digitalScore, read sheet music

The very minute I was writing an angry review, the app updated to fix a major freezing problem after the latest iOS update. Thank you! I was having to use other music reading apps in the interim and I was not happy because this one is so much better! I also discovered that I had set up automatic iCloud backup in my iCloud folder and I’m so glad because I didn’t want to lose everything. So if you had the problem I had, look there. By the way, please update your support email, it’s getting bounced back.

Maybe the low rating here is because of what just happened to me. I was intending to give 5-stars, by selecting one at a time, but after selecting the first star, my review immediately finalized as a 1-star review. That should be fixed to avoid such confusion. I did it over again, after that, by selecting the 5th star first, and my intended 5-star rating went though. I really like DigitalScore. I've used Forscore extensively. And while it has great features, I've found the interface often clumsy, not intuitive. For example, extra steps often needed to maneuver between setlists, tags, librairies, etc. Feels like guess work. That's why I've switched to DS, which I found quite user friendly, intuitive, very straight-forward interface. So, don't be fooled by what now appears as low ratings. Great app. I just wish they would offer a "replace" and "overright" feature (like FS), for importing the same song more than once, instead of automatcialy creating an extension. But that's workable, and small issue to be able to have the user-friendly, stress-free interface.

I wanted to try out starting to digitize my music. I was recommended to forscore, but when I saw the big price I looked elsewhere. This app has been absolutely amazing and I love I can try it without spending $20 without knowing what I am getting into! Only thing I wish was different was the color of the app. It is quite bright and I wish I could choose a sort of dark mode so that the screen wasn’t pure white.
