Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the software for its excellent user experience, finding it intuitive, easy to learn, and a powerful tool for transcribing, arranging, and practicing music. Many highlight its usefulness for writing notes and tabs for various instruments, creating backing tracks, and its overall robust and straightforward functionality. People appreciate the clean and intuitive display, the helpfulness of the software in improving their playing, and the valuable features it offers for both learning and composition. However, some customers expressed dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the app and its quality. A few users found specific actions, like selecting bars or panning volume, to be tedious and difficult. There were also mentions of the app crashing on Windows 11 and limited sounds compared to older versions. Some reviewers were disappointed with the lack of a full version for tablets, the limited text options, and the difficulty in adjusting measure markings. Additionally, some felt the sound quality was poor and desired the ability to integrate audio tracks with drum, guitar, and bass plugins for more realistic sounds.

The first song I try is help me

The first song I try is help me, by Joni Mitchell. The title says help me guitar / vocals. I open it up and there is piano. No guitar. I press the tablature button. It says no tablature is attached.

Hello,

Sorry to read that, however there is a misunderstanding.

We confirm this score "Help Me" by Joni Mitchell includes the tablature for the guitar track (as for any mySongBook title available).

It seems you did not consult the guitar track, but the vocal track which can represented by a keyboard on the mobile application.

The tablature is also available for the vocal track but with Guitar Pro 8 (not the mobile application).

GP8 is Great

Using GP8 is like having a personal instructor available 24/7 to play along with. Each time I think it's the best it can be, I learn a new feature that makes it even better.

Perfect software

There are some bits of software that just feel perfect. Guitar Pro is one of them. As a guitar player of 21+ years, I finally succumbed to Guitar Pro 8 six months ago whilst trying (and failing) to learn some Mike Dawes arrangements. The rich feature set, incredible annotations and playback tools helped me immensely, and I got the tracks down. Easily, easily worth the money for any guitarist that enjoys learning (which should be all guitarists)

I find it very difficult to use it

I find it very difficult to use it. Granted I'm not tech savvy but I was told it was very good for beginner guitar players, I gave up can't work it at all. So it didn't turn out to be very good for this beginner guitar player.

Pretty gnarly app except for attached song file quality

The app is really great with excellent features however the quality of the songs when attached (especially when bpm / pitch altered) is quite bad. Many other apps are able to accomplish this with the introduction of significantly less artifacting. Resolving these issues would absolutely get a 5 star rating from me.

Nice to play along

I rated it 3 starts due to a bug after update, but seems like I maybe had something wrong with my setup or an update fixed the noise issue when playing along with a guitar.

Importing audio files and syncing them, is the game changer

Guitar Pro 8 is a great tool. My primary use case is transcription. Since I have a lot to practice on the songs I just transcribed I would appreciate it if I could import more than one audio file, to have the stems separated by another tool as individual tracks. Further muting or soloing of the individual tracks would enable Me to gain the most value in transcribing and practicing.

Not perfect but if getting better is the goal- this will help

I really like it, but it still needs to have better samples of instruments. It still sounds electronic and fake. Guitar sounds fake/keyboard like. But it has gotten better and keeps getting better. The pages are a little complicated to navigate. Could use some design with keeping it simple on the surface and more options as you immerse yourself.
But overall I’ve really enjoyed it and feel like it is helping me improve!

App is unpredictable and crashes often. Unlike GP5 who almost never had this issue.

I finally upgraded to Guitar Pro 8 as I have been using GP5 and 4 for 20+ years. This is a huge mistake and i fully regret getting the 8. It KEEPS CRASHING. As i hit the play button the app becomes unresponsive. It is very unpredictable but extremely annoying. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!

Sorry to read that, we strongly invite you to contact our Technical Support. The crashes you report can have different root causes based on your setup and current configuration, but more than likely these crashes are not caused by Guitar Pro 8 which is very stable as long as you use a compatible operating system and respect these minimum requirements:

Guitar pro is one of the best software ever to learn and practice guitar or keyboard, I am familiar with GP since GP4 and have seen the developments on the program then and now, I am greatfull for being part of GP community over a decade, I couldn't be a professional musician without GP, good luck to you guys and GP needs to be more natural every version of it do your best I wish you the best,
Kind regards,
GP lover ❤️.
