Scam. The subscription claimed a 7 day free trial. That trial should end september 16. On september 14, it paid me, so it gave me the wrong date, so i would pay for it, and it didn't even give me the full trial. I would recommend an app called "flat." It has more free and pais features and is a better app.

Edit: Problem solved! The low pitch of accompaniment was due to not transposing. I thought transposing the staff transposes notes, but it didn't. Transposing notes did the trick. Old review follows: Pretty good! I like that I can compose with multiple instruments and export the final composition as PDF (score) and WAV (audio) to both read and listen! UI is quite friendly and easy to learn. Very much satisfied. Great work!

I love the app, it's super easy to navigate though, it's nice to be able to write music when ever I can on my phone, and I love it's simplicity, but for me one thing is missing, I'm not seeing the crazy things lile left hand pizzacato marking, and some other crazy stuff, but otherwise this app is super good, adds are basically minimal, and you can hear the notes when you place them to know if you put the correct note.
