The last thing someone wants to see after the first time they open a paid app is an option to pay more money for more features. UltimateGuitar does the same thing. Nice app though


No playback, NO HELP!!!
Scott Hz

Seriously, I paid for both pro versions, and their is not one line of help, even when I clicked Application Support from the App Store, it’s just the developer’s totally empty tumblr!! I can’t figure out how to use the chord buttons at all on iPhone. I wanted to indicate chord above tab, had to space all the way from first to third measure?! I’m using the | on all strings to indicate measures, from the dev’s screenshots here, they’re not even interested in that, probably because there’s no playback. This app is really no better than a pen and an a scrap of paper, except this has rudimentary copy and paste.


Tab Builder 3.0 Review

This version of the app will not open any tabs. Hopefully, the developer can resolve the issue or provide a way to back off this version.


Excellent app

I’ve been using Tab Builder for a few years. It’s simple to use and works perfect for noting ideas for future reference or sharing with band mates. I make extensive use of the “add lyrics/ text” (the dot to the left of the tab) to add notes about song structure, chord changes, tempo etc. Added plus is that the developer responded immediately to a question I had after the last update.


Great idea for developers!

Make it where you can click the string and simply type a number instead of all the scrolling.


It works

The app is good for what it is. I rated it down because there is no easy way to print your tabs out. I just need a print button.


Great app need automatic scrolling

I having trying different apps , until now this is my favorite , it could be great it can have automatic scroll, i hope soon came a version with this option.


Great app. Used it for years
knickname?

This is a great app. Simple interface. I have used it for years. Does everything I want it to. Somehow I initially missed the fact that it allows you to enter text. Once I discovered that feature, it truly met all my needs. Developer support (to help me figure out the text editor) was quick and helpful, too.

Tab Builder App is wonderful, I use it to write tab for 5 string banjo, and the app support was very helpful, thank you !


Come on! Where's the playback?!?!?
farmerboy12345678

There really needs to be a way that you can play back what you made so you can make changes and every thing. It is easy to use, but PLEASE add a play button!
