I absolutely love this app. I use it for violin and so my child hears what it’s supposed to sound like. I just wish there was a Mac version for the home computer.

this app is a dream come true. For a totally blind person like me, I have always wanted instant access to music notation, especially with piano and choral scores. Usually, it has taken me a very long time to learn music, because I had to get someone to play the piano part, record it, and learn it the best way I could. Now with this app, I can isolate the voices, isolate the left and right hand, and learn music note perfect. I hope that you will be able to keep the high standard of accessibility with this app despite ongoing design changes and upgrades which must surely come. Thank you very much for creating this app. I hope it stays around for a long, long time.

You should be able to write stuff in and have the scanner recognize it. My piano book has songs where you write in some things. The scanner doesn’t recognize that so it’s kind of annoying

This app is really awesome to listen to something but it dose not do slurs

App was good for the first year and a half, but then it doesn't scan anything correctly and skips notes like crazy —- for now on this date, Very bad application at this time I do not recommend it. Until they fix it.

This app is absolutely terrible. It can’t correctly play the music and if it says the picture is blurry and I retake it with no problems, it still can’t read it

I picked up my trombone after a 40 year break. I joined our community band and enjoyed playing for a year and a half now. I realized it was taking me much longer than I needed to get my part down so I started searching for an app that would help me. This app is absolutely amazing. Not only is it accelerating my ability to get my part down but it’s also like having an on-call partner to practice with. I putting my headphones on and playing my part and having the app in my ear really has improved my playing

It mostly successfully scans the music and you can always rescan if needed. I do have an issue with the subscription ad popping up sometimes when I open the app and there’s no way to close the ad. A bit annoyed. But when that doesn’t happen the app is really good!

I’ve seen some reviews where people say this app doesn’t work, or it doesn’t read key signatures, or it doesn’t do this or that. That’s utter nonsense. It’s not the apps fault, it’s your fault. I’ve relied on Music Scanner since 2015, which is about the time this app came out and when I bought my first iPad Pro. I’ve devised a sure fire way to get a near perfect scan from almost any image using tricks I learned in the 90s to make low resolution images look like high definition images in Photoshop. Here are three tips. TIP 1 - Using your iPhone or iPad camera 1. If possible photograph an original source, from a published book. 2. Use photography lighting. These days, a couple of LED photography lights with diffusers, that put out 5000k white light or better is recommended and they’re cheap. If possible don’t use warm lighting. If you don’t want to spend money, order a 5000-7000k LED bulb and a mechanics style clamp socket, then put a thin sheet of paper or wax paper, parchment paper, or some thin cotton cloth over the light for diffusion. Using two lights is better as it gives you better spread nd evenness. 3. Lay the page that your going to scan as flat as possible. Make sure there are no shadows on the page nor any glare. 4. Use either an iPhone camera or an iPad camera. You will get near perfect results. Sometimes an iPad camera works better. 5. If you’re not getting perfect results, take a picture of the notation with the camera app. Color correct the image in photos by adjusting the exposure, contrast and black point. 6. Scan the image in Music Scanner. TIP 2 - Scanning a PDF from a file or an image from your photo library. 1. Convert the image to black and white. Color images have too much noise. Make sure the image has good exposure, contrast and black point settings. You can adjust these settings in Photos, Affinity Photo, Pixelmator or any number of apps. These settings will help make the white “paper” background look perfectly white, and the notation perfectly black. This helps the scanning process tremendously. 2. If you want to convert a photo png into a PDF, open the photo in the files app, and select print. Instead of printing, pinch outwards on the first thumbnail in the print dialog box. Then save it to the Files app. The image, which might have been a png, will now be saved as a PDF. Now you can really improve the image. 3. Check the resolution and page size of the PDF document with any app that can open it. Pixelmator,
