Tab Builder App Reviews

I like that I can finally create tabs on mobile device but this app missing a few things that would make it much better. Here are several: Should use a monospaced font (like courier) so exported tab alignment isnt distorted. Should be able to add repeats, 1/4 1/2 3/4 Full bend symbols, long slides, tremolo etc. Change number of strings for bass & guitar. Export options (Tabtoolkit & GuitarPro would be very useful). When adding lyrics would be better if they insert at your cursor position instead of left. Just a few of my initial observations. Could be a great tool and Im looking forward to future updates.

Mid-way through my song it crashes and I lose everything.Please fix!!

The Good: 1) tabs can be created and edited with this program. 2) Limited export options are available. 3) it is not, nor should it be, costly. The Bad: 1) Tab entry is very cumbersome. 2) There is no playback mode. 3) As aforementioned, export is limited. PDF can be scanned into Finale but exporting to GPX or other tab editor format would be more helpful. 3) Forget about note dynamics and effects - ghost, dead, grace, staccato, vibrato and most others ad nauseum cannot be entered. In all fairness, they do have a P, B, H and a /. They are located on a spinning wheel, which also includes a Blank, and X in addition to the numbers from 0 to 22. Place six of these spinning wheels together and dial away. Lets hope that you can enter a tab in a reasonable amount of time. I found it a nightmare. 4) There are separate screens for note tabs and chord tabs. Navigation between the two seemed galumphing. 5) There is quite a bit more to this programs hollowness, but let me end this critique by summarizing what you have already gathered, if you read the above: In my humble opinion, this programs function as a tab building and editor is rather limited and if it were being sold for free, it would still be a bit overpriced. 6) Just one more caveat; note duration is not addressed.

Overall this is an amazing app. The ability to tab out things on the fly is crucial to any guitarist. 1. Please add in a play tab interface/system where you are able to hear the tab you have made. 2. add a home page where you can easily select create new tab or edit old tab or use a current one. Now the only bug I have experienced is the crashing here and there. If there could be a bug fix patch as well that would be sweet.

I love the fact that I can tab out a song on the fly. But but a would be awesome if I could here what I play. So I can hear what I write. For cases like when I cant play my guitar on a road trip

I love this app it makes trading song ideas back and forth very easy. A little slow using it at first but the more you use it the faster you get. One suggestion: the ability to create 7 and 8 string tabs. Other than that it doesnt need to change.

Im When you need to write down the guitar notes of a song youre working on and dont want to worry about logging in to an online site and dont want all the bells and whistles of most tab creation apps, this is the way to go. All it does is tab creation and thats all I needed. My only complaint is the dark background. And I wish you could make the tab bigger. Its really hard to see and read the tab youre making. I have to quit playing and get right up to it to see it EVEN with glasses on!

Id really like to see a function to change the number of strings. Like 3 strings for a cigar box guitar, 4 for a ukulele, etc.

Simple and easy to use. Well worth the money. Could do with a chord Input keys on the keyboard. Music stave would be ideal. Would be the only app to have all 3 functions.

Not a massive amount of functionality, but good enough for what I want to use it for, which is jotting down some quick and dirty tabs while I have my guitar in one hand and my ipad in the other. I like being able to define my own chord or note sequences and being able to insert them quickly. I havent figured out how to delete unwanted saved tabs though, and cant find instructions online. Paid for itself first time out just for the convenience, because I used to do all this on a piece of scrap paper.

VERY BASIC. NICE RIFF ENTRY SLIDER INTERFACE. COULD BE GOOD TO GET A RIFF DOWN SO YOU DONT FORGET IT. NO WAY TO ENTER TEXT FOR LYRICS ON IPHONE VERSION NO HAMMER ON OR OFF, BENDS, ETC. NO TIME SIGNATURE CAN ENTER SPACES (RESTS) BUT CANT SET HOW LONG.

Works for tab well, and is simple enough.
