Whenever my band teaches doesn t assign a whole song it constantly crashes and switches to practice mode which doesn t let you submit a score Also there is no way to get rid of the green thing that goes on the notes even though it s frequently incorrect Please fix         Fraction song fail Jedndjdjjs
Great way to learn music Fast and easy to work with Perfect for middle school                     SmartMusic Speed Ball 1892
Not worth the money     Crashes whenever I open a certain assignment on any device AZakerReader
This app is just so very disappointing For class I have to use this program for homework On the assignments it says that I either didn t play the notes or just played a wrong note For what it s worth I would not recommend this app         Severely disappointed Super XD lol
Smart music has a wide variety of songs to play try out My music teacher uses this app and I have tried out a few myself The only problem I have is that it can t detect the right notes A majority of my friends who use this reported the same problem When I would play it would say I played the wrong notes I even showed this to my music teacher and he said it was the right notes I was playing Overall it is an okay app but I feel that it is not worth it For the price you pay on the subscription you should expect something better and it probably isn t here         Bad sound detection Dooferdan12
For faster tempos please add a bit of push back As in if I play a note at the same time it lands then once it registers if pushes back a second for the time lost in registering the note                 Timing Savage_Slays
There is no need to buy this app only if you are required to don t touch it     Horrible BandGeek2223
This app is really really terrible and it doesn t even pick up the sounds the right way     This app is bad Gamer 7733310
Screen is blank on assignments that are given to me by my teacher When using on my computer I can t find the right starting pitch for my voice I m failing my class because of this worthless program     Doesn t work Binary vision
I love the concept I m an educator and have been using Smartmusic forever I still like the PC version better than the iPad It s easier to navigate and more accurate I don t do any assignments from the iPad I wish there were still a grade book available on iPad The app still needs some improvements but I live the concepts and my students really enjoy the the instant feedback and self motivation                 Great concept Lloollyy
As with most apps SmartMusic has a few faults Occasionally it will not give me my teachers assignments and sometimes it will boot me off but it is mostly good I wish it had a few more songs such as The Tempest and Arabian Dream but it s really good Maybe 20 would be a better price though                 Great App some Faults Complainant box
I love that SmartMusic gives me access to such a vast library of music even if it is mostly modern arrangements I love that I get to play with a band even when I m by myself I love it on the PC that is not this app With the speakers at maximum volume I hear the starting metronome clicks painfully loud but barely hear the band That would be bearable if not for the horrid awful terrible misleading green bar that is supposed to give me a visual indication of the beat you know like the conductor we would have in a real band but it is always a fraction of a beat behind sometimes more than a full beat behind in a fast tempo The only way to stay on beat is to close my eyes to tune out the green bar but then I can t see the notes This is true on the PC version too but more bearable because I can crank up the volume of the accompaniment and hear the beat Much as it pains me I can t recommend this app and I suggest that music teachers stop requiring it It only teaches the bad habit of racing ahead of the conducted beat             Great concept poorly executed Window plus
Every time I switch parts in a song the app crashes Possibly the worst app I ve ever used The app always has some sort of glitch every time I use it If I could stop using the app I would         Crashing and glitches Just want to practice my music
Just as the title says this is a load of crap don t pick up obvious notes and make your life miserable just use the PC version     Load of crap wirkungstreffer
I did a perfect take but because this version of the app INSISTS on kicking me to practice mode EVERY time I don t get to turn in that take and I can t play it again to save my life Getting a good score on SmartMusic already makes me furious at this point I m losing my mind And I don t have a choice but to use this I hate you SmartMusic     NO No no NO PagesWiz
I was very happy using the pc version for several years Really disappointed in the lack of features the ipad version in comparison I don t expect any feature updates since they have come up with a new delivery model but it s not geared to the hobbiest I don t have room in my practice space for a cause an9y longer Not sure if I m going to renew             Disappointed Gramkrakker
Freezes up a lot metronome changes speeds randomly doesn t pick up what you re playing sometimes leaves you very frustrated             Needs some work marchandw
I tried playing the bell kit and it said I wasn t playing at all This annoys me a lot please fix it                 Problem with some instruments Good game and really fun
