Pros and cons of iWriteMusic SE app for iPhone and iPad

iWriteMusic SE app good for

Hard to believe its free. Great for my little piece of crap itouch2g. Im sure there has to be a better one for iPad but this is great for the on the go bankrupt musicians. Only downside is no audio.
Perfect app for writing music, except its missing crescendos and diminuendos. Add these in and Ill change my rating.
Get he full version! I love this app. I have the iPhone version and the iPad version and they are both truly amazing! I figured entering music this way would be cumbersome, but its incredibly easy and intuitive. I cant think of a single thing that would improve it. Well done!
This as the title says, is the best tool for transposing and creating music in the App Store. It has everything. Dynamic markers, decrescendo and crescendo, accents, slurs, ties, tempo markings, a crap ton of instruments, to be played using any clef, including the obscure clefs like tenor and alto. You can transpose octaves and keys, choose repeats, first and second endings, there is no end the the tools this app provides, you can even write lyrics. There are problems, the dynamic marks dont seem to actually change volume. The app also sometimes crashes if you press certain buttons, and youll lose any stuff you did if you didnt save recently, I feel it should save every 10 minutes or so. -Connor Ewan Evans(RoboticSausage) -August 27th

Some bad moments

Very "touchy" to use. Difficult to touch the exact spot to change note values, move notes, etc. Accidental touch can really mess things up. I have spent 2 or 3 hours & have only one measure correct so far! An "Undo" feature would help considerably. Im giving up on it.
After several tries, could not get app to correctly identify notes entered.
Terrible! It would be my favorite app if it didnt crash every
1. I did have some problems with the game crashing also, but if I save my music often for some reason it doesnt happen. 2. I was trying to get the trill to work in a flute part and it wouldnt. Other than that I have not really had a problem.
Best app to have for someone who is a music composer. This is also a great learning tool!
My only problem is that you cant write double strokes and diddles
