Is there any interest in porting MobileSheets to Win8? I am interested in getting a Win8 tablet, but I rely on MobileSheets so much. And I'm just in a church choir .

I also would LOVE this :) I have an android tablet I currently use but I have been trying to decide between windows 8 tablet and iPAD now hopefully I can stay with a Windows Tablet :) I would love to help test the app when you are working on it.

I haven't tested MusicReader on Windows 8 myself, so I hope I'm not speaking out of line, but I doubt they have full support for all of the gestures and such that the Windows 8 tablets support. It probably also won't act like an app that was written with Windows 8 in mind (it won't have proper tiles on the start screen, won't be available through the Microsoft store, etc). Has anyone tried Musicreader on a Windows 8 tablet yet?

There already exists a windows app for sheet music, musicreader
http://www.musicreader.net/
I haven't tested it because I am happy with my android tablet and MobileSheets so far.
They say they also develop an android app, but nothing until now - and it will be hard to beat Mobilesheets

Musicreader would work, but you are right it doesn't have touch support so it only works in desktop mode and isn't as easy as it would be to use mouse and keyboard to run it... that being said, Musicreader is a ugly unintuitve interface that doesn't have nearly as nice of features as Mobilesheets hence why I only use my android tablet for sheet music and use Mobilesheets haha...