This app should be called ShitMusic Not only does the green prompt lag but the sound recognition software is garbage Will say right notes are wrong will ding you if you are 0 000000000001 seconds early or late Worst app ever made Only have it because forced to AVOID THIS CRAP IF YOU CAN     WRITTEN BY MONKEYS NEEDS TO BURN IN HELL Sagittericus
Doesn t pick up half of the notes that I play also the little green bar that moves across the measures is inaccurate and is basically a constant distraction while your playing The entire app is just very frustrating 40 dollar subscription is over priced for how broken this app is Servers are slow and this week completely broken I would not recommend anybody use this ever     Frustrating and broken Guest9001
1 star for navigation 1 star for affectiveness Honestly not as bad as these people think I agree that there needs to be updates but honestly this app helps me do my band homework Crashes but not that frequently         Not as bad as people think Could be better 👤Emilee Sousa
Smart music by far is the worst app for instruments When anyone plays it says the note is wrong on the note Fix the app or just ban it because it s horrible Btw if there were negative stars I would give it negative 5     Smart music needs to be banned MAXSEPU
This is the worst app ever if I could rate it 0 stars I would     Do not ever buy this app DO NOT EVER BUY THIS APP
Have had smart music forever but app has been having many many issues on my iPad don t use pc much anymore so not sure how it works but license issues on songs I already downloaded and shuts down a lot on its own Have to open 2 or 3 times often just to get it to stay open Hope they resolve some of this soon and add more titles         Not sur if I want to renew subscription Salazar23
I love it but after you submit an assignment you can not play it again                     Nice Dolphinomusic828
Content is good but it keeps crashing during assignments Please fix asap         Keeps Crashing aeaeyao
The have beautiful costumer service                     Customer service 2b7839
Still a little slow and I find it hard to navigate and find certain pieces But it s getting a lot better             Love that this is on iPad still needs some work HamndChs
I use this app daily when I practice I love the Arban s Method As are returning trumpet player I needed a tool that gave feedback and this one is great My wife and friends have noticed a marked improvement in my tone and timing I wish it could grade dynamics but listening to my playing helps                     I love this app yorel ronim
I m a high school student who has used SmartMusic for three years now This program is very useful for sight reading and assignments and it works great on the computer But this app is a living nightmare It crashes constantly it takes fifteen minutes to load it refuses to open certain assignments at all On the computer it is fine but on my iPad it barely works at all I wouldn t even call it an app It s more of a waste of my screen and storage space and serial killer of my time     Good program terrible app Kk D
It s great for school use a d a great system to learn music                     Great Erlis Galeas
It should be SmartAssMusic instead of SmartMusic cause you ll play a note and it has a 5 chance of picking up the note     This program can t pick up any reasonable notes Rebelx01
Good examples demonstrations and play back Additional manual controls excellent musical advancement tool                     Great teacher aid Kicker end
The only complaints that I have about the app is that it only goes to 280 bpm but others than that I have been happy with the app occasionally I have to restart my iPad because it is older and is a bit slower to submit but not very often Yes I know there are some reviews saying that it does not pick up low notes I agree but the desktop version works if you have a low instrument for me my trombone is fine on my iPad Hope this helps                     Great 91837492837399
I had a lot of faith in the app It was going to help me improve on my instrument and allow my teacher to make assignments and listen without taking up class time The problems I have are many I play a bassoon and the low notes are rarely picked up causing unnecessary stress as I attempt to get a higher score on my assignments The practice time for practice cards isn t properly recorded forcing me to practice well beyond the time assigned which I m ok with but not when that added time still isn t recorded and causes me to get a lower grade The app is a great idea but the lack of attention to dynamics and style markings only enforces and engravings bad habits in my fellow students This app is a great idea but the application has much more to be desired         Doesn t meet expectations TheKingCorgi
Tries to open an assignment says the accompaniment can t loaded Tries to open an another assignment says it couldn t be initialized How about you try to actually test the software before putting it out there I m going to be using the desktop version instead thanks     Doesn t work 1230james
I would say that this is the best music app ever I use it in school and home so I can improve so much I would highly appreciate though if you could make your app Bluetooth compatible so I can play the music on my ihome Usually when I play I can t hear the music over my violin so it would greatly help Thanks                     Best music learning app a few suggestion sdfsadfsdafdsafsdafdsf
this app is terrible It does not even deserve one star but I could not go lower This app does not follow the music The bar skips over often 3 measures at a time It also cannot hear or interpret you half time If you get one note wrong it automatically deducts 7 away     Aweful App
