TabToolkit for Negative User Reviews
✓ Ok..The app needs the ability to create tabs it'll be awesome.Version: 1.2.5
✓ Only a tab readerThis is a beautiful and functional tab reader but it would be SO much better with the ability to create and save your own tabs. I'm surprised no one has made something like that, and these guys would do the best job of it..Version: 1.2.5
✓ A probemThe ability to play tabbs on your ipod is great but the problem is that I don't have a wireless network so i can't upload any of my tabbs. It would be great if they could make it so that you could transfer tabbs using the cable. It also costs an awful lot of money (13 dollars) especially if you can't play any of your tabbs on it..Version: 0
✓ Tab Toolkit Nose DiveThis app started out to be fairly helpful but some how has degraded into a feeble attempt to sleeze more money out of their customers. There are so many other apps out there that do the same thing better and more honestly : Guitar Pro for one..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Once great, spoiled by the pay only upgradeHave had the app for a while and loved it and built up a library of great tabs. However they have just shot themselves in the foot by upgrading so you now have to pay for tabs from a specific site, meaning the range of available tabs is severely limited to officially sanctioned ones. What a shame! Like most users I will now be looking for another app that allows me to search the whole web . . ..Version: 2.0.2
✓ GoodNice app. Good on the go. Need to be able to play more then one instrument at a time and a realistic sound engine like GP5..Version: 0
✓ Not worth it !!!! Expensive $$$$$Not only do you have to pay for the app you have to buy the tabs also, did not know how expensive playing guitar was.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Rubbish appThis app is rubbish. I wanted to be able to loop my music I already have on iPhone. Waste of money.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Waste of money!They make you spend 3.99 to find out it doesn't come with any tabs worth the money. Hard to navigate and there aren't many tabs to offer..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Unfortunate tab store update.This App was fantastic until they started the tab store. You used to be able to get tabs from the web for free in-app but now you have to pay at their store for lower quality tabs.. DON'T BUY unless you already own guitarpro/powertab and have a collection of tabs to upload..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Lol whut?So this would be cool except you have to buy almost all the tabs. I'd rather just go online and get them for free. Each tab is a 99cents although sometimes they're free.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Needs updates ASAPIt's a very good tool that needs updates, hasn't been updated in 2 years. It's been left for dead. - no iPhone 6 or higher screen support - tab web download is unstable, can't get tabs on..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Still no printing?Was waiting in anticipation for the next update..... But there is still no way to print tabs. So I've dropped my review another star. (down from 3) It's easy enough to add, and I don't know why you haven't done it yet. Instead you decided to add more ways to make money..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Sound is irritatingReally only works if you purchase tab from ta toolkit. Poor selection of available songs. You can down load tab from the internet how ever it is hard to do and why bother? Just use your web browser to view it.Version: 2.0.9
✓ WorthlessThis app is completely unnecessary. The website claims that it will view text tab file formats. The only thing it does is display the text file as a *text file*. You probably already have many ways of doing this, and there are *many* other apps for reading rich formats. If you’re trying to find a good app for viewing text tab files on your iPad or iPhone, look elsewhere..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Dumb app didn't workEverything else on my ipad, does. Deleted.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Trouble ConnectingAt first I had trouble connecting to my computer to download files but that seems to have mysteriously resolved itself. It would be a better program if you could create your own songs right inside the program..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Don't buy. It's pointlessI bought this app before they came out with the store. Now you have to buy all tabs. Big surprise... Ppl desperate to line their pockets with cash. While not as functional, the ultimate guitar app still provides tabs which do NOT have to be purchased..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Needs looping/practice feature.Great program if you just need a place to store/play guitar music. I bought hoping to use it to learn and practice. The feature I hoped was included but wasn't was a looping tool that would let you highlight a section of a song to loop over and over to play along till you get the section nailed down. In other apps you can also set the looping/practice feature to slowly increase the tempo each loop until the tempo reaches 100%. In this app you constantly have to reach down, tap to stop, scroll back to the start of the section you are working on, open the song properties box and change the tempo, and then press play again. Rinse and repeat 20 times per section. :(.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Still selling app but developer(s) not supporting fixing any reported bugsHave loved this app am am extremely disappointed that the developer(s) don’t feel it is worth maintaining it (look and feel changes), and adding some cloud sync option so when there is a problem the user does not loose the 1000’s of song they have entered. Reported a huge bug in June 2021 and developer did not even have the courtesy to get back to me. I like this app better than the Guitar Pro iOS app but seems I might have to migrate to that app even though it is not as good because currently my TabToolkit app is not usable because it crashed and now it only comes up unside down so is unusable on an iPad with a keyboard. To fix problem I probably have to delete app and re-download it. Problem is I will loose the 1000 songs I have imported. Not sure how to recreate all the files and then each song that has a Ukulele as an instrument needs to be manually edited after download because Ukulele comes in as the wrong instrument (Spinosa). If developer reads this please consider maintaining this app..