Overview
GuitarToolkit is a collection of essential guitar utilities for your iPhone and 2nd generation iPod touch. All for just US $9.99.
Chromatic Tuner
Using the iPhone's microphone, GuitarToolkit provides a highly accurate chromatic tuner. You can tune to any musical note or to a specific tuning. Need to see it on stage? The high contrast mode is a perfect fit.
Scales
Choose from a list of scales for each note. You can even see scales for any tuning you choose. The interactive fretboard means you can just touch a note to hear exactly what it sounds like.
Chord Library
With over 500,000 chords, you can ditch those chord books you've been carrying around. Need to hear what a chord sounds like? No problem, just give it a strum. GuitarToolkit also support chords for alternate tunings!
Chord Finder
Playing around on your guitar, find some random fingering that sounds cool, and want to know what chord it is? GuitarToolkit's got your back. In Chord Finder mode, just place markers on the right frets and you'll see what chords it represents.
Metronome
GuitarToolkit also includes a precisely accurate metronome with 13 different sound effects and 12 time signatures. The metronome includes a visible flash option and a tempo tap pad.
Custom Tunings
GuitarToolkit comes with a wide range of alternate tunings, but if you've got a favorite that's missing, you can create your own with just a few simple clicks.
Supported Instruments
GuitarToolkit provides full support for 6 and 12 string Guitar, 4, 5 and 6 string Bass, Banjo, Ukulele and Mandolin.
Lefties Welcome!
Each supported instrument also has a "lefty mode" option which adjusts chords and scales to reflect those on a left-handed guitar.
Testimonials
“It could very well be the first app worth its weight in gold. Considering each aspect of the app would cost between $10-$30 for their real, physical counterparts, it's a phenomenal value.”

“Seriously impressed with the http://guitartoolkit.com iPhone app. One of the best executed and designed apps I've seen.”
Jason Fried on Twitter
“Must-have for guitarists”
If you play guitar, this is one of those "get an iPhone so you can use the app" situations. Now with 12-string and left-handed support, I'm not sure how they could make this a more valuable tool. Absolutely brilliant. (iTunes Review - Australia)
“This is What the App Store is All About!”
Finally I can carry around an extremely accurate Guitar Tuner. Not only does this work flawless but each program within this app is beauitful and designed very Apple-like.
“The 'Swiss Army Knife' of pro tuners”
The best tuner and best metronome I've ever used. Accurate and fast even against the background sounds of a symphony orchestra warming up (my gig), or a generator running - post-hurricane Ike! Finds my double bass low pitches instantly... (iTunes Review - US)
“Truly awesome iPhone app, even if you're like me and have no use for it. This should be the model for developers”
