Given its nearly 2017 and that multiple sync technologies have been on all the major platforms (iOS, Android, OS X, Windows, etc) for years now, it would seem to me that GP should really move some sort of syncing solution up to the front of the development queue.Īlthough not a true sync option, the existing local file server – the “From a computer” option – looks like it could be made to suffice. All manual, all one file at a time, all pretty painful. The current options we have seem pretty stone age to me. Given the lifecycle of technology, I think it is a foregone conclusion that at some point all of us will need to at least replace a device, and will therefor need a way to get our GP files from one device to another. Like some of the other posters here, I have multiple devices (iPads, iPhone, MacBook). and there’s no way to edit them with the app ? come to think of it, up and down arrows would be cool to ‘tap’ through tracks. users could have folders on their mobile device for favourite songs or practice files (like scales, chords, etc) back and forward buttons would be nice for browsing through files e.g. – if one wants edited tabs they must be e-mailed? wtf true? –explanation: top to bottom: -tab edit area, under that, -controls for note length, etc, movement controls, tempo, etc, -under that, fretboard. – would make sense to be able to use a fretboard to edit using the fret board instead of the number inserts and the existing left, down, up, right buttons to edit with. – also would be nice if one could choose vertical or horizontal screen tablature layout – there should at least be a sizing option – not enough space/area to edit even on 4/4 bar at a time – why must it go to the beginning of a tab once it is finished playing? should at least be an option, or, rather just leave it at the end if it is not to be user definable – should be able to choose at least one or two accompaniments i.e. – can’t view more than one track in player – should be able to export to gpx, gp5 and text, at least – can’t save ‘notes’ to mobile location (ie can’t save tab files to folder on device)
Here’s a list of app ‘issues’, I made this in 2014, granted there may have been updates, but I’ll just post it anyways:P
It took me about 20 minutes (before arriving here) to find out how to get files off of my phone xD In my opinion GP6 took something simple and over-complicated it, in the case of the app, over simplified unnecessarily restrictive.
I regret buying the app, haven’t used it in AGES (I’ve used GP5 for years – I find GP6 cumbersome), I thought it would be nice to have a ‘portable tab program’… Pen and paper wins out, to me. It would be (WAY) easier to be able to drag and drop files, a la flash drive. Now you have no excuse not to make progress! ? Thanks to these simple methods, you can now access your favorite Guitar Pro tabs wherever you go.
Be sure to place your files in the folder named “ Android/data//files” on your Android device.
