TalkBass Android and IPhone App Bassists... Maybe we can start a club?

[entertoexit]

Who else uses the Android or IPhone app for the TalkBass forums? Or uses other apps like Tabs and tuners?

Feel free to suggest apps and discuss the apps that you use regularly as a bassist.

Personally I use TB, G tuner, and Tabular a ton on my LG Optimus T and its helps insanely whether I'm at home or on the go.

I'm usually using the iOS app. Gotta say, whoever was the developer for this app did a Hell of a job.

I love TB app for iPhone. I usually prefer it over using my PC.

I absolutely LOVE the TB app for iphone! It allows me to surf TB all day at work. I also love the "tab tool kit" app; its basically like having GuitarPro and Power Tab at your fingertips. AmpliTube is a good one too if you are up to buying the connector for your guitar or bass. The iphone offers some apps that just contain jam tracks too that are worth checking out. As for making a club, YES! Please do, as I am not yet a member of any clubs. I play to join the GK club as soon as I get a pic of my rig

Oh, and you know how on the TB app you can view all of the "current threads" (not be be confused with "newest")? Well, can you sort threads like that on the actual website?

I use TB for iPhone. Convenient, but closes whenever someone posts to a thread I'm reading.

Just got an irig and downloaded Amplitube, pocketGK, and Ampkit. Think I like Amplitube best, but haven't had much of a chance to play around with them yet. Was wondering if anyone else uses an irig? What amp do you like best and why?

I use Amazing Slow Downer to lift bass parts. Like the fact that I can change key because we do that alot to accommodate our vocalists.

Also use Ear Trainer (not sure it's helping!),
Virtuoso, Bass Addict (jury's still out that one), and Steinway Metronome.

I'm on my iPad... It's useful.

I think it's still easier to navigate on my laptop, though.

I have the tb app on my my droid x which I am posting from right now.

I love the TB app for Android...specifically the Droid2.

I have been trying to find a way to use gStrings free for tuning a little more effectively....tuning a B string thru a tiny mike hole is a challenge to acoustics/physics to say the least.

I use SoundHound for ID'ing songs I like the sound of but don't know artist or lyrics for.

I imagine I could use one of the sound meter apps for checking on FOH sound level if I can get to trust the calibration....I'm down to two that seem pretty good and consistent if not accurate on an absolute scale.

I use the camera for gear photos....I use a checklist program for making sure I've got all I need for a gig. I use ebay and craigslist apps for GAS surveillance and potential gigs. I use maps and Nav for getting to gigs and recording studios. Miren browswer for lyrics.

I like the iPhone app almost more than the PC interface for browsing. But I hate typing on the iPhone so anytime I need to respond, I'm back on the laptop.

Hated the app at first. Now I love it!!

I use the Android TB app on my Optimus S, works great!

although I don't use it a ton, the iPhone app is clean. I really appreciate the work put into it.

I'll admit I check TB when I have a quick break at work too! I love the ease of the app, and honestly rarely visit the actual site on my computer anymore. I don't think you can sort the actual site that way, at least not from what I've seen of it.

I've started using a metronome on my android as well now, which is super helpful when I'm doing warmups in the morning or after work, especially now that I'm playing alot of slap.

Its awesome in landscape mode on the optimus too I must note, I use better keyboard 8.0 to assist my giant bassist thumbs in typing long posts lol.

I love the TB app for my iPhone but it crashes a lot on me.

Yeah. Crashes are waaay too common. If they fix that it will be perfect.

Is there a way to delete your posts on the iPad app? Can't seem to find it. Had to use the web.

so that must be why the iPad app occasionally shuts down... Hadn't figured that one out yet
