iClassicalScores App Reviews

It has been the best app for sheet music so far, but the update screwed it up for me! I cant open my music anymore. Everything takes forever and once its finally there it wont go back to the main menu! Annoying. Please fix it. I need my scores!

You totally messed up a superb app and - of course - my last gig!! Whats the point??!

You can get all scores via IMSLP and your web browser without paying anything. This doesnt even provide an easy access to IMSLP...

A most useful app; the new layout is pleasing.

After dabbling in piano playing for decades, I started playing more seriously a year ago when I retired. It soon became clear that to progress exercise and etudes are important. (Per Playing the Piano for Pleasure by Charles Cooke.) I have a bookcase of music to play, but no Hanon, nor etudes which I sent to college with a son. Therefore, I downloaded this app and have been very pleased. This app connects me to a huge database of public domain music. I really like the convenience of easily and quickly downloading them. The iPad screen is large enough to use for reading music at the piano. Before this I was downloading pdf files and putting them Kindle. That was tedious. On an iPad air it has performed quite nicely. This most recent update looks like it has added some very nice features. I look forward to trying them out.

I love the app before and the new version looks even better. The customer support was terrific

The practice and annotation tools are very handy and well designed. This is a very useful app.

The update made the app slowwwww. A 3-second response time to taps and swipes is inexcusable. (iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.2) ----ORIGINAL REVIEW---- So glad I got this app. Its great to have scores at ones fingertips (literally). One thing that would be really nice but is almost certainly not feasible would be a way to purchase (via IAP) scans of scores still under copyright in ones own country. Its frustrating finding a score only to discover that it is still under copyright. Another issue is that the app seems to be eating up a lot of my memory even after deleting scores. A suggestion for improvement would be a way to flag certain scans as illegible/poor from within the app. Also, it would be nice to have the ability to straighten certain pages of scores that were not aligned properly when scanned. Other than that, awesome app. Recommended.

I have been using this app since I got the iPad Pro at the beginning of the year. It is great for making notes on scores and parts for my students. I utilize this app mostly for importing classical music from the IMSLP website. I have access to a tremendous amount of music this way. Additionally, I can scan or even take a photo directly from the iPad to import music that I own a copy of. I recently acquired an AirTurn Bluetooth foot pedal for my iPad and it automatically works with this app without having to set anything up. It is fantastic to flip pages without missing a beat.

Went from a very good app in version 2 to a very bad app in version 3. Now, it is almost impossible to download scores from IMSLP, which is why most people got the app in the first place!

I used to like it, except for the awkward sorting order. This is now better, though you need to be at the top of the page to choose your sorting method (when there are many scores this is annoying). In previous update it froze on start. This update (3.0.1) is so slow that I rather use Adobe or iPad iBooks. Life is too short...Hope developers sort out this issue. Update: With the current update of today (3.0.2), it is even S. L. O. W. E. R....... Currently, useless for me.

I just got an iPad and with that and this app, this typical unorganized musician finally has his stuff together.

But I have an iPad 2 and this app causes a great deal of crashes. Sometimes it doesnt load at all and has to be restarted multiple times. If this wouldnt continue to happen it would be a great application. I cant trust it to be reliable in a live performance setting, which is unfortunate. I think the developers need to get their act together and put out software that works if they expect us to pay for it. I think it is sad and frustrating. Dont waste your money.

As a musician, I can keep off line the scores I find on Internet and need for my studies!

I enter "Beethoven eroica". What do I get? "Did you mean: Beethoven Broca?" Ok, I find the score some other way. Clicking on it gives a preview. (Of the title page only.) Then what? How do I download it? So maybe I should read the user guide. That is a 1 page pdf that says that version 3 is under development. I am so not impressed.

Very useful.

I love the idea of digitizing my my music so I can travel with all my pieces on my iPad, but the program is too unreliable to use. When I open a piece it displays for a few seconds, then the app crashes. restarting it does no good, it just shuts down again. Would love it if it would work!

This used to be one of my most used apps. Now it crashes every time I try to open a score, making it absolutely useless.

I upgraded my iPad Air to iOS 10 and now scores wont load from Dropbox.

The app still crashes when searching for some scores. Even with the update in my IPad Air. More updates please!!!
