作ったタブ譜が消えました

バグか分かんないですけど、作ったタブ譜の中身がほぼ消滅してました。絶望

Very nice

I love almost everything about this tab program (ease of tabbing, playback feature) but have one major suggestion. When I print this tab, the fonts are small and the tab is kind of hard to read from a normal distance. Bolder/larger font would be a major improvement!

Sehr gute App!

Diese App ist für mich nahezu perfekt – benutzerfreundlich, übersichtlich und ansprechend gestaltet.
Was ich mir noch wünschen würde, ist eine Funktion zum Hinzufügen von Textanmerkungen, beispielsweise für Akkordbezeichnungen oder Songtexten.

How to use?

I can’t figure out how to use. I did a trial- forgot to cancel…. And now I have an app that I paid $66.65 for… but can’t use. If anyone from guitar tabs can reach out to me I would greatly appreciate it. Right now- I’m very frustrated and disappointed.
