Paperless Music reviews
4.8 out of 5, based on 1,693 reviews.
What people like
- Works great with page turner pedals
- Great value for the price
- Simple interface that just works
What they complain about
- No cloud sync between devices
- Cannot play audio back
- Importing files is slow and messy
- Missing folders for better organization
Best app ever.
Super attractive business model. I got a THREE MONTH FREE TRIAL just by downloading. No credit card needed for THREE WHOLE MONTHS. That’s more than long enough to decide if it’s worth your time and money.
Too early
I’ve barely had the app 5 minutes and you already want me to write a review?
Great app
I am using this app every time I pick up my ukulele to practise. I can find my favourite music, add new music I retrieved from various internet sources. I can link to video tutorials specific to the music I am playing I can save multiple urls as text - it would be nice to be able to save multiple links.
Screen flashes on page turn
Not sure why but there is a delay on my ipad when I change pages.
One thing is missing
Living in an era where people are accustomed to having access to their files on all their devices and changes are transferred instantly in the background, I really miss a cloud sync feature here. To be fair, the app offers a workaround that reminds me of how we managed things 20 years ago—export your files on one device and import them on another. This is so inconvenient! Instead, I would like to access and change my scores on all my devices without having to worry about transferring them to all my devices manually. That’s a terrible solution.
Works great!
I’ve been using this now for over a year and am very pleased with it. As a bass player, I use it often for practicing and preparing for gigs. It’s especially helpful with long charts or charts with multiple page turns. Using a page turning pedal has been huge for me.
Let me play back songs
Why can’t you play back songs? This is so stupid that you can’t hear the songs that you have. Just use Musescore.
DEVS PLEASE FIX THIS
This app is perfect except one thing that is really grinding my gears: in portrait mode I cannot zoom in on the page AND get ride of the tool bar. When I tap the tool bar out, the page returns to its original size. I want the page to remained zoomed the way I want when the tool bar gets tapped away. Landscape mode has a zoom feature that allows me to do this, I don’t understand why portrait mode does not. It’s a small thing, but it’s enough to make me browse other apps that has the zoom feature I want.
No family download
Issue family download ? Apple ? Software Please fix
It's fine. Odd shortfalls keeping it from being The One App.
Facial gestures are inarguably cool if you're working with multi-page pieces. I like the way it tracks annotations separately from the doc. It's geniunely good. Except...it's bad for tunebooks, or any other assemblage of music indexed by text. If you have, say, the Kingston Irish Slow Session Tune Book, there are hundreds of tunes, often two per page, and the way to find the one you want is to go to the index or the table of contents, find the thing you want, and go to that page. PDFs are searchable formats, and the app is already handling PDFs, so I'm not sure what the objection is. In any case, I have Paperless Music, but also still have ForScore, Notability, and GoodReader. Paperless Music is worth having, it just...can't do as much on its own as I wish it would.
Great app!
I’ve been looking for a way to organize and categorize guitar tabs for my band and this is a great app. works well with the Donner page turner as well. Easy to share all this with my band mates too. Highly recommend and a great price too!
Paperless music
The app stinks! Won’t recognize onsong files can’t see inside my book app where I have multiple pdf music files. Worthless
R
Ok
Disappointed
This app is a music reader and pdf organizer. Editing is limited to importing pictures or pdfs and uses basic overlay to annotate file but not edit the underlying music, ie a basic overlay, with a few bells and whistles. Documentation shows music titles with duration time, but the app itself doesnt have the ability to play anything. This app does allow organization of multiple pdf, a bit better than Apple books in this regard.
Question
If I already have the app and all my music on my iPad, is there a way to open all that music if I put the app on my iPhone also? I don’t see a login option, so my phone has no idea that it’s the same account I already have on a different device. If not, do I just archive all the music on the iPad and share that with my iPhone? I’d rather just be able to open the app on either device and have everything in both places.
G Wiz it’s awesome!
There was no expectation other a need for a tool to save some effort and paper. What an understatement that said! You have got a 5 star rating from me! Now back to the music….. Keep on Pickin!
Great App, but would like some type of Looping Function
I use that app for all of my sheet music, but sometimes I like to repeat back to the beginning or to a specific spot. Other than that, this app is perfect.
Messy importing and crashed
Used it for a few months. Uploading all the sheet music from OneDrive was messy, as I have thousands of PDF's and it skipped several of them. Also, it used old names of some pdf's, which made me have to change the names manually. Since last week, when I tried to download a new score, it crashed during "importing" and there is no way to stop it. It makes it necessary for me to say goodbye to this app. Luckily all my sheet music is safe in the cloud, except that I manually added buttons to skip to coda's, and those are all gone now. Hope my next app doesn't crash!
Verbesserungsfähig
Musste meine gesamte Bibliothek (100 Stücke) einzeln importieren, da der Gruppenupload aus der Dropbox nicht funktionierte. Die Titel aller meiner Stücke sind in Kleinbuchstaben umgewandelt - leider… außerdem werde ich nach dem Import als Komponist ausgegeben, weil ich der Autor der PDFs bin. Das ist natürlich genauso Quatsch. Zu guter letzt kann man die Bibliothek nicht zwischen verschiedenen Geräten synchronisieren, das funktioniert nur über Up- und Download eines Archivs. Ansonsten hübsch und übersichtlich.
