Great App.. but Minor Problems
mpigsley77
Love how you can import guitar pro files. That was my main reason for buying Reflow, but besides being great at importing guitar pro files there are some annoying problems that need to be addressed. First off the browser is a great way to show all the files, but it needs a delete option and it would be great if we coudl update the information of each file within the browser. Secondly the interface is confusing. It took me forever just to get some ideas down, and everyone knows once a great riff our chord progression hits you, it leaves just as fast. In conclusion, a faster and friendlier interface would be magical. Lastly, there are some things missing from the guitar tab. like bends to another note (there is a bend feature but it doesn't correctly display on the main notation window), hammer-on and pull-off symbols, and also it doesn't allow me to sustain one note from one string and then play other notes after and on top of that ringing note (this is especially annoying because I am an acoustic guitar player and I do this all the time).Anyway just a few problems, and I'm sure they will be fixed in upcoming updates. All in all, it's a great app and so far it is worth the $10.
Fantastic App

I've read the other reviews and can relate where users are coming from, but wanted to share my thoughts on this software along with how I am currenty using it. I am an intermediate guitarist, and find reflow very useful as it does seem to center around guitar and bass a little more than anything else. Though I do read music, the ability to write using guitar tablature (+midi controller) first, or to further study other songs with displayed tablature is just a great thing to have. For the price, reflow is a great option compared to some of the higher end software out there with MOST of the same functions. I find learning songs is that much easier being able to import gp- files from the internet and having reflow as a default program for these files I likewise access on my itouch apps. I love the ability to export creations into midi, and then import those into other software, namely GarageBand, for further sound editing. I'm certainly not at a professional level and am purely a recreational musician, so I find everything I need here…well, almost everything!If I could add anything, I am real big on using midi and would LOVE to have the ability to import midi files INTO reflow, not just gp- files, and not just the ability to export them. I do create a lot of music in other programs like Band-in-a-Box, iReal, (and again, GarageBand) first with keyboard and guitar midi controllers, and would like to have the reverse editing option by getting them into reflow. Other than that, again for the price, reflow is a great piece of supplemental software.