You need to change app icon title to Smartmusic It is now60     Smartmusic NOT 60
Cant wait for them to improve this I am a music teacher and I find it very helpful to use this app on my ipad for students to work on their solo pieces with accompaniment however there are many flaws There is no click count off option unless you have the click on the whole time The follow me feature seems like it changes tempo wildly I would often just turn off this feature and keep the tempo steady except them you cant start the piece right without no count off There are several other things that I cant do on this that I can do on the desktop versionthat make it difficult to use I am anxiously awaiting updates and improvements        Needs work
This app is an okay substitute for the desktop version but not good enough For example I use this app for music assignments and I am unable to see my grade for the assignment after my teacher has graded it Along with that there is no way to change the microphone settings in contrast to the desktop version In general a mediocre app           Meh
Costs way too much money for a subscription and no one need s thisthis        Bad app
This is a really cool app I just have a few things to suggest First you should make it so you dont need to tap on the open button for a song you can just tap anywhere in the box of the song Also there should be an option not to save takes because they take a lot of memory on my iPad Other then that I like the app just fine I think it has a lot of potential              Decent App
This app is okbut now I get really low scores on everythingand I asked other kids and they had the same problemplease fix           Not as good as it used to be
This app isnt bad my band teacher uses it every year but the takes takeno pun intended so much space and it takes FOREVER to load the piece of music so It isnt too bad           Meh
I use this app for school and its pretty good most of the time It might be a pain in the butt sometimes but that doesnt mean its a bad app Its actually a really cool app and I think it makes you a better player The only suggestion I would have is adding a pen or some form of writing utensil to be able to write on the music and write notes for yourself This would make the app easier for me to use as it is something many musicians do in everyday life with their paper music Thanks              pretty fabulous
I assigned a sighting assignment to my class but on the iPad app it does not give them time to study the music before beginning On the desktop program it allows them to study but the iPad app does not           Sight Reading is not Working
Smart Music would have occasional crashes with previous version but the newest update 15 is terrible While I appreciate the new look every time I attempt to submit a recording the app crashes When I try reopening the app to rerecord and submit again the program will not allow me to leave practice mode     New update Aesthetically pleasing functionally not
program crashes on launch iPad 4     whats wrong with this
The app is not as good as the desktop version It gets really annoying to when you are trying to play and you are one billionth of a second wrong so you get points off for that I never get my notes from my teacher too You also should be able to upload music to practice your music on there           Okay
Smartmusic gave me nightmares and drove me to attempt suicide multiple times Also gave me cancer and erectile dysfunction Now Im addicted to crank and my family hates me Thanks smartmusic     Warning Product is trash
Latest update wont open Keeps crashing Help     Crashing
When I am forced to attempt to use this app because Smartmusic on my computer isnt working which unfortunately is often I am unable to get anything done Why It doesnt work When I manage to log in instead of getting an error message and access my assignments I can start a take just fine It just doesnt record At all With the microphone in it doesnt play the music or record and with it out it doesnt record Basically if the computer Smartmusic doesnt work I am screwed     Doesnt work
My husband and I are music educators who already use Smart Music through school We just purchased a brand new iPad to be able to place directly on the music stand and beautiful Bose wireless Bluetooth speakers to use Smart Music with our private studio students We are devastated to find out that Smart Music will not connect to the speakers We called SmartMusic and they told us that it is an Apple problem because Apple has to directly approve the apps for iPad Whoevers problem this isplease fix itthis is devastating Really disappointed        Doesnt Play Through Bluetooth Wireless Speakers
Still issues with it crashing especially after an assignment is submitted I have tried the reset and reinstalling still doesnt work           GreatWhen it decides to work
This company refuses to update its Premier software Finale for iPad Instead it chooses to milk music students and the people who teach them and pulls Finale off from iTunes because it decides that updating from the previous iOS was not productive Congratulations jerks next upgrade cycle Im switching to Sibelius And I hate Avid     This company refuses to update its Premier software Finale for iPad
Smartmusic on my computer has been great i was able to turn stuff in and get an A in my class Now ever since an update my computer one doesnt want to work and on my ipad when i switch to my other instrument on an assignment the assignment will not show up Please fix this my grade is dropping     You got stuff to fix
