NotateMe Now

Desperately wanted this to work but the editing and recognition is terrible. My money is ready waiting for when it does what it says on the tin properly.

I hope they can improve more the photoscore in detecting staves.. Please fix also the recognition for quarter note. Most of the time, my quarter note is being converted into quarter rest...I also want to get the full version of it but it is too expensive for me..

App works ok for a free thing, but I wouldn't want it this unreliable for the kind of money they ask for the full product. INFURIATING that you need to purchase Notateme in order to get the full version of Photoscore as I have no use at all for Notateme and use Photoscore Now all the time. Why can't I just buy the bit I want?

1st thoughts. If you are going to limit to 1 stave, then LET ME PICK it with a crop tool. I don't think this free version is going to be able to allow me to determine the capabilities to consider paying for the upgrades.

This did all I wanted fantastically, far better than other apps I downloaded, however the app is a bit too crowded and could do with a new layout easier to navigate. Thanks so much

I like this app, as a compliment to the full version I have on my iPad Pro. Between the Note 4 stylus and the apple pencil, notation is very accurate. I use the free verson on the phone because that's about all a small screen can utilize. I wouldn't mind trying the full version but don't want to pay full price again for the Android version. I have got the paid ipad app very early on and it has only become better. The developers seem to respond well, too. Try the free version, buy the full if you need more.

All you can do is press play and listen to amazing grace! I don't even know if this can legitimately be called an application.

Hard to use, cannot do what i desire most of the time, making it useless.

You need to get the costly full version to export scores. Interface is bad, still makes constant mistakes.

Awesome app! Just use a good photo. Gotta go pro if you want all the cool stuff but awesome and useful free too

And very hard to use. Can't even see the buttons.

Would support development buying the full version if it wasnt so expensive. I believe you need to change your business model.

This is just the kind of app I was looking for.

Overall this is amazing and I really love it.. I hope they can improve more the photoscore in detectong staves.. I want to get the full version of it but it is too expensive for me.. :(

It's a pain to get recognized. I'm using a note 4 and being careful, but every other note needs a lot of re-doing. It'll be a smashing app when it'll work! You should allow multi staff on free app for a few bars, just for testing. Why not all the features for a few days? It's an expensive app, if it doesn't work. I wouldn't pay the price without testing all the features important to me.

A good idea but screen difficult to read.Lots of grey.Need to be able lo user change the screen colours.Keeps causing phone to freeze. Resetting takes so long.

Look I get the temptation. A handwriten score system with OCR sounds cool but is unwieldy in reality and unbearably slow to write anything down in - more so than paper (blank white paper with no staff). Top menu too dim to see, bottom obscured by text. Menu over handwritten staff is all that is usable. Why's it so hard to get an app that does what Atari, Apple & Comodore did perfectly in 1990 & in 64K? We want multiple saffs, notation, guitar chords with lyrics (more than 1 line) that flow properly under the notes. THE THINGS YOU CAN DO ON PAPER. I'm a senior IT guy and very experienced composer & songwriter & this *tries* but sucks on all counts (IT & music). It's got 1 cool gimick but you have to fight the software & you want $50 so I can TEST it. I'll use a virtual desktop and my *FREE* PC & Mac notation software instead.

The OCR was more then perfect! After saving a 3 page composion, the software could not open it as a midi format: it tried and crashed. Also, on my samsung galaxy note 10.1, I can hardly see a very faint menu. I am using Neuratron's musicscore on my desktop computer in conjunction with Sibelius to my best satisfaction. This was my only and first dis-satisfaction with Neuratron. Here is my continued response: Now, the crash happens when I hit the upper-right corner (there is something very faint, highly unreadable!) From there I pick the Export---Open Midi---CRASH. Why isn't there an option to read a pdf file? Why are the menu items UNREADABLE?

At first I thought I needed to just get used to the app. But the more I worked with it the worse it became. A simple 3 note chord turned into a 5 note mesh of notes. Plus I can't get a grand staff to write music for piano!

This app is a joke. It's really to write something that can be recognized by it even if do it correctly making one waste the time.

The only thing that coul be improved is to add a list of most common used notation that you can add superquickly dragging it

Layout fiddly. Certainly wouldn't pay for other features. Rather use LilyPond on desktop

It's not working I cant access it

Many notes it just doesn't recognize, 1/4 note B on middle line it always interprets as a 1/4 rest. Can't find how to "Unlearn" incorrect symbols. I found this app completely unusable.

This app is best of world!!!!!

couldn't install

Does not recognize ANYTHING i write

I'm enjoying this app and would like to get the paid version but like many people have stated the cost is too high for the paid. Please let me know if it ever goes on sale.

But paid version including PhotoScore is too costly to the cost of living in India ₹3,850 is more than the cost of 1 gram gold.

App works ok for a free thing, but I wouldn't want it this unreliable for the kind of money they ask for the full product. It's very hard to generate a total price also, as you need the full version to in app purchase photoscore, so I can't even get the price without buying something! Since I already own desktop versions of these things I think a discount should be available. If I own a £600 full product, it would be nice to think that's valued over Johnny in the street.

But the full version is too expensive for ordinary users.

It won't let me use photoscore and that was the main reason I downloaded the app. It won't work on my Galaxy tab 3. Why not?!!!

I've tried many musical notation apps and grown increasingly frustrated with them. Until I came across NotateMe. The app is not very intuitive at first sight, and the learning curve is steep. But, once you get used to it, you just love how capable it is. I ended up buying the full version.

Could use: S-pen only mode, recognize s-pen eraser, zooming, better instrument selection (e.g. folders), more intuitive way to open/save files. But the drawing recognition works really well once it's trained.

I think they have finished the work here! They have built the most amazing music notation app! The only thing is that it's just a little pricey!

I got to take a picture of a score for the flute on my Samsung Tab 3, and it was surprisingly accurate! Photoscore missed out the four bar block rest, some of the staccato notes and the accent at the end of the piece, but that doesn't matter. ☺ Thanks! P.S. Photoscore can also scan features that are only in the paid version e.g. dynamics.

Its a good app because it let's you test your skills but then it's kind of confusing!!!

I was surprised how well this free version worked. I took a photo of a folktune from a book and was able to listen to it and export it as a midi within 2 minutes. Quite an impressive tool for people who only dabble in music and remember better by hearing than reading.

Having the option of importing existing photos such as screenshots would be great. Also the app sometimes forgets that's accidentals tied across the bar line carry over.

Has a lot of potential, but still buggy and inconsistent. I'd pay $10, even $20 for this. But $40, plus in app purchases? Nope.
