### 1/5 — Nonsens

*2022-10-24, version 4.4*

Complete nonsens. The most useless app I ever tried.

### 4/5 — Basslinien werden als Gitarrenlinien wiedergegeben

*2020-09-23, version 4.3*

Die App funktioniert insgesamt gut, allerdings erkennt die App Linien nicht, die in der GP5 Software für 6-saitigen Bass programmiert wurden. Die werden als Gitarrenlinie wiedergegeben, d.h um eine Quarte zu hoch.

### 1/5 — Zeigt auch in Full-Version nur einen Track an!

*2019-12-31, version 3.4*

Achtung: Diese Version zeigt auf meinem iPhone 6s lediglich den ersten Track an. Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie der Track umgeschaltet werden soll! Full-Version hilft auch nicht. Support gibt’s offensichtlich nicht mehr...
Mies!
Antwort auf die Rückmeldung des Autors:
Genau diese Auswahl der Tracks funktioniert bei mir nicht. Ich habe wirklich alles probiert! Demo-Song, runtergeladenes gp5. Egal. Ich kann zwar über das Zahnrad alle Tracks anzeigen, deren Lautstärke ändern und die Instrumente verstellen, aber nicht einen anderen Track auswählen. Weder am iPad mini 4 noch am iPhone 6s.
Oder ich bin einfach zu blöd...

### 1/5 — 👎🏻

*2016-09-17, version 3.3*

Nicht genügend

### 4/5 — ++++-

*2016-02-09, version 3.3*

Нельзя транспонировать(((

### 1/5 — пол экрана не работает

*2015-09-13, version 3.2*

не реагирует сенсор, точнее правая стррона на айпад мини
расстроило очень
тупит и вылетает частенько

### 1/5 — Не работает!!!

*2015-06-25, version 3.1*

Почините! Не могу добавить песню, хотя купил полную версию!!!

### 5/5 — добавьте простой браузер с поисковиком или облако

*2015-05-26, version 3.0*

а так все супер, спасибо )

### 4/5 — Хорошее приложение

*2015-02-07, version 3.0*

Хорошое приложение, но немного не удобно скачивать и искать сами гтп файлы

### 5/5 — A must-have for guitarists!

*2014-08-02, version 3.0*

I love this app!! It downloads tabs from my favorite sites über-quick while keeping a clean and simplistic format. Awesome if you want a wide plethora of tabs at your reach via the click of a link.
