GuitarTab - Tabs & chords Pro Reviews

by Artfoundry

This might be a great app if it weren't for the fact that the UI is horrid. Buttons don't always respond, no way to get rid of the keyboard when you tap in the search field other than to perform a search, and GuitarTab crashes all the time.
This is on an iPhone X with iOS 12.0.1

GuitarTab has several flaws. First, the editor is extremely frustrating to use (cursor is difficult or impossible to place where you want it, and it jumps offscreen if you’re editing near the bottom so you can’t see your edits). Second, edited version of your tab is available only on the device where you did the editing; it won’t synch to other devices. Third, tabs that you have edited may simply disappear. I spent several hours editing tabs this afternoon, and when I came back later, all of those tabs were gone. I want my money and wasted time back.

Update: restarting app temporary fixes it

Please update/fix. Object error opening guitarpro favorites, iPad Air 4 Other than this hopefully temporary issue this is essentially the best app.

I loved GuitarTab until I paid 299 hoping for the transposition function. Now when I select a song form my favorites it comes up instead of Being in the key it’ll be either +4 minus seven or whatever it seems rather random. The other problem is I’ll bring up a song and it’ll have a completely different song under that title. For example I brought up bringing in the sheaves and instead of that being what was printed out it was he’s got the whole world. So it’s usable but I don’t love it I only like it and only part of the time

GuitarTab is very good with chords AND tabs, but doesn’t have some of my favorite songs, and some songs only have around 12 tabs, and the chords are too spread out, but the outcome is DEFINITELY worth it.

Over my maybe three years of playing guitar GuitarTab has helped me the most. this app has helped me so much I owe most of my guitar playing to them. Whoever started GuitarTab. Bless you

I've used this app for just a few weeks, works as advertised. Great for setting up multiple set lists (playlists) and for those songs not found I save them to my Dropbox account and roll them in. The only thing I haven’t figured out is how to access my favorites or playlists while offline, some show up others don’t? I’ve now been using the paid version for quite awhile on my iPad and Kindle.

I can always find something in your app that interests me and makes me want to pass it on to my guitar and uke students. Thank you for the inspiration ..!

If you're someone who just started learning that nuances of guitar, GuitarTab is a must have for you. It has incredible detail in refining your guitar playing skills. Please do yourself a favor and download GuitarTab.

Great app right off the bat!! It didn’t miss a single song even Latin songs!!! If you are a beginner it shows what the different chords are!! Really great app I really recommend!🥳

by Dynamite Guy

This is my favorite guitar app. It’s very rare that GuitarTab doesn’t have tabs and chords for a song. The free version is fantastic but spending $5 for the pro version was the best $5 I ever spent. Any tabs I find that I like, I can print them and carry them around. Easy to transpose songs to other keys. Change the tempos of tabs. It’s wonderful. You can save your favorite tabs and chord sheets super easily. Don’t waste anymore time looking for another tablature and guitar chord app because this is the best one by far. It will show you chord diagrams for chords too which is awesome. If you are a avid guitar player or plan on being one, spend the $5 on the pro version. The stuff GuitarTab offers you is worth 5 times that! Couldn’t recommend it more.

I used to carry around a stack of lyrics wherever I planned to do some playing and singing. Now I use this app. It's exactly what I needed. It gives me flexibility because it lets me have access to so many more lyrics than my curled up coffee-stained stack.

I can not read music nor play cords very well. I can read and understand tab music, this site works great for me. I find most of what I like and want. Highly recommend it for any level of guitar knowledge you might have.

GuitarTab is great for guitar, but is there any way that a bass pro version could be made? As far as I can tell, there is no auto play version of tabs, so if you are trying to learn a new song, and that makes it really difficult to feel the rhythm out.

I have been playing guitar for almost a full year now. Never took any lessons, but decided to teach myself chords. I was stuck playing the same songs over and over. GuitarTab is really helping me feel more comfortable with both trying new songs and using tabs. Now, I can play anything I want.

by God & Guitars

This is the Best app ever. The amount of songs in their catalog is endless. So far anything and I mean everything that I have ever searched for I have found. This is so much better than all of the other guitar apps that are out there. If you download GuitarTab your fingers are going to thank you. Rock On Peeps.

I absolutely love GuitarTab!! I don’t rate apps much on here, but I wanted to on GuitarTab because it has helped me out so much on learning new songs on the guitar. I don’t know how to read tablature but GuitarTab has the regular chords on it showing you how to play it. Basically, if ya want an app that teaches you how to play songs that you grew up with, than this is the one!

by Fan Of RC

I'm just starting out learning guitar and GuitarTab is my go-to for learning to play all types of songs. There are so many to choose from which makes finding the song I want really easy. What makes it even better is that many have both guitar and bass tabs. So a bass player can play a song

by JoshTh3Legend

Thank you so much!!! It’s so amazing to finally see an app that allows us to get good and accurate music for free!!! I’ve had 0 problems with GuitarTab even though the interface could be slightly improved. Other than that GuitarTab IS PERFECT!

I’ve been playing guitar for 30 plus years, and recently bought a bass. I paid for the full version, which allows you to transpose, print, edit tabs, submit your own, and the list goes on. Many different genres of music, even (ugh) country. Excellent app, best I have found since OLGA. Keep it up team, you got a good thing here!
