MobileSheets

I've been using MobileSheets in professional performance for maybe two years now, ever since giving up on my tiny iPad in favor of a larger screened Android tablet (before the Pro was a thing). It's not as pretty or intuitive as Forscore, but it does everything a music reader needs to do - crop, bookmark, separate larger PDF collections into individual songs, setlists, good library organization, bt foot pedal support, half page turns, and good annotation tools. The release of this for Windows was the tipping point to upgrading to a surface book as well and I'm very happy with this set up. I have my entire library in a screen that's basically the same size as the paper music. Update: I've used this in rehearsal for the first time last night, and I was less impressed. I'm running it on a core i5 Surfacebook and it is laggy and glitchy compared to my much older HP Pro Slate 12 (Android). Hopefully the windows performance catches up to the Android app.

I love this app, I'm a cellist, and have loaded a ton of music into this. The only problem, is sometimes it won't open unless I have an Internet connection. What happens if I am at a gig and can't get an internet signal and can't get my music to show up? Please fix this bug! Otherwise, it is perfect.

I have used an android version for years works great, love it, 5stars! , Got a larger screen windows tablet and thought i would try the windows version. Epic failure 1st time I try to use this because it fails to load unless you have a wifi connection! First they said it was a bug in windows, then that i had changed file permissions (which i hadn't and this was installed on a brand new computer only 3 days old) I was able to recreate the problem just by turning off wifi however over the last week i have not been able to duplicate the problem and it has seamed to have vanished. Perhaps it is some part of activating the app with the app store (requiring the app store to be online) because i found events "Activation of app 41730Zubersoft.MobileSheets_ys1c8ct2g6ypr!App failed with error: Unknown HResult Error code: 0x803f9008 ." at the same time. Perhaps the app was finally activated with out error?? Who knows but at least i can report i can't duplicate the problem any longer.

I have been using another program for my music, but it was cumbersome and just didn't work smoothly. Then I came across MobileSheets, bought it (great price!), then installed it. Do I like it? Well, I uninstalled my old reader program and now exclusively use MobileSheets. Support is wonderful also. I had a question before purchase and it was answered quickly. I sent an email 10:30 at night and I had a response by the next morning. Great program.

Pros: - functionally comparable for forScore - intuitive - gesture shortcuts on different sections of the screen - love that you can add links (for DC al Coda, DC al fine, etc.) - generally a great music reading and score reading app Cons: - somewhat buggy with Google Drive imports - autocrop is not entirely reliable, aggressive autocrop is way too aggressive - can't use a horizontal scroll method for single or multiple staves My other gripes are just because my device does not have a 3:2 aspect ratio nor does it have a surface pen/Wacom digitizer. In general, fantastic music reading app for Windows.

I bought a large android tablet just to use MobileSheets a few years ago and it was great but the hardware choices were somewhat limited and things ran sorta slow. I tried other Windows sheet music programs but couldn't handle the limitations or problems they had. This new version is just in beta, but it's already way more usable for me than anything else I've tried. It imported my 1700+ multi-page PDFs perfectly. It's actually fast enough (even with my 600dpi and color files) and definitely worth more than what I paid. Thanx Zubersoft!
