User Reviews

Sheet Music Scanner is praised for aiding practice with playback and file upload, but reviews repeatedly flag the subscription model, unreliable scanning, laggy performance, and missing features such as page reordering and repeatable measures, especially for complex scores.
Pros
  • Great for practicing and learning, especially for choirs and singers; you can snap photos and get playback guidance.
  • Playback of problem parts and easy sharing of playback files.
  • Metronome and count-in features built-in.
  • Easy to upload and organize practice files across pieces.
Cons
  • Forced subscription and opaque pricing; many users feel upsold.
  • Inconsistent scan results: misses notes, misreads scores, or can't read certain pieces.
  • Laggy and unresponsive performance; slow image capture.
  • Missing or limited features like page reordering and repeatable measures, plus limited support for complex scores.

Been a user since the beginning, suddenly they want yearly or monthly ridiculous subscriptions. For the price ForeScore is way better, what is odd is it won’t restore my subscription that I have had for years, how greedy is that! Been a good run, but will be deleting the app.

Read through this all if you’re looking for an honest review :) I've been using this app for a little over a month now and it’s honestly almost perfect! I’m a 17 year old high schooler in the school band (I play percussion) and the marching season is coming up so I’ve been using this to help me learn how to play my songs and as a way to follow along as I play. The only major downside is how it can't read notations/etc. If there was away to manually input these factors I think that would be very useful. For example: since the app can't read if a note is if a sharp or flat you could just manually put it into the app so that it would know. Or something that I really wish was a thing would be changing the tempo throughout the music piece so when it would play it, it would automatically change it. Something similar to this is how it’s always one time signature. Almost all of my music changes tempo and time signatures throughout the peice so if I want to do just a full run through I really can’t. Also sometimes a tied note plays as two separate notes instead of one, so if there was a way to make a note muted, that would be helpful. What I’ve been doing is doing a screen recording of the song and just piecing it together in CapCut or another editing app which works fine. I’ve searched through many apps and this is so far the closest to what I was looking for and I think this is what I’ll be sticking with unless i find something else.
