  This isn't very useful. I would much rather have a nice large piece of paper where I can see what's coming next to plan how to play and how to set yourself up with bowing and start off when you are ready and want to.

  Plus having to reach over to operate the phone is very awkward, having to move my cello around and put the bow down to be able to reach and pick up the phone to touch the screen in the right places to do what you need to do, and then spend a few seconds getting into position again. Sheet music just a quick flip with the left hand to change page and don't need to move the cello and get everything back in position. And can start when you want to. I haven't tried the app but if it were to start scrolling right away as soon as you press go that's no good as you may not be in position yet. Best would be if there is a time delay you can set because you know how long it takes you to be ready but all the times you're quicker than it would get annoying. Sheet music you can just play when you want to! There's lots of sites that scroll their music for you but I always print it out!

  Oh and not to mention, if you wanted to play an accompaniment - you now need two devices because one is now occupied with being sheet music! The annoyance of using a phone while playing would quadruple or worse with two phones and imagine the pain of trying to get them to synchronise! Argh!

    This looks more suited for beginners. I wouldn't use this to seriously play any sort of music or a full piece in it's entirety.

    More useful for making a copy of a physical score. I'm not sure what people do nowadays if they want to buy a sheet, but I have a few which are still in print format which this app looks useful for.

      If you have a physical score already, what use is the app? It shrinks it to a tiny screen so can only see a small part at a time, and scrolls along so if you want to play a bit slower cause it is harder or go over a bit a few times, too bad tough luck. To change anything you have to awkwardly operate a phone while trying to hold onto your instrument.

      Now if it highlighted the notes in the correct tempo I could see that being a bit useful, like a metronome. You could use it to learn the right tempo and speed and go back to the physical sheet music later. It would also be useful if it would play it like a midi file so you could hear what it was meant to sound like. Sometimes you get a new piece of sheet music which you've never heard before and it is a little weird or complicated and not knowing what it is meant to sound like is quite an obstacle. Being able to stick it in an app and hear it would be useful. But they've already said it doesn't play the music so that potential benefit is gone.

      When you make a new piece of software it should be with a problem in mind, and the piece of software solves it. This app has no problem in mind, someone just thought one day, "Wouldn't it be a fun challenge to make an app that does xyz" and they did. But it isn't really useful for anything.
