User Reviews

Users appreciate Sibelius mobile app for its music notation capabilities, familiar font, and basic playback, finding it useful for quick jotting of ideas. However, multiple reviews highlight significant usability issues including frequent crashes, inability to open or upload files, problematic back button behavior, missing features like MIDI export and autosave, and an unfriendly file selection interface. While developers have responded to some concerns, the app currently falls short of expectations compared to the desktop version, limiting its practical use.

Pros

User interface is fairly intuitive for note input.
App provides playback functionality for composed music.
Developers are responsive and provide updates to fix issues.
App is useful for jotting down musical motifs and ideas on mobile devices.

Cons

App is extremely glitchy and prone to crashing.
Users face issues opening and uploading their existing Sibelius (.sib) files.
Back button behavior is problematic, often causing app to exit or open device file explorer rather than navigating within the app.
Lack of key features such as exporting to MIDI, autosave, and proper formatting tools.
File browsing interface shows all file types instead of filtering to supported formats, causing confusion.
