About This App

Ultimate Guitar - Chords & Tabs is a music reference app that provides access to a vast library of guitar chords, song tabs, and sheet music for popular music across multiple genres. The app lets musicians search for songs, view chord diagrams and tablature, transpose songs to different keys, and use built-in tools like a tuner and a metronome. It includes social features for sharing tabs and contributing to the community library. The app is particularly popular with guitarist of all skill levels, from beginners learning basic chords to experienced players exploring new arrangements.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">Ultimate Guitar - Chords & Tabs is currently distributed as an Intel-only build (as confirmed by the build information from 2020-2021), and there is no evidence of an active native Apple Silicon version. The vendor has not publicly announced plans to release a Universal Binary. Given the lack of recent updates about a native build and the September 2028 deadline when Rosetta 2 is removed from macOS 28, you should contact Ultimate Guitar directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned. In the meantime, the app continues to run under Rosetta 2 on current M-series Macs, but it will stop launching entirely once Rosetta is removed. If Ultimate Guitar does not ship a native build before that deadline, consider alternatives like GuitarTuna (which offers tuning, chords and some tabs and runs natively on Apple Silicon) or browsing tabs through the web-based version of Ultimate Guitar at ultimateguitar.com, which works natively in any modern browser.

I was unable to find reliable information about whether Ultimate Guitar has released a native Apple Silicon version or what the current development status is. The search results returned were not relevant to this app. Given that this is a Mac Catalyst app (bundle ID: maccatalyst.com.ultimateguitar.tabs100) at version 1.0.0, I recommend: (1) Check the Mac App Store directly for any available updates to Ultimate Guitar, as publishers often release universal binary updates without broad announcement; (2) Visit ultimateguitar.com or contact their support to ask explicitly about Apple Silicon compatibility and their roadmap; (3) In the meantime, the web version of Ultimate Guitar (ultimateguitar.com) will work on any Mac through your browser regardless of chip architecture. If you need a native alternative while waiting, consider GarageBand (built into macOS) for chord reference and basic tab viewing, though it's less comprehensive than Ultimate Guitar's database.
