Time Trainer Metronome - Justin Guitar

Time Trainer Metronome
Justin Guitar
Genre: Music
Price: $2.99
Release Date: 14 Mar 2012

Way more than a metronome, the Time Trainer adds five training tools to help you develop your own internal sense of time!

This is an accurate and stable metronome (many metronome apps out there are not) and features:
• tap tempo (to work out tempos by tapping a button),
• countdown timer (for keeping your practice to schedule!)
• many different sounds (you like cowbell, wood or xylophone?)
• accent control (for odd time playing)
• visual metronome movement with a flash on the beat
• vibrate option (on each beat or just accent)

...but then we add to that with five training tools which will really help you develop your own time feel - essential for all musicians!

• Bar Breaks • will mute the metronome for a bar or more forcing you to keep your time solid and be perfectly synchronized when the clicks return! This is a superb exercise and will really help develop confidence in holding your tempo. You can adjust how many bars are solid at the start then how many bars are solid and how many bars are muted which will cycle for the duration of the session. You can also select "random" mode and a % of bars (that you set) that will be dropped for an even more challenging practice session!

• Random Beat Drop • does exactly what it says on the tin... some of the beats (clicks) will be muted at random, forcing you to be confident with your time and not rely on the click too much. Many people chase the beat or try and anticipate it, and this exercise will help you stop those bad habits! I've personally found that the "gradual" setting is most useful, a five minute session starting at 100% with more and more beats muted up to the % that you set.

• Speed Up • is a tool I have wanted for years for my own practice so now I made one. Often when working on scales, arpeggios or licks you want to start at an easy speed where you are playing it 100% correctly and gradually push your technique by playing it faster and faster. With this tool you set a start tempo, end tempo and duration of you practice session and off you go, no more stopping to bump the bpm up a few notches every minute!

• Step Upper • Many people requested that we make a programmable mode, most likely to be used to be able to move from one consistent tempo to another, rather than the gradual increase you get in the Speed Upper. You can program a tempo for X number of bars OR minutes :)

• Subdivisions • Another heavily requested feature was to add in subdivisions for those that need to hear them, and for super slow tempo's where having subdivisions can be really helpful!

I'm sure you will find all of the tools very useful, and of course you will find full support on the justinguitar community forum - please take the time to rate and review it, good things will help promote it and anything negative will help me improve it!

Wishing you many happy hours of practice :) Justin

Solo is the ultimate practice App for mastering fretboard visualization, designed by world renowned guitarists Tom Quayle and David Beebee.

Four powerful fretboard trainers allow you to work intuitively on each aspect of the visualization process; learning note names, memorising interval shapes, outlining chord changes, and practicing scales.

Solo asks you to find intervallic functions against one root note, chord symbol or scale at a time, listens to the notes you play, and doesn’t move on until you’ve correctly found each note by its intervallic function in the specified order.

Practice with Solo and finally learn your note names, master interval shapes, confidently play through chord changes and break out of scale boxes with intervallic functions. Start transforming your playing and confidence on the fretboard today!

NOTE TRAINER
The Note Trainer is perfect for beginner and intermediate players getting to grips with note names on the neck - the foundation of solid fretboard knowledge.

‣ Solo shows you random root notes to find and listens, waiting for you to get it correct.

‣ Optional practice suggestions offer challenging ways to limit and test yourself.

‣ The Interval Trainer will randomise your chosen intervals and ask you to find them against either a fixed or random root note.

‣ Duration based workouts allow you to craft the perfect practice session.

CHANGES TRAINER
In the Changes Trainer you find intervallic functions, using single notes to outline different chord types or sets of chord changes, a key skill for learning to improvise through chord changes.

‣ Practice outlining intervallic functions through over 100 common chord progressions and single chord exercises.
‣ 50 intervallic function levels. Go from simple chord tones to complex melodic structures and scales.
‣ Solo intelligently maps out the correct intervals over each chord and listens for you to play each intervallic function in the specified order.

‣ Transpose the key of any progression or exercise.

The Building Blocks of Rock - GuitarViz LLC

The Building Blocks of Rock
GuitarViz LLC
Genre: Music
Price: $14.99
Release Date: 09 Oct 2025

Are you feeling stuck, not getting better at guitar? Now you can find new ideas quickly, in a visual guide to hundreds of the most-used riff and lick shapes in rock guitar.

