What GlowNotes stores

GlowNotes stores imported charts in the app's local library. Scanned charts include the original image supplied by the scanner and a black-and-white reading copy.

Camera and scanned charts

In Local Intake, Scan recovers pending scan pages first; if there are none, it can open Apple's document scanner to capture charts with the camera on supported iPads. Scanning your own music requires GlowNotes Pro. GlowNotes processes captured chart images on the device and stores the original image supplied by the scanner and a black-and-white reading copy in local app storage for review.

Microphone and the tuner

The tuner listens through the microphone only while you have it turned on, to show the pitch you play or sing. GlowNotes asks for the microphone the first time you turn the tuner on. The sound is analysed on the device; it is not recorded, stored, or sent anywhere.

Subscription

GlowNotes offers one monthly subscription, GlowNotes Pro (US $4.99 a month to start), bought through Apple's In-App Purchase system under your Apple Account. GlowNotes stores subscription status and verification information locally, including product and transaction identifiers, verification time and source, and applicable expiration or revocation information. The demo charts included in GlowNotes are free to open, page, zoom, and annotate. Importing your own music and the other features require GlowNotes Pro. The subscription is tied to your Apple Account and can be restored on another iPad with Restore Purchases.

Files you open

When you open a PDF, MusicXML, MXL, PNG, JPEG, GIF, or WebP file from the Files app, GlowNotes copies it into its own storage on your device and shows it to you for review before it is added to your library. You are responsible for having the right to use the music you import; the GlowNotes Terms say more.

Network use

GlowNotes uses Apple's StoreKit to look up subscription products, make purchases, and restore purchases.

Your choices

Delete the app to remove everything GlowNotes stored on your iPad. Your subscription stays with your Apple Account; manage or cancel it in your Apple Account's Subscriptions settings.

Children

GlowNotes is intended for parish musicians and is not directed at children.

Temporary scan storage

GlowNotes temporarily saves captured scan images on the device while adding them to local app storage. It removes a temporary scan image after checking that the original has been saved correctly in local app storage.
