forScore 4+

First things first. I bought an iPad 12.9” primarily for this app. The large screen makes a perfect full page view. I also have an iPad Air 2 that I use for the second screen, as it’s smaller, it gets me over a page turn, when I can switch the music to my bigger screen. I’m tempted to get a second big iPad to resolve that! Combined it with a Pageflip Dragon fly, awkward page turns are a thing of the past. Can even setup buttons to allow me to switch from 1st to 2nd part mid piece. Every time I use this application something else makes it better. For example, tonight I just split a single PDF into three separate files. I’ve been marking my pieces, and know that I have everything to hand all the time.

I highly recommend this program to the point that it’s even worth buying a new iPad and Apple Pencil just for going digital in sheet music. Seriously, it’s that good.

Update: Yep. Got a second iPad Pro 12.9 and the dual page mode is awesome

This also sets the standard for pdf readers. This app is a joy to use. i wouldn't want to be without it now. I just find it so intuitive and reliable and the interface and functionality is excellent. And each upgrade continues to keep it above the rest. ForScore is absolutely brilliant, feature rich with a great interface and has become my principle tool for anything pdf related.

It continues to be updated and the very few bugs are fixed rapidly. just look at the version history to see how frequently it is supported.

The user interface is incredibly well thought out so that all commands are within a few clicks. It is essential for a jobbing musician! Check out the manual which is available on line to see everything in detail that this brilliant app can do.

It is rock solid, i haven't needed to use paper scores since 2012. i play publicly each week using ipad and my trusty airturn bt 104 and this combination hasn't let me down once. The advantage is that you have all your scores in one place and available all the time. The metadata means they so easy to find (my library now has over 500 scores in it). I also frequently use the feature of linking music tracks to a pdf.

Many years ago, I bought a boxwave stylus for my ipad 2 and continue to use this to annotate pdfs on my ipad pro.

The developer also sets the standard in how to support a product!

This app is incredible. I highly recommend it. I am a drummer who uses charts and backing tracks for gigs. Some original and a lot of deps with function bands. This app has helped me enormously. Some features I love: able to play backing tracks and read, and can set page turns in the backing track time line to turn the page when needed (fricken awesome). Metronome and can change the panning, loads of set lists… just so good. The one thing I would like to see in an update is the ability to edit the audio, like the panning etc. I get backing tracks and sometimes the clock is on the other side to what it should be, so being able to go through and swap left and right accordingly would be great. And I wish that images JPEG/PNG were accepted as I dont think they are at the moment. Other than that it’s amazing. I thought the price was steep but then I bought it and used it and realised it was incredible.
