Smartphone music apps

Can you believe we can turn our phones into instrument tuners?!

Also a compass which I believe is more advanced than just gps. Standing in the middle of a field would gps show which way we're pointing?

Any other literal tools that our phones can turn into? Tools that don't just involve the recording of information like cameras etc.

Not really a tool, but you can turn your phone into a sleep monitor, that tracks your REM cycles and wakes you up at the optimal time you don't feel like trash when you wake up.

Store more music on your SD card? If you've bought stuff on BC just download it and do that.
Protip: Running youtube in firefox lets you continue streaming audio while the app is on different tabs or minimized so that's not ideal but an option. Full albums/playlists are plentiful.

Where the hell are you? Why can't you access spotify?

I'm in Slovenia, and Spotify isn't avalible yet and won't be any time soon. Pandora is also still very far away. We just got Netflix like 6 months ago, but there isnt anything good on it, only a couple of shows and a bunch of obscure documentaries.
I'm looking into maybe gettinga mobile VPN and getting Spotify through that.

Google maps/GPS services do actually use the phone's inbuilt compass now actually. Very accurately too.

GuitarTuna is by far the best mobile tuner app out just fyi. Best free one anyway.

You can also use it as a frequency analyzer, loudness meter (not very reliably I've found), frequency generator. You can do literally anything that someone's made an app for.

Well the difference is that this requires an actual tool which is not our phone. As I understand this requires a special ring or other wearable device. I mean tools that our phones can turn into with just a simple app or maybe no app at all. The music tuner thing just really blew my mind and the app is actually really amazing as also a guitar tutorial. Of course the tuner also works with singing and whistling.

Yeah guitartuna is what I got and it's fucking awesome.

Why does no one believe in blunting the A string on an open G major? The strum sounds the exact fucking same!

Honestly just browse whatever your app service is. There's generally a section for tools and stuff and browsing recommendations tends to work a charm. There's so many out there it's worth just exploring yourself.

Isn't it? I got myself a cheap clip on tuner ($15 or so) and I figured that having a physical contact mic would make it better but Tuna still does a better job. Might pay for the extended features soon enough.

I use tunnelbear app to connect to american server and use spotify, i just need to log in using it once in two weeks or so, so i don't get banned for not being amerifag, the rest of the time i use it normally(but i still torrent most of my music anyway)

Oh cool I'll have to check out the extra paid features and browse through an app store as well to see if a guitar tuner is truly unique in its category of genuine tools.

Nice, I googled this and tried this. And it works. Was even able to sync my account that I use on my PC.
