## Review summary

Users praise the app as a capable notation tool for composing music, with useful note/editing and tempo features. However, pervasive ads and heavy paywalls degrade the free experience, and several UI/tool limitations hinder use. Additional frustrations include unclear access to features like color customization and music import. Overall sentiment is positive when ads and paywalls don’t interfere, but negative when they do.

### Pros

- Strong utility for writing and composing music with a notation tool.
- Notes editing and tempo/speed control are available and valued by users.
- Long-term usability; several reviews note years of use and many pieces created using the app.

### Cons

- Intrusive and frequent ads in the free version.
- Many features are locked behind a paid subscription, with some users calling the pricing and paywalls excessive.
- UI/UX issues and tool limitations (e.g., non-functional buttons, tuplet tool limited to multiples of the same note).
- Some features (like background color customization and MusicXML import) are difficult to access or unclear, often perceived as locked behind paywalls or unsupported.
