Used to be a great app
It would seem as though the developers have abandoned this app.
There have been no updates in about 2 years. The browser doesn't run as well as it used to. It is very slow.
Save your money for an app that will be supported in the future - and that runs well on IOS 9.
I've given it 3 stars because the tab player still seems to work well. However, getting new tabs is difficult due to the extremely slow browser. Please update it.

Very Slow
Paid lots for this app and is very slow to search and download songs ... very disappointing ... not worth it.
Good app. Tab DL broken
I've used this app for years and it was an amazing app worth 5 stars and the price, but the dl browser is broken. Keeps saving random junk/ gibberish files constantly on any search engine and sites are incredibly slow to load. The actual program is good and previously could find any tab online easily (please fix this and return this app to its former 5 star glory).
Sound is as good as any comparable program, touch controls are well done, can auto detect and save text tabs which is a brilliant feature and has many adjustment features for the player tab files. It is very comparable and very reminiscent to GP programs ive used through the years though has the failing of not being able to edit or create tabs.

Pretty cool app so far
I have guitar pro 6 on my desktop, and also have the guitar pro app, which I gave a positive review.
This app, tabtoolkit is a pretty nice app. It's a player. It has its own tab store, but it will also play any of my guitar pro files. I load them in via Dropbox. Compared to the guitar pro app it holds up quite nicely, and has more realistic sounds overall than the guitar pro app. It also looks nicer.
One of the weaknesses I've found is with tremolo strumming. It "ignores" it, and just plays the notes regularly.
The company itself must be pretty busy, I wrote with a question about tabtoolkit working with the iRig HD and didn't get a response.
But so far so good. I hope they fix the tremolo strumming on both single notes and chords.
One nice feature is with the drum tracks, you can watch the drum kit as its being played. Also, I love the slow down "wheel" 1 percent increments. A very useful feature.

A great app for viewing guitar pro tabs
NOTE TO READERS: YOU CAN ADD FREE TABS EITHER WITH A COMPUTER OR WITHIN THE APP ITSELF!
I installed this app on an iPad 1, which I intend to use as an electronic music book. The app was attractive to me because it can display and play gpx files, but was almost half the price of guitar pro’s own app. As I have no intention of editing tabs from my iPad (far too fiddly), I decided to try the cheaper option. Files open quickly (both on the iPad and my iPhone 5s) and the interface is intuitive, if not idiot-proof (see the 1* reviews of the current version for details).
I added about 40 of my own (FREE) guitar pro files by selecting ‘download’ in the app and pointing my computer’s web browser to the ip address displayed on the iPad’s screen. This brought up a simple to use interface in my computer’s web browser that allows you to add both guitar pro and text files. Transfer was quick and painless, and seems to work provided you can follow simple written instructions (i.e. be on the same wireless network and don’t navigate away from the download screen on the iPad until upload completes). I have not tested adding tabs inside the app itself, but it appears to operate as a normal web browser (mine brings up google).
In summary - a neat app for viewing and playing guitar pro files on the move.

Terrible
This app is awful. Only has a handful of songs. You can upload a few of the more popular songs to work with. More of the underground artist where you cannot find tabs online it will just say error or could not be found. Any song you want music or tab for you have to pay an additional fee for (around $2 a song). Most songs you can find tabs for free online. I regret the $4 i spent on this.

Best iPad app for drum practice, hands down.
I’ve tried pretty much every drum tab and sheet music app out there for iPad, and this is by far the best. The $0.99 tab store songs are great, though a bit dated (great for me, being a child of the 80s) - but keep in mind you can add your own tabs and sheet music at no cost. On that note, it renders and plays back Guitar Pro files better than Guitar Pro’s own iPad app! (I bought the GP app and still prefer TabToolkit for my GP drum tab files.)
My only suggestion for improvement would be to lose the :3000 upload page and instead use the iTunes file manager thing (iTunes -> (ipad) -> Apps -> (click app) -> Manage Files, whatever that’s called), as it’s more convenient to add files to apps from another room if your iPad typically lives on a different floor than your computer.
Agile Partners, keep up the great work, and aspiring musicians and hobbyists, give this a download.

Hands down...
The best tab viewer and downloader app across all mobile platforms . Hands down, no bull sh..! Thank you very much to the developers :)
Don’t read the negative reviews. This software is awesome!
It went on sale for a dollar and I purchased it regardless of the reviews. Once I had a chance to use it I found it to be the best pro tab software available. It crashes now and then but honestly I don’t mind. It has so many features including speed, instrument volumes and scrolling directions that I overlook the occasional bug. It has a tab store where you can purchase songs for a dollar. However, you can also load them into the app from the various other website that offer them. I found the purchased songs to be of higher quality. If you play any instrument: piano, guitar, drums, bass…. you owe it to yourself to get this app.

Excellent!
Previous reviews say this app is just to get you to buy tabs, but this is not true! It is incredibly easy to add tabs from other sources. You can add Guitar Pro and other "rich" tabs, PDF, or even just plain text -- this is one of the best features of the app! Overall it is a fantastic way to learn new songs and keep my song book organized. Things that could be better: 1. The selection of tabs in the Agile tab store is pathetic. I'd happily pay 99 cents for a good quality tab, but there is nothing there I want; 2. It would be really nice to have better organization of tabs I've added, and to have syncing between multiple devices. But this app is worth far more than they charge and a far better value than Sonsterr or the various confusing UG apps, which make you pay a subscription fee.
