User Reviews

ForScore offers a powerful, all-in-one sheet-music library with annotations, set lists, and cross-device syncing, plus hands-free page turning. However, users repeatedly report lag and reliability problems after updates, confusing UI changes, stability issues, and feature regressions (e.g., annotated PDF export and extended display). Apple Pencil editing glitches also surface. The app remains highly valued for live performance and organization, but ongoing improvements to performance, reliability, and UX are essential for broader satisfaction.

Pros

Comprehensive music-library features (annotation/markup, set lists, scanning/importing, and organizing) with built-in tools like metronome and tuner.
Hands-free page turning across devices (facial-recognition page turning; contactless turning) and compatibility with external pedal support.
Sync across devices and offline access (store music on iPad/iPhone or computer and don’t rely on constant internet).
Live-performance efficiency and portability (reduces physical gear load, easy management for multiple ensembles)

Cons

Significant lag and slow performance after updates (laggy page turns and slow searches).
UI/UX changes that hide features and complicate navigation (toolbar behavior, bubbly elements, difficulty locating song lists).
Stability problems (crashes, freezes, unreliability requiring force-quits).
Feature regressions or removals (loss/modification of exporting annotated PDFs, extended display issues).
Apple Pencil annotation glitches and editing hiccups in editing mode.

Recent reviews

As of this writing I have 1047 scores and counting. I am totally committed to this app, but as described in other reviews it has more than one achilles heal. My particular issue is that it has a buffering problem. If you are writing your own scores or charts from scratch or marking things up with the annotation bar, it has occasion to erase a huge portion of your work when you close the annotation bar. It does this at random. I find myself having to rewrite all or a portion of a chart at least once every time I have a medium sized chart session (15 or more). These are mostly one pagers and two pagers. If you are scoring on this by hand the potential to lose a large portion of work is very real. They have known of the problem for years. Do a search. Sadly it is a great app and many of the people I work with use it. Other issues that have been brought up are moving work across platforms.

Love the app except navigation needs a lot of improvement to make it more intuitive. I spend too much time trying to figure out how to do some things which is frustrating.
