As I've started to get a bit more serious I've downloaded some guitar related apps to my Android phone. Below is a summary alphabetically.
Curious what everyone else is using AND WHY? That would help me/us focus on the better ones and uninstall others.
-----------
Boss tuner - Free and easy
Chordify - I got this app originally because I was looking for something that could decipher chords by listening only. Requires Premium Sub to do that and I have not done that. It does play 'some' songs as it shows you the chords but I suspect the library is limited. Seemed to have a lot of songs I could care less about.
Fender - Got this for the tuner but I don't like it as much as other tuners. There may be some other features but I haven't spent time with it.
Guitar Fretboard - I use this almost every day. Sometimes I will open it and play around with different keys and modes - even if I'm not playing guitar. Guitar theory is still fairly new to me, and looking at this stuff repeatedly helps my brain absorb.
Guitar Scales and Chords - I started off with this one but it seems clunky so I don't go there but it does have a tuner, 'games' and riffs. But for example, Back n Black didn't appear correct to me?
Scales (smartChord) - have not messed with yet.
Shazam - not really a guitar app but it will find a song for you simply by listening, which could be good for learning something new.
Songsterr - this is a very basic tab app but what I like is that you can choose a tuning and it will pull up a list of songs in that tuning. Also great for learning new stuff.
Soundcorset - tuner and metronome. Seems like a great tuner and has cents as well. Looks like it has other features.
Tabs (Ultimate-Guitar) - not free or as robust as the online version and seems to a bit glitchy for some reason. Can't find tuner.
ToneX Control - have not used yet, requires ToneX Plug and possibly some other things. I have ToneX for PC but just software right now.
Tuner - (This is the Boss tuner mentioned above)
What 'should' I have?
Neural DSP is on my list
PS: I have regular tuners and headstock tuners I use mostly. I have yet to tune my guitar with an app.
