Very old fashioned feel, lots of ads. No chords in the free version. ### 2/5 — Don’t get the pro version *2025-11-06* I had the free version, and could download songs. In order to be able to edit the songs, I paid for the pro version. This editing worked for about two weeks, then stopped working. I can’t get anyone from the app to contact me. Don’t waste your money on the pro version. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2025-04-26* This is pretty good. It doesn’t have all the songs that I look for, but I like how I can add and make songs. ### 5/5 — Good *2024-11-20, version 2.3.7* Good and simple ### 5/5 — 🎼🎤🎸😎👍🏼 *2024-11-12* Love this app‼️ It’s got almost all the songs or Artists I’ve looked up & shows the chords, tabs & lyrics! ### 5/5 — Tabs and chords *2024-11-10, version 2.3.7* Very easy to use and follow. It’s a total how package. With YouTube it’s perfect! ### 4/5 — No ADS? *2024-09-29* I really like this app, BUT…I paid for the annual subscription for the PRO version WITHOUT ADS, yet I STILL get ADS!! When will this get fixed??? ### 5/5 — To good to be true *2024-01-30* Well boys and girls. This is really an update to a review I posted earlier. And I MUST say I am impressed. Customer service actually got back to me quickly and basically held my hand through the registration process and once we got that done everything worked great. And better than expected the simplicity is the key to how great this app is . A clean interface with just what you need and a little bit more but not overwhelming Bravo! Well worth the effort **Developer response:** Hello. The application should activate PRO if you purchased it on the website. It is important that you are logged in to the same account on the website and in the application. Try to force close the application as well, PRO should be activated after launch. If this does not help, please contact me at contact@xssemble.com ### 4/5 — YouTube videos not playing in App. *2023-12-30, version 2.0.0* YouTube videos not playing in App since upgrade to 2.0.0 ### 4/5 — Good *2023-09-13, version 1.4.15* Needs update on music ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-08-19, version 1.4.15* Really happy with this product ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — used to be good, now its almost unusable *2025-10-13* For a couple of years now this app has become so terribly annoying to use. Whenever youre looking for a song it shows any song that could be somehwhat related to it, even if youre looking for a specific title along with the artist. No alphabetical order and frankly no real order anymore at all. It used to he different, I dont understand what happened. ### 1/5 — App inutilisable car PUB bloque *2025-09-21* Depuis quelques semaines l’app n’est plus utilisable car il est impossible de fermer les pub. Donc chaque fois qu’on ouvre un morceaux pour acceder au lyrics et chords, une pub s’affiche, et il est impossible que quitter cette pub, la croix ne s’affiche pas. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2025-06-15, version 2.4.4* A lot of bugs. Can’t even see the lyrics half the time ### 1/5 — The adds are obnoxious. *2025-06-05, version 2.4.1* Worked great before but now it’s trash and I can’t exit out of any adds to actually get to a song. ### 1/5 — Could be great, but it’s not. *2025-02-02, version 2.4.1* App is very limited. Needs to draw from larger number of websites for song files. Other apps will draw from eight or ten websites, this doesn’t. It is a good start as of 4/30/20! Checked back 2/2/25. Paid for the app, now I get an ad before every song. Lost a star for making your app worse. ### 1/5 — Beware *2024-11-13, version 2.3.7* Everything I had saved disappeared one day out of nowhere ### 1/5 — :( *2024-11-04* eigentlich mochte ich die App richtig gerne, alles übersichtlich und super, seit dem neuen Update sind aber komplett alle meine Favoriten weg die ich über Jahre gesammelt habe.. sehr schade **Developer response:** I apologize for the problems. Previous songs are not deleted, they are just not displayed. I am working on a fix and it will be fixed in the next updates. ### 1/5 — Too many mistakes in the chords *2024-02-24* Too many mistakes in the chords - often just unmusical - unusable. Conclusion: Subscription is not worth it! ### 1/5 — Bring back auto scroll *2020-10-21, version 1.4.1* I will find a different app where I don’t have to pay for auto scroll. Recent updates have really sucked! ### 1/5 — Update bug *2019-02-16* The most recent update about a few months ago was good. But just today I opened the app and no longer are my artists and favorites in alphabetical order. It’s all missed up and difficult to find the songs I want to practice ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple, easy to use, and effective *2026-08-23* I have an idea to improve the app a bit, the feature is to enable the guitar player to switch between electric guitar mode and classical/acoustic. The switch replaces the actual guitar chords of a song with the equivalent power chords. ### 5/5 — Best and most user friendly App. Easiest to use. *2026-03-27, version 2.4.4* I’ve been using it for year's and with the YouTube link it’s fantastic. ### 5/5 — Easy app *2025-12-02, version 2.4.4* Awesome app! Easy to use! ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-08-14* Just an amazing App for finding lyrics and Chords ### 5/5 — Free Auto Scrolling *2025-08-01* Everything you need. Chords, tabs, custom scroll speeds. Only downside is the very basic, UI but you get used to it. ### 5/5 — Gute App für den Hobby Gitarristen *2025-07-19* Ich kann die App nur empfehlen. Hab die IOS Kaufversion und die App und die community macht einen passablen Job. Nutze sie in erster Linie auf dem iPhone. Aber auch unter Windows im Browser funktioniert alles sehr gut. ### 5/5 — Ten year user!! *2025-04-07* When I tell you I am so beyond shocked at how few reviews this app has! I started playing the guitar when I was 12, I’m 23 now. THIS has been the app I’ve used this entire time. They give you FREE chords and tabs, for multiple instruments mind you. You can create you own very easily if you wish, it’s just a wonderful tool in general. The transposing helped me develop my singing too, I mean, really. THANK YOU! This app helped develop ME in a sense hahaha ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-03-18* Learned tons of new songs and enjoy the large song database ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-02-09* Sometimes you have to look at several to find the correct tabs/chords but there’s a lot here. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2024-12-17* I have been using this app for years and recommended it to many. I wrote the owner of the app a weeks ago about losing all my saved songs and I got a response very fast. The problem is all fixed now. Would recommend downloading this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
