Pros and cons of iWriteMusic app for iPhone and iPad

iWriteMusic app good for

This is a great app!!!!! But it always is saying Turn Off Apps Running in Background when I dont have any, all that is needed is a simple update to fix some of the bugs but overall awsome app
I love this app. I have the iPhone version and the iPad version and they are both truly amazing! I figured entering music this way would be cumbersome, but its incredibly easy and intuitive. I cant think of a single thing that would improve it. Well done!
Fabulous performance, great features, easy-to-use, all around amazing app!
How can I transfer my files from free to the paid app I bought?
Creating a notation app thats actually useable on an iphone is no small feat. Youll notice that there are not iOS versions of Sibelius or Finale. There is a reason for that! I purchased iWriteMusic back in 2013, but it was a while before I began to use it regularly. There was a bit of a learning curve, which in my case, was just a matter of tinkering about until I figured it, out as opposed to watching the tutorial videos or anything like that. The app makes good sense once you get used to it. Its fantastic to be able to jot down ideas – in polyphony - then export them as midi files. This is an app that is regularly tweaked and updated for the better by its developer. They took on a very difficult task in making a workable notation app and in my opinion, have pretty much knocked it out of the park. Five stars.
Very Thanks!!! When there will be a MusicXML or MIDI import support?

Some bad moments

this app needs some serious updates. it lags atrociously, and the controls are non-intuitive, overly complicated, and difficult to use. there is a lot of potential here, but none of it is being shown in this version.
Love it but it crashes alot. Hope you fix it. Its an awesome program, just wish there was no crashing
I just got this app, and I noticed that the interphase was easy, although there were many problems with the changing of eighth notes to quarter notes, or at least I havent found a way to lock their notation, as well as: where are slurs, even ties dont work right. Certain notation options arent available either such as rests atop notes, certain French sayings, etc.. Many thing should be changed to this app, changed and fixed, and* added. Sorry this app has potential.. 2**
The iWriteMusic capacity is really annoying and I appreciate if you remove this restriction so that it doesnt function with the notice of the maximum capacity. Thx
This app is slowly become my go-to for all of my notation needs. Every update just keeps getting better! Keep it up developers!
What a great music notation app in the palm of my hand! It needs a few fixes but its going to be great! I really love its design.
