We were definitely able to give this app a star bump with the latest (huge) update, still not quite a ten… but so close!  The only thing we see missing is the ability to strum in alternate tunings.  It’ll come.  They’ve added pretty much everything else we’ve wanted to see from the beginning so we have to say it: if you’re an avid guitar player… this is a must have application.  Here’s the new stuff:

  • Chords are strummable (you can hear them)
  • Tones tab replaced by the Fretboard tab
  • Scales support in the Fretboard tab (touch to hear any note)
  • Alternate tunings support for Tones and Scales
  • Zoomable Fretboard with pinch
  • Left handed support (Chords, Fretboard and scales)
  • New tab for Instrument selection (6 string guitar, 12 string guitar, 4 string bass, or 5 string bass)
  • 12 string and Bass Guitar support — turner optimization, scales and chords
  • Alternate tunings moved to the instruments tab
  • Metronome improvements — new slider & buttons, stability, more time signatures, max BPM raised
  • Chords vetted and improved
  • Chord inversions identified (“i” indicates inversion in chord picker)

Speed test is an app that has been out for a while that measure the up and down speeds of the network you’re using.  It’s free, so take a look.  They will be releasing a paid, no advertisements, version in the near future. This version includes these updates: 

  • Storage of Speedtest results, which will be used to provide statistics and favorites.
  • improved accuracy of download and upload speeds
  • worldwide servers used for localized testing
  • a project status page