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Business as usually, 99 cent per song, you find out about it after the download.99 cent per score, it adds up, ain't nickels and dimes. You think there would be some group bundle deal. Deleting this app, looking for some desktop software where the over all price is better. You know if you purchased printed material there is a cost for printing, storage, distributing it, middle man retail cost, you got to like gouging prices on Ebook, app Newpapers, app comics, these people are unbelievable over pricing these and laughing. Apple seems to have self appointed themselves the morality police, they seem to have no problem of not having a policy posted up front, before you download an app, it is a pay as you go, this one is the worst. How about 25 songs for 5 bucks. You really want to do business with a app company like this? I am starting to regret doing business with Apple..Version: 2.0.2
✓ DrummerNot Happy! Paid for the app then discover tabs cost $1.29 each, needs a leaf taken out of the Ultimate Guitar Page..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Not worth $10...I own this companies guitar tools app which is awesome so I bought this without hesitation. Now I wish I had my $10 back. What it does it does well, don't get me wrong. But it doesn't do much for $10. This should be a $3 or $4 app tops. I think ITunes should force apps over $4 to have a crippled trial version so you can really see what you're getting before you buy..Version: 0
✓ Fell shortThe slicks looked inviting, and the preloaded content is great, but the tools for managing online content haven't left me inspired. Hopefully this aspect of the app will improve over time. Not worth the price at this stage..Version: 0
✓ TerribleThis app is awful. Only has a handful of songs. You can upload a few of the more popular songs to work with. More of the underground artist where you cannot find tabs online it will just say error or could not be found. Any song you want music or tab for you have to pay an additional fee for (around $2 a song). Most songs you can find tabs for free online. I regret the $4 i spent on this..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Hasn't been updated in yearsDoes not work with new versions of iOS and hasn't been updated in years. DO NOT BUY.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Bug fix neededGenerally have loved this app but have been having a problem when I go to download some tab from a tab website. As soon as I land on a website the app randomly gives me a “Successfully downloaded and installed message” labeling this new ‘tab’ f_##. When I then go to open this new tab it’s gibberish. Have uninstalled and reinstalled and the problem remains. This will become a deal breaker and will result in me no longer using this app and no longer recommending it. Bug fix please..Version: 2.0.9
✓ This app doesn’t work on iPhone XStunned that’s it’s even in the App Store - it won’t even open on my iPhone and repeated messages to the developer on their website have just been ignored. Just wish I could give it 0 stars.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Lyrics and chords?I got this app to learn songs to play in a band. I sing and play rhythm guitar so need chords and lyrics. Before I bought the app I checked if it did these things and sure enough in screenshot 1 you can see lyrics and in screenshot 4 you can see chords. However none of the built in songs have either and I've yet to download a chord pro song through the clumsy web interface that does have them. Also the midi instrument sounds are inexcusably amateur. Give it a miss..Version: 1.2.3
✓ UselessDon't waste your money. Progression is better. Hasn't been updated for two years. No chord diagrams. Useless. New Tabs never updated. Very disappointed. Don't see any updates for two years..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Good app. Tab DL brokenI've used this app for years and it was an amazing app worth 5 stars and the price, but the dl browser is broken. Keeps saving random junk/ gibberish files constantly on any search engine and sites are incredibly slow to load. The actual program is good and previously could find any tab online easily (please fix this and return this app to its former 5 star glory). Sound is as good as any comparable program, touch controls are well done, can auto detect and save text tabs which is a brilliant feature and has many adjustment features for the player tab files. It is very comparable and very reminiscent to GP programs ive used through the years though has the failing of not being able to edit or create tabs..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Garbage!I can't believe this, you actually have to spend money on tabs?? What a joke. First off this app was in the $5-$10 range when first purchased and was only mildly useful, and now it's $1 per tab!??! You can be sure you won't be seeing another penny from me and I strongly suggest everyone do the same. If you have a game console go buy rocksmith. It's this app X1000 with tons of songs to learn and more to download that are the same price as this. Truly dissapointed, you guys are stunting the growth of thousands of budding guitar players.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Time for an update!This is so sad. This was my go to tab app since it was first published. Now there are too many bugs and is not worth my patience. Stay away from buying this app unless they update it some time soon!!.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Good but....I used to love this app until something happened that made me unable to down guitar pro and power tab off of UG website. Also, it would be awesome if there was a looping function, instead of having to manually returning to what section you wanted to play every time. If the downloading is fixed I will love this app again. If the looping is added, i would thoroughly enjoy this app..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Great for what it isThis app needs to be updated badly. The download browser is slow, unresponsive and glitchy. Iphone 6 support needs to be added badly. However I found that the local ip download method works incredibly well and the actual tab viewer works amazingly. Some editing features would be a nice addition as well.Version: 2.0.7
