App does not open, 3 years since update
This app really needs to be removed from the App Store. Hopefully Apple will remove it soon, would hate for more people to waste time and money on it when it does not work any more.
App does not work -5 Stars
App still does not work at all. Should be pulled from the store at this point. What a shame.
Hasn’t worked for a year
This app no longer works on the new iPads. Don’t buy it. Used to be great. Complete failure now.
This app crashes on iPad iOS ver 16.4
I’m unable to use this app on my iPad since it crashes after login.
App does not work
And the developer continues to say contact support to get updates. I have done this multiple times with no response. Bottom line, the app has apparently been sundowned. Look for functioning options like Tomplay for instance. (Wish this app did work, sigh. )
Doesn’t work on iOS 16
They haven’t updated this app in 3 years! It’s a wonderful app if you have iOS 15 but beware that if you update to ios16 it won’t work anymore and you will lose access to all the songs you purchased
Was Unique and Terrific…. Until iOS 16.3.1
3/3/2023 update: Everything below is/was true with iOS 15. But when apple updated my iPad Pro to 16.3.1, the app stopped working. I’ve tried unsuccessfully to revert to iOS 15 and even erased the iPad and restored an iCloud backup that had been made with the iPad running 15. But no luck; apple configured the restored iPad with 16. I tried downloading the Ipsw file from apple/ipsw but since it’s not “signed” I couldn’t use it with iTunes to revert back to 15. The App publisher (Hal Leonard) has to issue an update for iOS 16 or else one by one, all iPads will be unable to use this. PLEASE Fix so I can resume using this and update my rating back to ***** 5 stars! My original Review: The app is free and you can also get the 1st 30 seconds of each song arrangement as a free demo. The features I like the most: * You can adjust the speed without changing the key. Great for learning new songs and difficult passages. * It automatically turns the pages accurately, going back to a 2nd verse, the chorus or bridge as required. You can also scroll pages forward or back and tap any spot in the song to go directly to the passage you want * You can change to any key desired in an instant * You can annotate your own tips, reminders, alternative chord, etc anywhere on the sheet music with the built in digital pen * You can adjust or mute the melody track or backing track or click track on most songs. Worked flawlessly on my IPad AIR 2 from 2014 as well as my 2nd generation IPad Pro 12.9 from 2017. Truly amazing. Haven’t seen anything like it!
