## Review summary

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.
