Still selling app but developer(s) not supporting fixing any reported bugs

Greetings. Tab toolkit is a very good app and it still works but it needs some love and attention. There has been NO development on this app for years (and years). The interface needs to be updated to current iOS not iOS 7 or whenever the last time you worked on it. This app could be WAY better if you updated the interface and added a few more features. Searching could be better and there should be some way to make and save “Playlists”. It is nice to have filters for Song Name, Songs by Artist, Browse Artists, Recently Added and Favorites but in this day and age that is not enough. If user needs to create multiple playlists or collections they should easily be able to. If you update the app with new features and modernize the UI I would gladly pay for a (one time purchase) upgrade. Just because your app still compiles and people still purchase it doesn’t mean you should not keep it up to date and modern. I am begging you to please update this app. Even with its age I believe it is better than Guitar Pro … but it doesn’t compare to Guitar Pro’s more modern display. Guitar Pro lacks ability to easily filter songs (Name, Artist, Favs, etc). I believe you would get a lot of people upgrading or purchase the app if you took some time to update it. this app.

Likely an abandonware

Developer likely abandoned this app. Last update 7 years ago!

Good app, it can be greater

I like the app a lot. However, an update with a better variety of music in the Tab store would be great!

Time for an update!

This is so sad. This was my go to tab app since it was first published. Now there are too many bugs and is not worth my patience. Stay away from buying this app unless they update it some time soon!!
