Unreachable support, new version no longer allows .text downloads.
I subcribed to Ultimate Guitar over a year ago. I turned off auto-renewal back then when it was possible to reach someone from their company. I haven't used it for a month or and my subscription apparently ran out. I renewed a few days ago, and immediatelydiscovered that they updated their download system such that one can now only download uneditable PDF files, whereas before one could also download .text files which is what I prefer to use in the music program on my tablet. THERE IS NOWHERE ON THEIR WEBSITE TO ACTUALLY CONTACT SUPPORT! Even the "support" link only takes you to articles. I happened to check their Facebook link and there was both a phone number and a Facebook message link. The phone number results in a message machine, on which I left a message and a call back number, but received no call back.
They did respond to one part of my first FB message where I inquired how to download file in text format, and was told that they made improvements and now it can only be done in PDF format. They failed to respond to the part that said that if I could no longer download in text format, I wanted to cancel the subscription that I signed up for that day. They have not responded to any message since. I almost gave them 2 stars because they have a complete set of music for downloading which works in PDF. They allow editing online, but the editing is insufficient, as it is impossible to control page lay out, accurate font sizing (size jumps are too large), and because one can't eliminate information that is not needed. This results in pages that do not work well in performance when on a tablet. I decided on 1 star, which now feels too high, because how difficult it is to reach them. I can't even turn off automatic renewal this time.
If one decides to download files in PDF and then copy and past to put them into a .text format, it is necessary to realign every chord in the entire song manually which can take a long time for each download. It is not worth the effort and to have to pay a fee for the PDF besides. I recommend avoiding this company. It is a time waster in many ways. I have filed with my credit card company for a refund.