Easiest: Gigs and personal
I have purchased three of these, including forScore, and Paperless music has the others beat. Paperless music easily enabled me to take photos of set lists, marked up sheet music, and all sorts of notes. I play in an active Motown band and I have free workshops on zoom to teach musicians to play in nursing homes (PlayitForward.music), and I am encouraging all of them to buy Paperless Music. I downloaded this for my iPad last weekend and for my iPhone last night. Was able to import the iPad files to the iphone. Easy
An Amazing App!
This app is fantastic for putting music on my iPad to use when performing live. It lets me make set lists and enables me to edit and label my music!
iOS 16.2
I recently updated my ipad. This app is no longer part of the option list location where you can saved your pdf work. I tried airdropping a pdf file from my iphone to my ipad, but this app is still not on the list for location/destination of the file
So useful and easy to use
It’s perfect for my use. I play regularly in Church and twice a year in the orchestra. All my music is put on the app and uploading new songs is so easy. I highly recommend this app. For the price they ask you’ll be surprised how much you get in features for that amount. A friend paid hundreds for his app. I showed him this app and he was impressed as it matches his in features!
Not happy
Using a new iPad Pro 11” I bought this app yesterday 2/22/23 I was able to import files, but from that point on frustration. I wanted a simple iPad software for chord charts and sets for different bands, I’m not concerned with most of the other things this software does. The user manual is of little help in regards to basic functions i.e. actually typing in a genre name or moving a file within a collection. I spent two hours going round and round trying to get just those things to work. I went to the product website the FAQ page just restates the user guide and I cannot find any contact info which is aggravating to say the least.
Can’t scroll
I bought this app for my iPad Pro because the description said you could scroll. I especially wanted to scroll while in landscape mode. I was able to see the pdfs that I imported in landscape mode, but I could not figure out how to make it scroll. One whole page cannot fit in landscape mode, so I have to move the page up with my finger to see the bottom, and then later swipe to the next page. It looks like the rest of the program is OK, but I am not inclined to spend time learning it. I would like to get my money back, even though it was just 5 USD.
Great music reader
This app is amazing! I can have all my sheet music in one place, and it works very well with my foot pedal page turner!
Page turn speed
Is there a setting to control how fast the next page is turned? (Consider this an RFE…) I’m a new user and would really like a more instantaneous flip. Especially when learning new music. Thanks. Otherwise love what I’ve seen so far.
Great but a suggestion
Love it but would like to be able to straighten a sheet of music after I’ve saved it
100% worth paying for
Not too complicated. Good user interface. It just…works.
Super
Einziger Kritikpunkt ist, dass man Dokumente in der Bearbeitung nicht drehen kann. Sonst ist das Programm für mich perfekt.
Room for improvement
Pros: the drag and drop musical icons are good. If you need things organized by genre or key, you can add that info or other tags. Cons: I thought this would be really intuitive for making set lists and organizing music, for someone who gigs a lot and in different groups. But there are some things that slowed me down, like: 1) having to individually import each PDF from Drive/ Dropbox, rather than a folder, tho this may be a fault of Drive/ Dropbox, 2) when you create a Setlist as a “collection,” it does not put them in the order you selected, but a seemingly random order, and 3) there is no way to select all, select by date added, or other shortcuts for quickly gathering all of your music from one ensemble to create a collection. So, one can make it work with tags, but if you have a lot of music and groups, it is a big upfront investment of time. 4) doesn’t recognize Apple Pencil for annotations. This is my first app, so I don’t have much to compare it to. I’d shop around for another that doesn’t have so many cons.
Amazing App
Has been a game changer for me as a musician
Simple no nonsense music storage app
Have not used it for long, but impressed. It does what I need it to do. Store my guitar music, and allow me to set up collections for playing. A shame that I can only import pdf files (some of my documents are in Word). Overall though, highly recommended.
Great app (and great price) - but where are the folders?!?
So either this is just me unable to find folders in this app, or there genuinely aren’t any. Either way, it is disappointing and almost a deal breaker. I love the app and what you get for the price… but no folders?! The point of having an app to organise music is so that it can all be in one place - but when there is no real way to keep my different music in different places, it becomes a lot more difficult to find things. Please consider adding some form of further organisation, it would make the app much more worth-while. Also i understand there are collections, but i feel like folders would be a lot more practical for the “Music” section of the app (it would easily boost my review from 3 starts to 5).
Bluegrass
Love this App. I am constantly learning new songs weekly and I’m able to keep all of them in one place. While jamming with other musicians I can pull my phone out and set in on my knee and instantly play a new song!
No bookmark
Does almost everything you would need, only issue is that there doesn’t seem to be an option to use bookmarks, or at least it’s so hidden I can’t find it. Fine for short scores but rather irritating for longer scores like opera vocal scores.
