ForScore Positive Reviews

Just what I was looking for!After reading some of the more recent reviews reporting that the annotation function was buggy, it was with some trepidation that I purchased the app. I needed a way to erase fingerings on classical guitar scores and put in my own choices. I noticed that there had been a recent update to the app to fix some bugs, so I decided to download it to my new iPad with Apple Pencil. In less than 15 minutes, I imported my pdf score, made a copy to be annotated (keeping an original clean copy), renamed my new file and then started to annotate my score. Because of review reports of annotations disappearing, I made just a few changes and then saved the file. I am new to using Apple Pencil, so a few erase streaks and extra lines showed up when I didn’t expect them. I found that if I left annotation mode before trying to scroll, things went a lot better.😉 Now the big challenge… could I get a hard copy printed? Yes! (I like to read from paper, not a screen)I saved and sent the file to my email and opened it on my computer with attached printer and produced my hard copy. (Yes I know about WiFi and Bluetooth tech, but I wanted to just get this done with the existing setup.) Overall, I quickly figured out how to make this app function to do the job I needed to do without frustration or steep learning curve. Well done, Developer!.0123LizardVersion: 14.1.3

How amazing is page turning nowadays, wow!Each time I use my lips to point left and right and the page just turns to reveal the next section of music, I get a wonderful satisfying feeling. One, that I was smart enough to part with my measly $10 per year to activate this feature. Two, that I live in a technologically advanced period of time where cameras on your sheet music display device have become smart enough to know when I need to see the next part of the score. Finally last but not the least, I get that satisfying feeling of not having to break my rhythm with a need to move my hands and fumble with my fingers in order to grab a uncooperative piece of music score. As a amateur pianist, I don’t often perform outdoors or in front of a fan that would blow away a normal piece of music. As a new forScore user, I have not converted even the smallest amount of my gigantic collection of paper scores to digital form. But from those that have been converted, I am sold on the idea that this is definitely the way to go! The only insignificant peculiarity that I’ve encountered, is that unlike the developer claims, it really is not possible to import into forScore any apple Pages documents containing scanned images of the score. The result is nearly unreadable and definitely unusable. First convert to PDF. Then, it works like a champ..Dave90807Version: 13.0.5

A must have for professional musiciansGone are the days of having big 3 ringed binders with several copies of manuscripts weighing down a stand. Or sheet music falling off a stand while you're trying to play it. The iPad and this app have revolutionized the way we practice and rehearse today. This app is simply amazing. I use it everyday. They really have thought of everything with this app and I have been thoroughly impressed by it. I have been using it for a good 2 years now. Features such as making set lists, annotations, categorizing by artist/composers/songs etc, share options directly from the app, creating backups of your organizations and being able to open attachments from the iOS mail app directly in this app make it simply amazing. I can't say enough about it because I would just continue to ramble. To the developers of this app... We the musicians greatly appreciate you for creating something that makes our lives and careers easier. We thank you for creating something that's seamless, easy to use, has every feature we could want all while running smooth with little to no crashes. Thank you also for constantly keeping this app updated and adding additional features. I’m always learning something new with this software I didn’t already know it could do..KontryBoy706Version: 10.3.2

Fantastic App for musiciansThis app is the greatest bargain there is for musicians - continually upgraded with no charge. I love the pro version. The extra stamps and annotation features are very useful. I’m a user for 5 years since the 1st 12.9” iPad Pro was released in 2016. With the AirTurn Duo page turner, it’s a must have combination for professional keyboardists and other musicians. The facial gesture page turn feature is really cool for organists who cannot place a page turn pedal on the floor because of the organ pedals. Stores and organizes ALL your music. Only limited by the storage of your tablet. This setup has never failed me in 5 years and I use it every day. Keep everything charged and backed up and it is practically fool proof. I had far more problems with printed music trying to find things, bringing the wrong folder, turning two pages, pages stuck together, book won’t stay open, wind blowing pages, stand lamp burning out, etc. I brought paper music as a back up for the 1st year but realized it wasn’t necessary. Also, you don’t need a lamp any longer although I use one just to illuminate the keys in the orchestra pit. Life changing. This is not a music notation app. It is a PDF reader for music and any other PDF file..HnkahlVersion: 12.1.3

Great App, but Syncing songs isn’t working.ForScore is a great app for any level and any player, especially for people (like myself) who have many songs. However I have two concerns. 1. The sync isn’t working. I use forScore on multiple devices, but the songs do not sync with other devices linked with the same account. This is troublesome because when trying to use my phone or more portable device than my IPad, it doesn’t work, and I have to take the pictures one by one to get all of the pieces on each device. 2. The second problem is the flipping page feature. I know the app calibrates to one side or the other by tapping on the right or left side, but I think there needs to be a heightened sensitivity setting. The reason for this is because I play at recitals and in public areas often. I have played at some mini concerts until COVID 19 came around. With the page not flipping when I tap it, IT MESSES UP MY PERFORMANCE. I either have to modify the piece to make it like I didn’t make a mistake, or I have to pause awkwardly mid performance. This has happened to me many times, and I cannot stand mistakes in public performances. It makes me look like an inexperienced rookie playing. I can understand if I tap once and it doesn’t turn and it turns the second time But when I am button mashing the screen and it still doesn’t respond, that is a problem. Fix these issues, and I’ll give your stars back..WillliekyleVersion: 11.2.2

Errors in copying scores to another deviceI have been with ForScore from the very beginning and in fact I even pay for the pro version that I feel makes very little difference. I would say it has been a 5 star app up til recently. I am a professional concert pianists that works with two iPads that I pass my Scores back and forth after adding fingerings and notes to either students or myself. Airdrop has always been the fastest way and had been flawless until the last month or so. Now, every time and every score I send that has kept the annotations from previous versions now automatically takes random measures from a previous section and randomly inserts into another page. Not whole pages but lines here and there. So I’ll be playing along and all of a sudden a Line from a different piece in the same score will appear and Then the next line will be the correct piece again. Very frustrating. Having the pro app is suppose to get support. It took 10 days for a response and then when i responded to the non answer I got no more responses. I think it’s time to look elsewhere or just play from my purchased henle app which has its own annotating frustrations. I love all the new features but I rarely use them. How about good old reliability? Frustrated musician. Sure Never been frustrated By a score before!!!!!.4DjiboutiVersion: 13.0.4

