Using Guitar Pro app on MacBook Pro

Has anyone had experience with using Guitar Pro (.gp files) on their Macbook Pro's?

I am getting guitar tabs offered with .pdf format and .gp format. I usually use the PDF versions, but would like to try the Guitar Pro files since they have other features that you can actually play along with (if I understand correctly).


So I'd like to hear from anyone who has the Guitar Pro app loaded on to their Macbook Pro and how it's working out.


Thanks

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 26.1

It is not in the Mac Apps store but the Guitar Pro web site says Version 8 is compatible with Macs have Apple Silicon (M-series) hardware:

A Guitar Pro is not an Apple product, I suggest a good review of their support site for other questions and extended information.:
