User Reviews

Overall, Sheet Music Reader Halbestunde is valued for fast, easy scanning of sheet music and its potential to aid learning and practice. However, multiple reviews highlight persistent barriers: a subscription-centered model that hides free use, payment/login friction, and the need to pay to listen; plus unreliable scanning results and gaps in instrument coverage. The app is helpful but with notable entry and reliability issues.

Pros

Strong sheet-music scanning/conversion from photos or PDFs with quick results.
Educational value; helps users learn songs and improve playing.
Generally easy to use and provides a supportive experience for practice.

Cons

Subscription-based model that locks listening and many features behind a paywall.
Payment/setup friction and upfront charges (credit card trap and 7-day free model).
Account creation required to listen, adding friction.
Unreliable scanning results: wrong notes, incomplete digitization, or white-screen failures.
Gaps in instrument coverage (no harp option, missing percussion/bass elements; organ not included).

Recent reviews

I use the app once and they keep asking to subscribe, and now I can't even use the app twice because every time I try to load a pdf it say join premium. Can't even use it twice😡

I really wanted to like this app. It scans your music sheet but finds a similar sheet and not the one you want to practice, which defeats the purpose. On several occasions it found an entirely different song.

I downloaded this app to try to bring my original music/ warm ups playable but when I try to get it to play it won’t play I overall think you shouldn’t purchase.
