Tabs, Tabs HD, Tabs pro HD...
Hi guys,
Is anyone in here using one of these? What's the benefit of the app? The ultimate guitar tabs are a free online service. So I wonder if it's worth buying. Which is most useful or do they cover different features?
If I want to do a cover song is there an export option to guide track or chord bot or similar chord assistants?

Yeah, it's a bit perplexing. IIRC, the iPhone app that just gets you access to tabs and your favorites was free, though I may have paid $3.99 or something to unlock pro tabs (so be it). The iPad version is by subscription, though it appears it is like $7.99 a year.
I really like Ultimate Tab, but I couldn't justify a subscription for a free service (even if I spend that many times over on other apps), so I think I use the iPhone app blown up on my iPad.
I use Guitar Pro (both on iOS and OS X), which I prefer because of its quality and consistent interface; everything looks and feels very solid. I can't stand the fixed-font type-written tablature style. Even if the tabs are 100% accurate, it feels amateurish. Personal preference.
Songsterr has been my go to for years now. Highly recommended.

Interesting - I had not heard of Guitar Pro. I just bookmarked it along with Agile Partners' "Tab Toolkit".
Regarding Guitar Pro, the interface looks nice, but what type of library does it have? I agree that Ultimate Guitar Tab is not perfect, but I always felt like it had the deepest library of user-generated tab, and some of those date back to the late 90's, hence the almost "DOS-like" appearance.

If you’re looking for library breadth and depth, UGT has it. What’s great about UGT is they offer tablature in a number of formats: text file tabs and chords, Power Tab Editor (PC only), Guitar Pro, and maybe another couple formats. The problem (as I see it) is with the easier and more numerous formats (read: text files) come lazier, less precise transcriptions. Someone who takes the time to enter transcriptions in Guitar Pro or Power Tab is more likely to put more effort into accuracy.
I’m a stickler for accurate transcriptions, and I like things to be available in standard notation as well as tablature. For me, Power Tab and Guitar Pro are the way to go. Sadly, the former hasn’t been updated in years and isn’t offered for OS X or iOS, making Guitar Pro the obvious personal choice. I do 95% of my tablature work on my MacBook, but it’s nice that I can move things between that and my iPad.
Tabs HD is subscription based and gets you the tab library, chords library and everything that you see on the full site. Tabs Pro HD is also sub based, uses the same one actually, and gets you access to their special formatted tab files. Like a Guitar Pro file really.
My advice is to creat a Songsterr account so that you can find and download GuitarPro files of everything they have and the Guitar Pro app. Within Guitar Pro you can use its browser to go to Ultimate Guitar or Songsterr (create an account, browse to site, click the option at the bottom of the tab you are after to make a revision. This makes the Guitar Pro format file available for you to download into the app) and play anything you want to. Not only will you save money this way but you will be able to create your own tabs as well.
Not to mention that it downloads and stores that tab onto your device for offline use.

Hey. Thanks for sharing your experience. That saved my money. The free online service should do for me.
