User Reviews

Crescendo shows promise with rich notation, MIDI compatibility, and free features, and is valued for its learning potential. However, users report serious reliability and file-management issues: unsaved work, problematic file formats, and confusing pricing. UI/onboarding can be cluttered on small screens, and performance varies across devices/Android versions. These core stability and licensing concerns overshadow the strengths for many users.

Pros

Rich notation features including multiple staves and transposition.
MIDI import/export and playback support.
Free features and good value with many capabilities available without paying.
Educational value and a manageable learning curve (about an hour) to learn how to use it.

Cons

Data loss or unsaved work due to saving issues (save-as-new) and unreliable saves.
File handling and compatibility bugs (opening/saving .cdo files, XML imports, and open dialogs).
Pricing/licensing confusion and subscription problems.
Onboarding and UX clutter, with some missing UI elements and clunky input.
Stability/compatibility issues on certain devices/Android versions (crashes or won't run on some setups).