RIFFS AND LICKS
Riffs and licks are key to building "vocabulary" on guitar -- things you can do besides just strumming chords or picking out scales. The most common riffs and licks are found in more than one song, just like chords and scales. But unlike chords and scales, they don't have names -- so a lot of guitarists never learn very many of them.

The Building Blocks of Rock for guitar shows you hundreds of the most common riff, lick, chord and scale shapes. Over half are all new *riff* (rhythm guitar) and *lick* (lead guitar) shapes -- like chord and scale shapes, but with a few added symbols for things like barres and bent strings.

Each shape has:
* a visual diagram
* a detailed description
* a pro-quality sound example
* a list of famous song examples
* the music theory underneath it

HOW IT WORKS
Looking at a shape, you pick up your guitar and place your fingers to match it; using the root (red circle) as a reference point. For moveable shapes, the handy fretboard map under the shape shows you where the root lives, for any given note name, or song example.

Listening to the sound file, you try to copy what you hear there, or in the song references. Even if you don't get it right away, moving your hands in different ways, to different places on the neck, sparks new connections and muscle memory.

Scrolling through hundreds of shapes, you start to see patterns emerge -- ideal for visual learners and visualization. String together some of these "building block" shapes to create your own riffs or solos.

Tap any shape to toggle advanced mode (pitch display) in color, where you can see how far to bend strings, how chords are built, and why shapes sound the way they do. This is relative pitch; the secret to playing by ear, the way most guitarists do.

FEATURES
* over 500 shapes; a visual library of guitar patterns and diagrams
* view by shape "type" (riffs, licks, chords, scales)
* view by shape "family" (CAGED)
* view open vs. moveable shapes
* music theory under each shape
* hundreds of famous song examples
* some shapes have video links
* left-handed mode
* works offline (after initial download)

THINGS TO KNOW
* scale shapes don't include song examples or descriptions
* currently just one sound example per shape
* app is vertical; cannot be rotated, or zoomed in
* video links are to YouTube, where you may see ads

There's no tab included. The shapes won't tell you how many times to play each note, or the order to play them in. They're designed to be open-ended: what you do with them is up to you!

WHO IS IT FOR?
* you're learned some chords, maybe a few scales; and you're wondering, "now what?"
* you've hit that "intermediate plateau"; trying to improve, but not getting better
* you're stuck, not making progress; like something's missing

If you're just starting off, you should learn the basics first. But once you're ready to start moving up the neck (or even stay down by the nut, but learn some new tricks), this app is for you. And players of all levels will enjoy just scrolling the shapes and skimming the descriptions and "fun facts" (including some song secrets that most tabs and videos get wrong).

NO ADS OR SUBSCRIPTIONS
Buy it once and you're done. There's no ads to slow you down, or subscriptions to burn a hole in your wallet. You'll be set for the future too, as new shapes, sounds, and song examples are added on an ongoing basis, without you needing to update the app. This is an app that will grow along with you, on your guitar journey.

ABOUT GUITARVIZ LLC
Kevin McFarland (founder) has over 50 year's experience. He built a free web app that shows some of these "building block" shapes (without sound). You can see it at www.guitarviz.com.

Learn more about these shapes by searching the web for "the building blocks of rock for guitar".

Reel: 4-Track Recorder - TUGKAN MUTLU

Reel: 4-Track Recorder
TUGKAN MUTLU
Genre: Music
Price: $14.99
Release Date: 05 May 2026

Most recording apps feel like software. Reel feels like hardware.

Reel is the multitrack recorder in your pocket. Ready for any recording scenario - capturing ideas in the rehearsal room, recording a live performance, digitising your vinyl collection, tracking a session on the road, or catching the moment inspiration hits. Connect your interface, hit record, capture it before it's gone.

The disc spins. The transport clicks. Rewind ramps up speed the way tape actually does. Every interaction is physical, immediate, satisfying. Designed so your hands know where everything is and your eyes can stay on your instrument.

THE DISC.
The large central reel is the heart of the app. Drag to scrub through your recording. Flick it and it spins with natural momentum. It stops where tape stops. It moves how tape moves. Nothing else on the App Store feels like this.

