Great

This is great for making new songs and practicing sing songs! Definitely would recommend 10 out of 10

Glitchy on iPhone

Don’t bother.

DO NOT BUY

Not only did this not work, it’s WAYY too expensive for what it is. DO NOT BUY.

Useless to compose with

I own Guitar Pro 8 on computer and have composed 10-minute-long multi-track songs with it (well, usually GP v5.2 which is overall better), and the best they can do on the mobile version is give "Notepad" for jotting down absolute bare-minimum ideas, with no integration to the PC software? And using a keyboard on iPad (3rd party keyboard in my case) provides NO input i.e. arrow keys, pressing numbers for note entry, even in Notepad. The absolute most French thing you could do to maintain a software product ecosystem for people who compose via tablature. What a joke. I hope Dorico continues improving their guitar tablature features on both PC and mobile so I can finally ahve tablature-first composition in a software ecosystem that takes itself, its customer-base, and the entire idea seriously and approaches things with a bit of enthusiasm instead of the entitled Malaise the people at Arobas Music have, despite the many stereotypes about the French, they're ticking every box and have been for decades. *spits*

Add Midi sound bank please!!!

I like this app a lot because I use Guitar Pro Desktop. I don’t use this app to write, just listen back to the track. I do wish we could get the Midi sounds playback. I just don’t like the realistic sound engine. One other thought, could we get a feature to remove songs from the list.

Does it for me

I’m low standard tech so probably don’t use full potential of the App, but as a convenient “take on holiday with your guitar “ it’s brilliant.

Stripped down version (don’t bother)

Due to the lack of ability to add the simplest of techniques such as palm mutes, slides, pinch harmonics and dotted notes etc it is a waste of space on your device. This is only a pre made tab reader/player. Don’t waste your money, just get a different tab reader/player that’s free.

Viele Features fehlen

Bitte support für Audio-Track hinzufügen

沒有簡譜,也沒有音樂導入。

功能真的有一點點的陽春,感覺真的很不pro希望未來可以好好更新一下注重一下平板的市場,這樣子正式版應該會更好賣。

Poor interface and bad midi sound

After using desktop version this app feels cheep and poor on functionality and midi player. It is impossible to zoom out and have layout with multiple instruments.

Excellent support !

J’utilise GP depuis très longtemps, certes l’application n’est pas aussi complète que le logiciel PC OU Mac, mais elle est un excellent outil.
Je suis enseignant en guitare, et j’organise des stages. Ceux de mes élèves qui veulent bien se procurer l’appli bénéficient d’avantages tels que : la mémorisation de la partition via le téléphone, la possibilité d’écouter la partition et de s’en servir d’accompagnement (ralentit et sélection possibles)
Il y a de nombreuses années, je demandais à mes élèves de venir avec une K7 audio, ainsi je leur enregistrais un résumé du cours. Il y avait alors de gros progrès, car plus moyen d’oublier quoi que ce soit !
Dès que j’ai découvert GP j’en ai fait le même usage !
Ça m’évite aussi de courir après mes partition et arrangements,
Tout dans mon ordi, mon telephone, ou ma boîte mail !
Extraordinairement !!!
Et puis bon, ça n’est pas de la grande musique, du gros son, mais ça n’est pas le but !!!
Merci

Zum Üben idealer Begleiter

Macht was er soll und dieses hervorragend

Logiciel imparfait

Dommage de proposer une version incomplète pour iPad.
nb : j’utilise Guitar Pro depuis la version 5 (que je trouvais beaucoup plus accessible en écriture) sur mon portable.
Ce logiciel sert pour mes montages audio qui accompagneront les vidéos que je poste sur YouTube.
La version 8.### est très difficile dans les réglages. La variété de sonorité n'est pas pour moi un atout.

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.

Peu d’évolution…

Bonjour,
application pratique et sympa mais depuis plus d’un an, on nous promet une grosse MaJ avec de grosses nouveautés mais rien ne vient… vraiment dommage car à côté, d’autres arrivent en force

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

No crossover to desktop

Full desktop version purchased. No credit whatsoever on the Moble.
