### 3/5 — Content is great. App is horrible

*2023-04-23*

App always requires internet, even with download Ed content and is very slow and full of ads.

### 5/5 — The BEST guitar magazine.

*2023-03-08*

The best guitar magazine in the world, is made much more convenient and easier to read and access all audio and video files by this app. I just love it, and truly use it daily to learn, get inspired, and motivate myself to practice.

### 5/5 — Best guitar magazine

*2022-03-27*

The best magazine.

Definitely subscribe to it. 

10/10

Great articles and you will learn a lot
From the magazine.

Great teachers.

Subscription price worth every cent.

### 4/5 — It’s a great app only a few improves

*2021-08-02*

Guitar Pro .gpx files needed to download. And the backing tracks to be able to be downloaded all separately. Don’t fear people sharing they can’t share it all.  It’s useful for us who play and pay and it’s creates buzz so we say get the magazine it’s great they give you in mag like you do now and they also give you gpx files with all their good tab and backing tracks are awesome. Just an extra few nuggets. You do a great job. Keep it up. Bravo 👏🏻

### 3/5 — No help

*2021-07-24, version 6.0.17*

I cannot get help

### 1/5 — Paid but no magazine

*2021-04-15*

Once again

### 5/5 — Bassman42

*2021-04-03, version 6.0.17*

Great magazine. Use it everyday for a portion of my practice sessions. Mitch Dalton’s column is very funny and right on point.

### 3/5 — Great mag. Needs access to extra content

*2021-02-16*

I guess it’s priced reasonably given you don’t have access to audio content that accompany the licks, techniques etc.    would gladly pay extra if that content was available, it’s what makes the magazine a great learning tool.

### 1/5 — Great mag, but

*2020-10-01, version 6.0.6*

Keeps crashing under iOS 14

### 2/5 — Slow to load

*2020-09-16*

App is Slow to load when using apple subscription
