Basic features not available in the app, only available on the desktop? No real reason for that. the free version is INSANE with how the ads work, and the paid version unlocks a bunch of stuff but then doesn't support half the features on an android device... very disappointed, regret paying for this
New update has made all of my favorites disappear.
I think its really gross, that the most freeing things. Such as playing music are hidden behind paywalls and disgusting use of ads. It is utterly dissapointing and I wish I could suggest other options, but their really isnt much. Use add blockers and try the website itself, you may have a way better experince. The app developer deserves nothing, but shame man
Has helped my bass playing so much! (EDIT) When I start learning more difficult songs the app likes to update the tabs so that I am not playing the right notes and the audio for the bass cuts out. (EDIT) They phased out of their Lifetime membership and are now subscription based so when I bought the Lifetime membership I really paid for some help and now it's subscription based.
had this app for years. it used to he great. now its all locked behind a pay wall, and full of ads, and bugs out kinda often.
Changing from 5* to 1*. No tabs available in my country because of corporate greed. I kept you for the tuner function. You took it away. The most useless app ever. Goodbye premium member.
I purchased this app in good faith a few years back as a lifetime membership. I still have access but it is continuously being downgraded with less and less features.
it won't let you cancel your suscription once you get it
I genuinely don't know what happened to this app. It was absolutely fantastic for a decade and now it is slow and half the time just doesn't work in general.
There's a bit delay on timing showing the tabs matching with the song's
so many new pay walls it's nuts
I didn't enjoy the weird survey with recording and screenshare
great app, but my current issue is that saved tabs keep getting changed. I will start playing one day, and when I go back to the same tab, someone edited it.. and no longer is accurate. this has happened so many times, perfectly playable songs get "updated" only for it to be completely out of key or no longer in sync with the actual song it's still doing it, every few months the tabs and tracks get changed around(and are wrong)... super frustrating.
Paid for the lifetime premium over 15 years ago. Now I can't even search for a song without an ad and I can't pitch change the playback. I guess screw the OGs that made the app happen. Other than them scamming folks, the app has helped me alot in the past.
Tabs are on the wrong guitar. The solo should just be on distortion for example, I want to learn Gus G. just can't let go on my Randy Rhodes electric guitar but when I wanna learn just the electric guitar part the solo is apparently on acoustic. Someone please fix it.
A lot of the chords for songs have been updated over the past few months and they're no longer the right chords. Used to be great.
