Pros and cons of TabToolkit app for iPhone and iPad

TabToolkit app good for

Due to the price this wasnt an easy purchase, but the app is really worth it. A great help for practicing the guitar, thank you. With AirPrint support it would be perfect.
Love it. Great tool & lots of fun at the same time. Thank you.
An absolute must have for beginners and advanced users. Interface with ultimate guitar could be better, like the ability to search directly from within the app without having to load the actual web page. All in all, Highly recommended.
HIGHLY recommended for all guitar, bass, and even piano players! I definitely love TapToolKit, and totally worth the money. I find the interface very sleek and fast, i love how I can click on a gp5 tab and it will load super fast! The instrument sounds are really nice too. Excellent job. Now, a challenge for Agile Partners: Will there be TabEditing in the future? Hopefully the answer is Yes! Awesome app!
This has been a great way to learn guitar. I completely recommend this for any musician!
Makes life easier!! Its awesome how you can use guitar pro tabs files!!! You can view individual tracks and mute mute individual tracks playing! Super great addition to my music apps.

Some bad moments

Payed full price and enjoyed the app for years, shocked to see that tabs must now be payed individually. All my favorites over the years are gone and the app is rendered useless.
this is actually a great app and it pains me to rate it 1 star. but without GP6 supports this app is just useless to me... when it gets gp6 support itll be a 5 star app! also I wish u could do some quick editing on the go with the app dunno if its possible..
I used to love this app until something happened that made me unable to down guitar pro and power tab off of UG website. Also, it would be awesome if there was a looping function, instead of having to manually returning to what section you wanted to play every time. If the downloading is fixed I will love this app again. If the looping is added, i would thoroughly enjoy this app.
Brilliant is all I gotta say. You can DL power or guitar pro tabs. You can listen to individual tracks ( guitar, vocals, etc ) or the whole band. Varying formats to view the music is cool. Will give a five star rating when there is a loop function added. Repeatedly sliding bar back to start of section that Im learning gets rather annoying. The browser is lite on any frills but it works unlike other apps that need u to use the computer. Great for musicians on the go. My rating went down from four stars because still no loop function.
So this would be cool except you have to buy almost all the tabs. Id rather just go online and get them for free. Each tab is a 99cents although sometimes theyre free
This App was fantastic until they started the tab store. You used to be able to get tabs from the web for free in-app but now you have to pay at their store for lower quality tabs.. DONT BUY unless you already own guitarpro/powertab and have a collection of tabs to upload.
