Crashes on startup

you should have a one time purchase
hey yo, I tried out the app and it has this thing called a monthly subscription just like SOME MMORPGS that require you to pay a subscription fee in order to play on a different server and it seems to drain your wallet over time, like the one time I was playing a MMORPG and it took 200+ buccareenos off of my bank account when I forgot I still had it running. I'll tell you the truth. I dont want to pay for a monthly subscription again. If you posted a permanant version as part of the app's features I MIGHT reconsider. I hope you will consider this request as something more than a grain of sand in the comment world intertwined with the desert full of happy monthly subscribers.

Good luck trying to log in. They’re really good at accepting payment. But then account kicks you out
Poor.
Too many free features
Hi, I was looking at the playback for some of the songs I liked and found that I was able to play the non-original synth audio completely for free. This is outrageous! Free features should be completely removed and only allow you to read tabs. Additionally, there are not enough advertisements. My friend prefers watching ads on this app so he can avoid reading guitar tabs and waste his time! He would love if you added more ads so he could support the developers. As of right now, the app is completely usable for people who don't pay, which is completely unreasonable. Fix this immediately!
Confusing to use
I find the tabs very confusing to use and the functions like speed are,of course, only available with a subscription. Also, many of the songs sound vastly different from the original and I’m not a fan of having the source music linked to YouTube videos. At least that’s what it seems like.
Pop ups during songs
I keep getting the pop ups when listening to the original audio when I don’t have plus I love the app but it makes it unplayable as I like to hear the lyrics which you can in synth get rid of the pop ups or just make it a one time thing like if they click play with sync pops make it disappear
Terrible tabs
Some of the tabs in this app are terribly off tune they are laughable
Tabs are incomplete.
This is a scam

Boooooo! The New Layout sucks!
You guys should look at the many complaints on Reddit! Who on the team thought this was a good idea! It’s so cramped now and can’t even seen half the things in here without binoculars!
Can’t restore purchases on iPad!
I pay for Songsterr and have the app on my iPhone. I was never prompted to create an account although I have an email address associated with Songsterr due to subscribing through Apple. Now I can’t use “reset password” or “restore purchases”. Songsterr devs are clueless. I just lost all my favorites by trying to sign out and sign back in again. How tf am I “signed in” in the first place is i was never prompted to create an account or password? The onboarding flow is broken.
Used to be great
This app used to be great with no ads and a bunch of guitar chords and tabs but now every time you stop playing a song and try to play another? Boom an ad. Besides that they keep changing the chords on the songs I like playing. Im going back to ultimate guitar.
Good app, LARGE PROBLEM
So while practicing with the song playing, I like to listen to the original song instead of the synth. This is because the synth usually sounds weird or is too loud compared to the original song .
So, I use the original song. No big deal, the song plays.
10 seconds later it says “get pro to get rid of sync pauses,” and I don’t mind sync pauses at all, so I press “continue with sync pauses” and move on.
Another 10 seconds pass, same pop up. I click continue again.
10 seconds later, same thing. Over and over again
It happened every time, never stops, and ruins the point of listening to the music.
I would just ignore the pop up, but it’s hard to do that when it blurs the ENTIRE SCREEN.
Please fix this. I beg of you.

Good, but bad drawbacks
I have used Songsterr for years, but only the free version, as I can get by fine with the free features, at least until recently. They’ve updated the app and brought a new ui, but now it stops itself every 20 measures to recommend that if i want it uninterrupted, i need to upgrade to the paid version. it’s slimy business tactics, i’m very dissapointed with what this app has become.
