MobileSheets®

Got extremely excited to see this app finally on iOS. First attempt to sync from my Windows version to iPad and.... with horror, realized it was deleting from my computer rather than adding to my iPad. If I could change anything, I would like to see a more robust syncing system than what's currently in place. Right now, there is no confirmation warning, and restoring from backup requires copying to a local or icloud location (it thinks cloud files from connected services don't exist, despite clicking it to get that very message). The reason I still 5 star this is that I've used it for years at this point on my computer. It has automatic backups, and the manual backups restored my library without issue, thankfully. Additionally, the developer is extremely passionate and transparent about development of this program, and unlike apps like Forscore, doesn't paywall features. Happy to see this on iOS, and I hope to see improvements like those above!

Title says it all. MobileSheets is fantastic and I have encouraged everyone I know who uses forScore, to try Mobilesheets instead. I was always annoyed by ForScore’s various UX idiosyncrasies (one of the least intuitive apps I’ve ever used) but I was invested due to the years of work I’d put into my scores. But then: It lost ALL MY ANNOTATIONS. I only ever use score-layer, and after a sync, they were all gone. I opened a ticket, but it took so long for the support team to get back to me (and then correspond with anything useful), that I’d already continued to work in my library, making more changes, and at that point there was no way I could restore from backup without losing all my changes. I tried Mobilesheets and immediately found it much, much easier to navigate. I bit the bullet and imported all my PDFs, to start anew. I haven’t looked back since. There are a few features I’d like to see (mainly around Apple Pencil/annotation options) but they’re minor. And there are so many regular updates from the developer, with exquisitely detailed release notes, that I have great hopes for its future.
