Phone Guitar Tab 4.2.0.0
To help those Windows Phone users who want to quickly find and play the tabs for a certain song, there are some specialized tools that can be put to good use and Phone Guitar Tab is among them.
Cool GUI with an easy to use layout
The application has a pretty neat look, featuring some carefully designed graphics and some impressive wallpaper images that are related to the selected artists.
Going through the various sections of the utility has a fluent feel to it, without any delays or glitches of some sort, while the information provided in certain modules is very easy to read, even with the completely transparent background.
A constant nuisance comes from the advertisements that appear inside every section of Phone Guitar Tab and which are constantly changing. Also, on some occasions you will receive some prompts to rate the app.
Fast search and effective tablature viewer
The utility comes with a pretty neat search engine that allows you to look for tabs by band or song name you can also choose the type of tablature to look for.
As soon as you identify the desired track, the ratings will be a good indicator pertaining to the quality of that tab, so you can start the download and in a few seconds view all the details and start practicing.
A neat feature of the dedicated viewer is the ability to automatically scroll the tablature and you can set the desired speed. The integrated player component enables you to listen to the song while following the chords and each tab can be easily pinned to the Start screen for instant access.
Artist info and cloud-based tab synchronization
Phone Guitar Tab allows you to look for tabs by genre, as it has a dedicated area for this purpose, so you can browse the available entries on the go.
However, here you will have to wait a short while until the list of artists loads and some songs cannot be played due to some errors, while others are available only as remixes or covers.
For every selected artist there is a dedicated info area and you can read more details online, following the link at the bottom of that section.
In case you want to make sure your downloaded tabs are safe and ready to be restored quickly, the OneDrive sync feature of this app will surely come in handy.
