Works most of the time with pdf music scores or with pictures. You can choose to play all voices together or only single voices (if on a separate staff). This is very useful to learn a separate voice and then exercise to sing it with all the voices. Some scores might not work well (if the quality or resolution of the score is bad) and the app sometimes misses a note, but overall I'm very satisfied.

Does a pretty good job taking a pdf and exporting musicxml as far as notes and rhythms. Don't know if it should be able to get articulation or volume changes, but it doesn't seem to. It's not too hard to correct that after the fact, though, with the right tools.

I noticed that Music Scanner doesn’t show up in the Android “Share to” menu when trying to share files (like images) from other apps. This makes importing files a bit inconvenient because the only way is to open Music Scanner manually and import from there. Most apps nowadays integrate with Android’s sharing system so users can quickly open files in the app of their choice. I think adding this feature would really improve the user experience. Hope the developer can consider this in future updat