The best Sheet Music Viewer hands downI am a professional Trumpet player, and gone are the days of carrying 10 fake books, 5 band folders and stand lights. With a little time with a scanner, you can have your entire sheet music collection a couple clicks away. I play many different styles of music from Brass Band To Dixieland. I only need to take the official band folder home when I need to scan new music. If something comes up, I don’t have to feel guilty about the band not having the folder in my absence. I have my music sorted by “genres”, which is just one way to sort the very well thought out database. Everyone is just amazed at the way this works. ½ page turns allows you to see the next page while still seeing the bottom half staves of the current page. This avoids having to memorize the first few notes on the next page. Setting up D.C.’s and D.S.’s is easy with links that can be set up. For tricky repeats, you can duplicate pages and arrange them so that it becomes a hands free page turn with products like AirTurn etc. I’ll never go back to the old way again. Easily the best $15 I’ve ever spent on any app. Gigging musicians and piano bar players, this is a must have!!.Eric24824Version: 10.3

Simply the BestI use this app every single day, and if you are a pro (or anyone ) concerned about migrating into using a device for all of your music have no fear.. they have thought of literally everything. You can reorganize pages, make bookmarks, work faster and more efficiently, etc. I think this is the single best piece of software I’ve ever used, I mean every single little problem I have thought to myself hm I wish they would fix that either promptly got fixed or was always available as an option that I didn’t realize For instance, it used to annoy me that when you used the Apple Pencil for annotation (which I really don’t think is very necessary for musicians but I had it anyways, whatever whatever) it would pull up the same menu that you use for writing with your finger, that you would have to manually close thereafter which would add an extra step every time I use it.. Well, as it turns this is an option you can disable in settings! Hopefully that made sense.. But yes if you don’t buy any other app you have got to buy this one. Rock solid reliability (way way better than using android/windows/macOS/other OS that are subject to crashes and all that).Bass player in FLVersion: 11.1.5

Comments and Requests on Version 11Thank you for an amazing app that makes my life as a college musician so much easier. Just a comment on the latest update, the immediate first thing that I noticed was that when I was using my apple pencil, the stroke was much thicker than It used to be. I think that the variable width curves are great however I like to add very finepoint notes in my music and the stroke is a little too thick compared to what it used to be. It would be nice to either make the thin much thinner, or make an option to turn the variable width option off so that we can get that finetip stroke if possible. Also, is it possible to have an actual document scanner in the app that can crop the sheet music and upload straight to forScore? I keep having to use the Notes app, scan it, and then transfer to forScore. One last request, when sorting the music, can we have a way to assign sheet music to a specific Genre, Composer, etc. instead of having to type them in exactly the same for each piece? Kind of like the way we add music to playlists on music apps. Thank you so much for your great work!.Maestro.PhillipVersion: 11.0

Good but problematicForScore is certainly the best music reader I’ve used in terms of functionality. It is easy to upload music to the app and view your music as well as make your own set lists. The other features is where the problems are. The metronome function is cool and the annotations with Apple Pencil are fantastic, but other useful features and actually navigating the application leave much to be desired. Accessing an app’s settings menu shouldn’t require a google search to figure it out. Likewise, instructions for using other features such as links have ambiguous instructions that force you to use trial and error to figure out. Trying to access your library isn’t as easy as tapping a link that says “Library”; same goes for your set lists. There’s also the option to back up your library and set lists, but it’s not easy as allowing it to access your iCloud Drive account like you might when you first launch Pages or something. Speaking of backing everything up, the feature is mislabeled as “Services”. The backup section doesn’t properly backup your files and allow to easily restore. So, like the title says, the app is good, but also has a list of problems and usability/interface issues that can ward off new users..Cmal92Version: 10.5.2

Best music reading app for iPadI’ve been using forScore now for at least 3 years, and it has only gotten better. I really give it a workout when doing musicals, and forScore makes it easy to deal with cuts, changing the order of numbers in the show. The only thing that was missing was stamps of repeat signs in the Annotations menu, but a friend made me a couple in .png format, they were easy to import, and they work great. I use an iRig BlueBoard for turning pages, and the 2 extra buttons come in very handy, one for making half-page turns, the other I use for bringing up the tuner. (It would be nice if hitting that button again put the tuner away. It’d also be nice if the user could make the tuner and metronome smaller, they cover a lot of the page. Sometimes you just want to leave them in view, hint, hint...) On occasion, several panicked emails have gotten speedy responses from Support, and that is very much appreciated, too. Santa brought an Apple Pencil, and I’m looking forward to learning more about using it. What I’ve done with it so far has been almost seamless to use. Thanks, forScore!!!.WaltTromboneMeVersion: 10.5.3

Great music storage!Very happy with forScore app. At the recommendation of friends from my ukulele group, I purchased an inexpensive refurbished iPad Air and downloaded the app right away. I was able to store all the songs from our extensive collection by quickly copying to forScore from Google Drive. What used to take two large binders to store, now fits on my iPad, and it’s much quicker and easier to find the next song. Friday I was able to put about 30 of those songs into a set list which made it really quick to jump to the next song. It worked perfectly for this outdoor jam session without WiFi connection or worrying about the wind blowing my pages. I was able to use the darkroom feature to take a picture of a paper copy of a song that wasn’t in the Google Drive, and use annotate to change the chord timing to my own preference. Our group is constantly adding new songs, and this will make it easier to add and keep organized. I look forward to adding my private collection to the Dave Rubber City Ukes.Dave - Rubber City UkesVersion: 11.2.4

