Even worse, if you complete the registration you have to use that shitty app

    I don't know why it takes 45 seconds every time it needs to update the screen.

    It's really bad if you have a long list of saved tabs.

    Yeah they've got me locked in cause I've been using the site for 20 yrs now. Hate how bad the app has gotten.

    Same boat here. Don't get me started. First of all, they originated back then by collecting all the community-made tabs, and then they turned around and made them their propietery content. So there are no good alternatives that have "all" the tabs. Assholes.

    And the app... It's so bloated, slow, and crash prone. It should be simple to do well.. It just needs to display literal text, and save a list of them for me. But every tap takes anywhere from 2-10 seconds to take effect. And don't tap anything while it's loading, because those taps will be queued up and take effect all at once on the next screen. I have a giant list of saved tabs and there's no way to group or sort through them, unless I wanted to manually organize them into playlists and keep them up to date. So I'll be scrolled way down the list, which takes minutes to get back to, and it crashes. They keep adding features no one asked for, and constantly begging for money. Even though I paid for it many years ago. I hate this app so much.

    I'm slowly moving my collection over to Songbook Pro. It isn't perfect, but you can search ultimateguitar's tabs and save them locally.

    It's incredible how quickly it loads a page of text (when comparing to UG's pathetically terrible app experience). And I've never had it CTD because I dared to open a saved song.
