This app is terrible. There is no button to sort an artist's tabs (My Tabs > Artists), they are stuck in a seemingly random order. Page turning pedals do not work. It regularly nags me to buy new features I don't want. The notice about loading tabs for offline use moves the list so you have to hit a moving target to open a tab or wait for it to finish loading. Support is not helpful. Run away.

How is an app so widely used still so bad? Where to even begin... 1. It's the laggiest app I have. Tap a tab 10 times before it opens, if at all. Might just have to kill and reopen the app. 2. When I create a personal version of a tab, it should show up in the same Playlist right under the original. 3. Spacing in tab editing is infuriating. It's impossible to place the chord above the exact word in a song without saving, checking, and adjusting until it's right. 4. I'm out of space in this revie

giving a 1 star as I loved this app, It used to be affordable and an excellent service for the price. unfortunately they have doubled the price and have updated the app to the point of garbage, the auto scroll feature is totally useless and 2x speed is like 10x speed and 1x speed is like -10 speed, as well you can't rewind and choose where you would like to play from, it always starts from the top and if I ever paused it I couldn't get it to work again. sad to see it go so far downhill!
