## Review summary

TEFview is praised for being easy to use and feature-rich for learning and practicing music. Users like the tempo control to slow down and speed up pieces, reliable TEF (and MIDI/tab) playback, and strong practice tools like looping and isolating difficult sections. The app provides multiple views—sheet music, tabs, and fretboard—and works well on iPad Pro, making it a go-to resource for banjo, guitar, and other instruments. Some recurring drawbacks include occasional sound/volume issues and occasional file-loading quirks (iCloud Drive and certain tab formats). Overall, a highly underrated practice aid.
