Tempo
With Tempo, you never have to worry about not having a metronome on hand when you are playing guitar.

Having a tuner nearby is always handy. With the AccuTune app, you can make sure that you always have a tuner to use at all times.
With AccuTune, you have two different ways you can tune your guitar: either by playing it near your iPhone’s microphone, or by plugging in your guitar using a cable adapter. Using the microphone method will also allow you to tune an acoustic guitar as well.
Everything you can expect from a guitar tuner is here, and all for only $0.99.
Ultimate Guitar Tabs HD
