Ultimate Guitar Reviews 

Been with Ultimate Guitar since 2015 and it is the best thing I have ever subscribed to. I use it almost everyday. It is a great resource for learning new material, to see how things are played and to play along with to practice timing.

Really like the range of songs and the possibilities eg
Transposing, chord grids, printable version and of course guitar tabs.

Accurate tabs and easy to use interface. Good tunner too!

Probably the best resource I’ve come across

It has almost every song available scored for any instrument. Allows you the ability to change the root note and hear the song. There were times that I couldn't find the music I was looking for, but it was only a few.

I really love Ultimate Guitar. I use it for almost a decade now. Always fun and helpfull.

had stopped playing music for a while and came back to it recently. absolutely everything is behind a paywall now. these are user contributed tabs, are the users getting paid for their work? every time i open the app now, it gives me ads for features that aren’t relevant and i will never use. it’s just sad. it used to be the best website for tabs and now it’s all garbage. even the email asking me to write this review, instead of opening up the link itself, repeatedly redirected me to the app and threw ads in my face. you can’t possibly expect me to write a good review after that

I use it all the time - but 4 stars because there's some material that's not covered

Very good crowd sourced collections of transcriptions embedded in a good environment where you can transpose, see chords etc

Great app, saves me on a lot of gigs. Only downside is it fails to load sometimes

I've been a member for many years. It was the difference between learning or quitting. I've recommended it to all my musical friends. Many have joined.

It gives one access to every genre of songs, with great features, that suits every level of guitarist. It's versatility is immense and I've been very satisfied with what I've experienced through the years and the features just keep getting better!

Being able to transpose and adjust scroll speed are great features!

My favorite guitar tab site of all time! Have been a member for years and the site is full of high quality tabs for every song/band one could imagine

Shocking treatment, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
I am a recovering stroke survivor trying to learn Guitar as part of my rehab, I am sixty four years of age, Dyslexic following my stroke and I do struggle. 7 day free membership has turned into a week of emails with Sergey Larin, Anna, and others who are all refusing any refund., I have got absolutely nowhere, Ultimate Guitar not only took one full years membership from me £99.95 but they had the arrogance to take two payments of £99.95 through Paypal, Paypal wont play ball, Ultimate Guitar are saying "TOUGH COOKIE PAL", Read the T&Cs. Result, a 64 year old stroke survivor on very limited income has spenT over 35 emails and hours on the phone trying to get through, I am now off to Trading standards and the City of London Police fraud office, DO NOT USE ULTIMATE GUITAR, This is a scam set up, DO NOT USE THESE GUYS.

Absolute scam with their subscription model, not notifying customers of reoccuring subscriptions, replacing a cancellation with a 'pause' without any notice or visible clues and then robbing money off their customers.
Avoid at any cost!

As other reviews here have mentioned, very similiar experience with billing before trial. I wanted to try the 7day trial before an annual sub. However i decided to disable my autorenew and cancel the sub the next day, however i was already billed for full yearly price.

Reached out to customer support for refund, allegedly due to company policy they can only refund the difference between a monthly and yearly sub. Since I was not properly informed in compliance with EU digital consumer law and my 14 day withdrawal period as not been applied correctly, I am requesting a full refund, hopefully this can be resolved without escalation to ECC-net or other EU bodies.

Put in my request with customer support, currently awaiting response.

Edit 1: Transactional email clearly states that billing will occur on 24/1/26 for yearly amount after the clearly mentioned 7 day trial. However I was already billed on 16/1/26 - 8 days in advance. Customer service is still refusing to process a refund, despite clearly violating their billing information.

I was charged for an annual renewal on Jan 15 without any prior email notification. When I exercised my legal EU Right of Withdrawal (Directive 2011/83/EU), support refused, citing internal terms that contradict EU consumer law. I have opened a dispute with PayPal and the European Consumer Centre.

This type of anti-consumer behavior is simply unacceptable. Steer far, far away from this company!

Update:
I did eventually end up getting a refund through the community manager. I am keeping the score the same, since this is clearly a support policy, and could have been solved within a day instead of taking 2+ weeks.

My wife, who has Parkinson's Disease with Dementia, had subscribed to Ultimate Guitar several years ago. She is now in a Memory Care facility and can no longer play her guitar or piano. I have her Power of Attorney. I recently noticed a $39.99 charge to her credit card for an automatic renewal of my wife's subscription that she cannot use and that was not previously visible to me. UG has refused to refund that charge, citing the conditions made at time of sale. The same issue will likely come up with a dead person. This, in my opinion, is unethical.
