Description

TabApp - Take your guitar tabs wherever you go, stored on your device!

One of the best FREE Guitar Tablature applications around.
Take your guitar tabs wherever you go, and search online for the ones that you don't have!

What it does:

- Searches for guitar tabs online (SEARCH BY SONG)
- Views retrieved guitar tabs
- Saves online guitar tabs to phone
- Filters saved tabs by band
- Adds / Edits your own guitar tabs with copy/paste
- Pinchs and zooms tab view
- Phone stays awake in tab view so that it doesn't sleep when viewing and playing
- You can also copy tab files from your pc to sd card

What it doesn't do:

- Guarantee accurate guitar tabs
(tabs are retrieved from an online archive)
- Have ratings or starts for tabs
(The online archive does not have this functionality)
- Does not search "BY BAND". I will look at adding this functionality.

CAVEATS:

- The tab search function searches by "song". I am looking at adding a band search feature in a future version but for now it searches by "song". If you are performing a search using a band name and not getting anything back, this is why. You should be searching "BY SONG NAME".

- There were some early problems across some handsets with force closes. I have upped the android version requirement to minimise the problem as it was associated with earlier versions. Later versions are fine. If you come across a force close please let me know as many details as you can, so I can look to update. I am an active developer and will fix the problem as quickly as I can.

Storage:

When started for the first time, Tabapp Pro creates a folder in the root of your SD card named 'tabapp' where it saves your tabs.

If you are having troubles with the app force closing immediately upon load, please manually create the 'tabapp' folder in the root of your sd card. (For some strange reason a small amount of handsets are not letting the app create this folder)

You can also add your tabs from files on your computer.
Simply paste your tab files (.txt) into this folder with the filenames formatted like this ('bandname_song-name.txt').
Please make sure that you replace the spaces with (-) dashes and seperate the band from the song with an (_) underscore.

I hope you enjoy using this app!
