Get directly into app possible?

Get directly into app possible?

I have a paid subscription (UG Pro), my Ultimate Guitar app and my iphone OS are fully up to date, I attempt to use the UG app frequently (a few times a week) for guitar chords/tabs.

Every time, and I don't mean most of the time, I mean every single time I open the app to use it I have to go through a series of multiple choice questions. Most I have already answered many, many times and others that I don't care to answer.

Ultimately, these questions then lead to trying to sell me something. I don't pay any attention to what it is, vocal lessons or some other crap I don't want. Today it appeared to be some books.

I have Googled how to get the app to go directly to the chords/tabs I am attempting to get to but no course of action results in success.

Is this even possible?

Undoubtedly, UG has the most extensive library of tabs and chords. I really love it. But this aspect of UG makes me want to cancel my subscription and not even bother. It truly takes the wind out of my sails.

I could potentially see this being a thing if I didn't have a subscription but I am stunned at the fact I am paying $100/yr for a subscription that touts "ad-free", not once, but twice in its description, yet continues to push me to buy more more more.

Any help to get this app to work without the obnoxious questionnaires and ads would be so greatly appreciated.

(OR, if there is a better alternative I would be willing to move away from UG. I just want to be able to access tabs and chords in a phone app without hassle or ads)

Thank you.

How Ultimate Guitar can store user generated tabs of popular songs and MuseScore not? Why user generated content behind paywall on MuseScore

I always look for Guitar Pro tabs on UG and there is a lot to find, but when I started to play on piano I learned that there whole new world that doesnt work the same. It's almost imposible to find user generated sheet music without being bombarded by subscriptions or paywayll. What the difference?

How to use the Play feature?

I've seen posts about this feature not working for other people but I don't know if I'm using it wrong, or it's just broken. When I use the "play" feature on an official chord page, it just keeps repeating the first line/chord and never moves on. How do I make it scroll to play the whole song?

Does anyone else love this app? Just me? lol

The unskippable questionnaires/ads for Courses and Songbooks that happen every month or so are unforgivable. Even if you're already a paying pro member you still have to deal with that crap and can't get right to playing the songs you want to play. It's BS.

They are constantly breaking functionality like being compatible with page turner devices. They usually fix it within a day or two, but in a couple weeks they'll break it again. Also very annoying.

They have some major issues with their sorting. You can find user submitted chords and tabs files that for some reason don't show up when you apply the "chords" or "tabs" filters. Wildly broken code.

All that said, I absolutely LOVE this app! I use it everyday of my life for hours. I use it for multiple instruments. I bought a tablet to put on my piano and the ONLY thing that tablet ever gets used to do is launch UG. I have songs saved that have mandolin, banjo, ukulele, etc. tabs/chords. There is nothing else that comes even close to the quality content I find on this app. I'd be literally heartbroken if it just went away tomorrow. I would grieve like I lost a loved one. lol

I only ever see post about how bad things are, and I get the frustrations, but I can't be the only one that thinks the pros outweigh the cons by far? Or maybe I am...

Note: I do NOT work for UG 😂