Very useful app My school band uses it and it is a way for the teacher to see kids progress I saw an earlier comment that said that they had to practice at home because of this app but you should practice at home anyways Big thumbs up 1010 5 stars Some glitches though it took like 5 minutes to submit one of my assignments                
Thanks to this stupid app I now have to bring my instrument home and practice I hate this If I lose my 40 it will be thanks to Smartmusic     Made me have to practice for band
Thank you so much for creating this app My daughter plays the flute and SmartMusic helps her in so many ways Only one questioncomplaint I cant seem to see any way to load and run our own musictest files created from Finale Overall great job Love it                 Great App Thank you
It is terrible crashes says you play wrong when its correct BOOOOOO HIIIIISSSSS     I hate it so bloody much
So glad that you finally added access to all solos on the iPad version Now I have a complaint why dont you support Air Play I would love to be able to play the accompaniment through our new Bose home speaker system which is supported by iTunes           Air Play support
I can finally practice very effectively and productively Amazing app                 PERFECT
i really like the app and it works really well but there are only two pop songs a green day song and we are young by fun           great app bad music
Cant play accompaniment via Bluetooth speaker Why not        No Bluetooth support
App needs updatedkeeps shutting down           Help
I gave the app a 2 for how it is working with my students Our school has a 1 to 1 iPad program Perfect for this app right I spent the budget money for individual student subscriptions with 11 students 6 of the 12 have had issues connecting the app with the internet at home the purpose of the app I have resorted to taking class time to do assessments at school Practice reports home assessments are useless because app requires a constant wifi connection Slow screen redraws stalled app wasted time I will NOT get individual subscriptions again until SmartMusic includes an airplane mode for home assessment recordings BEWAREthe app only works when the wifi connection is perfect In real life student wifi connections if they have them are everything from Comcast to ATT to Wowway        Student subscription iPad app needs airplane mode
This is a great app to use for music My teacher assigned it to me to use for concert band It is really helpful You can even record yourself playing the music and it corrects you if youre wrong Awesome app Great way to start music                 Best music app ever
Its ok but the assignments my teacher as given me dont even show up It says I need to enroll in the class but obviously Please fix ASAP     Fix please
literally the bane of my existence     ugh
Its just horrible it doesnt pick up lots of notes I just hate it        NO
App was great until recently It now takes 45 attempts to open app without crashing Please fix     App constantly crashes
I had to go through this horrible app for a whole year for band waster of money and time     Horrible
Up above thus     I cant even download it screw you guys
It doesnt load    
Something is wrong with this last upgrade When my son is trying to do site reading it no longer gives home time before he has to start playing to review the music This makes the app kind of useless I guess with can use the first time as a practice and the second time as the actual lesson in site reading We liked the app up until now and had recommended it to many friends Hopefully this gets fixed soon        Broken
Works well most of the time but it keeps crashing when I try to open one assignment and it wont let me submit it Please fix              Ok most of time
Do not set up to automatically review this service The customer service part of the website is terrible so there is not way to contact them except through your account and if there are problems with account you have to call during very narrow hours     VERY DIFFICULT CUSTOMER SERVICE
Since July update app constantly crashes     Corrupt app
This app is terrible To practice 10 minutes it will take you half an hour because the app is crap Id give it negative stars if I could Horrible Do not waste your money     Ruined my love for music
The app icon title is 60 plz fix           App title
Works when it wants not good for my grades        VERY BUGGY
I love it it helps so much My music teacher recommends it                 Awesome
In the full PC version of smart music there was a really accurate tuner That is not on this iPad version              Missing a few features
This app is a total rip off this app doesnt do the basics of what it should be able to do Think again before getting this app its a waste of money for buying a subscription     TERRIBLE
The app itself is pretty good but the builtin speaker on the iPad is not good or loud enough for it to be used effectively MakeMusic needs to update the app to make it compatible with external Bluetooth speakers That would really make this a great tool for educators and students           Bluetooth Compatibilty
This app is useless to me without the ability to run through a Bluetooth speaker Makes me furious that with all of the amazing things this app can do you cant add this one basic feature after all if this time     Needs Bluetooth support
