ScoreCloud Express HD 4+

I was just looking for an app that could record what I play on the piano, so I just looked at the price and thought it must be something or else they wouldn’t put a price on it. DO NOT BE FOOLED. The app can only save 10 scores until it asks for more money, the actual system that listens to you play is rubbish: can’t write chords; rhythm is all over the place; less than half the notes are accurate and it writes double the amount of notes you play and it can only write one-clef. After it leaves you speechless over the inaccuracy of the software, the editing available to the score is extremely limited and very awkward to learn and use. After you have been pained to go through this tedious process you will come back to it after a few days and every score you did is gone... PLEASE DON’T BUY THIS MESS!!!

I am a novice songwriter. I know the notes but find it hard to get the timing right in my notation. Using the tips for recording, I either sing the notes with a doh sound or play them singly on an instrument but try to keep it simple. This has meant that, for the most part, the software can cope and gives me, in the main, what it says on the tin. Editing is a bit of a problem. I would like to be able to change the length of a note that’s been analysed incorrectly but can’t work out how to do this. The worst problem I’ve found so far is that I record something for analysis but the programme goes back to the iPad home screen without saving the recording! So I have to repeat the whole process again, sometimes more than once. As I say, this app does what I want it to to a degree and hasn’t cost a lot but if you want it to analyse something with more difficulty, you may well have problems.

Doesn't even begin to do what is expected. Tried this with piano but it can't handle chords, sustain, more than one harmony... worse than that is that even when I tried playing slowly with one note at a time and no sustain, it throws in flats and shops seemingly at random. Piano is tuned properly (I even checked with an electronic tuner) so it's not that. Really disappointing as this has such promise.