Not intuitiveLook I get why everyone is using this app. But I have to say that I have found this app very frustrating to learn to use. Basic things like figuring out how to pull up the “navigation bar” are very difficulty for me to figure out. I searched the documentation over and over trying to figure out what gesture would pull up the navigation bar and found nothing aside from an old blog post from the developer making fun of people who don’t know about long taps (fyi, long taps don’t bring up the navigation bar). I eventually resorted to randomly poking the screen over and over until I got to settings at which point I was able assign my own gestures. I also find the process of importing pdfs to be needlessly laborious and again not clearly explained in the documentation. I guess if I am to use this for gigs I will need to reserve a couple hours of prep time to scream at the app while I desperately try to execute basic functions. And before snide developers dismiss my comment as coming from some techno-phobe… I work with computers all day long and am no stranger to figuring out how to do things..BcpianoVersion: 13.1.5

Couldn’t live w/o forScoreI hope to never be w/o my iPad and forScore. I have over 400 songs stored in the app. now. I asked support if there is a limit, and they said the only limit is the space on your iPad. Make sure you backup all of that to the cloud, and choose “archive”. I dont always b/u to the cloud, that takes a long time. So I archive locally to the iPad at least after every 10 new songs stored. My file size is now 1.6 GB. The people who wrote forScore are geniuses. They did a great job making it easy to organize and search for songs as long as you have filled in the attributes of your songs. Cropping is one of the greatest tools, along with writing with an iPencil, you know it’s necessary to scribble in the fingering and rhythm sometimes on top of the sheet music, and in different colors. It’s reliable and has never crashed or frozen up. ForScore developers, please don’t drop the product, keep up with future iOS’s. Thanks again..PianowillVersion: 13.0.5

Good features removed in last update.I've been using this app for 8 years now and love it. I'm a of a church band, and the ability to have our vast library of music at the ready is amazing. Also great is being able to easily see our music in low light situations. As a guitarist one of my favorite functions is changing pages with a foot pedal and having the other band members' pages follow along. However, the reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5, is the fact that the cue function (which lets others follow my page turns) is now no longer easily accessible at the top of the app. Along with a few other great shortcuts, now I have to dive in to the bottom of the main menu to access that functionality. Also, the display feature to tell me that I am connected is leading disappeared with it. It makes it hard when your in the middle of a gig and have lost connection to need to search for the cue settings. Please fix this and bring back the easily accessible shortcuts..IthoughtofthisnicknamefirstVersion: 13.0.1

Great BUT problems after IOS 12This is an update on problems listed below after IOS 12 update. ForScore got back to me and found that IOS 12 no longer works with modes 1 and 4 on the Cicada. But switching to other modes resolves the problem. They also problem solved the issue I was experiencing with the screen blackout. They are very responsive and I appreciate their help. I’ve used ForScore for years and it is great. But ever since IOS 12, I’ve experienced two terrible problems. I use the Pageflip Cicada to turn pages and now it doesn’t work with ForScore after the update. The Cicada works with all other IOS apps that use page scrolling. The second problem is that previously ForScore locked the screen so that you didn’t experience screen blackout. Now it reverts to whatever the IOS Display setting is set to. I hope the developers are able to fix these problems. Otherwise, the app will not be very useable..ApplesteVersion: 10.4.9

Fantastic App for musicians. NEEDS BLANK STAFF for notes.This app is a must for professional musicians. I am slowly transitioning from about 25 3 ring binders to my iPad. I make notes all over my music, often writing in parts on top of chord charts, either above the chord chart or off to the side. Freehand notes, I.e, text, is great but I often prefer notation. I hate to have to freehand 5 lines to make a blank staff on which to write my notation. PLEASE add the ability to enter a blank staff when making notes. It could be fairly short (about 1”) with the option to drag it and make it longer. Then we can write our one notation on that staff and have it be really neat. If that gets added, I would give it 5 stars. That’s about all that’s really missing, in my opinion. UPDATE: Please, PLEASE, please add the ability to add a blank staff onto the music so that we might write our notation on actual staff lines, and make it available to us commoners who don’t rent (subscription) our music..1 ÁlbumVersion: 14.1.2

Wonderful with a few issuesI absolutely love this app, and use it religiously every day. I have been using it for the last two years, and overall don’t have many complaints. Since I have been using it for so long, I feel it’s time I finally left some feedback. There are two issues I have, however; 1. When marking up music, it brings a toolbar up at the top of the screen. When numbering measures at the top, this makes it extremely difficult to write at the top of the score. We need the ability to be able to mark up without the toolbar there, or at least have the ability to move the toolbar to where we would prefer it (like toward the bottom or as a side bar) 2. Since the most recent update, there is a TON of lag when marking up scores. I use the Apple Pencil, and I’ve never had problems. With the recent update, however, whenever I markup my scores, there is a lag between what I’m writing and when it actually appears on the page. It’s so bad that I’m having to actually rewrite markings because it lagged so much the first time I wrote it that it didn’t actually register to the page. It’s so frustrating that it’s getting to where I can’t even mark my scores because the lag is so bad. THIS HAS TO BE FIXED! Aside from these two issues, this app is absolutely wonderful. It is a must have for any serious musician. I hope these two issues can be solved in the future, and hopefully the second issue will be fixed very soon!.Better than any journalVersion: 10.4.8

Good Bye Good Ol’ DaysI have been using forScore for several years. The app is incredibly flexible! I am able to do all the work I used to do on hard copies such as notes, highlights and other mark ups. I can organize songs according to my need and really like the ability to create set lists for the groups in which I perform and conduct. I’ve invested in an air turn which is great when I’m performing on an instrument. Importing PDF’s is easy and here’s a game changer; I’m about to send songs to my keyboard player who also has forScore and they’ll be received in a couple of minutes. No more packing them in a big envelope, going to the local P.O. and spending a ton on postage. That saves time and money better used elsewhere. There are many more features that make this app worth every penny but one of the best is I can now say good buy to a heavy case full of books, folders and hard copies of music and carry my iPad! Thanks forScore!.Jeffre 213Version: 10.3

