Good app
I needed something like this for several varied situations and so happy to have it. Thanks.
This is hands down the dumbest app I’ve ever purchased. I may never buy another app knowing this kind of garbage is for sale in the App Store.
Like the hasty first draft of a Where's Waldo paintball collage. No instruction page or key to simply getting the desired notation symbol to appear where you're touching your finger on the staff. Arbitrary and convoluted. Don't even think about it. Which was the programmers' work ethic.
Good app. Useful on the go
I’ve used Symphony in the past. Amazing they unlocked all the features even if you originally downloaded the free version. Looking forward to a reintroduction of this superior music software.
I use this for mostly sketching on the run. Awesome app👍
Great App for making your own backing tracks for vocal performances!
As much as I love music, I don’t know jack about the mechanics of creating it. The fact that little dots on paper can translate into audio pleasure is like sorcery to me. I love using this program to delve into the magic of music.
I have really enjoyed using Symphony for writing simple arrangements for my kindergarten and preschool class performances. I like that I can print music and also make mp3s for the kiddos to practice to. Yay!
