What is your favorite guitar phone app?

[ladytexan]

There are so many guitar apps to choose from right now, but I find the one I like the most is DaTuner Lite Chromatic Tuner (for android). It's accurate and super-easy to use. No need to take the Snark along anymore. What is/are your favorite app(s)?

Never thought of an app for guitar. Thanks Toni, good to know.

I have Panotuner, but it doesn't help me with the 'leccies.

I have been using "G" String for a while, but I just started experimenting with "Mozart's Friend". It is very good and I highly recommend it.

I have enough trouble with my cell phone as it is. APP? Not in my deck of cards.

I use FretBoard quite a lot. It shows notes, chords, and scales on the fret board and you can create your own scales and save them. The vertical view is plain black & white while the horizontal view is a realistic wood fret board. I downloaded Tainer to help memorize the fret board but it's a bit of a pain in the butt cause they send messages to my phone. Thinking of deleting it.

I bought a combination of a pedal and app called Stomp Shop. It is an empty digital pedal, onto which can be loaded digital effects from the app that mimic a variety of popular analog pedals (and I think there are 40-something effects, some free, some for purchase).

Certainly not as nice-sounding as its analog cousin, but really fun, and useful to try out a whole bunch of pedals without the expense of purchasing each one separately.

I'm a big fan of Pano Tuner too, and find that it's more accurate than my Snark tuners as long as there's not too much ambient noise. Can't beat the price either, free!

My favorite is an iPhone app titled FourTrack. It is, essentially, a 4 track recorder and it has become a catalog of recorded musical ideas. With audio file import/export features, a metronome and extensive EQ capabilities it turns the phone into a miniature practice amp and recording studio.

Another iPhone app I find quite useful is titled Reverse. It displays a fretboard and identifies chords based on your selection of notes (tap a string in a fret).

Planet Waves has a do-it-all, multifunction app titled Guitar Tools, which includes their approach to a reverse chord lookup, along with a massive visual chord chart, a very useful visual scales chart, a metronome, a tuner, and more.

I have Peterson's tuner app title iStroboSoft, but I typically rely on a tuning fork (force of habit).

It still amazes me all this stuff fits in a phone, which fits in your pocket.

I have a tuner on mine which has turned out to be unbelievably handy.

Thanks, Everyone, for listing your favorite phone app. I really had no idea some of the apps mentioned were available. Christopher, I need to look into Guitar Tools!

The tuner app I use on my iPhone is insTuner, works great, unless there is a lot of noise, and it's free.