The most used app on my iPad!ForScore has so many useful features. Have used for 2 years and still discovering new things ForScore can do. Like combining PDFs while keeping ForScore annotations intact. So much easier than carrying notebooks full of paper, especially if you want to have ALL your music available at a moment’s notice. I use the PageFlip Dragonfly pedal to turn pages. Set lists are setup in a really useful way that helps keep multiple versions of songs clear. User interface with Dropbox is super easy to use. Sync multiple iPads together so the pages all turn together if you like. The possibilities with this app are endless. I play piano at different jobs almost every day, and this is my go-to app. Considering usefulness vs price, they’re practically giving it away. I was a little nervous when I first went paperless-what if it stops working in the middle of a show? But no worries-the app just works!.Brian BenisonVersion: 10.5.6

Brilliant App, An All-Time Favorite!I absolutely love this app and it’s a strong contender for my favorite app of all-time. Not having to lug around binders and no longer misplacing sheet music is such a game changer for me. forScore is pretty close to perfect. I can easily scan music, annotate, create set lists, attach audio files, tag (and much more) all from a very simple and intuitive interface. This app is perfect for both gigging and practicing. One example of this thing making my life so much easier is - I play bass and scanned an entire Walking Bass practice book into forScore. I then attached all the backing tracks. One issue I had before, and an issue with many similar books, is that the backing tracks for the exercises are way too short, so it’s hard to get into a groove. Another issue is these backing tracks always have a count-in, so looping wasn’t ideal because it would play through the track, then go back to the beginning to the count-in, pulling me out of the zone. With forScore I can loop, but I can also set markers for where to start/end the loop, allowing me to skip the count-in. This alone has improved my practice immensely. To the developers: Thank you so much for this brilliant app! I only wish I had discovered it sooner. You have created an advocate and I will recommend this application to all my musician friends..Bass Steven DEVersion: 10.4.6

AMAZING APP! One small functionality suggestion...This app is amazing. I’m a professional musician in NYC, and having an iPad Pro and ForScore has changed my life for the better. Whether it’s in the process of creating a new show (tons of marking and erasing, and re-marking and erasing again) or finally being able to turn pages easily via a foot pedal with my music further away than where my hands could reach it. Really amazingly helpful. My Christmas wish from you fantastic developers would be the ability to use the selection tool to also cover an area in a color (white out). I use the white out feature all the time to mark cuts in music, and it would be way faster to simply draw a selection with the tool and click one button or two to cover entire lines or sections of a tune in white rather than have to manually use the pencil. Thanks for the great work!.AdamWolfeVersion: 10.3.6

Live changerForScore has been a live changer to me. It's not only about getting rid of all the sheets while practicing and performing but also allowing a cleaner stage to the public's view. After I started using this app, I learn my new pieces faster and feel more comfortable playing chamber music with my trio (flute, viola, and guitar), and duo (harp and guitar). I can go easily to review my old pieces, find repertoire to my students, and send annotated scores to them even if they don't use ForScore. However, I haven't still found all the stamps I need for classical guitar annotations like bars, strings numbers, etc. I hope somebody else will post them out there, or the developers will make them available on the app's site. Update: On the other hand, using the Apple Pencil on the iPad Pro, the experience of writing annotations is like using actual pencil and paper with the advantage that everything is neat and cleaner..Guitar bonacheaVersion: 10.3.3

Simply the Best Sheet Music Viewer & Organizer!!ForScore is great for music in any form, not just sheet music. For example, chord charts with lyrics, or lyrics alone, as long as they’re in a PDF file. And the way it works so seamlessly with my 4-button page turner, is awesome, too. I couldn’t get by with just a 2-button page turner. This app proved to be so good and so useful, I just had to get on board with the annual Pro subscription. If you can, please join me and contribute to the ongoing development of this wonderful musician’s tool. Thank you! The only thing I don’t know how to do yet, if possible, is to break up my music into separate libraries. Having every PDF with some form of music in one Master Library can get daunting to deal with. I’ll be in touch with forScore Support, but from the user manual it sounds like one big Master file is it..Johne154Version: 13.1.2

An Incredible AppI've used this app almost every day for over four years, and think it's about time to write a review. I am a pianist that plays individually and for a wide variety of groups. This app, paired with an iPad Pro and Bluetooth foot pedal for page turning, is the only app I've ever needed for all my music. I've played three entire high school musicals as the primary pianist, with the entire books scanned and imported into forScore. I play in two community jazz bands, and I can take pictures of the paper music and combine them into PDFs directly in the app. I work at a church, where the songs that I play each weeks are organized into many, many folders. And I accompany 3+ choirs, with hundreds of PDFs for them in my forScore library. This is one incredible app that I will continue to use for years to come. I can't recommend it enough!.MainFlierVersion: 10.3

Absolutely the best, this app is exactly what you’re looking forSimply stated, this app is the best sheet music app currently on the market. It is absolutely worth the $15, and it’s been the best $15 bucks I’ve ever spent. I use this app on a regular basis, and it fulfills all my sheet music needs. I scanned my entire sheet music library (about a couple thousand pages) and imported it into ForScore, and I’ll never go back to paper. Despite my large sheet music library size, the app is unbelievably smooth. Plus, I love being able to carry all my sheet music on my iPad; my music is easily accessible, the app has an incredibly smooth interface, even with large files, and it’s very simple to create back-ups and archives. Additionally, if you own an iPad with an Apple Pencil, look no further. The annotation features in this app are flawless and well developed (might I even say even smoother than onenote’s annotation capabilities). I’m not one to usually leave reviews for apps, but I HAD to leave one for this app. I’ve never been so impressed by an app, and I had to leave a review for it and it’s developers. Thank you for this wonderful app, and thank you for continuing to keep it up to date. As a musician, this is the best thing that’s ever happened to me and my sheet music. Thanks again..Mr Blue Coat LlammaVersion: 11.2.5

