iReal Pro vs Live Tabs

iReal Pro is two things musicians love in one app: a realistic backing band that plays along with you, and a huge free library of chord charts you can pull up anytime — at practice, at a jam session, or on a gig. Need to transpose a song for a singer? Done. Want to practice with a full rhythm section behind you? Hit play. Named one of TIME Magazine's 50 Best Inventions and trusted by thousands of students, teachers, and pros at schools like Berklee College of Music — iReal Pro has been helping musicians get better since 2008.

Live Tabs keeps your guitar charts and set lists ready for rehearsal and live performance. Build a personal song library with lyrics, chords, tablature, tags and performance notes. Organize songs into set lists and keep your next performance in order. Read comfortably on stage with adjustable text, chord transposition, capo settings and auto-scroll. Open Performance Mode to focus on the chart while you play. Use Live Tabs without an account to keep a local library on your device, or sign in to sync songs and set lists across devices. Account libraries are cached for offline use, and pending changes sync when you reconnect. Export and restore your library as a JSON backup. Import compatible charts from the web and find linked YouTube videos while signed in. Web imports, video search and video playback require an internet connection. Live Tabs is a tool for your personal chart collection, not a licensed song catalogue.
