Comments on Orpheus Sheet Music Reader for Android
★★★★★
I like the simplicity of it, but browsing through all my stuff can be confusing. After a week I feel like the preferred method that the app is pointing me to, is to keep all the music folders disabled, and when I select songs for a set list I enable just the folders that contain the songs I'm about to use, then go to "All charts" and select the songs from there. It just seems so counter-intuitive, am I over complicating things?
★★★★★
Great way to organize practice, but I would not trust for performance. Orpheus can manage your local and Dropbox PDFs into set lists. Ordering set lists is tricky, at least on my tablet. Dropbox's synchronization is wonderful. My gripes with Orpheus are that it sometimes opens duplicate PDFs copies; it crashes periodically; sometimes it cannot open files in the set list; and page turning is sometimes unpredictable, especially when multiple PDFs have opened (Using a pedal seems more consistent.)
★★★★★
Pretty good. One item for improvement: a way to browse to my sheet music folder. I have my PDFs on Dropbox and copied locally poo n my Chromebook. I can't find a good way to get Orpheus to point to the Chromebook folder. Otherwise, it suits my needs just fine.
★★★★★
Game Changer! So easy. I use scanner to make PDFs of lead sheets. Then I email batches to myself with Gmail. Download, open Orpheus, done! Pro version for less than $8 US a year. My tablet doesn't have any ports, but Gmail works great! Thanks, Maeve!! Making and organizing set lists is super easy. Now to get 40 years of music organized! Fun!
★★☆☆☆
I would give this at least four to five stars if I would get decent support help on trying to figure out how to scan PDFs into a file folder that I can never get to work right. My experience with the tech support was minimal and reference me to a video tutorial which didn't help me in my situation.
★★☆☆☆
I loved the app at first, but during a dress rehearsal and losing all my synced files in Dropbox, not to mention all the markings I had for the performance, I was ready to give up. Then after several attempts to reload music and start over by uninstalling and reinstalling the app, reconnecting Dropbox, etc. I had it. Worthless! And no option to connect to Google Drive is also annoying. Super unstable and DO NOT RECOMMEND. I am uninstalling after this post and going with a different software.
★★☆☆☆
I just bought the pro and after loading one folder, nothing else will load. I see the files like I did the other ones, but when I choose file... nothing. I have tried over and over. Frustrated and the help section isn't any"help" I really want this to work. Used this app years ago when it was free with no problems
