## Description

**Score Creator** is a mobile music composition app for writing, editing, scanning, and playing sheet music anywhere. Create scores with treble, alto, bass, and neutral clefs; add notes, chords, lyrics, dynamics, articulations, ornaments, slurs, ties, key signatures, and time signatures. Compose lead sheets, solo parts, SATB choir arrangements, and brass or woodwind scores using multiple instrument tracks.

Use the app as a songwriting tool or music education assistant. Playback lets musicians, teachers, and students hear compositions while practicing notation and performance. Transpose songs, support transposing instruments, change musical settings mid-song, and edit with copy and paste, multi-selection, undo, and redo. Import sheet music from MIDI, MusicXML, photos, or PDFs, then export scores as MIDI, MusicXML, PDF, WAV, or MP3 files for use in apps such as Finale, MuseScore, Sibelius, and Encore. The app states that it does not collect or store personal information.

## Review summary

Users largely praise Score Creator as easy to use with a broad instrument library and strong mobile transcription capabilities. They note its versatility for backing piano, choir practice, and on-the-go composing. However, recurring issues include stability problems (crashes and freezes), a two-instrument cap in the free version with unclear upgrade pricing, subpar and inconsistent sound samples, occasional data loss or corruption after updates, and missing advanced features. These drawbacks overshadow the positives for many users, suggesting fixes to stability, pricing clarity, and audio quality would help.

- Wide range of instruments and flexible notation options.
- Mobile-friendly, handy for composing and transcribing on the go.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability (startup and during use).
- Two-instrument cap in the free version with unclear upgrade pricing/upgrade path.
- Subpar and inconsistent sound quality and instrument samples.
- Data loss or corruption: songs deleting themselves or changing due to updates.
