Terrible

You will spend more time trying to skip ads and paywalls than you will play/learn guitar.

So many ads

More like ultimate rage bait with all the ads that interrupt your experience just to find chords

Endless quizzes

All the quizzes and attempts to make me purchase something I already pay for EVERY TIME I open the app is absolutely crazy. Keeping only due to lack of alternatives.

Best

This app is the goat

Great for chords and tabs - when you can finally get into the app

This is the best app for tabs and chords and is pretty essential for me. Unfortunately the experience is often ruined by aggressive, dark pattern ads when the app starts trying to make me sign up for extra “courses” features I neither need or want.
I do not want and will never want courses thank you. I happily pay for the features I want.
Last week the guys started playing an adhoc song that’s not on our usual list and the song was half finished by the time I got the tab open to join in

Rubbish scam

Bought a sub that the app cannot restore, and their support refused to help me. The 7 day “free” trials also demand payment straight away. Stay away from this scam app.

Excellent….but

Yep, UG is great for looking up tunes but it would be even better if (as a subscriber) I didn’t have to be pummelled with ads to upgrade.

Extortionist app

I’m a paid subscriber and still get harassed to pay more and upgrade. Sick of the app, will switch to an alternative in due time. Shamefully extortionist management!

Terrible crashes

Hasnt worked in six months despite making all updates. AWFUL

Not happy

Got a subscription then they tried to commit fraud with my bank account.

Is there a new boss over there?

I bought a life time membership years ago but somehow was still charged $50 to use the app, and now when I try to open it, it goes through all these questions then tries to charge me again.
I pressed restore purchase but excuse me I don’t trust this app the press purchase again.
Life time membership bs. I saw someone else with the same problem and the UG people responded asking if he had proof. What a joke

Bought pro but still get ads

Even after buying pro, EVERY time I open the app I get spammed with surveys and then prompted to extend my subscription. Absolute junk

We will see

Initially was frustrating, but we will see

Were else can u get pistols tab or for that matter any group keep up the good work

So much potential if sheet music functionality was improved

As a pianist, the sheet music and in particular the pro versions have been very useful. But as someone trying to arrange various rock/pop songs for piano it's quite frustrating that there's a lack of customisation, namely:

-Only being able to view one section at a time
-Transposing results in difficult reading as it doesn't switch between to bass/treble clefs
-Inability to take notes
-Lyrics inconsistently showing up

I understand a lot of the tabs/music are community-generated. But adding functionality to customise it to bring it up to a functional level of that of Sibelius (but simplified for tablets and performance-focus etc) would be amazing. It would even justify a more premium pricepoint (if it was regularly updated and improved on, without bloat and less annoying pop-ups to upgrade)

Looking for a replacement app now

I’m a paid subscriber to this app and I am constantly interrupted by aggressive ad walls every time I try and do anything. I will not renew my subscription. Very very very annoyed and disappointed by what’s happened to this previously excellent app. The owners of this app should be ashamed of themselves.

Do not download

I hate this godforsaken app. There are FAR too many ads. Good luck trying to find any chords or tabs. There is a 99.9% chance you will be tricked into clicking on an ad, and even if you aren’t, you have to constantly exit out of them. You cannot access any tabs without paying as well. You are better off watching YouTube tutorials and writing your own tabs.

App

I updated the app as required 2 days ago. Now the music / lyrics tabs won’t open online or offline. Please rectify
Thankyou.

Good for practice and worship

This so good for my practice and worship
