  Very good but still room to be better

  The app does the job nicely for the most part. Little missing things here and there keep it from being great—when installing on a new device, I have to add a document on that device first to be able to set up iCloud sync; and I’ve found no way to move multiple items to a library in one go. Things like that.

  Can’t share set lists!

  It should be easy to share a set list, but spent an hour and can’t figure it out. Am I an idiot, or is this an inexcusable flaw?

  iPhone syncing fails often without notice

  I have forscore on Mac iPad and iPhone. I do most of the Inuit on Mac, most playing using iPad, and use iPhone just because it’s handy at times. iPhone consistently stops syncing due to some vague “server date” problem. Restarting requires choosing server or iOS. Unacceptable. I’m deleting the iPhone app.

  New version kills iCloud sync with old version??

  TLDR: DO NOT UPGRADE if you are using iCloud syncing with any older iPads. New version of forScore appears to transparently change sync data without warning, which prevents older versions from syncing. Bought a new iPad last month and installed forScore on it. Set up iCloud syncing like normal. It’s not my sheet music iPad, but nice to have music on it for the occasional use. Went to my sheet music iPad today and realized it hasn’t synced since last month. Dragged down in the dialog box to force a sync, and an error message pops up: “forScore Update Required.” Okay, went to App Store. No updates available - forScore requires iOS 17 or later. Sheet music iPad is an old iPad Pro, because hey it’s just sheet music and that doesn’t require much processing power. Was working great, until I have to upgrade iOS, and the iPad is too old to do that. And now I can’t sync my sheet music, so the iPad basically got obsoleted with no warning and no way to roll it back. To be clear, my complaint is not that forScore got upgraded and now only supports newer iOSes. That’s fine and appropriate. My complaint is that setting up iCloud sync on a newer version apparently changed my sync data and has now rendered my previously functional iPad useless. There was no warning from forScore that they were going to do this. There’s no backwards compatibility. There’s no way to roll back either the forScore version or the old iCloud sync data. There’s no way to get my previously perfectly functional iPad working again. Really feels like a particularly customer-unfriendly approach. Wish I had literally any option other than buying a new iPad. 🤦‍♂️

  Unresponsive app and No Support for help

  This app, although great in theory, does not do anything it says it does in the screen shots. I Cant even find their phone or email for help. Way too difficult for a beginner. I'll request a refund through my CC since i can't get ahold of this company.

  Doesn’t work at all

  IPad Pro is up to date. Downloaded and -aid for the pro version of the software. I cannot make it work. Not recommended!

  Good app, started having issues…

  Notes on pages randomly become invisible. This is unacceptable. It almost cost me a very special performance. Please fix your app.
