Pros and cons of Jam Maestro: create guitar tab app for iPhone and iPad

Jam Maestro: create guitar tab app good for

this is an amazing tool for writing music on the guitar, bass and drums. so many features. better than most tablature programs on the pc, just get it!
I find this app decently priced & a Great All-around app. I highly recommend it !! There is a "Lite" version, if you wish to try it out first. ( I tried that version first, but it didnt take me long to Upgrade to This Version. Thank you to the Developers, you made a Great App - Cheers ®
A very robust app it is, with enough functionality to create great things. The learning curve is minimal relative to what you can do. Perry
Im literally in tears writing this haha Youve made such an intuitive app why do you not expand its capabilities? its pretty damn flawless already i guess
Im loving this app! Good work! Please add next update sustainiac guitar (sustain) thank you...
Within minutes (and the tutorial) I was tabbing out lead parts for songs that Ive had laying around for years. Really Excited about this app. Must have for ANY songwriter!

Some bad moments

If I spent a dollar in this app I at least want to know how to bend and slide it didnt show where that feature is or if they even have it
The sound library is very nice and I also appreciate having instruments like bass, drums etc. But as long as important features like dead-notes, slides, hammer-on, pull-off, bends, triplets, volume control are missing, the software isnt really useful for guitar players.
When I try to export the tab by selecting "export to tab" the app crashes. Lapp va in crash quando provo ad esportare la tablatura. On ipad2.
Inner app features plus dope guitar sounds equals me being able to compose from bed, get some ideas down without going through the motions of setting all my gear up... Its nice. Convenient. A lot nicer than I was expecting.
While there are a lot of tab players its hard to find a good editor until now. There is a learning curve but once you have it down this is second to none.
The midi function is really fun for me, someone who primarily thinks about music mathematically or as notes on a piano, (or ewi more times than not). Keep the updates comin, they are great.
