Well, I just bought an Iphone.

Obviously the first thing to do is download a guitar app. I have seen a couple, but am wondering which is the best.

So who's tried what?

I don't want to sound like an a-hole, but I know that a lot of people don't like the Iphone and I respect your reasons, but in the context of this thread I don't want to get into a huge discussion about it. I just want to know about the apps.

GuitarToolkit is good

Tuner, chords that play the chord note by note, fretboard tool, metronome.

Also supports alternate tunings

Doesn't Dimarzio have an app? Or is it Planet Waves? I'm too cheap to dump 10 bones into an app.

I think its planet waves...

by the way if you can work out how to jailbreak the iphone, its way awesome...

every app for free

 

[Robstar]

Guitarist reference is good but the application i use the most is Cleartune tuner it always usefull and accurate.
You can also jailbreak your phone its very easy but only do it to put applications that are not supported or sold by apple.

Oh! and by the way every app for free is called stealing.
I think it is written in the Jemsite pledge.

Funnily enough this is what I was looking at.

Definately going to check out Dimarzio/Planet Waves

Thou can only talk if thou has never downloaded anything for free ever !!!

Great thread.
I have also been looking for guitar apps. but haven't found one that has good reviews.

HOWEVER!!!!! Download Trapster. It will tell you where all of the speed camera's, red light camera's, speed traps, and even where active cops are giving tickets.

If you are a baseball fan MLB Lite is a must.

Guitarists Reference Pro, Cleartune. I got the free GuitarChords app.

 

[jay ratkowski]

For $10 or $20, you can get the Peterson Strobe app. Same software as the crazy priced tuners in the stores.

Cable optional.

 

[nickcoumbe]

Gool stuff.

I downloaded GuitarToolkit and have been having fun with that. It is very good actually. I have been "playing" the intro to sweet child all weekend.

That Peterson one looks good. I like the adapter cable. Anyone know where I can get it in the UK?

 

[shredmaster]

congrats on the phone. i switched to iphone when it came out and haven't looked back. i will have to look at that trapster app. i'm not a speeder but have had friends get tickets for 2mph over...insane.

If somebody doesn't like the iPhone they clearly have never touched one.

My friend has one and i believe it to be one of the coolest inventions ever. Most of the apps are pretty useless, but some can be very helpful.

Well I finally uploaded a review of the guitar toolkit in the reviews section, you can see it here:

Definately worth a download.

I am currently playing around with some ear training software, it is going well and my 4 year old son is also getting into it.

Definitely iStrobosoft from Peterson tuners, well worth the money. I've done a review for it for Jemsite (I've lost the email for the direct link), it should appear in the search directory soon.

 

[teokiatuan]

I'm also really looking into an iphone/touch so i can get one of those ear training apps and do them on the go, hmm

It is a cool review, I suggest that everyone has a look. if only to learn something about tuners!

Some are good, others bad.

I am trying out a couple and will post a review soon. One of the ones I am using is definately having an effect.

I'll do a review on Cleartune.
