DO NOT give ultimate guitar a cent of your money. They are a greedy, scum-sucking, predatory company.
I paid for the full version many many years ago. I think it was a whopping $1 or something and I got grandfathered in somehow because I’ve always had full access to everything even though I never bought a subscription.
I got that same deal, but somewhere along the way they started charging me a monthly fee.
It was a huge pain to cancel, because it wasn’t showing anywhere that I’d actually subscribed, so I couldn’t just unsubscribe from the app or website.
Same thing.
To be honest, I don’t even remember paying anything but for some reason everything is accessible.
Same for me. I think i bought the app back in 2017 and have had full access ever since.
I’m in the same boat, but even with that I’m still finding myself avoiding them in favor of songsterr due to the ludicrous number of ads for features I never wanted or asked for in the app. Shockingly, they all cost more money! Who’dve thought
Same here! Many years ago I paid for a lifetime subscription and I really don’t regret it (but only because it was an one-time payment for life).
I swear this whole “use the app” instead approach has become literal cancer.
Use the app, pop ups, auto playing videos/ads, the internet has become incredibly shitty. I went to BBC News (historically a bastion of good web practices) and they now even have a big popup to get you to sign up.
Fuck it, I’m just going to start copying and pasting these onto a github page.
This sounds perfect. I’d gladly drop some tabs into a repo if that was a thing.
Sounds to me like there needs to be an open-source guitar tabs database if there isn’t one already
I NEVER understood them forcing the stupid app on us
Money. It’s always money.
Also easier to get tracking info through installed apps. Ultimately, yes, money.
When a company pushes you towards their official app, it’s almost exclusively so that they can mine more of your data without your explicit consent

Songsterr is pretty good
UG has gotten terrible in their funding funnel. It’s pretty much just a straight drop into a wallet squeeze at this point.
I personally use Songsterr for tablature. It’s a little lacking in the chord chart department but I do really like their tab tools.
It has a monthly sub on desktop but on mobile I bought it once and have kept it forever so your mileage may vary.
You can try to ask in !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com for alternatives, if they’re usually paid. I found alternatives for sites providing piano sheets by asking anyway :)
