iClassicalScores App Reviews

as I saw this app, I thought: great! finally all my scores on my ipad! BUT: The way to put it on the app is not that good, because you have to put them file to file and then make a file folder. AND the app couldnt read my files .PDF, if they werent .written pdf... 200 files names to change... No thanks! So if you can fix this, Ill be happy for sure with this app, because its easy to use, and looks good!

Used to work great, with every update however it generally got worse. I couldnt access most scores, it crashed all the time and was hoping with this last update it would fix these problems, but now can only open app occasionally for it to crash seconds after. I know this probably apples fault because most applications dont work for most people, but it would be great if you could work around it and I could continue listening to my Webern with scores again!!! If you fix, Ill remove this review and give it 5* promise! Thank you (btw I am on the latest version IOS 6.1.3)

This app has everything I need from a proffesional score reading app, however it crashes frequently so i cannot give it a perfect score and am hesitant to use it on stage.

The (in-app purchase) extra annotation features make this exactly the app I would want--if I could only find the same search results from imslp that I get from a web search. No search results for William Tell, Sorcerers Apprentice. I assume (hope) the next release will adjust the search algorithm a bit to fix this.

Ive used older versions of this app and the search was very ineffective. Lots of the time the score wouldnt download, either. This seems to have been fixed. Good. However, this app is crashing a lot. About 10 times today already when I am flipping pages. So this cant be used in a real performance setting for sure.

And cant browse imslp. Imslp search is not comprehensive.

Usefull for IMSLP users because of direct download and possibility to create a musical score list based of type of music.

I just purchase this app and Im loving it so far. The only thing is I couldnt download music from IMSLP in the app but I can easily do it in Safari. All the other apps that can download music and paired up with my AirTurn PED are all pretty expensive, like $5 and up. Im really happy with this app. UPDATES⭐️⭐️ I tried to download music through the app again, still theres a glitch. But theres another bigger glitch I found quite inconvenient: when you have a bigger file of music, the loading is not only slower, also if you try to jump to other pages, it crashes. I think the app has a very good concept, really hope the problem could be fixed.

It’s great!! I love orchestra.And I like reading scores. This app makes me very very happy!!! This is my best favorite app!

You can find everything

This app is well organized (interface, features, etc.), and it is a fantastic idea. The problem is that it freezes and crashes constantly...if they can fix the bugs, they will have a five star app. I hate to risk torpedoing a potentially great app with a bad review based on only my personal experience. I think it is inexpensive enough for you to try it out for yourself and to see if you have a better experience.

It seems to be a front end search interface for imslp.org. It would be much more useful if searches returned additional information like the name of the editor, publisher, etc. As it is, its much easier to just open up a browser and look through imslp.org the normal way. Also if you get hung up waiting on the website to respond, you have no way to break out or start a new search short of closing down the program.

Its ok, but there are still a los of scores missing. I hope there are constant updates with new scores.

The IMSLP web site has many more free scores, directly downloadable into the forScore app. This useless iClassicalScores app has no search directory and is missing many valuable scores,such as the Dudley Buck organ variations on the Star Spangled Banner and the Mozart Twinkle variations. Downloading is a hassle - first download, then open in forScore, an extra step not necessary on the direct IMSLP site. Wish I could get my money back!

This would have gotten a perfect five stars if there was the ability to highlight and mark music once you save it to your device. I have aipad and I would love to make notes when Im on the road. Thanks and I hope this becomes an option soon!

Integrates beautifully with IMSLP. Renders music beautifully. Could be improved with highlighting/markup capacity. Absolutely needs the ability to scroll by page to be of use to me.

Cant find any music. crash/close every time I try to update. Fix it or give me back my $. I tried searching for Rachmaninov and couldnt pull up anything. I am so annoyed because I really wanted this app to work.

Doesnt work, simple as that. Go to IMSLP and search for a composer and note the number of works. Now try the same search with this dog. Many, many scores are not shown. I sent a question to them but they didnt have the curtesy to respond.

This is the most amazing app ever!

The pages are really small even on my iPad thats if you can get anything at all there are many other places to find the same only free and better presentation. I also contacted support and got zero response. Save your money and buy something that has actual value. I wish I had.