Great App - a couple of suggestionsI find this to be a great app for reading music, annotating and organizing my music. I play in two bands and sing in two choirs and play for my own enjoyment. Being able to organize my music into libraries is extremely helpful for keeping me organized. And I Iike that I can list a selection in two different libraries without having to enter it twice. I really like the annotation abilities, and being able to set up links for repeats, codas , etc. And I love the ‘rearrange’ function, but I think it could use an update. I’ll talk about that below. I use a foot pedal for page turning when I’m playing my trumpet. I have the airpod pros but have not yet mastered that for piano playing. I also love the fact that I can ‘white out’ a section of music to rewrite without having a mess of overwrites. The weak point in your app is the scan function and the cropping function. I learned early on to scan everything from Scanner Pro for it’s clean images and cropping capabilities. I think your cropping program should allow you to crop one or two staves, or a half page, that can then be inserted as needed using the rearrange function. All in all this is a great app..Nitesong1968Version: 12.1.2

Almost perfect, but there is one thing...I’ve used this app for many years now and don’t ever plan on not using in the future. I’ll admit, I just downloaded it and went to town without a real grasp of how to do things in it. I buried my head in the sand like an ostrich as the software is packed full of things that you could screw up things with and I didn’t want to chance that. With that said, the organizational aspect of this software is where I feel it lacks the most. Sure, they threw a bunch of list view options in there but my biggest gripe is the how the bookmarks work. It would be nice if the bookmarks had the option to inherit metadata from the original file so we don’t have to duplicate our work. I also don’t care for seeing bookmarks as an additional score when looking through “all scores.” The whole concept of having a bookmark being it’s own entity bothers me, I suppose? Lol. While the value of this software is absolutely incredible for everything they pack in to it, I’m uninspired and a little frustrated with the watered down organizational aspects of it mostly from a user interface perspective. It sounds like the developers listen to feedback and I hope they take the time to read this constructive criticism. If it turns out I’m just missing something entirely, I’ll update this review again..MrKiltVersion: 10.3.9

Pencil tools have gotten “too” intuitiveI have loved everything about this app to this date, I have no reason to ever want to use pencil and paper ever again. However, recent updates have made the pencil tools absolutely enraging: switching to eraser, but by the time I touch the pencil to the screen, it has already switched back to pen mode. I didn’t double tap again, yet I have to do this stupid dance with my fingers and screen like four times every time I want to erase something, and in a rehearsal this just cannot be happening! It seems like the tools were better in previous versions, and now it switches on its own for some reason. I’ve gone to the settings and toggled the remember last tool setting and it has not helped. Another tool that would be useful is having clef symbols in the stamps for engraving purposes..MaciascelloVersion: 13.0.4

Great Music PresentationI have been using this app for several years, and it continues to be updated and improved. Additionally, support by the developers is magnificent, and they have always answered my questions quickly and helpfully. I used to haul around big notebooks, but as the playlist of my personal music and the band has expanded, that has become very impractical. I now have 1000+ songs ready to cue up wherever I go - so if I fly to another city and have a gig there, having music handy is very easy. Also, it is easy to share my music - along with performance notes I jot down on the music sheets - with other band members. Inputting new music is easy and straightforward. All-in-all, I have been very happy with this app and highly recommend it to anyone considering moving to an electronic music display..JBplanesandtrainsVersion: 10.5.2

Priceless for Musicians!I have been using ForScore for over two years now. The combination of this program with my AirTurn pedals on my iPad has been invaluable. It is very easy to import music for my conducting, performing at the piano, and accompanying. It is fairly simple to use at the basic level and there is plenty of support documentation for more complicated tasks. Being able to annotate is fantastic and you can also use it to sign documents electronically! The best part of it is that it is so easy on my back. I probably hold what would be close to 100 pounds of music on my iPad. I only have to keep a back up copy of what I am performing that day in my briefcase. It is technology after all. 😏 However, I have never had to use that backup because it just works every time. Well done ForScore!.AAL333Version: 10.3.1

Who’s FaultI have a problem with apple notification banners that pop up on the top of a page of music while I’m playing. Usually the banner will quickly disappear except for this time that I had an important solo on a piece that I played recently at church. Apple’s banner kept insisting that I agree to the latest download that I didn’t want. Every 2 seconds that banner would appear. I kept swiping it away, but it would come right back. Just before my important part it popped up again. I couldn’t make it disappear and -play bassoon at the same time so I blew the solo. Some of my musician friends have also had this problem. I asked an Apple tech person about this problem. I was told that it must be a problem with my 4Score app. Is it your problem or Apples?.Chop104Version: 11.1.8

Honestly worth more than $20Update: Removed 2 stars because there seems to be a common issues with annotations missing or merging. This has been going on since September with the 13.1 update (I believe). Hopefully, this post can get some attention. Beides the major bugs, the app is still great. I was a bit hesitant when I saw the $20 price tag at first. This is taking into consideration that I’ve never payed for an app in the past. However, after seeing a few friends with it and trying it myself, I’m extremely satisfied with the features this app presents. I’m able to share my music with other people and all of my IOS devices, organize and easily notate my music, and add audio and vocal tracks to the bottom of the score. Obviously, there’s more available features than that, but I found these to be the most beneficial to me in the long run..Nicholas19karrVersion: 13.1.6

Everything I could Hope forI’ve been using ForScore for about 5 years and it has just been getting better and better. As a gigging musician, I use it for everything: guitar, piano, and singing. I love that you can access everything in one app. Also, the ability to move set lists around and write notes on all of the music is really helpful. It has really made things so much easier. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone that plays music. The one thing it is lacking is the ability to copy set lists, so you may change them without affecting the original set. It would save a lot of time instead of re-entering the songs. I hope they consider adding that feature; it would be a lifesaver..Wise BobVersion: 13.0.5

