Ultimate-Guitar.com strives to go beyond the status quo as the latest technology develops, which is precisely why the leading tablature site continues to deliver the most advanced apps available on the market. Following its March 2010 release, the wildly popular Ultimate Guitar Tabs app went on to become the number one paid application in the Music Category in the US app store. One year later iPad users reaped in the same essential features of the original app, but with the added benefit of receiving a sleeker HD edition. With the number of Ultimate Guitar Tabs users continuing to grow, the demand has pushed Ultimate-Guitar.com to create an even more user-friendly and visually appealing HD application than ever before for iPad users.
The
Ultimate Guitar Tabs app already provides access to over 300,000 guitar, bass, and drum tablatures, extensive chord diagrams, portrait and landscape modes, Top 100 Tabs Lists, "Favorite" options, and a variety of advanced searches. Through user feedback and the website’s research, the app has undergone a few updates that will enhance iPad users’ interactive experience.
The new features include:
Full-screen layout: While accessing tablature on a mobile device is a benefit in itself, having to horizontally scroll during a playing session can certainly make for a more laborious process. With that in mind, tabs are now formatted to fit the entire screen. Your hands can now be committed to your guitar, bass, or drums rather than continually tweak your mobile viewing screen. By scanning the full-screen layout, you can also easily find the specific chords that you may need to refer to time and again.
Paginal display: In the same vein as the full-screen layout, the paginal display allows you to organize your tabs up in the best possible learning format. Choose to view several pages or only one to meet your situation’s needs, while also having control over the font to make your tabs easy on the eyes.
The latest additions to the Ultimate Guitar Tabs for the iPad will continue to offer the same classic features (read more about the previous update here), as well as updates that were created since the app’s original release for the iPhone and the iTouch. These later updates include the ability to create Playlists in Favorites, improved chord display, and search options for Tabs and Bands in the Favorites section.
Available to be downloaded for free, the Ultimate Guitar Tabs HD app (iTunes link) for the iPad offers auto-renewable subscription packages. Subscriptions cost $1.99 for one month, $3.99 for 3 months, $5.99 for 6, and $7.99 for 12.
