Square Note FAQ
Is Square Note free?
Yes, Square Note is completely free and it doesn't have any in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Square Note legit?
✅ The Square Note app appears to be high-quality and legitimate. Users are very satisfied.
I discovered this app by Providence. I’m a cradle Catholic who has always been drawn to Gregorian chant. I just started attending Latin Mass and wanted a resource to help me learn how to chant to supplement my prayer life. This app has been extremely helpful in this capacity.
The Interface is clean, simple and intuitive. Using the app on an iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Great, but missing a whole season???
I love this app! It’s so useful for someone like me who needs the practice and sometimes is without my Liber and a cantor to direct the pitch. I love the simple chants additions as well!
However, the whole Epiphany season is missing? The 4-6 Sundays following Epiphany, and the three Sundays leading up to Ash Wednesday are absent. Not sure why, but it’s happened before that something is missing or out of order compared to my Liber Brevoir. That aside, the app is fantastic.
Best app for people that want to learn Gregorian chant
This app is the best if you want to learn Gregorian chant but you don’t have a car or stay inside so download this :D
Fabulous App
Thank you Fathers Matthew and Stephen Spencer for developing this fabulous app. I’m new to Gregorian chant and this is just what the doctor ordered. Love it!
Best Way to practice chanting!
This app has become an indispensable tool when trying to learn different propers for the mass. The one thing i would love to see included in the future are parts of the Divine office. Maybe start with compline! Thank you for making such a great app at a very affordable price.
Incredible app
This app is a real life saver for less musically inclined people. It lays everything out clear as day. You can start from anywhere in the piece, and control how fast it plays. Very well thought out.
Some notation
Watch out if you want this as a backup for your Liber. It doesn’t have punctums or scalici.
Good but we want more!
This app is great for what it has, and that’s a lot already!
It needs (in my opinion) more content such as chants from the breviary (Roman Breviary hymns, etc.). There are no apps out there now (that I know of) that have the Breviary Hymns in chant notation with such a smooth playback feature as that in this app.
Keep up the good work.
Mass XVIIII and Feast of All Saints
Thank you for the app.
I purchased it expecting to find all Mass 19 material and the Feast of All Saints Introit, Gradual, Alleluia, Offertory, Communion. But none are on there.
Could we please have them added?
Thank you,
B
So helpful!
This has been an amazing app, and has served me many times as both a cantor and chant nerd. I’m often asked to sing a new chant with little notice, and this gives me an extra tool in my prep kit. I highly recommend it.
