NotateMe Now

The upgraded PhotoScore has sooo much potential, but it can’t read PDF’s. Why not? Adding the step of screenshotting each page Ned loading the photos is getting so frustrating I’m just using the MacBook instead

There was no indication given that the App costs money and actually stated it was free so was very surprised and annoyed to see a PayPal charge of $20.97. Apple you need to pick up your game. This is very misleading and should disclose a pay requirement prior to committing to installation.

This app is horrible. It’s absolutely useless.

This is the most amazing app! I love it and I think my music student will too! Thank you for this amazing app!!

Okay, so this is a relatively new app and of course there is always room for improvement but it is amazing in what it can already do. After trying out the lite version I immediately bought the full version as well as the photoscore IAP. A bit pricy for an iOS app, sure, but look at the desktop alternatives. All expensive and none of them work well, and the amount of trouble one has to go through to get the job done. You have to first scan the score in in the right format and resolution(a bit difficult if the music is part of a book), have it converted(with questionable accuracy), then transferred to your iOS device. With this app you can have the sheet converted to MIDI in less than a minute! I have to explore the manual entry method a bit more but what I have tried I am loving it. Been trying out a few of the notation apps and all are painful to use. The iOS platform is just perfect for Photoscore. Now when my kids have a new piano piece to learn I can immediately have the music sheet captured and play back to them within a couple of minutes. My daughter needed to pick a song out of a few to learn for her Esttedford performance and I could let her listen to each piece before she decided which one to learn. Great for practising and getting a feel for the song before starting. I can also scan any of my hundreds of music sheet in, have them converted to MIDI and use them in any of my composing apps and DAW. Extensive exporting options are available, and GM MIDI compatible too. :) Like all desktop alternative accuracy of the MIDI conversion is not 100% but still very good, so one does have to check if accuracy is important. Tricky notations like grace note...etc tend to trip it a bit but overall very good. Sometimes during playback it may get a bit lost with lots of repeats and score/music may get out of sync. Hence improvement is needed in these areas however I am still loving it. Before notate me I used to dread having to enter each note one at a time and now it is actually fun! A few features I would like to see added: -ability to import photos and PDF. -ability to customise score layout -coreMIDI -AudioBus -Inter-App-Audio -MIDIBus -Comprehensive file manger with folders and cut/copy/paste support -ability to use user SF2 Soundfonts -Practising tools: would be great if the app can become more interactive when using an external MIDI keyboard like waiting for the player to play the correct before playing continue. What had also helped me

This app keeps crashing!!!!!!

Great idea, and it learns quickly but $27 is too much to pay just to see how capable it is. A circle stamp could be a better solution so the line and colouring it in dictates the note type as drawing circles is quite hard on an iPhone. I'm sure this might be easier with a stylus and an iPad but just by hand leaves you with a cramp in your neck from constantly leaning over to get the note head accurate.

App feels unfinished - user interface is all over the place, doesn’t make sense. No way to add key signature. Very fiddly on iPhone. Almost every useful feature that would let you evaluate the app properly is locked so you’re constantly getting prompts to upgrade. Handwriting recognition is not that great either.

The app is good. It’s not the best but it’s OK. It wasn’t set up very well, but it works good like when I take a picture of sheet music and then I click the play button. It plays the picture that I took very well. The app looks like it was made for a computer screen on my phone. It is very big and some of the words are cut off and you can’t see them very well, the app does sometimes crash, but besides for that, it’s very good. developers if you could please improve these things that I mentioned app sometimes crashes and font is cut off by screen.
