## Review summary

iWriteMusic offers strong mobile notation capabilities with a broad feature set and ease of note-taking after a learning curve, but its major drawbacks are stability, playback reliability, sharing limitations, and missing notation features; UI can feel cramped on small screens.

### Pros

- Broad, feature-rich notation tools that work on iPhone.
- After a learning curve, writing notes is easy and intuitive.
- Fun and engaging for drafting ideas and hearing music come to life.
- Playback/transpose features aid experimentation.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and stability problems, especially with longer songs.
- Playback dynamics and articulation are unreliable; instrument levels vary.
- Export/sharing is inconsistent; emailing and cross-song copying are problematic.
- Notation/instrument gaps (glissando, pizzicato) and some sounds are subpar.
- UI/input on small screens can be cramped and some controls are hard to use.
