User Reviews

User reviews praise Symphony for ease of use, portability, and strong export options (MusicXML, MP3) plus classroom usefulness. Its on-the-go notation, ability to print scores, and MuseScore compatibility are commonly cited positives. Recurring downsides focus on stability: frequent crashes and occasional launch failures. Some reviewers also note editing/UI quirks and difficulty with tempo/instrument edits. A few miss MIDI OUT or note that free-version features are limited. Overall, the app is valued for quick ideas and practice, but reliability concerns are repeatedly mentioned.

Pros

Easy to use with an intuitive interface and efficient input (one-touch note/rest values).
Great for sketching on the go and travel, allowing quick notation anywhere.
Strong export and print capabilities, including MusicXML export, printable scores, and MP3s for practice.
Helpful for learning, practicing, and classroom use, with features that support preparing pieces and practice materials.
Good workflow with MusicXML compatibility and support for external tools (e.g., MuseScore) and input hardware like the Apple Pencil.

Cons

Crashes and instability (frequent crashes, bars missing after restarts, app sometimes won’t open).
UI and editing limitations (difficult to place notation, editing is awkward, tempo/instrument changes are hard).
Missing MIDI OUT functionality on the iPhone app.
Free version limitations (limited features in the free version; upgrade needed for full functionality).
