TabToolkit 4+

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!

Some reviews here seem to be of the mistaken, yes mistaken, belief that once you buy this app you also need to buy tabs from the tab toolkit tab store. Those people need to dig a little more before posting erroneous reviews. The fact is, you CAN buy tabs if you want, from an in-app store that's been added but there's nothing that says you have to. You can still use the inbuilt web browser to find free tabs on the net just like you ALWAYS could. The tab store is an added OPTION. I really wish people would criticize apps legitimately instead of showing their own inability to be thorough since there are enough apps out there that do need it. This ain't one of them! I've had it for a while and the developers have continued to update it and make it better over the years. It's solid, stable and I use my iPad all the time to learn tabs now. Much better than a desktop when you can put the iPad on a stand. Keep up the good work!

Why would I title my review with a line like that... Well I can't think of a bigger compliment than that. I am a guitar teacher so I may be biased and have vested interest in a product like this but after downloading stacks of music, drum and guitar apps, tuner apps and multi track apps - this is by far the most useful. I am an avid Guitar Pro 5 user and was considering purchasing one of those mini laptops to take with me - not any more!!! This app can load Guitar Pro 3, 4 and 5 files with ease. This morning at work, I was doing my ritualistic check for app updates and then, up pops TabToolkit with a MAMMOTH Guiness Book of Records update now providing multiple instrument playback along with many other goodies. So... I got home at wirelessly loaded 340 Guitar Pro files onto my iPhone from the laptop, and I'm now a very hapy chappy. Thanks team at Agile Partners for a brilliant app and it has made we want to buy GuitarToolkit now. Damian from Perth, Western Australia.