Great app but .....The app recently started ‘refreshing’ especially during times when I haven’t opened it for, say, hours. Instead of going straight to the page I had stopped in the last time I used it it suddenly refreshes into a page with ‘basic functions’ like a first time tutorial. This gets frustrating if I have to get at a score during a performance or during teaching. Also it seems to crash a bit more often. Happened when I upgraded, which was the version before THIS latest update you have. Does it have a maximum limit as to data that can be stored? I had almost 2 thousand scores - I am using an ipad with 128 GB storage - and like 90 percent were GONE when I tried to re download the app because of these issues. Hopefully you can understand how I felt when that happened Hoping you can fix this. Otherwise I’d have given five stars without blinking,.Anne2132Version: 12.1

So grateful, very impressed!A lot of times, I will get a call for a gig where there’s an original tune, or a song I do not know. So, I’ll either make a “cheat sheet” or simply chart the song before a rehearsal (or on the plane on route to the gig!). However, 3-ring binders and piles of road maps can become a pain real fast! No music stands with the backline, a “windy” outdoor gig... need I say more? I used ForScore for the first time last week after purchasing the app months ago and I asked myself... Why did I wait so long to use it? I know I have just scratched the surface with my application, but I am thrilled at the coolness of this app. I look forward to learning more in the weeks ahead. Thank you for such a great product to make the music world a better place for musicians worldwide!.TherealestatedrummerVersion: 10.3.5

LoveGot an iPad Pro 10.5 just so I can have the ability to use ForScore. I love everything about this app, after being recommended by many of my musician friends. As a musician Who is consistently traveling, it is nice to have all the music at your convenience without having to carry all your books. It looks great on the 10.5 iPad, and I bet it looks even better on the 12.9 iPad Pro. I am fine with the size of a 10.5. Adding music from IMSLP and other websites are easy, and if you have the extra $$ to get the Apple Pencil, I highly recommend it since we are constantly writing in fingering notes in our scores. This is definitely my favourite app to use for practising and gigging. If you have not got the app yet, what are you waiting for!.ClevelandpianodudeVersion: 10.4.6

Apple Music terribleFirst let me say that I have used this app for years and in the beginning no problems. Then along came the updates each one making it more impossible to play Apple Music that is attached to my sheet music. I have attached hundreds of tunes from Apple Music in the past and they played beautifully. Now if I try to play the attached Apple music I get this message “this song cannot be played due to unresolved issues with the system’s music player on this version of iPadOS”. I am beyond frustrated. I have sent a message to forscore but no reply. They know about this issue and have a workaround but it doesn’t work for me. I guess I am just trying to warn people who use Apple Music that it is disaster in connection to Forscore. Just my experience..Mimikyu99995Version: 14.1.3

All jazzmen need this Ap!I am a semi pro jazz piano player who gigs with numerous other jazz musicians. In the jazz community, it is very common to work out of jazz fake books called “real books”. The ability to have all these books in one convenient Ap, is truly life changing. No more briefcases of books in terrible condition. No more pages blowing around in the wind on gigs outside. No more torn lost pages! No more searching for which book has the song ‘Reincarnation of a lovebird’. It’s right there in the index! At the touch of the screen I have an index that takes me to any song! Than I find out the band leader can have his book linked to other musicians who also have an iPad and this Ap? Utterly amazing! My bass player loves it too. I used to jump around different songs into another and the poor guy had to fake it, figure out where it was and get to it before I hit the bridge, now either he is already there because he is linked to mine or he uses the quick index. If I could give this Ap ten stars I would. The only way to make it better would be to make it free. I can’t even THINK of an improvement to make..Jazz4life and then someVersion: 10.5.2

Comparable to MobileSheetsThis program works well except for an annotation glitch, but it’s not nearly as customizable (in many areas) as MobileSheets, regardless of Pro subscription. It’s also hard to believe that the editing toolbar, which we interact with constantly, is so obtrusive. Every time I stop playing in order to quickly annotate something near the top or bottom of a page, I have to slide the toolbar up/down (which is not as easy to do as in PiaScore) or move the page up/down with two fingers. ForScore says that it’s been like this for 14 years and it’s unlikely to be changed. I recommend MobileSheets, unless you need the few features ForScore has that MobileSheets does not: Page rotation by single degrees via a slider. Reverse cropping (adding more margin space for when scanned music was cut off too much, for example). Automatic renaming of the file when renaming the piece in ForScore. Support from developer is very slow and sometimes nonexistent. Now I have an annotation glitch whereby my latest annotations show correctly whenever I’m currently in annotation mode but they disappear when I click the check mark to exit annotation mode, and they are not there when I export the piece with annotations..AlternativepetsVersion: 14.2.2

Almost PERFECTI’m a singer and this app is absolutely fantastic and has been my go to rehearsal app for years. No more pounds of papers or scores and the annotation is fantastic! I totally love the Apple Pencil integration, but can we please make it so that you can annotate at the same time as having the piano up? Vocalists often practice with a keyboard and it’s annoying to have to close the keyboard to annotate, then close the annotation to open the keyboard back up. Also, we need to be able to flip pages more easily with the annotation open - how often do we mark things during a run of a piece? It’s hard to remember to go to the very top to flip a page. Can you make the finger tap turn the pages with the annotation open when using the Apple Pencil? Thank you so much for creating this app!.DanjamtVersion: 10.5.3

Best music app out!!!I had been using IK Multimedia iGigBook but one of my complaints with them is I have to use one of their Bluetooth pedals and it doesn’t support using midi messages to turn pages, this app does, now I can just bring one pedalboard to a gig to control turning effects on and off, operating my looper app, and dedicating two of the pedals to turn pages back and forth. I use this for guitar chords and lyrics and it’s super easy to import them into the app as PDF files, I can even create a chord chart in something like Pages on my iPad and then export it from there directly into forScore. Thank you for making an app that doesn’t force you to buy a company’s hardware pedal to make it work, this is a dream come true!.Toob FingerVersion: 10.4.6

