The unlock

What the one-time purchase adds, what the free version does, and getting the unlock back on a new device.

Available on iPad, iPhone and Mac.

Reflow is free to download, with no time limit. The unlock is one purchase, not a subscription: it opens the rest of the app, for good.

What the unlock adds

• No limits: as many tracks as the score needs, every export and print of the whole score, no watermark.
• Clips: parts of the song you name, move, repeat and join in the arranger.
• Design Mode: move systems and adjust the spacing of the page by hand.
• Style sheets: the music fonts and style presets beyond the default.
• The Studio Rack: Audio Units, instruments and effects from other apps, on each track, with sends and a master chain. On the Mac, the Studio Rack: Audio Units on each track.

The articles about these features say so under their title: Included with the unlock. A locked control shows a lock; tappingclicking it opens the unlock’s sheet on that feature.

What the free version does

Without the unlock, Reflow writes, plays and opens every score, with these limits:

• a score holds up to 2 tracks;
• an export or a print holds the first 10 bars;
• a PDF, an image or a print carries a light watermark, and the score on screen a fainter one.

Scores you wrote stay yours either way: buying changes what Reflow lets you do, never your files.

Buying the unlock

Open the unlock’s sheet:

Then Purchase Reflow, and confirm with the App Store. The price is the App Store’s, in your country’s currency, on the button. The unlock bought on an iPhone or an iPad is yours on both, with the same Apple Account.The unlock bought on a Mac is yours on your Macs, with the same Apple Account; the iPhone and iPad have their own.

Once it’s done, Reflow says Reflow Unlocked; the sheet then reads You own Reflow, and Settings Reflow Unlocked.

Restoring a purchase

On a new device, or after reinstalling Reflow, the unlock comes back from the App Store:

1. Sign in to the App Store with the Apple Account you bought it with.
2. Open the unlock’s sheet (above) and choose Restore, at its foot.
3. Reflow asks the App Store again for what you bought; the sheet then says Reflow Unlocked.

Restoring costs nothing, and never buys a second time.

If you bought Reflow before

If you bought Reflow when it was a paid app, you keep what you paid for: no watermark, no track limit, every export. Its sheet greets you with Welcome back, and Unlock the New Features adds what came after, clips, Design Mode and style sheets, for one payment.