✓ Okay but “download tabs” is brokenThis app has potential to be really good, BUT, ... The tab store is very limited and quite expensive compared to other options. The “download tabs” via web browser function is broken. When Googling it will download non-existant tabs, named f_1, f_2, …. If I try to download a Guitar Pro tab from my DropBox, TabToolKit refuses to do it. If you try to download a Guitar Pro tab from ulimate-guitar.com it works fine as long as you don’t have the Ultimate Guitar app installed. If installed, the browser will open that app rather than giving the file to TabToolKit. The “download tabs” feature also has some annoying user interface design warts, even when it does work. TabToolKit would be a great app if only I could easily get tabs into it..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Really?Overpriced, and when there's finally a notable update - it's you pushing .99c tabs at me? And I'm going to pay you for them because you formatted other people's (free) work to suit your own app?.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Slick, but incompleteI have three tab apps on iPad, and this one is the slickest by far WITH Guitar Pro tab files (various versions supported). The score scrolls (speed variable) with the notes highlighted on the score, the notes appear in position on the fretboard or keyboard, plays multiple tracks/voices... very cool. The app supports uploading / downloading tab files from the computer. But Guitar World has not gone the whole way, and offered easy download from a library of free (nice!) or low-cost Guitar Pro tab files from its web site. You buy the expensive Tab Toolkit app, and you're soon wondering what to do with it! Searching on the web for tab files produces a few. I found just text-only files on Guitar World's web site, and for those this app offers NO BENEFIT AT ALL, save your money. Elsewhere on the web there are lots of promises of Guitar Pro tab files, but they seem to be offered the way free porn is offered (I hear!) ... lots of offers, not much given away. If you have a good library of Guitar Pro tab files already or know where to get one, or if you have Guitar Pro software and are willing to make your own tab files, buy the Tab Toolkit app, you'll be very pleased. Otherwise, save your money... within half an hour you'll find you have nothing to do with it!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Used to be a great appIt would seem as though the developers have abandoned this app. There have been no updates in about 2 years. The browser doesn't run as well as it used to. It is very slow. Save your money for an app that will be supported in the future - and that runs well on IOS 9. I've given it 3 stars because the tab player still seems to work well. However, getting new tabs is difficult due to the extremely slow browser. Please update it..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Very SlowPaid lots for this app and is very slow to search and download songs ... very disappointing ... not worth it..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Severly outdated appApp is outdated so i removed my previous review since i believe it may lead to buyers purchase the app that may not work properly on their current version of ios due to it not being optimized..Version: 2.0.9
✓ HdugudCan't believe I paid for this....should put songs on for you automatically with the fretboard on downloaded songs....rip off should be 1.19.Version: 0
✓ &$@&'n sweet appBrilliant is all I gotta say. You can DL power or guitar pro tabs. You can listen to individual tracks ( guitar, vocals, etc ) or the whole band. Varying formats to view the music is cool. Will give a five star rating when there is a loop function added. Repeatedly sliding bar back to start of section that I'm learning gets rather annoying. The browser is lite on any frills but it works unlike other apps that need u to use the computer. Great for musicians on the go. My rating went down from four stars because still no loop function..Version: 1.2.4
✓ UnsupportedIt looks like the app is no longer supported and hasn’t been updated in years. It’s basically useless now..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Good for viewing tabs on iPadIf you have an iPad, Tab Toolkit is a good app for viewing any of the enormous wealth of completely free guitar pro tabs out there. You can download tabs directly from the net (just google for "free guitar pro tabs" there are plenty of sites). In earlier incarnations of Tab Toolkit, I had trouble with power-tab format files, but guitar pro format seems to work just fine, with minor caveats. Playback works for very simple scores. But when notation gets complex (e.g. repeats ), the playback makes mistakes. This is probably dependent on the format of tab being played. I have not purchased any of the tabs in the store, but I expect they probably play back more accurately. The store selection feels limited and stocked with primarily pop and rock..Version: 2.0.3
✓ ReviewAlright app, only downloads tabs from certain sites, but definately not worth $13, regret buying.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Rip offPaid for this when all tabs were included, now I have to pay more to see what used to be free??? Or really what I paid for initially!!!.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Not fit for market!If you look at what this app does it's a great, simple idea that is an excellent addition to the Guitar Toolkit, which I have and love. Unfortunately while the pre-loaded demo tabs show that the app works fine, I have not been able to use either method provided to add new tabs. Direct downloads of Guitar Pro format tabs from the web, just spin for ages and then stop with no file added. Using the local port 3000 web server to upload from a laptop to the iPhone causes TabToolkit to quit (crash?) on the phone and sends a connection lost message to my MacBook. (And yes both devices were on the same wireless network) If you can't add new tabs this is a very expensive demo. It's useless! Don't buy until Agile Partners fix this. It should have never been released in its current condition!.Version: 0
