### 4/5 — Wow, after all this time…!

*2024-10-22, version 2.9.8*

I bought this app many years ago, and, little by little, it became less appealing.

Now, I find that they’ve rebuilt it into a web-based app, Chord.wiki! This is a massive change, with all kinds of functionality built in. I was able to import my Guitar Tapp faves into the new app, and it works seamlessly!

Thanks a LOT, guys! Just one thing: can you bring back the scrolling functionality? 

🤌👍✌️

### 4/5 — The app

*2024-10-16, version 2.9.8*

It refuses to open and i cannot figure or fix it?

### 2/5 — Auto scroll doesn’t work. Good app otherwise

*2024-08-01, version 2.9.8*

As above

### 3/5 — Failure to open favourites

*2023-12-24, version 2.9.8*

Since updating my iPhone to 17.2 I am unable to open my favourites so at the moment I cannot access any of my downloads. As I have paid for this I would expect the developer to keep it up to date!

### 3/5 — Don’t scroll musics on iphone

*2023-11-02*

Don’t scroll musics on iphone

### 3/5 — Oh well good while it lasted

*2023-09-23, version 2.9.8*

Suddenly can’t send lyrics to email contacted support but don’t reply.

### 3/5 — Ne marche plus sur iPad

*2023-09-18*

Ne lAchetez pas 
J’ai contacté Apple et guitatapp j’ai jamais eu de réponse 
Dommage car c’etait la meilleure

### 1/5 — Upset

*2023-05-25, version 2.9.8*

Can’t get into this app at all. Have had it for years and now it won’t come up at all on my tablet😡

### 1/5 — Support has stopped as well as functionality

*2023-05-23, version 2.9.8*

It’s over for this app 
Support has ceased : there is no server to email the converter tabs from : app still works but very limited features still supported

### 1/5 — Used to be good, sadly no more.

*2023-05-12, version 2.9.8*

I’ve had this app for 3 years. Now the email and scroll features won’t work. They are very aware that these features don’t work. They will not respond to emails. They refer you to join a FB page that wants you to be part of a new beta app that is similar to GuitarTapp. This is really sad. So, if you get this app just know that if you want to share a song you will have to take a screen shot, then save it to your device and import it to your library. (Stupid, right!)

### 4/5 — Bonjour

*2023-05-06*

Le défilement automatique (autoscroll) ne fonctionne pas….pourquoi ?
Cordialement

### 3/5 — Used to work seamlessly

*2023-04-11, version 2.9.8*

Many years of it working perfect, now I can’t even get it to open.
Tried all the basics, deleted the program ,reloaded. Sacrificed a goat in a full moon. Nothing, contacted them got noting but a Facebook page.
Looking for another similar app.

### 2/5 — Can’t email tabs

*2023-04-08, version 2.9.8*

Reached out over a month ago because I used to be able email the tabs, etc… No one got back to me, not sure if this app is supported anymore? Tried deleting and reinstalled, still didn’t work…

### 1/5 — Programme failure to email songs

*2023-03-24, version 2.9.8*

Recently the programme has begun giving errors when attempting to email charts to a long standing email account.

### 1/5 — What is happening???

*2023-03-18, version 2.9.8*

Of all the apps I have I use this one virtually everyday. It is a rare instance where I would pay a subscription to use it. It has not been kept up to date and looks like the developer has abandoned it. It was working up until last week and now it just crashes. What a shame. Dispatched to the junk pile.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, no support

*2023-02-22, version 2.9.8*

Paid for the app and downloaded. Crashes every time without loading. Deleted and reinstalled with same result. Sent email to customer support (as they requested) with no response to any of my messages. I can only say be wary.

### 1/5 — Auto scroll not working

*2023-02-14, version 2.9.8*

I’ve used this app for years. Switched to iPad and iPhone recently and the auto scroll function isn’t working at all.

### 1/5 — I bought the app and i won’t even open!

*2023-01-19, version 2.9.8*

I bought the app and It wont even open.
How come apple app store still displays apps no longer supported or updated by developers. They should have taken it out if no longer updated…..it doesn't work on my ipad pro m2 with latest ios.

### 1/5 — Auto scroll does NOT work

*2023-01-14, version 2.9.8*

auto scroll does not work on my ipad rendering this app useless

### 2/5 — Still buggy

*2023-01-02, version 2.9.8*

According to their Facebook page, they are working on a new version, but with no release date in sight and the non-functioning auto scroll, I bought a foot pedal for scrolling because the app says that would work too...but it does not. More wasted time and money...

### 1/5 — Pay, Then The Warning

*2026-05-31, version 2.9.8*

Paid for the app, and got warned about the web based app, with app simply not working anymore. Chords.Wiki just not work; opens a default song and is incredibly slow and non-responsive. This app needs to be removed from the App Store, as it is now a scam. Edit: ChordsWiki does not operate in safari on the an iPad Pro M, as the website is marked as insecure.  Chrome seems to respond; however, you get the regular 30s timeout warning.

### 1/5 — Lost all my music

*2025-02-02, version 2.9.8*

What alarm is searching a new music and all of my music is now lost. We downloaded the app. Something is F ed up can’t search music. Basically the app is useless right now.

