Guitar Pro

Why should I buy such crap ?? I cannot edit scores, so what's the use ?? To read music sheets ?? Couldn't I just read it from paper sheet ?? Want my money back!!!

Seems like its a wasted potential this app. Instead of giving features you charge for a basic reader of GP8 files. When you can buy much better songbook type app/software and basically export the song into it. Even the fact that you can’t organize the files/songs as you want, makes this pretty lacking to say the least. —Group songs into sets or personalized groupings? Not possible —Update a song on the fly? Not possible —Add backing tracks or change the type of instrument used for the track? Also not possible. —Turn off instruments and just play metronome? Not possible —AUTOSCROLL?? Wow this is the strangest missing feature. The fact their software also doesn’t work with anyone’s pedal is really a bad decision! —Change the tab to a song or even revise an existing song you wrote or made up? Nope not possible, something that is a basic feature of GP8. For the price of this app, unfortunately it is seriously lacking in features that are available on pretty much every other app here.

Some files work, some have no sound.

As a tab viewer, this app needs to interact with other computers and storage locations such as iCloud. On this front app gets an F. The app needs to copy files into local storage on the iPad. A better way is to integrate directly with the iOS Files app and read the tabs directly from Files. It also never remembers the last location from which you loaded a tab, meaning it’s multiple clicks every time you want to load a new tab from iCloud. When you use the NotePad function to create a tab, the only way to get it back to your computer for further editing is to email it to yourself!!

The iOS app does not support backing tracks so quite a few songs either manual or from the My Songbook just don’t show up at all. The app hasn’t been updated in over a year so who knows if this is abandoned. It’s kind of lame. It could’ve been such a great companion to the Mac app.

Thank you for providing such a useful tool. I use bass tablature for my videos and there are a few additional features I'd like to see: The ability to write chord symbols on the tablature. It would also be great to have the ability to write text, not just chords. Sometimes I want to write things like 'Ionian Scale.' A feature that plays the chords. The ability to easily transpose the entire tablature.

The playback has issues with tempo accuracy and if there are parts with space in your song you’ll lose the first bit of the note. Very distracting, and very disappointing.

I love this program on all platforms; I wouldn’t be the musician I am without it because I’ve learned to use it to really push the boundaries on my writing styles. I’m sure most metal musicians can relate to what I’m saying here! This is something great for a beginner to get locked in on with learning and, as well, composing their own material.

I love learning on this app it is so helpful

I’m disappointed that you can’t use this app as an editor like the PC version. I would pay probably $30 for a decent editor version of Guitar Pro on my iPad.
