### 5/5 — Songsterr

*2026-08-24, version 10.3.0*

This is the bestest app in learning to play the guitar from scratch.  It’s fun with variety, has every song you can think of with different levels to learn from. 5 out of 5.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-08-23, version 10.3.0*

### 5/5 — Goat

*2026-08-22, version 10.3.0*

Kudos songsterr, don’t know where I’d be without you 🥹✌🏾

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-08-22, version 10.3.0*

Good

### 5/5 — The place to go to for tabs

*2026-08-22, version 10.3.0*

This site has it all. It’s so helpful to be able to centrally locate tabs when needed and this place pretty much has them all.

### 5/5 — Amazing App - Just One Request

*2026-08-21, version 10.3.0*

Amazing to help visualize your music and has been an integral part of my guitar journey and I wouldn’t be at the level I am currently without it. Not only is there guitar tabs but tabs for all other instruments and vocals within a song. All the relatively popular songs and artists will have very accurate tabs and tabs which aren’t accurate are often updated regularly. 

Overall an amazing app but one quality of life feature I would love to potentially see created in the future is the ability to create folders or organize your favorite songs. While many of the songs are alphabetized based on the artist, once you save or learn or plan to learn a lot of songs it becomes crowded and harder to navigate. Anyways this is just a request to make an already great app even better.

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2026-08-21, version 10.3.0*

Very useful and accurate for all bass  tab I’ve used. Hopefully they keep updating

### 5/5 — Peak as hell

*2026-08-21, version 10.3.0*

I learned whole songs by myself FOR FREE!!
