A good app, reads sheet music well (sometimes) as long as it's a good picture. Will sometimes skip rests, and well as not read grace notes. Doesn't consider key signature, so if you are looking for correct notes int he key signature and rhythms it might be an issue. I wish you could make the sound bass clarinet, but does have most of the more common instruments.

Very effective app. I can sit down at my cello to practice, and when I get to a tough bit I can simply open this app, take a photo of the page of music, press 'scan' and the notes are ready to play. The really good bit is that the scanned page is visible, so I can start the playback at the right spot by simply tapping it. I can select speed of playback too, slow for practice and then up to full speed (or beyond) when I'm ready. All within the app. Scanned pages can be saved and retrieved.

I am a Cantor in my village Church, and our Cantor-book has very few published recordings available. This makes it difficult to practice for amateurs like me who can't read music so well. This app makes it unbelievably easy for me to practice for my weekly duties without having to bother my Organist during the week to practice with me. This is exactly what I needed, and I am so thankful that it exists.
