Guitar Pro App Reviews – User Reviews of Guitar Pro

adaptiveagile’s Review of Guitar Pro

Been a cross platform user for years. While not perfect, its good points far outnumber its drawbacks.

Best iPad tab editor out there by a mile. I do wish the editor was a little more robust, but it suffices for just jotting down basic transcriptions that will be refined on the desktop app.

I wish I could override the fixed bar length to condense more tab into the field of view.

I’d like to see more categories for sorting and finding my tabs since I have such a huge database.

But I expect they’ll continue to improve the app as time goes by. My biggest complaint is that there’s no master volume for the tracks (one that doesn’t also adjust the master volume of the iPad) so I can play along without losing my eardrums.

I’d like Arobas to bring RSE to the iPad. That will make this the undisputed market leader since it would allow for play alongside. Even better would be synchronizing real soundtracks like SoundSlice.

I know I’ve only listed the negatives, but this is for the developers to see. The positives are many. Get this app — you won’t be disappointed.

Re the reviewer above who complained about the inability to print, a workaround is that you can export your tab to email, then import the tab into Guitar Pro desktop where you can print them out on a PC.

I’m subscriber to MySongBook, Arobas’s excellent tab library. Highly recommended and priced well (during the sales) I would like to be able to cache my purchases because my iPad doesn’t have a data connection, and I need wifi to see the MySongBook scores. That’s a big drawback that needs to be fixed in an update. Perhaps part of their licensing agreement is that the tab must be retrieved only via the Internet so to be stored solely on Arobas servers.

Anyway, MySongbook integration is excellent. I hope Arobas continues that project.