THE TRANSPORT.
Record, play, stop, rewind, fast forward. With the same tactile logic as a physical tape machine. Hold rewind and the speed ramps up. Release and it decelerates naturally. Every button does exactly what you expect, every time.

PITCH AND SPEED.
Slow a recording down to transcribe every note. Speed it up for quick review. The disc controls playback speed from 0.25x to 4x. Lock it in and it stays there across play and pause. Your recording, at whatever speed you need it.

CUE POINTS.
Drop a marker at any moment in a recording and jump back to it instantly. Perfect for flagging the take worth keeping, the section worth fixing, or the idea worth building on.

FOUR TRACKS. REAL WORKFLOW.
Record up to 4 tracks simultaneously from a multi-output interface. Overdub additional parts on top. Punch in a fix without redoing the whole take. Set a loop point and record over it. Built-in mic works when you're empty-handed. Enable Studio Vocal Mode for noise reduction and echo cancellation - cleaner recordings even in imperfect spaces.

THE MIXER.
Each track has independent volume and pan controls. Mute or solo any track while you work. Monitor your input in real time while recording so you always know what you're capturing.

METRONOME AND COUNT-IN.
Set your BPM, enable count-in, and Reel gives you a 1-4 bar lead before recording starts. Stay in time from the first note without any click bleed on your recording.

WORKS WITH YOUR GEAR.
Connect any USB class-compliant audio interface or instrument directly to your iPhone and record. Plug in an OP-1 Field and capture all 8 channels across 4 stereo tracks simultaneously. Plug in a Focusrite, Zoom, or MOTU and record straight from your instruments, synths, or mics. No drivers, no setup, no laptop. Reel detects your device and records at its native quality, up to 96kHz and 32-bit.

No interface? No problem. The built-in mic with Studio Vocal Mode handles voice, acoustic instruments, and room recordings with noise reduction and echo cancellation built in.

YOUR FILES. NO LOCK-IN.
Export WAV, AIFF, or M4A to your DAW, AirDrop, or cloud storage. Organize recordings with color-coded tags. Your sessions stay on your device or iCloud. No account required.

liveBPM - Beat Detector - Daniel Bach

liveBPM - Beat Detector
Daniel Bach
Genre: Music
Price: $5.99
Release Date: 31 Aug 2012

Sharpen your sense of time! liveBPM is the tempo monitoring tool for drummers, bands and DJs. It detects music and beats via the microphone and continuously displays the current tempo in beats per minute (BPM). It is easy to use and delivers high-quality results while being energy efficient.

=== What users said about liveBPM ===

John Walden, freelance musician and music technology journalist at musicappblog.com:
"There are three obvious applications for the app. First, it would make a brilliant practice tool for a drummer, allowing them to monitor just how good they are at keeping a steady tempo without the aid of a click track to guide them. Second, sat beside your kit during a performance, it would allow you to judge just how well you are hitting the ideal tempo for each song in your set. It’s not just drummers that can benefit for liveBPM as the third use is in mapping the tempo – and any tempo changes – in commercial recordings. While this is useful for drummers, it is instructional for almost any musician."

JonLong:
"I used this at my last band practice and wasn't expecting it to work. I couldn't believe how quickly and accurately it started tracking the bpm, even despite the very loud volume of our music."

PocketDrummer82:
"I am a professional drummer and I have been looking for something like this for years! Unless your playing with backing tracks or recording, Playing with a Click is too Mechanical. This app allows the tempo to breathe, and its like a little angel on your shoulder telling you the band is speeding up or slowing down. It is totally worth the money."

Chris Walther:
"I have used this about five gigs now and have quit using my previous tempo meter. I used both for a few gigs to test the accuracy. Dead on. Thanks! Every drummer should use this."

magrec:
"This has been very helpful for recording. thanks!"

=== Detailed Description ===

This is a tool designed for professional use:
- Well-tested beat detection engine guarantees trustworthiness
- Can handle most genres
- Produces results accurate to within 0.1 BPM under the following conditions:
-- The tempo is constant or almost constant
-- Strong impulses are defining the beat (drums, accentuated rhythm instruments like bass/guitar, etc.)