Total Game ChangerAs a professional musician and educator...forescore has really changed everything for me. I use it on a daily basis. Reading charts on a gig has never been so streamlined and organized for me, but that’s just scratching the surface of the app’s functionality. It’s great for keeping track of everything you’re currently practicing (even has a built in metronome and recording function). I have also started using it in my lessons to take notes for my students. It’s more professional than handwriting the notes, yet much faster than it would be to type the notes into Finale/Sibaleus. If you are are a professional musician, not having this app puts you behind the game. Seriously..DwelshmusicVersion: 10.3.3

OverpricedThis app would be great if it were free. Instead, you pay for half the notation features (the other half are behind a pay wall) and for your notes to be deleted at random after closing. I’ve used this app for years and it hasn’t gotten better. I take pride in my notes, as they are necessary for gigs and score study, but this app is simply undependable. The UI is great, the organization is solid too, but the bugs and page lag make this app inferior to the files app that my iPad comes with. Where did the money I payed for this app go, cause I know it wasn’t to optimization. Very disappointed. I have used this on two different iPad pros, up to date, and the experience is the same on both devices. Maybe I am cursed? Maybe this app is a joke…who knows?.TeacherGbergVersion: 14.2.1

Great appI only have this app for two days. So far, it is very easy to upload my scores that are already in PDF format. Easy to organize my scores, and very easy to make annotations. I am very glad I have chosen this app. I thought I had to configure my AirTurn Ped Pro2 to work with it. It turns out as soon as the app is opened the Ped Pro 2 can turn pages. It cannot be more simple than that. I will try additional features in coming days. For now I only have a simple need and this app does everything I want. Thank you..IwillplaythatsongsomedayVersion: 11.1.8

Really Great Sheets AppI have been really enjoying this app to keep all of my sheets together as well as digital theory books or anything music. I originally refunded the app but gave it another try and I am glad I did. The layout is a bit hard to get used to although after you realize how it works it is very powerful. There are many ways to organize your sheets and also adding the same pdf to multiple folders. You can annotate with layers which is very helpful. Sync works great so all files are on each Mac, ipad or iPhone. Some reviewers mentioned losing their annotations from the updates. I was worried about that but ForScore has 2 backup options from the apps — you can download a backup of your settings and annotations OR a full backup with all files and settings. Then on the mac there is a backup/restore utility from the ForScore website so you can restore older backups. Make sure you generate your own backups or export important annotations since anything can happen. Definitely worth the money and way better than a PDF viewer. Thanks for making it!.Daniel_1010Version: 14.1.3

Perfect App One SuggestionI LOVE this app. You can tell it was created by musicians for musicians. It really does just everything you need it to do in the most intuitive was possible. I can’t really go to the gig without it at this point and shudder when I think of gigs before ForScore (paper charts… ugh). My only recommendation (and I do mean only) is that it would be fantastic if there was a way to jot notes on a chart within a set list but only be able to see those notes on that specific chart while looking at it in that set list. Ie, if you’re playing in multiple cover bands, you might have a song that gets played across multiple cover bands in different ways so it would be awesome to be able to pull up the original chart, make notes for that specific band and then be able to access a clean copy of that chart so you can make notes for the next band that plays that song in case they do things differently. All in all great job with the app folks! Couldn’t be more happy with it. 👍👍👍.Simon MimiVersion: 13.0.5

Ok, Could be great.An ok basic app with missing obvious features. The simplest of them would be the ability to easily invert display settings so that black text over white background could be inverted to white text over black background. Easy auto scroll per song, programmed using the Bluetooth pedal, editable chord labels with instant transpose for guitar or other instruments (capo transpose for second guitar as an exemple). With those features, it would turn into a great app. It’s great for scores but lacking for a band setting or typical solo bar performer..LerecordshopVersion: 13.0.5

Love almost everything…. But for one annoyanceI am learning guitar, and this has been fabulous for organizing all of the million things I’m picking away at. I also like the automatic tracking to help me hold myself accountable to practicing. Unfortunately the tracker stops tracking if the metronome is on screen, and it’s so discouraging to put in time on a metronome drill that I hate only to finish and realize I didn’t get credit on my dashboard!! I know it’s a tiny thing, but on the days when it’s a slog to practice it makes a difference to be able to set a target and meet it and be done….Abz124Version: 13.0.5

Won’t Play AudioThis has been my go-to app for gigs and practicing for a decade. For some reason it no longer plays songs from iTunes/Apple Music which is a shame because having the charts and music together in one app was amazing. I also used the loop, tempo change and transpose functions a lot- none of it works anymore. Not sure if it’s Apple’s fault or the app developers but either way it is not nearly the useful tool it used to be. Please fix it! Used to give this app 5 stars..Sunflower ExpressVersion: 13.0.1

ForScore and poor visionI have just started learning forScore, the reason being, my vision is currently very poor following eye surgery and I wanted a way to make musical scores bigger and easy to read.

ForScore Negative Reviews

Beware of this update. Don’t do it if you’re a serious user. Critical issues…Several critical bugs that have cost me hours of non-value added work. I am a professional that uses forScore on an IPad Pro connected to a Korg Kronos. Here are the issues: 1 - All pages of scores (created on versions earlier than the update) that have been both cropped and manually marked up are a mess. The markup layer no longer aligns with the underlying PDF as the crop characteristics of the PDF layer are gone. Made many pages with manually added notes completely useless. This has created hours of work for me to fix scores I need to use for gigs. 2 - The sending of midi program changes is broken. When the iPad is connected to a synth, sending program changes from forScore crashes the forScore app (completely quits). This happens with both midi embedded in the score as well as midi buttons. Also, when the iPad is connected to a synth changing programs directly for the synth also crashes the app. These crashes don’t happen every time, but it always will crash on the 1st or second or third or fourth etc. It always will crash. Completely unreliable for any performances. This was a nice feature that is now useless. 3 - Navigation buttons created on an earlier version - pressing these buttons on a score (i.e. to back to page 1) causes an immediate app crash..88PianomanVersion: 14.0.1

