1. ★★★★★tabs lost due to save bug

   app glitch. i save stuff but they get automatically deleted because of an app glitch i want my money back

2. ★★★★★other

   How to use?. I can’t figure out how to use. I did a trial- forgot to cancel…. And now I have an app that I paid $66.65 for… but can’t use. If anyone from guitar tabs can reach out to me I would greatly appreciate it. Right now- I’m very frustrated and disappointed.

3. ★★★★★tabs lost due to save bug

   Deletes your tracks. It glitched and overwrote one of my tracks with an older one.

4. ★★★★★tabs lost due to save bug

   Very buggy. A very buggy app and a pain to work with even the PRO version..I will look elsewhere.

5. ★★★★★tabs lost due to save bug

   Oi. One of my tabs was deleted, this tab took me hours and hours to create. Please reply with any info

6. ★★★★★tabs lost due to save bug

   Garbage. It’s deletes your songs if you try to create new ones

7. ★★★★★tabs lost due to save bug

   The way it saves songs doesn’t work. 3 of my tabs were deleted that I’ll never get back

8. ★★★★★tabs lost due to save bug

   Garbage. Once you try to make a tab over 150 bpms the notes just become a complete mess and there is no differentiation between the sounds. They basically mold into each other. And if it doesn’t do that then the tab just doesn’t play at all. This is a terrible app.

9. ★★★★★tabs lost due to save bug

   After using for 1 day upgraded and now will not work. I downloaded the app and it worked well and had nice features. The following day I was offered the Pro version which I paid for. Since then I cannot save any tab and it is impossible to contact the developer unless you use Facebook which I don’t. So beware of upgrading.

10. ★★★★★missing techniques: hammer-on, pull-off, slide, bend

    Promising but needs a lot more. I wanted to note down a song I’m writing. The first thing I do in this song is a hammer on. I spent a great deal of time trying to determine how I could note hammer ons and pull offs. It seems you can’t. Also seems to lack a lot of other basic things such as alternate tunings other reviews mention often.

11. ★★★★★tabs lost due to save bug

    Something wrong?. Hello Yesterday I bought the application but it only allows me to make 4 tabs. It doesn't let me save and it changes the name of all the projects to the last name. What do I use? I bought this app because I found it very good and I even paid on my other iPad for the month but it the same what is wrong?

12. ★★★★★missing 7-8 string support and custom tunings

    Can’t use it unless I can change the tunings. I can’t find out if I could have an 8 string instrument in custom tuning for example. Specifically I need 4, 5,6,7,8, 10 strings - in all sorts of tunings. Ideal would be to build our own templates. There are other tunings listed which is nice, but not everyone uses the same intervals when they do open tunings. It’s a big world, not everyone plays guitar. Let us know.

13. ★★★★★missing 7-8 string support and custom tunings

    Limited. Most of what I write us in 7 or 8 strings. I don't see that functionality currently. Also being able to import existing guitar pro files would be cool

14. ★★★★★missing techniques: hammer-on, pull-off, slide, bend

    Needs Hammer-ons.... ... and Pull-offs to be useful to me, but others may like it. Not a bad start, but useless for me at this point.

15. ★★★★★other

    My Opinion for the app. This app is alright, you only get to create 6 songs and then you have to pay 18 dollars for a year or 1.49 dollars per month. You should be able to create more songs before paying. The tab maker is pretty hard to use if you don’t know what the rhythm of your song is. If you copy of paper onto the device it is a lot easier. I find it 75% difficult to use and 25% easy. This was the best tab creator I could find out of all the 8 I looked at. It fantastic compared to others, so this could be your best option.

16. ★★★★★missing 7-8 string support and custom tunings

    No 7-String option. There’s no option for 7 string guitar tab writing.. disappointing.. I would definitely pay for the full version if it had that option

17. ★★★★★limited time signatures and no mid-song tempo change

    Need more. Like the app so far, but it needs more music notation options and also let the artist add in lyrics too. So we can actually construct and hear the song in our heads. Also I wanna be able to make a whole song in one project, so I wanna be able to change the tempo of the song midway through. So far I’m only stuck with one.

