This is a quick update that fixes an issue with printing.

User reviews

Terrible

Don’t use this. It crashes, it adds stuff to you files. It updates and dumps everything you have. Chord symbols appear sideways. Great idea. Failed execution.

Broken now

I used to like this application. However, something happened with the last update and now the app is broken. My content is gone, no functionality, interface gone, etc.

Response from developer

I'm really sorry to hear that! Please send an email to support@chromaticlabs.com when you get a chance and I can help sort this out for you.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND AT THIS TIME

I spent several hours working on tabbing out songs in the iPad version, and had everything working the way I wanted it. Then I went to load my work on the OS X version of Tabular as I had the iCloud support enabled on both. OS X version crashed, then showed an empty file when I restarted the app. Closed the OS X version, and switched to the iPad version, and now the app shows an empty document with an activity indicator. I waited 20 minutes, and still nothing.

Since the iPad version hasn't been updated in almost two years, and the OS X version in over a year, I cannot recommend anyone purchase either app at this time. It's a shame, really. I liked the apps very much, and got a lot of use out of them.

I would be willing to try them out again if this developer releases a new update.

Works somewhat but keeps crashing

Like the other comments, it randomly crashes and I'm on the latest iOS version 9.5 on the free version. No support that talks about this or how to contact the authors so I'm not going to spend 10 bucks for it!

Unstable, buggy and unfinished

Constantly crashes in iOS 9.2 on an iPad Air, it's almost unusable. Missing basic functionality like mixed note durations in the same beat. You can't edit an instrument after you pick it initially?! Where are the bug fix updates??
