What are you favorite guitar apps for iPhone or Android?

These two are good little Android apps for learning what chords appear in what keys:

I have the Peterson Strobe tuner and I really like it. Probably the main reason I like the iPhone.

 

Also have the Amplitube thing but have never actually plugged it in.

I use PolyTune the most on my phone. On iPad I use GarageBand, Guitartone, and I have the other Sonoma Apps that go with the guitarjack, but I don't use those that much. 

I used to have a lot, but I didn't use that many, so instead of having a bunch of stuff that I don't use, I got rid of a bunch. 

Also, I found that the apps tend to work best with the interface that they were designed for (AmpKit w/ AmpKit link, GuitarTone w/ GuitarJack, amplitube w/ iRig). To be fair, I've never tried AmpKit w/ the AmpKit link, but I got a ton of feedback, even at low levels, especially with the iRig.

Of the interfaces, I have to say that the GuitarJack (and GuitarJack2) are definitely a better quality piece of equipment than the iRig. Sounds better, better construction - definitely one of thos you-get-what-you-pay-for pieces of equipment.

Oh, and the Ultimate Guitar app for tabs, too.

I have Android... use gStrings and DaTuner.  gStrings looks sexier, but DaTuner seems better at grabbing the notes.  I also use Chord!Free. 

Just recently downloaded Twotrack Recorder.  A handy little app that lets you record unlimited overdubs.  The quality of the recording of course depends on the quality of your built-in mic, and my Galexy III leaves some to be desired, but for just messing around it isn't too bad.

Not a guitar app per se, but Propellerheads' Figure for iOS is a great little beats maker for 99 cents. When boredom strikes, pull out your iPhone (or iPad) and go nuts.

I was stuck in a hotel recently on a 10-day trip, and had a Line 6 Sonic Port with me. I borrowed an SG and I gotta say, the combination was more fun and sounded much better than I expected. The Mobile POD app (free, but the caveat is you have to have the Line 6 hardware) is versatile and as is usually the case with guitar apps, once I made some tweaks I was set. The other element worth noting is that it connects digitally, so I also used it to listen to internet radio and iTunes as it sounded much better than the internal D/A.

I keep hearing rumors that an upcoming Android OS update is going to reduce audio latency, but I've been hearing that for a while...I hope so. I have an iPhone for business and an Android for personal.

I use the G Strings to very happy with it I think I paid $6 for it.

If you want the best sound, check out the digital iRig's like iRig HD and iRig Pro. They use their own digital converters to give you the best studio quality sound instead of going in through the headphone/mic jack of the original iRig.
