Guitar pro
Don’t get this , you have to pay upfront just to open the app , then a subscription of 5 dollars a month after that .. it’s insanely complicated and didn’t have any of the songs that I wanted to play.. I only downloaded it so I could put tabs on my own videos .. just get songster it’s way better. The free version is pretty good as well

Great App!… on a desktop
I’ve tried several music writing apps for different instruments including the guitar. The desktop version of guitar pro is by far my favorite. I have tried 4 different apps and guitar pro is the most intuitive and easy to use for guitar, piano, and even Bb instruments like the alto sax. However, when using this app on an iPad its most unique options, like transcribing for non-concert pitch instruments, are gone. So is the intuitiveness. I was going to upgrade to 8 but my understanding is that the same limitations are on the new version. Oh well, still may favorite desk top writing system. I’ll stick with it until someone comes up with a better mobile version.

Trash vs Desktop
For anyone without access to a computer at all times who likes to jot down an abundance of ideas, GP iOS consistently falls short. I have had so many great ideas erased just by switching instruments it causes unbelievable frustration. Instead of designing some kind of failsafe feature to preserve notes after switching instruments, this app will automatically erase 2 lowest string notes after switching guitar sounds when using 8 string instruments. I would love to be able to do some simple layering of instruments so I can have a bass and guitar play together, but this isn’t possible in the notepad feature. I find myself trying to use one single staff to harmonize and then separate them later on the computer version. Not sure why this app was designed to be so disappointing in so many ways… Please improve features above and maybe I could provide a better review.

No bpm adjustment?!
Just a slider for tempo!? How can you claim this to be useful for practice if you can’t adjust the tempo by a couple of bpm at a time? Would appreciate a refund.
Been using it for years to keep a note of all my homebrew riffs
Always been good for keeping track of riffs I've noodled out and stuff cause I have a bad memory, could just do with multi instrument arrangement options so I could potentially tab out a whole song with harmonies, bass, maybe some drums etc.. still a great app just missing something small
