Guitar Notation - Tabs&Chords 4+

Bought the full app. This is the only iPad app I’ve found to write tabs with chords and notes. The interface is mostly good with a couple bugs and some desired features. First the bugs. Notice the audio playback only works through Bluetooth not speakers on iPad w/latest OS. Also noticed you cannot create a D chord in this app - it forces a barre chord across GBE strings.
Now some feature requests. Please add ability to denote hammers and pull-always like “8 p5” or “5 h8”. Please add ability to show finger numbers on chord diagrams above the tab. Please add ability to place text notes above/below or right/left of tab grids to describe techniques. If bugs were fixed and features added this is a 5-star + app!!

So, this app was pretty useful for me for a while when I was just starting out playing guitar, because it was free, although it had limited access. Of course, I felt that was understandable considering it was free. There was a paid version though, like there is now, however the paid version was like 5$ for a one time purchase. After which, you would gain access to the pro version which was offered as an in app purchase. It had been like this for literal years, and I loved it. However, I got on the app today, and suddenly, it essentially just reverted me back to the limited free version, when I had already spent money on the app. All of this, because they wanted to switch to a subscription model, but I had already paid money. I don’t believe this is fair, and I feel like I should be entitled to a refund, or at least get the version back that I had already paid for. Regardless, I’m definitely not paying for a subscription when it can suddenly flip on a dime like this, and I wouldn’t recommend it either.

Imagine you bought something for like 5$ or something like that, because it could’ve honestly been more, and then suddenly, you no longer have access to it, and you have to pay 10$ a month for something you already had. It feels like a slap in the face.

TL/DR synopsis: Pass on this one for now and save yourself the headache.

So I saw this and thought it might be helpful in putting music ideas to paper (or in this case, electrons). I had hopes for this app, but wanted to try it out before committing to any kind of subscription because $10/month is a lot to pay to save paper when I can print tab/staff lines for free and play them on my guiar instead of my iPad. But the free version is practically unusable. I’m unable to change time signatures and I get continuous pop up ads that interrupt my workflow. I don’t mind supporting the dev through ads IF I GET A FUNCTIONING PRODUCT. I get the developers have to earn a return on their investment of time and resources. But this app goes overboard and the bombardment of ads for something so useless is really just a pressure tactic to get you to commit to the subscription. I chose to delete the app instead. If they go to a more functional product with better ad spacing I might reinstall. If the monthly subscription was better priced I also might reconsider. But as it stands, this is an overpriced product at best, and the epitome of frustration due to constant interruptions at worst.
