free apps:
ukufingers free (very good) all positions, in the free way there is only major minor and seven but worth it
fretboard le (very good)

pay apps:
my best is fretboard, all scales, chords notes, inversions, etc, perfect for learning and improvisation (it’s my opinion, of course)
also very good is chord kumu (major, minor, 7, M7, m7, 6, 9, aug) but without inversions
also very useful is basichords, all chords and inversions: major minor 7 M7 m7 9 6/9 7b5 7#5 m7M m7b5 m9 dim7 aug sus2 sus4 7sus4 (different instruments also with the same app: mandolin, cavaquinho, bouzouki, banjo, guitar)

Cecilia: Thanks for the info. I’ve been thinking about doing another post with the new uke apps. But there are so many I don’t even know where to start.

Guitar Toolkit has Uke support, now, and it works great!

Talking of Ukulele apps, have you tried out the Ukulele Tutor iPhone Application?. It is aimed at beginners and provides everything you need to get started playing a number of different songs. Only £1.19 as well!

dave: I don’t find it that ugly. But if GuitarToolKit added uke support I’d definitely be interested.

Jodi: I don’t think I’ve ever been so desperate for porn that I couldn’t wait til I got home.

Emily: I’ve bought games that I rarely play. But that’s mainly because I could play Texas Hold ‘Em for hours on end.

Anthony: Thanks very much for the pointers. Good to know.

Richard: Just make sure to keep your fingers hovering over Windows and M.

Mike: Thanks for the reviews. iReal Book looks interesting. I might check it out.

I’ve been using the “Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic” to record my uke playing with the free iTalk app. It’s good enough for reviewing my playing, and it couldn’t be more convenient. These are the $30 Canadian earphones, not the $80 ones that Apple promotes.

I also use Guitar Toolkit, which has a chromatic tuner, metronome, and guitar scales and chord dictionary. The guitar stuff is useful as a reference, but the really useful tools are the tuner and metronome. The tuner works with the earphone mic. It’s pretty accurate, though sometimes I need to restart the Touch to make it work properly. The metronome is really cool – it will play the beats as audio or as a flashing light, and you can tap on the screen to set the tempo. I should probably use it more often…

There is also a fake book available on the app store – I think it’s called iReal Jazz or something like that. Has anyone used it?

Thanks for the tips!!! Just got my Touch a few days ago. I’m still figuring out t iTunes, but I did a search for ukulele and uke first thing, but came up with nothing. I have Uke Chords on my old PDA that really raises some eyebrows at the local uke club. Everyone wants one. Can’t wait to get to work so I can do some downloading… I mean so I can work really hard.
