Content is great. App is horrible
App always requires internet, even with download Ed content and is very slow and full of ads.
The BEST guitar magazine.
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.

It’s a great app only a few improves
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 👏🏻

Great magazine. Use it everyday for a portion of my practice sessions. Mitch Dalton’s column is very funny and right on point.
Great mag. Needs access to extra content
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.
Great mag, but
Keeps crashing under iOS 14
Slow to load
App is Slow to load when using apple subscription
Doesn’t play well with others and bookmarks are horrible
Great to have access to the back catalogue of GT and the high quality tutorials that have always been a huge part of the magazine. The video element is embedded and works well. This app could be so amazing but the downsides below render it almost unusable to me. Having paid for the entire digital back catalogue it is beyond frustrating how clunky the app is. Major problems I have had are listed below.
Downsides:
The bookmark system is a mess, it’s impossible to sort them out into any system, and the preview pages are so tiny you can’t tell what bookmark you’re aiming for - they are sorted by issue title (why??) but with no discernible order (neither issue number or when you bookmarked them or anything) so if you have bookmarked many lessons good luck finding them again as they’re not sortable into published date or any other system. When in bookmark mode it doesn’t go from bookmark to bookmark, instead just continuing the issue in which the bookmark was found. Surely making personalised list of bookmarks with folders and subtitles would be easy and make the whole app more immeasurably more usable and appealing. Also a mode where you just browsed through your bookmarks without pause, so you could in effect have a private collection of favourite lessons. These things would be so simple to implement and I can’t understand why they’re not standard features
The worst bug in my opinion is that every time you minimise the app it seems to need to reacquire your purchases and verify itself - this takes about 10-15 seconds on my iPad Pro sometimes and this occasionally happens even if you don’t leave the app. Page turns when you’re flicking through a magazine seem to trigger it quite often.
Good luck if you’re using something like AmpliTube to play into your iPad while browsing the app - every time you make a change to your sound it seems like you lose your page and it redirects you to the front page of the app. Basic interactions with other apps are a mess.
It’s a shame that for the lack of a few features and presence of some bugs the app is so compromised. I would save your money and get a guitar pro premium membership instead where the app is a triumph instead of a trial.

Excellent tutorial.
GT is a must for learner & accomplished alike. You think that you know it all, then “BLAM.....” something new smacks you right in the chops. Well worth a read.
Great Teachings
I really like the way they teach you how to play, not just tones. it is a great magazine to learn from.
If You Are Serious!
I just discovered this magazine. I am so impressed. If you are a guitarist at any level, this will make you better, if you practice. The videos, the jam tracks, the analysis and the fun you will have makes it a must have for all guitarists!
Fantastic App
5 stars all the way!! Killer content, love that the sound bites and jam tracks are built into the articles. Great job!!
Great ideas and content.
One of my fav mags and especially awesome on iPad.
Great app
Don't leave reviews often but have to say I love this app
Great app
This is a great app. It allows you to display the magazines clearly one page per screen and has features with audio and video but I’m much more interactive than buying the magazine on paper. Back numbers are also available. All in all just great.
GT is the best Guitar Mag!
Guitar Techniques is the best instructional magazine published in English. (Young Guitar Japan is also great, but obviously is in Japanese).
In the US, Guitar Player is mostly fluff, and Guitar World thinks so poorly of its audience that it doesn't even print music above TAB.
GT is loaded with licks, lessons, and full songs from cover to cover. The app provides playback and occasional video for each example. Its an amazing learning tool!
I would love to see a desktop OS X version of the app - so we can read it on the big screen :)

The best no BS straight down to business Guitar Techniques
I’ve purchased all guitar mags and even though we all look at the ads most of them are beefed up ads with no real content. This mag is the best one out there I know of. Every issue is packed with loads of guitar riffs and techniques. I’d have to say this is the best guitar mag for any guitar player.
