forScore

Been using forescore for several years. 1,300 + titles + on my iPad, about 8 different set lists for all the groups I play in. All of the sudden about two weeks ago, I fired up Forescore and got nothing but a white screen with 3 dots at top center. I tried everything but nothing worked. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling (my scanned music is also stored off the iPad). It did allow me to go through the normal swipe page intro. After that I was able to install a couple of sheets of music, but then it reverted back to the white screen. So sad.

Recently has kept crashing randomly!

I purchased this on my iPad ($20 +$10 pro upgrade), and it was clunky (couldn’t figure out how to navigate, app keeps changing to edit mode when I just want to use it). Even worse, now that I’m trying to open it on my phone for a gig it doesn’t work at all, the screen is just blank white.

The app stopped working on my iPad while on rehearsal last night. I’ve tried everything even going back to a previous backup version of the iPad. Nothing. There’s no phone number or email to contact ForScore. In their website it says you can submit issues directly on the app… but the app COMPLETELY stopped working. Nothing opens up, just a white screen, nothing works. The iPad seems to be in perfectly good working condition besides this app. I use the app daily and now I’m stuck right during Christmas gigs 😩

Having to pay extra for bonus features on top of the initial payment is pretty shameless. Also, the scanning feature is not good so you have to use something else.

I absolutely love this app and use it almost daily. I love all the available features and allowing users to change the app icons, but in some recent-ish update, some of the best icons were taken away and replaced with the WORST DESIGNS EVER. I can’t begin to explain how cheesy they look. The best thing you had before was the Eleven-Gray icon. Make more of those. No one wants these balloon fonts.

Initial impressions after a week's use is that this app is far buggier it should be for the price point. In particular, iCloud sync keeps getting flipped to off on my iPad app for no apparent reason, leaving me to wonder where my updates are until I go and check. But the most annoying is when I'm adding annotations on my Mac, and click done (the checkmark), half the time ALL annotations will disappear and don't come back until I relaunch the app. I'm having to do this near constantly.

14.3.3 is broken on iOS 18.2 it needs fixed the only way to use the iPad after you load forScore is to reboot the iPad. Which I could down grade forScore to early version. Please fix this !

Excelente y muy prático

forScore unfortunately has not kept up with technology and is now a dinosaur. How? Pen support is abysmal. It will stop working in annotation mode and the only remedy is to exit and re-enter. Try that a few hundred times. Further, the program cannot handle PDF’s above 200dpi. 150 is really the limit but 150 gets plenty grainy. In a nutshell, forScore is a mediocre score reader that has severe limitations. Temper expectations. Oh, and don’t expect much tech support even for the pro version. I rarely get an answer.
