My desktop got fried, so I gave the app a try. Took a couple of days to get used of not having my shortcuts I was accustomed to, but it worked fairly well. My biggest gripe is the playback and inputting for percussion. I write mainly for marching ensembles and every percussion stave playback as if it were a drum set. And inputting notes for a bass line or tenors is a nightmare! I would have to assume a large chunk of the community using the app is on a field and would need these to work properly.

Finally!!!!! 🤩🥳 I've been waiting for a mobile version of the Sibelius App for forever! I'm glad it's finally here. I've not installed it, but I have high hopes I hope it's just as good, if not better than the PC version 🤲

Been waiting for Sib Android for a while, so I was excited for this. Note input is fairly intuitive and playback is ok. No autosave, no timeline to navigate the score quickly, and formatting ability seems limited. Not sure how slurring works, and menu UIs can use some work. No startup menu. When searching files it shows all file types not just those readable by Sib. Great tool for jotting down motifs and ideas but rely on the desktop version for details. Not sure how it compares to iOS version.

Nice for notation but I can't export my files to Midi which is disappointing
★★★★★Luke Freeman· Jun 26, 2024
Delighted to find Sibelius now available on Android. Enjoying the app so far, some feedback: Dotted minims aren't entering correctly whilst notating in 3/4 time. When added to a new bar it reverts to regular minims, have to highlight the minim after and add the dot each time. Thanks

Could not open any of my sib files. It's useless at the moment. It just loops on open file window.

Did not work. I looked at the size of this app, and it said 700+mb, yet I seem to have full storage. When I looked my storage, It says I have 8gb left on storage. It was confusing at first, but I still deleted some. When I tried to go back from the bach sheet, it took me straight to my files. I tried to reinstall the app, but it says I needed 1.74gb extra space to download? I have 8gb extra space, and it's telling me this? So disappointed

Works on Galaxy S21 Ultra, it says. I think not. Can't open a new score, can't wdit existing score. Great start.....

I use Samsung note 8 with custom OS from note 9, so I have Android 10 now but here it says it's not compatible while in your description it says Android 10+

I have sibelius artist. I installed and uninstalled repeatedly. Does not seem to help. App has worked maybe a total of five minutes before permanently failing. Can only see lists of files, cannot open any of my Sib files. When reinstalled, app not asking for permission to access anything. Went in manually to grant all permissions, but does not make a difference. Very disappointing, but frankly not atypical of Sibelius's poor design. Musescore free and better.
