TabFlow
TabFlow is an interactive guitar tab player for iOS and Android that gives real-time feedback while you play. Interactive Mode listens to guitar playing and adjusts playback speed and timing to follow performance. Playback controls can change speed, loop sections, and isolate parts for focused practice. Musicians can create tabs and edit guitar or drum tabs, using tab or standard notation modes. TabFlow imports Guitar Pro files, exports Guitar Pro 5 format, and supports importing and exporting MIDI. The app is free to download with in-app purchases. Premium costs 7.99 USD once for lifetime access to all features. Apple lists iPhone and iPad support beginning at iOS 17.0 and iPadOS 17.0, while Android availability is through Google Play. An App Store reviewer reports that tempo adjustment is unavailable in the free version. The maker presents TabFlow for learning favorite guitar tabs and working with guitar or drum compositions. The App Store says the developer indicated no data collection, and Google Play reports no collection or third-party sharing.
