2025-01-15	Craig	Needs Major Improvement. This app needs massive Improvements. The song finder is barely a least viable product. What instrument each score is written for is completely missing. The app doesn't login with long passwords, like you can on the website. The bass guitar audio parts are completely missing in many songs. The other instruments sound like a 1987 Amiga. You cannot set your instrument preferences for finding music. You can not search by instrument piece either. Grade D-
2025-01-12	Gary Crowe	Cannot use it to learn songs because it scrolls badly. Screen shows about 3 measures, scrolls through them from left to right then jumps to next 3. You cannot read ahead. It would be better if the music continuously scrolled keeping the note being played in the center of the screen.
2025-01-02	Greg Arbour	Wow I cannot believe they charge for this app and I got suckered into paying for it. It is unusable. I have the desktop software and it's amazing but the app is horrible. The sounds are worse than an Atari system. There is no zoom so the font is super small and adjusting the font size doesn't do anything either. App doesn't support the embedded track that was used in the desktop to build the score. Also, what is up with the sloped bars connecting the notes? I want them flat like they should be.
2024-05-02	Zork Drajar	Guitar Pro is in shambles. When was the last update, when are we getting an update? Huge marketing problem, can't own the tabs from MySongBook. Functionity is broken at best. Always wanted to use Guitar Pro as a professional tool for composition, but you simply can't do that either. Is this the end of Guitar Pro because they can get MySongBook to generate revenue? Should be more about composing, less subscriptions.
2024-05-01	Petyr Alorikk	Although being able to slow down solos and difficult rhythms is a huge chunk of my practice and this does accomplish that, this app is lacking on MANY other areas. The most annoying is that if you try to loop any parts with a highlighted section any notes that aren't palm muted at the end of the selection will continue to ring out through the replayed repeated section.. also, you can't access many of the things this app has to offer if you flip your phone into landscape mode. Good but still meh
2023-11-18	M C	Very helpful with trying to learn a song. I have 2 suggestions that would help me at least. First, when the song is playing keep the notes being played in the middle of the screen. Sometimes they are at the very end and you can't see what's coming next. Second, the bass options are sometimes very hard to hear. Maybe that's just my phone, but other instruments are much easier to hear. Sorry I just thought of a third, when the phone is sideways you lose all controls other than play and rewind.
2023-08-27	Jeremy Brookley	Probably works fine with playing back tabs but as far as writing notes for a song from your phone, it's truly terrible. I'd rather fire up my computer and go in the other room than try and make "quick notes". Truly awful experience, guys. And I've been using guitar pro since GP3. Edit : wait, I can't even email my own notes to myself for use on my desktop? I'm doing a charge back. This is really, really terrible. Now it's 1*
2023-01-01	Flipsta H	I bought the app because I own a desktop license but quickly realized that it's just a file player. No editing at all. I don't use GPro to play my transcriptions because the playback is simply awful; even on the desktop. For acoustic guitars it's even worse. If you own a desktop license, this app should be free. Give me the ability to edit and this app becomes useful.
2022-07-07	J G	Garbage-displays as only one single line, and anytime you edit something it resets the tab. Finding anything is not intuitive, very little effort was put into this. I highly recommend tux guitar, works much better than this. Thought this would be at least similar to the quality of the windows version.
2022-06-26	Jun Rosas	Does the job pretty well. If you're familiar with the desktop version then you'll be right at home with this mobile version. You can view exported tabs from the desktop version or write new tabs straight from this app. The only thing I wish this app had is the option to have multiple instruments per tab. You kind of lose out on some of the song writing experience if you can only program in one instrument. Like at least 2 or 3 instruments per song in the "note pad" would really elevate this app.