18. ★★★★★ease of use and editor simplicity

    Ok. Good basic as free app but some features are not intuitive and many are upgrades

19. ★★★★★missing 7-8 string support and custom tunings

    Needs more/ custom tuning. I write a lot of my songs in alternate tunings that aren’t available on the app. If there was maybe an option to set the note on each string in the tunings section that would make it easier for me and probably everyone else who uses any alternate tuning

20. ★★★★★other

    Ok app. Needs a couple of things to be great.. Functionally it’s fine, but it’s missing a couple of things. I really need to be able to notate verse and chorus. Also please 1st and 2nd ending options. Adding bar numbers would also be very welcome. It’s so close to being great. Keep updating!

21. ★★★★★tabs lost due to save bug

    Literally lost like 4 songs. The save feature keeps bugging out and I lose entire songs that took me mad long to prepare... it’s such a hassle bc I need these tabs out by the end of the week for my band now I have another hour of work to do, Please fix this bug👍🏼 but otherwise works great, I’d like to see a feature for harmonics/Pinch Harmonics.

22. ★★★★★tabs lost due to save bug

    Disappointing. Buggy. UPDATE: Author very responsive. Helped immediately!. Disappointing. Promising features but very buggy. Had a problem with app confirming a file save when it had not. Contacted author and he was very responsive and he messaged back and forth with me until we had a solution. Turned out to be a coding issue with including a “/“ in the composer field. Author promises fix in next update. I am very encouraged that the app author was so responsive.

23. ★★★★★missing 7-8 string support and custom tunings

    Love it so far. More strings possibly?. It would be cool to not be limited to 6 strings. I’d even pay more. Just an option to add an extra line or two, people are writing with extended range guitars now (7s, 8s, and 9s... even 10s now). Please please please??🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂

24. ★★★★★other

    Needs.... Needs ability to change volume per notes. Needs ability to play multiple tracks. Needs more instruments.

25. ★★★★★other

    Super Flipping Awesome. But it would be cool if you could be able to make Drum tabs. That would be one wish if that could happen any time soon

26. ★★★★★limited time signatures and no mid-song tempo change

    It’s okay. There is so much missing there is no dots, yes there is ties, however sometimes you might not want to write it that way. Another thing is that you can only have one instrument playing on one thing I would like to see an option on the top to switch instruments, having multiple, and being able to hear them all at once. Another good thing to have would be is more time signatures for instance i needed 6/8 but it wasn’t there, as well as being able to have a percentage of the tempo so you can slowly build up to it, for instance 50% of 110bpm. The list goes on and on, but I think you get the idea there needs to be a lot more put into this for it to be considered perfect.

27. ★★★★★missing 7-8 string support and custom tunings

    Great but keep adding things for us to use. I love the app. It works great, but I’d love to see functions that allow chords over the tab. The option to write introduction notes about the song like what track number on the album or if there is a certain way one should be playing the piece. I’d also love more tuning options or a custom tuning option where you can type in the notes for each string. AND CAPOS! Songwriters use capos all the time. We absolutely need a function for that! Overall though great. I give it 4 stars. If you keep adding to this app, it will earn 5 stars, and it will reach more and more guitar players to use for their personal tabbing template. I have good faith in that.

28. ★★★★★missing techniques: hammer-on, pull-off, slide, bend

    Missing notations. Would be great if you could add notation for slides, quarter and half bends. Also an ability to mark bar repeats.

29. ★★★★★other

    Useful…but…. For basic tab writing this app is good. I’ve seen that for dotted notes you have to use spaces and slurs but, despite buying the premium version, I can see no way of marking first time and second time bars, codas etc. Am I missing something or expecting too much?

30. ★★★★★missing 7-8 string support and custom tunings

    Works well but limited. Excellent app, just a shame there's no tunings available below drop D for bass and no 5 string. I play in BEADG, ADGCF, AEAED, GCGCF etc and can't really use this app
