see this fixed as I love the way it looks.

Reading the manual online it shows you should be able to copy and paste. Well, no dialog comes up giving you the option to copy or paste after selecting things. This isn’t the only feature I’ve found that doesn’t work

It erases your work after you close it. It simply doesn’t save. There is no clear way to change tempo or set a loop. You will spend hours only to have it wasted. Avoid. The developers ruined this app.
