User Reviews

Notion is praised for being easy to use, with a solid instrument library and strong score/notation capabilities, plus good cross‑platform use and accurate score printing. However, users frequently report data loss after updates, persistent login/purchase issues, unstable copy/paste, missing core features (GM sounds, MIDI-out) and chord diagram editing, and concerns over subscription pricing gating features. Overall, usability and workflow are strong, but reliability, feature completeness, and pricing are common pain points.

Pros

Easy to use with an intuitive interface across iPad and Mac
Wide instrument library / instrument variety
Strong scoring/notational capabilities and considered a solid workhorse for score creation
Good cross-platform interoperability between iPad and Mac desktop
Accurate printing of orchestral scores and parts

Cons

Data loss and unreliable backups: scores can be erased or lost after updates or overhaul
Login/sign-in and restore purchases problems: accounts get stuck, purchases not being recognized
Copy/paste across measures is buggy or unreliable
Missing core features and chord diagram editing removal: GM sounds, MIDI-out, and chord diagrams limited or removed; some percussion sounds missing
Subscription pricing and gating: ongoing fees, locking features behind a subscription, and perceived paywalls

This app is great, but some things are missing. For example, there could be more instruments like a simple wind chime. I usually use the wind chime in most pieces but here, I have to use another instrument. Also, could you maybe add some features like playing second time only for repeats? That would help a lot! Also, speaking of repeats, could you guys also add separate dynamics for each repeats pass? That would also be nice! Thanks for reading! Hope you can add the features I mentioned!

I have been using a 1st gen iPad for this app which runs IOS 16 or 17. I recently bought an iPad Air 3 and an iPad Air 5, both running IOS 26. This is the only app that will not allow me to restore purchases I have made so I can used my paid apps on the more recent devices. I even tried to pay for the Feature Bundle on the newer models. It says “You cannot redownload this feature” (can’t remember exact wording). I have Fender notion on my Samsung Galaxy S8 Ultra tablet and my S23 Ultra. No issues with restore purchase. If Dorico had an Android app, I would just pay the pricier one-time purchase. Will someone please fix this? I had Notion since it was called Notion for iPad and made the user pay for EVERY extra feature.
