Very scummy. Flat used to be great when I was poor. Tons of instruments, worked wonderfully. It sparked my love for composition. Now, they’ve locked almost everything behind a subscription, features that were once free for everyone. I can afford it now, but I refuse to subscribe. Stripping free users of basic tools instead of adding real pro features shows utter contempt for users. EDIT: "nothing is taken away" Not true. Banjo, Marimba, CHOIR OOHS/AHHs (+the rest) all used to be free. Why lie?

Flat has been sustainable for over a decade thanks to our premium plan. Free users retain all their original features, ensuring nothing is taken away. All free users registered before May 2020 have access to Banjo and other mentioned instruments. Premium members enjoy over 150 instruments and exclusive advanced features that we continually enhance.

It's a shame that I have to use this app for school, because it's awful. Most of the time, I'm unable to sign in. Recently, playback hasn't been working properly either. Muted notes play back unmuted, for instance. Swing doesn't work in playback either. All of my attempts to reach out to customer support have failed.

The guitar parts don't play well on the bending. You can only have 15 music scores on the free version of the app. :(. It's okay for what it is. Edit: would be cool if I could write guitar pieces similar in complexity to the scores and tabs available in the Hal Leonard Guitar Recorded Versions. Also, if I could write with the strings in any different tuning. Lastly if I could write complex Harmonics and artificial harmonics like play them and bend behind the nut to get an open harmonic bending.