Unreliable for public performanceI have used forScore for years — I use the pro version with face gestures to turn pages. As a professional musician, it is one of the most important apps on my iPad. There are many advantages that we are all aware of. I would like to share the biggest disadvantage (a bug) which makes forScore unreliable for public performance. Occasionally (roughly once a week, or a few times a month), a score will disappear into a plain white screen with nothing visible except the annotations. It always happens at page turns — usually the first, but sometimes in the middle of a piece. This first happened to me in a public performance two years ago and I no longer use my iPad for public performances, I simply don’t trust the software. I have spoken to three friends who have experienced the same issue, which has not been resolved in two years worth of updates. Do not trust this app for public performance, unless you are able to continue playing from memory if your score disappears, or you are willing to accept the risk of embarrassment! I have reported this issue and hope that my trust in this app can one day be restored..Jct95atlVersion: 13.1.5

From Jana P.I have loved this app as I have had it on my iPad for about five years. I use it for our Ukulele group music. I am the only one of our group that knows how to load and navigate this app so I have been doing this for all of our group members without a bit of problem. The past year whenever I go to please, the song into more than one genre, it will only put it in the first one,it changes and deletes part of the entry when I go to put it in a second genre. I can only have this in one of my genre choices. I like to put it in our main music and then into kids, music or Christian music but it will only take one of them. I also am not able to put any emojis on anything because it brings up a little keyboard now without the option of emojis. I use emojis on every genre entry so now I cannot put any music into any genre because I can't bring up an emoji to match the title on the genre. There is no one to contact to fix this as they stated they are a company of two… I am left with a crippled app,and no one in our group is dealing with this issue. I have been navigating this app for our whole group and I can't fix my own!!!.Hana 🤮Version: 14.1.3

Frustrating/Persistent Glitch despite iOS and app updatesI have always loved this app. I have always used it with my 1st generation iPad Pro but, for the last couple of months, I have been having troubling issues with forScore. The single page turns are starting to lag a lot and when I use half page turns and jump around within a set list, I will turn half a page and the following half page will show the next chart instead of the next page. To get it to go away, I need to tap forward once more (this allows the full following page to display) and tap back once (so I can go back to where I initially intended to be). This is unacceptable to use during a performance because it is causing me to make mistakes and miss entrances. Please have a look into this and find a way to fix it. My iPad is old but it is still in perfectly usable condition and I don’t imagine that should affect how the software works. As much as I would like to avoid it, I have to leave my rating at 2 stars until this problem is resolved..Mscn84lifeVersion: 14.0.1

Good for basic page turning, terrible for saving annotations.If you are planning on using this app as just a substitute for physical sheet music, this is a great app. For those that seek to annotate, mark their music, etc. this app has a very annoying bug that has yet to be fixed as of the most recent version/update. I’ll spend roughly half an hour annotating a score on two or three layers and upon selecting “done” it all disappears. It comes back sometimes when I go back into the editing phase but disappears again when I’m “done”. I’ve had another bug that randomly merges annotations from multiple layers into one layer as well as moving annotations completely from one page to another. In short, if you want to just turn pages and save music electronically, this app is perfect. If you want to utilize any of it’s other annotative functions, simply don’t waste your time..Mystery SnailVersion: 13.1.5

No Support and pages turn by themselvesThe app can do a lot, but when it comes to reliability, they need to do some serious work. There is something that causes pages to turn without touching the screen. It can be 1-4 pages in quick succession. It’s nerve wracking in the middle of a performance to keep track of pages and still be able to engage an audience. I put in a support ticket and got a fairly quick response with a couple of questions about the PDFs I was using and I responded quickly. More than a month and several follow-ups later, still no response—nothing. I even have the PRO subscription, so thought I’d get at least a some sort of response from support. Can’t say I can suggest the app for performance. Definitely don’t go with the pro subscription, since it basically gets you nothing more useful than the basic app..BoomrbuVersion: 14.0.3

I used to love this app but…I am a professional concert pianist who uses forScore on two iPads coupled together to perform with. Since I started using this app aprox. 4 years ago, when I found it to be wonderful, it has become less functional. When issues arise they take longer and longer to get fixed. But my real issue is with the suposedly "Pro" level of support that I am paying good money for. These days, when I have a problem, unless I’m really, really stuck, I don’t bother trying to contact forScore because I know I won’t get an answer. I’m still waiting for an answer to my last email sent on 2022-12-22! There is something wrong with this picture.88ER2Version: 14.0.3

Not reliableDo not buy this app if you have the update of iOS 14 or more as it’s not compatible with the latest version of for score. Had For Score for 2 years, it was always good until last update and now it is lagging for ever and can simply not work with it anymore. I had to buy another app to be able to work as a musician in orchestras. Cause of the lack of update from For Score,the page turns are not reliable, has at least 3 seconds delay for simple tasks as writing, zoom in and out. Over all pretty disappointed that I have to wait for an actual update to have the chance of using it again. I just cannot work with it anymore..PrettydesapointedVersion: 14.1.2

DisappointingPretty disappointed. After reading great reviews was expecting a lot from this 25$ app… pretty underwhelming, not intuitive and lags on my brand new iPad….DodecagoneVersion: 14.1.1

Highlighter featurePlease give us a proper highlighter feature. The one that doesn't make black texts/notes looks smudge..ServingYouGuysHonestReviewVersion: 14.0.3

Page goes blank during performanceI have been using Forscore for the past 5 years as a professional musician and it has been very reliable until the last year, pages will suddenly go blank during performance leaving only my annotations, this is absolutely a horrific experience for anyone who performs classical music professionally. Is there a reason why this happens? Could Forscore fix this? Please don’t be the reason that makes me go back to paper sheet music..Kywi28Version: 14.0.3

Not very user friendlyCan’t access the main screen from my iPad when I am looking at the sheet music. Also the page turning is very awkward. Disappointed in this app..Sunshine_62Version: 14.0.2
