I like it!

A handy app for entering tab when I'm away from my main PC software. After about 30 mins I got the hang of note entry and editing & now I quite like it.
On my wish list would be:

Ability to put text (e.g. Chord names or even symbols) above each bar.
Ability to enter hammer-On's & Pull-Off's.

Looking forward to more developments!

Fantastic

This app is absolutely amazing. I love the piano input and all the different complex notation tools available. I have all three IAPs and I definitely think they are worth the tiny expense. I have never managed to find a mobile musical composition software that even does half the stuff the free version of this does. My only issue is that the playback can occasionally be a bit buggy, eg. not playing a specific note in the piece every time you play it. But aside from that, I don’t see how anyone could ever go wrong downloading this, or regret buying the premium versions!! Thanks SnT!!!

This app has been ruined.

This used to a great app, when I got it about three years ago.
Firstly, (a few years ago) the developers 'updated' the sound library to become 'more realistic', when in fact it used to sound great, but now everything sounds like a muffled, dead tin can. Now I’ll never be able to listen to my compositions how they used to sound every again.
Furthermore, I had created about 15-20 pieces of music, all of which have now been locked so I cannot access them without paying, even though I have already spent money on this app, and I used to be able to access, edit and export them.
I am extremely disappointed in this app, as it used to be pretty decent frankly, and if there was some way to install an older version of the app I would be very grateful if the developers could somehow enable this.
At the end of the day, all I wish is to be able to edit and listen to my compositions which I created before all these awful updates, as I find it quite disingenuous and disloyal to their customer, for the developers to randomly lock all of your own content without notice.
If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it!

Developer Response ,

Hi! Thank you for using Stave'n'Tabs for so long and your feedback! We are terribly sorry for the problems you've faced to!
If you lost your IAPs (e.g. after the update) you can restore them via: Settings tab > Purchases > Restore button. If you experience difficulties with restoring, please, contact us vie email support@staventabs.com.
As for the sound library, it hasn't been changed. We just fixed the issues what broke the playback of specific scores. If you are not satisfied with the playback of your concrete compositions, please, email us with more details, so we could study the problem.
Thanks!