Further features:
- Tempo curve shows the development of tempo over time
- Multiple zoom modes to show last 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes
- Advanced audio spectrum analysis via FFT
- More accessible and usually more accurate than BPM counters that function through tapping
- Low battery drain thanks to high performance code and efficient algorithms

Using it as a musician:
- Use it as an objective tempo reference like a metronome
- It actually has several advantages over a metronome:
-- You are not tied to a click, giving you more flexibility
-- Helps you use tempo changes to enhance your musical expression
-- With blind tests, it can massively improve your timing confidence, which is especially important if you are in a tempo leading role (e.g. drummer)
- Discover how/whether your favorite artists use tempo changes
- Measure and improve your time-keeping skills
- Identify slowdowns and speedups while practicing your instrument
- Always be in control of the tempo during your live gigs and rehearsals

Controls:
- Power Button: For freezing the tempo curve and minimizing battery drain
- Clear Button: Clears the tempo curve
- Slider: Adjusts the target tempo range (i.e. 80-160 BPM)
- Zoom Buttons: Switch between zoom modes for the tempo curve. (2-30 minutes)

Note:
- You can check and improve the detection by clapping loud to the beat. Also, results can be improved by plugging in a suitable external microphone.
- You can support my work by rating it on the App Store. If you have questions and/or suggestions, feel free to contact me via e-mail or facebook.

Genre: Music
Price: $14.99
Release Date: 20 Oct 2019

C.ARP is a totally different keyboard. Inspired by old keyboards, omnichords and tape effects, it lets you play chords and melodies as well. Its design makes everything easier for a musician who just wants to play on mobile. Just hold on a button and then swipe or tap on the right section. But if you prefer, you can access chords and notes directly on the notes grid. Pitch them, harmonize, use mod wheel and apply real-time audio effects too. Rhythm section follows you every chord you choose: pick up the style you prefer, adjust BPMs, mute other instrument, change different midi settings, change drums and play them with drum pads. Do arpeggios with different sounds and rhythmic fractions, create different sound environments with delay, reverb and rotation. The design has also been updated for iPads, so you can enjoy the buttons and sections rearranged for the screen size. Record your voice or everything else as a sample, adjust its length, reverse or loop it, make chords and melodies with it and explore other cool features on this 4th version. There's also a tutorial inside!

And finally: we added bluetooth out. It means you can connect your iPhone to your Mac and send midi notes right in your preferred DAW. Just follow the guide inside.

Thanks to everyone who helped me: Giacomo, Virginia, Mattia, Andrea, Giulia, Cristiano, and the others.
Thanks to the masters Suriani, Frankie and Calcutta.

PartPerfect - Brian Houston

PartPerfect
Brian Houston
Genre: Music
Price: $2.99
Release Date: 11 Mar 2026

PartPerfect is the practice and recording app built for singers who use learning tracks.
Load your own learning tracks into the PartPerfect library and use them to practice and record your part — whenever and wherever suits you.
PartPerfect works best with left/right split channel learning tracks, where your singing part is in one ear and the other parts are in the other. Use the pan slider to dial in exactly how much of your own part you want to hear while you practice. As you get more confident, gradually shift the balance until you're singing entirely against the other parts — just like the real thing.
When you're ready to test yourself, switch to the record tab. Record your singing against your learning track using your device's microphone, then play it back and listen critically. Discard and try again as many times as you need.
Happy with your take? Share it directly from the app — to the Files app, via AirDrop, email, or cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box.
PartPerfect works great for:

Choral singers
Barbershop quartets and choruses
Any singing group that uses learning tracks

AudioTools from Studio Six Digital is a suite of professional-grade audio and acoustic analysis apps. Included in the price of this app is a great collection of professional tools -- SPL, RTA, FFT, Speaker Polarity Test, Generator, Audio Scope, CLF Viewer, and Recorder, and the framework to add more powerful modules as you need them.

Customize AudioTools for your needs by buying any of the additional optional modules, like Smaart Tools I, SPL Graph, or Impulse Response, at any time right from your iOS device.

We test every iOS device and calibrate the microphone level and frequency response for the best results. We have the ability to turn off the Apple low frequency filters, and on many devices we can measure up to 120 dB SPL.

Add iTestMic, iPrecisionMic, or iAudioInterface2 for a complete professional audio and acoustic test and measurement platform.

Actual reviews:

“...AudioTools is a “how did I ever live without it” app”.

“I think this application is the best I EVER purchased.”

“I have used many thousands of dollars of complicated test equipment that doesn’t measure up to this app suite.”