### 1/5 — Crashed in IPad

*2024-10-01, version 2.9.8*

Works fine in my android tablet, can’t get it to work in the iPad :-(

### 1/5 — Never works

*2024-06-14, version 2.9.8*

I bought this app and it never works. Doesn't even open. Refund pronto, please

### 1/5 — Support? Fehlanzeige ...

*2024-03-02*

An und für sich eine sehr nützliche App mit ordentlicher Datenbasis, auf die zugegriffen wird – wenn auch mit ein paar Eigenheiten (oder Anachronismen) in der GUI. Deshalb hatte ich mir auch die teure Pro-Version mit lebenslanger undsoweiter gegönnt. Seit geraumer Zeit funktioniert das automatische Scrollen nicht mehr, was die App nahezu wertlos macht. iOS-Update, Deinstallation mit Neueinrichtung – nichts schafft Abhilfe. Leider laufen diesbezügliche Serviceanfragen oder Fehlermeldungen beim Entwickler (8:45 Tools) komplett ins Leere. Es antwortet zwar ein Automat brav, dass man sich gerne darum kümmern werde; was aber konkret passiert, ist: Nichts. Der Verkauf geht dennoch unverdrossen weiter. Fazit: Vom Kauf abzuraten.

### 1/5 — Dead app

*2024-01-06, version 2.9.8*

This was a good app years ago. The developer decided to decommission a lot of functionality thereby rendering the app essentially useless to everyone who paid for it.

 Apple Store take note. This app should be removed.

### 1/5 — Worst support ever

*2023-08-03, version 2.9.8*

Actually NO support!  I’ve used this app for about 10 years, then a few months ago the  “send to email function” stopped working. I read all the FAQs, no help so I emailed their support. I got an automated response saying they’d get back to me. Nothing from them in 4 months. I emailed them twice more and only get the automated response. I think this company is defunct.

### 1/5 — Sad to see it fail

*2023-07-23, version 2.9.8*

I used this app for years with various iPhones and recommended it to all my Baby Boomer guitar playing friends. It worked well until it didn’t; maybe 3 months ago it stopped sending my chosen songs to email for printing. I emailed support and got a form letter back saying they would contact me unless the answer to my question was on the FAQ portion of their web site. It wasn’t, but they never emailed me back. I have since discovered that the app has been considered “abandoned” by android phone users. So has it been?
It is being abandoned by me, for sure.

### 1/5 — Loved until I couldn’t download!

*2023-06-18, version 2.9.8*

I used to be able to download files to email. Now I can’t. Customer service wasn’t helpful. Please help! I used to love this app.

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2023-06-16, version 2.9.8*

Will not work on my iPad 
I open the app and it promptly closes

### 5/5 — The app stopped working on my iPhone

*2022-12-05, version 2.9.8*

The app doesn’t open on my iPhone anymore. I deleted the app , restarted my phone, then reinstalled the app , still no go

### 5/5 — UPDATE PLEASE

*2022-03-27, version 2.9.8*

I love this app. I just it religiously. I would love an update that resizes the interface to use the full screen on newer iPhones.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2021-05-14, version 2.9.8*

Game changer for guitar players looking to find and play songs fast. Works as advertised and has a huge library of songs.

### 5/5 — Ignore the cry babies, this is a great learning app.

*2021-02-18, version 2.9.8*

So auto scroll doesn't work. Boo hoo. Guitar Tapp is still the finest song learning tool available on any platform. I have used it for years - back when a lot of songs weren't available. Now it finds almost everything I want. No, it's not a great live gigging app, but I don't think it was meant to be. It's a wonderful learning and teaching app.

Guitar Tapp lets you find and save songs, edit them, clean them up via a feature called "convert to chord pro", look up chords if you don't know them, share, transpose (🙏), find other versions of the song (handy if the chords sound wrong), show the chords, find a video version of the song AND find a video tutorial of the song. You can email a song to yourself to use in your favourite gigging software like Forescore. 

It wasn't expensive - paying the devs is the least I could do for all of these handy features.

I want to thank the developers for creating this. It has been a lifesaver. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2020-01-25, version 2.9.8*

Not linked to any of the monthly ripoff tab sites that used to be free. App is clean with some awesome feature and meets my requirements. Happy days.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2019-12-29*

I no longer use sheet music. This app, when used on an ipad or tablet, is all you need. Besides having lyrics and chords for thousands of songs, the app allows you to create set lists, transpose songs to lower or higher keys, edit songs, and more. You can also adjust songs to gradually scroll as you play at any speed. Another feature is you can change the print to a larger, bolder font - much needed for older players. Excellent app!

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2019-04-06, version 2.9.8*

This app is just what I’ve been looking for. It works very well for me on my iPad Pro. It’s Very easy to use and Love that you can edit the chord tabs to your preference. Also like that you can search for songs within the app. Definitely worth the price

### 5/5 — Great for live acoustic work

*2019-02-15, version 2.9.8*

I use it all the time at gigs on my iPad .... Perfect!

### 5/5 — Wonderful App!!

*2019-01-25, version 2.9.8*

I have stacks of paper both loose & in binders in no particular order.  So far this app has been a great tool that is not only good for the environment but has given me something to get organized with my music, I love it!! The scrolling tool is the only thing I struggle with but luckily I found a foot pedal from IRig that works great with the app.

### 5/5 — Good but need improvements

*2019-01-22, version 2.9.8*

The interface is pretty old and not very easy to use... it needs a change to simplify the search and select the instrument wanted, as well as online history linked to users account...
