Pros and cons of GuitarToolkit - tuner, metronome, chords & scales app for iPhone and iPad

GuitarToolkit - tuner, metronome, chords & scales app good for

...dont ever turn this beautiful app into a whitish, flat iOS 7 stupidity.

I play several stringed instruments (double-bass, viol, guitar, bass guitar, Swedish nyckelharpa) and I must say that knowing which chord Im playing over when improvising or just being able to name which ones are my favorites when composing without having to think loads about it is a huge plus. Whats most interesting to me is the "visualization" of the neck. It really helps playing without wondering where the note is. After a while, even eyes closed, I know where to go. Even without the instrument in my hands, I know. I play XVIth century music, metal, prog, Brazilian choro... Im also composing my own music… So this app is my best companion no matter what the situation is!

This is the best app for a self taught guitarist or bassist! Teachs you many scales, chords, note names, and has lots of multiple tunings! Such a great app, worth $9.99 for sure

I love this app and use it to tune my guitar easily. I also have saved a few tunings that were not in there for certain songs. Then when I want to switch to my ukulele I can select it and tune that as well. Lots of instruments on here. Also shows you the chords if you have a tab with no diagrams. Seems very accurate.

Ive owned this app for a long time, Im always using it to tune up. Im sure to use it even more now that it has a nice iPad version built in. Thanks.

This is a really great, full featured app, and IMHO, its the best guitar app in the app store. I just did the in app purchase of GTK+ and was under the impression that I could add any custom string instrument... well I tried to add an 8 string guitar and I see its not available, so maybe they should modify the wording in the in app advertising for GTK+... either that or add 8 string support *hint hint, nudge nudge* Other then my desire (and raised expectations) for 8 string guitar support, this is a really well built app that gets more use then any of my other IOS apps. This really is a must have app for any guitarist.

Some bad moments

I bought this app full price years ago, it is now riddled with adds asking me to "unlock", by paying again of course. Im gonna buy a real proper guitar tuner instead. No ads, not before, not after buying. Shame, I loved this app.

Instant crash on 4.3.3 on a 4th generation iPod touch every time the app is opened.

I just downloaded this app for ten bucks, and was immediately confronted by an upgrade or plus module that costs an extra five bucks to make this thing fully functional (play chord sounds, add instrument tones etc). I would have preferred to know that the full cost of this app was fifteen bucks up front. Seems misleading to me. I would stay clear of this app on that basis alone if you believe in transparency and fair play in your commercial dealings.

The developers introduced a bug in the last version that causes the metronome to go way down in volume when you switch to the tuner. The only way to get the volume back up is to restart the app. They have known about this bug for quite a while but havent bothered to fix it. I wouldnt buy this app if you want to use it as a tuner/metronome as you spend an awful lot of time opening and closing the app.

Constantly showing pop ups to try to get you to upgrade. Annoying to the point I think I may delete the app.

Killer job on those popups everyone! Sure that in-app purchase is useless, but at least I can celebrate its uselessness with each app launch. Lets all get together and celebrate all the hard work you put into annoying me for no good reason! Woo!
