Reliable for those who wants to search for chords of every song and genre. Very accessible because you dont have to search the web for chords and tabs. Downside is sometimes whenever you needed it, the server is not responding. Overall, very good, and very cost effective. update: app is now better than before, when you copy the lyrics it will transform into pdf, so you can print it yourself.

it's an amazing app, it's very helpful, clear and helps with getting chords right on every instrument with the little diagrams that are included for free. the only problem is that if you want a better version or want to switch instruments you have to pat for the membership and i hate to admit it but it is quite expensive. but overall i would recommend as most of the features are free. it overall helped me learn new songs in minutes on the guitar. definitely recommended 👌 👍 😌.

Ultimate Guitar used to be the place you could access tablature made by fans for fans, and to share that musical knowledge freely. Now it costs money just to look at stuff. If they just charged money for playback and other fancy extra tools then that would be fine, but making it so that I can't even use the app to see tabs I myself contributed to years ago without paying. That's very sad.
