### 1/5 — 😞

*2024-05-22*

Je me suis abonné à cette appli et ne plus l’utiliser qu’une fois ! Normalement quand vous vous abonné vous avez un système de tickets (50) j’utilisé pour transcrire 2 morceaux, logiquement il devrait me rester 48. Le lendemain je retourne sur le site et là impossible de me reconnecter. Je contacte le service d’aide (48 heures pour avoir une réponse) la personne me demande la facture que j’envoie illico et elle me demande le numéro car elle ne voit pas la facture alors c’est le troisième échange…je fait une croix, je tout annulé chez PayPal. Dommage l’idée est très bonne.

### 1/5 — Nothing was right

*2024-01-03*

I think u should do a lot more work on this before charging for this app great idea but not accurate at all

**Developer response:** Hey Mangstrum,
thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review!

We are still working and improving our guitar transcription system.
Would be very helpful to get some in-depth feedback on the songs you where trying to transcribe and what issues you experienced with the generated sheet.

Guitar2Tabs also offers settings you can adjust to increase the transcription quality. This might be helpful for some of your songs.

If you have any further feedback or whishes,
let us know via support@klangio.com

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Alex from Team Klangio

*2023-09-04*

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-06-16*

Took my credits and never even plopped anything out

### 1/5 — Not accurate at all

*2026-06-09*

This is not close to the music I had uploaded

### 1/5 — Sheet music not tabs

*2026-05-25*

Guitar2TABS ??? Not when I tried it - all I got was sheet music

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2026-04-25*

Upload a song from file and that’s it . Nothing else happens . The web feature is way better .

### 1/5 — Money for nothing

*2026-03-09*

on December 2025 application stopped working. This application keeps taking money from my account. When I try to unsubscribe, it shows some kind of error Number 403.

### 1/5 — Won’t renew credits I pay for

*2025-11-23*

I’ve had the subscription renew for 2 months and neither time have my credits been renewed. I’ve used the troubleshooting tips and filed a complaint but nothing has changed. Worthless.

### 1/5 — Deception

*2025-10-23*

I paid for a month and didn't get anything in the end

### 1/5 — This app is no good

*2025-09-21*

They advertise falsely, the app is inaccurate, and they charge double what they advertise. You'll be lucky if you can ever get your money back.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-03-09*

Try another app

**Developer response:** Hi there,
thank you for your honest feedback, we apologize for the long wait. Our Klangio-AI-transcription algorithm is still far from perfect, but we strive to improve it to become better and better over time. Please message us via support@guitar2tabs.com with further details, what exactly does not work, so we can investigate the issue. 
All the best

### 1/5 — Useless and non functional

*2025-03-06*

Uploaded three instrumental tracks, each one with guitar front and center, none with complicated harmonies or chords.
Guitar2Tabs failed to deliver anything for each of the three-3 tunes uploaded, 3 error messages, nothing returned.
This app should be pulled until it works.

**Developer response:** Hi there,
thank you for reporting that issue to us, we apologize for the long wait. That should not be the case, of course. Please send us a ticket via support@guitar2tabs.com with your User ID and further details, so we can take a closer look at the issue. Thank you for your patience, we apologize for the inconvenience.

### 5/5 — Sehr nutzbar mit viel Potenzial

*2025-04-14*

Ich finde diese App sehr gut für meinen  Zweck. Ich spiele Gitarre und manchmal will das, was ich improvisiert habe, schnell in Noten umwandeln. Die App macht das gut. Auch die Songs „zu entschlüsseln“ tut er gut, aber besser, wenn nur Solo Gitarre spielt, oder möglichst wenig andere Instrumente. Nicht ideal, einiges muss man nacharbeiten , aber ist ja KI und das ist normal. Den Grundgerüst kann man mit der App ganz gut hinbekommen , und weiter bearbeiten. Ich hoffe das wird weiter entwickelt und wird immer besser.

