“Itchy”

One of the more frequent questions we’ve gotten about GuitarToolkit is, “can I use it on my iPod Touch?”. The answer is yes, but the Touch doesn’t have a microphone, and therefore the tuner isn’t available. A bunch of folks have written in to say that they’d like to see a version specifically for the Touch, at a reduced price. Sans tuner of course.

GuitarToolkit Lite is exactly this. You can now find it at your local App Store for $5.99 (direct App Store link), or read more at GuitarToolkitLite.com.
