It allows you to compose music for just about any size ensemble, from piano, symphonies, band, lead sheets, chord charts, guitar tabs, and more. Starting Version 5, Symphony Pro now offers handwriting recognition as the only in-app purchase: Perfect with Apple Pencil, and works great with touch or capacitive stylus GETTING STARTED SP provides all of the key options to begin your work. Import a score via MusicXML, MXL, MIDI, or SP file from your computer, or from apps like Dropbox, Mail, iCloud Drive, or Safari. You can base your project on a template, or start a blank score and add additional parts later. EDITING To add notes, choose Pencil mode, and tap anywhere on a bar to begin editing right away. You can quickly specify note properties before or after placing notes. By switching to Select mode with one touch, you can also transpose, erase, cut, and paste multiple notes/tracks. With an on-screen instrument, a QWERTY keyboard, or Core MIDI compatible keyboard, you can quickly enter notes & chords in step entry mode. Record a part in real-time with on-screen instruments to transcribe into notation. Versions 4 & 5 take greater advantage of the iPad touchscreen. With shortcuts and contextual menus to edit note & bar properties, many of the commonly used editing commands are right at your fingertips. SP supports a wide range of notational elements for your composition. Including dynamics & articulations, time & key signature changes, clef changes, pedals, and repeat conventions. Edit chord symbols, lyrics, and annotations using the iPad’s standard keyboard. EXPORT & SHARE When you’re finished, print out your score with AirPrint, or export it as a PDF, MusicXML, AAC, MIDI, or Symphony file. Share files via email or directly to another computer or iPad via Dropbox/iCloud Drive.

The main thing that could be improved is when transferring music to MIDI, the software does not transfer Ties. I only use this software to write music I love it so much! -- LADHuskal, 2026-08-17 ### **--- "Don’t purchase. Glitchy, crashes a lot, not intuitive. Theoretically has good options/functions." This app has useful functions built in. However, finding those useful functions is very difficult and not intuitive — even following user manuals or help instructions is unclear, difficult, sometimes impossible. Additionally, functions that I use frequently (and that are what I specifically purchased it for) are glitchy and unreliable. The app itself also frequently crashes completely without warning and restarts. Recently it keeps telling me to update the app but despite being completely up to date on my OS there is no update available or possible — but it keeps telling me to update every time I open! I eventually found mention of this in support forums that apparently the developers create the new version in the App Store long before releasing it, so apparently all users are constantly getting notifications about needing to update the app when there is no actual update available. It’s wild to me that this is something the developers are well aware of and think is fine. I waited to write this review thinking that maybe with time things would become clearer and maybe this was user error on my part, but I no longer think that is likely. I wish I had purchased a different app. -- NicABD, 2026-06-15 ### **--- "App crashes" I just recently bought the app and when I am using it the app crashes and tells me to update but when I try it says it’s up to date. Plus the app is buggy and can’t accurately read handwritten notes even though I had to paid extra for that feature. If these issues get fixed I’ll use it because the ui is pretty decently designed and the non-handwritten parts are pretty good but I bought the app for the handwritten notation -- Cj Pad, 2026-05-31 ### *---- "Troubles" The SP app persistently nags upon startup that an update is available. No such update is found via the Apple update utility. The SP forum website is offline. No listed direct email to the developers. Have invested a lot of time and effort in creating scores, but am on the verge of mass-exporting all my scores in mxml format and shifting to another app. Very disappointing. -- Atemp_E, 2026-05-04 ### ****- "Great App but needs work" Been using this for years and it’s great for my purposes. Customer service is responsive but they are slow to fix updates, bugs and requests. They seem grateful for user input so everyone, let’s keep at them to keep improving so we can make this a 5 star app !! -- Tap tap click clack, 2026-04-30 ### **--- "Promising but not there yet for guitarists" Total bummer that handwritten mode is still not yet supported for tablature. It would be a game changer. Was really looking forward to this promising app but it is a massive oversight to not have this feature. -- armsfullofronan, 2026-02-15 ### *---- "I had high hopes when I bought this app!" Waste of $$ I ALWAYS pay for apps, because I feel it’s the right thing to do - support developers. In this case I supported a disastrous load of unusable code (?) junk. I hoped after owning it for a few years it would improve. WRONG!!! You can read all the other 1 star reviews for details so all I can add after trying to use this app for years is they are being kind when they compare this app to garbage! Or, maybe they are insulting garbage…. 😳 -- Wdav, 2026-01-08 ### **--- "Extremely unintitive" I had great difficulty getting to needed screens and finding help to run the software. There are much better options out there. -- davideh, 2026-01-08 ### *---- "I used to love it but…" The handwriting recognition gobble up better in this version, but now on my iPad Pro, with the most recent iOS, setting, the screen does not fully render the score when zooming in and out, requiring you to save and close and then reopen the file to keep working. Please fix this bug. -- arehartc, 2025-11-23 ### *---- "Never again" No tutorial, tools are very inefficient and make no sense, and the “help menu” doesn’t give anything either. Waste of $15 -- love it or stop, 2025-11-18 [View all Symphony Pro reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Symphony Pro In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Handwriting Recognition Tool | $9.99 | ## Symphony Pro Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Spain | Music | #44 | | Top Paid | China | Music | #46 | | Top Paid | South Korea | Music | #114 | | Top Paid | Vietnam | Music | #118 | | Top Paid | Kazakhstan | Music | #152 | | Top Paid | United States | Music | #214 | | Top Paid | Thailand | Music | #226 | | Top Paid | Hong Kong SAR China | Music | #227 | | Top Paid | Czechia | Music | #238 | | Top Paid | Taiwan | Music | #246 | ## Symphony Pro Discovered Keywords -