**Developer response:** Hey,
vielen Dank, dass du uns ein 5-Sterne Rating gegeben hast. Es freut uns sehr, dass dir die App gefällt und dich beim Musizieren unterstützt. Du liegst richtig, unsere Transkriptionen funktioniert am besten mit einzelnen Instrumenten und wenig Hintergrundgeräuschen. Natürlich ist unser Algorithmus noch lange nicht perfekt, aber wir arbeiten daran, ihn immer weiter zu verbessern.
Falls du noch weiteres Feedback oder Anregungen für Verbesserungen hast, lass sie uns gerne über support@guitar2tabs.com wissen. 
Alles Gute

### 5/5 — Fantastic app.

*2025-02-08*

It’s not for writing symphonies but if you want to write some pieces for other instruments to guide them with your thoughts this app is perfect.

**Developer response:** Hi there,
thanks for taking the time to give us a 5-star rating! We love to hear that you enjoy our app, and hope it is helpful for you. Soon we are releasing some new apps with which you will definitely be closer to writing symphonies, so stay tuned! If you have any further questions or suggestions for improvement, let us know via support@guitar2tabs.com or via the in-app feedback form.
All the Best

### 4/5 — Make easier to print

*2026-02-06*

Please make easier to print

### 3/5 — Inaccurate tabs

*2025-02-12*

Notes from about 9-14 fret are often open, 1, 2, 3 on a higher string and not really playable.

**Developer response:** Hi there,
thank you for telling us about your experience with Guitar2Tabs, we apologize for the long wait. Our Klang-AI-transcription algorithm is still far from perfect, but we're striving to improve it to become better and better over time. If you got a full subscription, you may try out our edit mode where you're able to edit your transcription (https://klang.io/help/edit-mode).

### 3/5 — Ok for very simple stuff

*2024-03-14*

Might work ok for very simple stuff.  I used an MP3 that had 2 guitars but no other instruments and the notes were semi-correct but not entirely right, it couldn’t interpret bends at all and the rhythm was weird.  Might work good enough to get you started if you have a decent ear and can adjust the notation and tab.

The tab is technically correct for the notes shown… it’s not the right strings but it did do a decent job of keeping the hand positions reasonably stable.  

Free version does the first 20 seconds of a song.  Paid version is pretty steep if you only want to transcribe one or two songs.  Wish there was a per-song purchase option, given how far off the notation is from correct I won’t subscribe as I just have to go back and figure it out anyway.  (Also the 20 second limit is just annoying… if I really wanted I could chop an MP3 into 20 second clips and run all 12-15 of them through the app one at a time).

**Developer response:** Hi there,
thank you for your honest feedback. We offer a single transcription option on our website, as well as gift cards with tickets and different sized subscription. We would also recommend checking out our editor on our website. https://guitar2tabs.klang.io/

### 3/5 — Impressive but not quite right

*2023-07-22*

Guitar2Tabs  version 1.2.1 accurately identified single note melodies, but the guitar tablature was generated with the notes at unexpected positions on the fretboard.

It also accurately identified chords made with two notes, but the again the guitar tablature was generated with the notes at unexpected positions on the fretboard.

It was less accurate with chords made with three notes or more,  and again the guitar tablature was generated with the notes at unexpected positions on the fretboard.

I wish it had a feature for the user to give the AI feedback, such a note’s preferred fretboard position, and regenerate the tablature.

**Developer response:** Hey Puzzlemecrazy,

thank you very much for taking the time to give us such brief feedback :-)
We are currently working on editing features, stay tuned.

You can always export your guitar transcriptions as musicxml or even GuitarPro5 files and edit them in your beloved Music Notation software. 

Hope that was helpfull for your.

If you have any further feedback, you can get in touch with us via support@klangio.com or just leave us a feedback message via in-app.

Have a greate day,

Alex from Team Klangio

### 2/5 — This is obviously only for original music

*2025-12-08*

Sounded good thought I would check it out once you choose the song. The first thing they say is you have to say you have the rights to this song to make copies and all that well I don’t have the rights to this. I just wanna know how to play the damn song. Not for me.

### 2/5 — Potential here but crashes on MusicXML export

*2024-09-12*

Eager to see this improve. I am hopeful some of these bigger errors fixed.

**Developer response:** Hi there, 
we are constantly working on improving Guitar2Tabs. To always use the newest version, we would recommend checking out our web-app as well. https://klang.io/guitar2tabs/
