Great music reading app for android users, few key features missing hence the -1 star - ability to export or print PDFs with the annotations and also crop out whites of the documents while viewing. Hope to see this app continue to grow! Thank you for bringing it to android 👍🏻

It serves its purpose, the library is open and doesn't really require an app yet it's a very nice detail they created one. I know I'm asking for too much but the functionality to have some sort of practice mode rendered as a player/reader would be heaven (as in Musescore but actually functional), although really the ability to auto-page turn with a set tempo would do the trick.

The app is extremely well designed, both in terms of searching for sheet music and recordings on IMSLP, as well as for viewing scores and listening to recordings that you have already downloaded. PDF annotation works well, allowing you add musical symbols or custom drawings and handwritten text with your finger or stylus, or add text boxes that you can type in with the on-screen keyboard. All annotations are erasable, and typed text can be edited after it has been saved to the score. The app manages to strike the right balance between free content and content that requires a subscription, and the subscription itself is priced very reasonably. For the record, everything that is free on the IMSLP website is free in the app, and if you do opt to take the subscription it is valid for both the app and the website. If you already have a subscription to the website then that is also valid in the app. Overall the app has a premium feel that is not at all compromised in the free version. It is a far more convenient way to access IMSLP than using a web browser on a mobile device, or transferring scores from a PC via Dropbox or similar as I was doing before this app existed.
