It has a paywall over a lot of features I don’t think should be paywalled. transposing and autoscroll requires a subscription, which is absolutely goofy. I could put up with it just fine until now, but they added video ads for the subscription that force you to watch them for like 10 seconds before you […]

It’s over 3 months and several updates later now and all my android devices keep crashing while trying to watch (or switch between) ‘Shots’… whereas my devices had all previously worked flawlessly! I can’t believe this is only happening to me! I had liked this app a lot… Ok… after a good six months or […]

Ultimate guitar used to be a good service. Unfortunately, this app is pretty much unusable now with how many ads they’ve put in. You genuinely can’t do anything in this app without it asking you to pay for pro. I don’t even usually write reviews, but I’m just so tired of having to wait 3 […]

I have had this app for several years, purchased it when it was a different name. This was a good app with reasonable customer support at that time…. Now, there is no option for support within the app itself. Also, in the past, I have been able to send a chord sheet from the app […]

Terrible experience. I was told to download the app after trying it online. it had zero functionality, and said I’d have to open it in the app. I downloaded the app, spent a while configuring it and answering questions, finally got to the point l started at, only to discover… zero functionality unless I buy […]

Every time I open the app, it shows an unskippable full-screen survey (ad) that makes me click through several screens before I can access the app. I’ve finally had enough. Here’s your 1-star rating. Fire whoever’s idea it was. And to any musicians reading this, I highly recommend checking out the Songsterr app instead. The […]

I am honestly shocked and disappointed at what they have done. I PAID for pro. I did that to get ad-free access to tabs and chords, including premium ones. As well as premium features. and now the app constantly shows unskippable popup ads. I paid for this. I should not be given popup unskippable questionnaires […]

I do not want a “personalized experience” that you can’t opt out of! I just want to look up a song, see the chords and get on with it! I don’t want your terrible AI features pushed down my throat. I’ve been using Ultimate guitar for 15 years and it has gone so downhill. Do […]

More bugs …. So last week, I contacted support because if I edit my tabs on my laptop, it wasn’t populating the edits to the mobile app. I cleared cache, data, closed out, logged out/in, no good. The solution ended up being to uninstall/reinstall the app, per support. Well, again this week, still the same […]

This is app is useful to an extent. Unless you want to pay for it monthly then you get the worst version of the song and you cant even get a good explanation on it without signing up to pay for it. I use ut and it has taught me a bit but its really […]

selected the free trial. hated the app. tried to cancel free trial and couldn’t. got charged $69.99 to a card that ISN’T EVEN ON MY GOOGLE ACCOUNT! Tried to cancel the subscription, it says I don’t have one, yet I have been charged. I am now trying to find a phone number so I can […]

As others have commented about the subscription push when onboarding, I have a new Google Pixel XL and cannot tap the tiny X in the top left of the subscription page so I can’t use the app. Bummer. My “work around” was to sign up for the trial and then immediately cancel it. Perhaps that’s […]

I have used this app for over 3 years. In that time, it has only gotten worse. Less optimized, more ads trying to get you to pay for their subscription. I don’t need the subscription, I don’t play guitar or piano. Now they added an advert with a timed x before you can even look […]

I used to love this app. It was 15$ when I first started using it. It did everything I needed. Now it’s gone up to 25$, and honestly, I’m not even sure what for! I can’t share or print. Apparently, this simple service is an additional 40 dollars. It doesn’t scroll right, and it doesn’t […]

Update 10/1/2024 I have now deleted, unsintalled on my phone, Samsung tablet, Apple tablet, computer. Every. Single. One. Freezes and can’t be used – yet I’m still paying monthly. I have a video if you don’t believe me of all the devices that previously worked before the update. Update : 9/28/2024… Apps still crashes and […]

I’ve used this app for almost a decade, and while it’s a must-have for looking up chords, I have gotten increasingly frustrated with how glitchy/laggy it can get (and the constant marketing, even with a pro subscription). I paid for pro – I just want something that works. I just got a new phone and […]

You can’t do anything unless you pay their monthly fee. Also, I couldn’t even find the app to uninstall it, I had to find it on Play store. It wasn’t showing up in my apps section on my phone. Also, on top of that, it was listening in on my text messages with friends, with […]

Good app for learning. The tabs are accurate, the MIDI covers make learning smooth, and the fact that you can learn almost every instrument in a song is great. However, when opening newly published official tabs, I’m unable to access them for weeks on end sometimes. Every time I try, it says that the tab […]

Downgraded from 5 to 2 stars. Every time I open this app, I’m bombarded with a game of 50 questions and a sales pitch. I ignore whatever it is they’re trying to sell, all it does is frustrate me and waste time. Also, make the tuner easier to find! I’m trying to teach a child […]

As a player of guitar, bass, and drums, I love this app. You pretty much need to get the subscription to do anything, but it’s totally worth it and has so many songs to choose from! The only issue is the search function is picky about what you type in, a single misspelling or lack […]
