In their own words
GuitarTab
GuitarTab is a tab player and catalog for guitar, bass, ukulele, and drums, with more than one million tabs and chords. It plays Guitar Pro files in .gp3, .gp4, .gp5, .gpx, and .gp formats using a realistic sound engine. Users can import a SoundFont to change playback and bring in their own tab-file library. Tabs can be downloaded, printed, shared, and edited. Favorites and playlists sync across devices and can be used offline. Practice tools include a chromatic tuner, adjustable BPM metronome, and chords dictionary. The app also provides YouTube search for music videos and lessons; using that feature means agreeing to YouTube’s Terms of Service. GuitarTab is ad-supported and provided at no cost. Its privacy policy says the app currently does not collect personal information, while excluding third-party services from that statement and noting that an Advertising ID may be requested. The policy names AdMob and the YouTube API as third-party services used by the app. GuitarTab is available on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows.
