First things first. I bought an iPad 12.9 primarily for this app. The large screen makes a perfect full page view. I also have an iPad Air 2 that I use for the second screen, as its smaller, it gets me over a page turn, when I can switch the music to my bigger screen. Im tempted to get a second big iPad to resolve that! Combined it with a Pageflip Dragon fly, awkward page turns are a thing of the past. Can even setup buttons to allow me to switch from 1st to 2nd part mid piece. Every time I use this application something else makes it better. For example, tonight I just split a single PDF into three separate files. Ive been marking my pieces, and know that I have everything to hand all the time.I highly recommend this program to the point that its even worth buying a new iPad and Apple Pencil just for going digital in sheet music. Seriously, its that good.Update: Yep. Got a second iPad Pro 12.9 and the dual page mode is awesome

This also sets the standard for pdf readers. This app is a joy to use. i wouldn't want to be without it now. I just find it so intuitive and reliable and the interface and functionality is excellent. And each upgrade continues to keep it above the rest. ForScore is absolutely brilliant, feature rich with a great interface and has become my principle tool for anything pdf related. It continues to be updated and the very few bugs are fixed rapidly. just look at the version history to see how frequently it is supported. The user interface is incredibly well thought out so that all commands are within a few clicks. It is essential for a jobbing musician! Check out the manual which is available on line to see everything in detail that this brilliant app can do.It is rock solid, i haven't needed to use paper scores since 2012. i play publicly each week using ipad and my trusty airturn bt 104 and this combination hasn't let me down once. The advantage is that you have all your scores in one place and available all the time. The metadata means they so easy to find (my library now has over 500 scores in it). I also frequently use the feature of linking music tracks to a pdf.Many years ago, I bought a boxwave stylus for my ipad 2 and continue to use this to annotate pdfs on my ipad pro.The developer also sets the standard in how to support a product!

I purchased this app primarily for classical music in an orchestra but also for playing other genres. I purchased a 12.9 iPad Pro to use this app. This app has more features than anything else I have seen yet is intuitive an easy to use. It would be a 5 star review for an amazing app if it worked as promised but the bugs and lack of response for support, even for a small company, is disappointing. I even upgraded to forScore Pro in the hope that the bugs may have been addressed and to access personalised support but sadly nothing improved.The issue I am having is when using multiple layers for annotations. It doesnt seem to matter if I am using the PDF layer, Score Layers, Page Layers or a combination of these. The features work brilliantly at first allowing different details to be displayed / hidden. I use a different layer to clean up any imperfections / marks on scanned music to the layers being used for other annotations. The content of each of the different layers seem to get flattened into the single default Page Layer. Sometimes the empty layers remain in the list of layers but usually they disappear. The annotations from each of the layers are not lost but as they are merged into a single layer the different types of information can no longer be separated so it is a case of displaying / hiding all annotations or nothing. The issue with the layers sometimes happens within minutes, sometimes a day or so later and at different times for each score. Research shows that other users have experienced the same issue and several updates do not appear to have fixed this bug. I have contacted forScore support but without an acknowledgement or response.It would be a nice additional feature, once the above issue is resolved, for the links and buttons features to be part of a layer so that they could be displayed / hidden as desired.

This app is incredible. I highly recommend it. I am a drummer who uses charts and backing tracks for gigs. Some original and a lot of deps with function bands. This app has helped me enormously. Some features I love: able to play backing tracks and read, and can set page turns in the backing track time line to turn the page when needed (fricken awesome). Metronome and can change the panning, loads of set lists just so good. The one thing I would like to see in an update is the ability to edit the audio, like the panning etc. I get backing tracks and sometimes the clock is on the other side to what it should be, so being able to go through and swap left and right accordingly would be great. And I wish that images JPEG/PNG were accepted as I dont think they are at the moment. Other than that its amazing. I thought the price was steep but then I bought it and used it and realised it was incredible.
