It’s pretty good but I wish we had access to basic tools without buying pro. And I also wish that that when you search for a song like, Ghost riders in the sky by Johnny cash, it would actually give me the right cords. A lot of the songs are not the right cords and it’s a little disappointed. All together tho, if you’re looking for simple tabs, I recommend getting this. ### 3/5 — <3 *2026-08-07, version 4.8.3* AMAZING ### 4/5 — good app *2026-07-15, version 4.8.2* Some songs arent as accurate as yhey should be, and some smaller artists arent even on here, but its a good app and works. good tabs. ### 4/5 — Pas mal *2026-05-25* App pas mal mais quelques défauts : - les pubs - les fonctionnalités payantes ### 5/5 — More than useful *2026-03-25, version 4.7.3* This App with a clean display is a godsend to my music career ! ### 5/5 — Love they have a VERY DECENT free version *2026-03-20* I wasn’t expecting many songs for using just the free plan, but this has many songs to choose from. These are the type of apps that I will most likely actually upgrade from when the time is right. ### 5/5 — Best application *2026-03-19* thanks for this amazing application ### 3/5 — Übersichtlich, funktional - aber nur mit Abo *2026-03-08* Gute, übersichtliche Player App mit Funktionen die weit über das Abspielen hinaus gehen (könnten), wenn es diese nicht nur als Abonnement geben würde. Ohne Abo geht so gut wie nichts über das Abspielen hinaus. Zudem fühle ich mich getäuscht durch die im Store gezeigten Einzelkäufe, alle Funktionen für 7,99 z.B. Die werden nicht angezeigt, nur 2 Abonnements. Und da ich Abos ablehne werde ich wohl beim Original bleiben. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-02-28* Do get issues when iOS gets updates but developer does sort them, great range of features. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-02-14, version 4.6.7* Can’t use since I updated to iOS 26, crashes as soon as you start it, developer said he would sort but at the moment can’t use it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please improve *2026-08-11* I have been using the app for many years and the more I spend the worse it gets ### 1/5 — Worst *2026-07-24* Worst ### 1/5 — Apple ID doesn’t work on MacBook or MacPro *2026-06-23, version 4.8.1* On the iPhone and iApp the music notation is too small for me to read. Unfortunately, on the Mac Computer they have no provision of signing in with your Apple ID - so, I paid the full subscription, including the Upgrade To Pro, but the application is worthless to me. I hope they read this review and make the necessary changes. ### 1/5 — What a joke *2026-06-09* First off, you charge for features- basic ones - that are free on other sites. But the app isn’t even good enough to charge for. It’s really lacking in every respect. How insulting ### 1/5 — Glitchy and unreliable *2026-06-04* Why does this application keep closing on its own!? So unreliable and glitchy. Sometimes I get so impatient after it closes on its own (10+ times) that I go elsewhere. I can’t believe I paid money for this. Don’t make the same mistake. You’ll be frustrated and spend more time trying to get tabs than playing your guitar. ### 1/5 — All ads!! *2026-06-03, version 4.7.7* All ads! ### 1/5 — WTF *2026-05-05, version 4.7.6* Can’t set up account! ### 1/5 — Avoid. Too many permission requests *2026-02-21, version 4.7.1* I was looking for a professional tool to manage my guitar tabs on iOS, but this app is a huge disappointment. Before even letting you try the core features, it asks for an excessive amount of permissions that have nothing to do with music (like tracking your browsing history ecc ecc ### 1/5 — Not working on iOS 26.3 *2026-02-15* App just freezes on iOS 26.3 iPhone. No good at all. ### 1/5 — Crash *2026-02-14* App keeps crashing and unusable ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — good *2026-08-11, version 4.8.3* nice and amazing ### 5/5 — A Wonderful App *2026-07-30, version 4.8.2* What a blessing to have the correct way a songwriter chooses to express himself. Even complicated pieces are easily learned if you take your time. I’m glad I bought the marvelous software. Bobby Joyner ### 5/5 — Fantasticum et fabulosum *2026-07-12, version 4.8.2* I’ve been playing piano since I was in kindergarten. I graduated to a #Hammond #B3 and #Fender #Rhodes. Fantastic and fabulous tool to generate charts for my bass and guitar artists that perform with my band @cebufunk. ### 5/5 — Tabs *2026-07-11, version 4.8.2* Great job easy to follow and learn songs ### 5/5 — Overall a great app at a fair price *2026-07-02, version 4.8.2* One time payment for a ton of tabs and features. Totally worth the $5 (at the time I purchased). I have hundreds of tabs (maybe even more than a thousand at this point). I don’t play gigs so I use the set list feature to separate songs I’m good with by genre and have a couple more lists for ones I’m working on. Very pleased. It does lag a bit when exiting one tab and opening another. This didn’t warrant losing a whole star though. I never use the YouTube feature. I’ve tried a couple times and the videos were usually taken off YouTube already. Regardless, a great easy to use app for any guitarist - from busker to luthier. Edit: I now do play some (free) gigs and, man, this app is tremendous. I learned, though, to back up my local edits before updating. Although, with this last update, it let me bring in my old edits. You have to hunt a bit in your profile to figure out how to do that. Another edit: still loving the app but one weird thing now… after recent updates, my scroll settings reset for every song. That means I have to go back through all my favorites songs and set each one manually. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely the inconsistency is inconvenient for sure. Regardless, I’m very happy with my initial $5. I’ve easily made that back in both enjoyment and tips during performances. ### 5/5 — Genial *2026-06-25* Kann die App nur jedem Gitarristen weiterempfehlen ### 5/5 — Value & time saving *2026-06-04* This app has saved me countless hours searching for songs. And the print enabler is worth more than you realize. I have bought several books for just a few songs that are quickly found on this app! ### 5/5 — Needs more options for UI *2026-06-02* This app is quite good and can display many kinds of tabs and "play" songs for you to play along with. It did make a recent UI change that doesn't work for me -- there are lines coming down from the numbers the same thickness as the staff lines. Makes it harder to read. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback. Open the display settings for the tab and enable "Tab simple" (simplified tab mode) — this hides the rhythm stems and shows just the numbers on the staff, the way it was before. ### 5/5 — Nice synthetizr *2026-05-15* High quality on drums for my backing track on my phones ### 5/5 — 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 *2026-03-25, version 4.7.3* 😁😁😁😁 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
