This app give you both standard and banjo ukulele sounds, as well as the ability to play chords up and down the neck. The sounds increased in velocity the harder that you strum or tap, and also allows you to isolate single notes only while working on melodies.
8 Ukulele Toolkit
Operating system: iOS
‘Ukulele Toolkit’ contains just about everything that you could possibly need to assist in your ukulele practice. Included are a tuner that is precise within .1 cent that also plays the note to help train your ear, a metronome with variable time signatures, a chord library, scales, and so much more. In addition to all of this the app includes a library of common chord progression, transposable to all keys using the circle of fifths, renaming chords based on capo positions, tap tempo to find the time as well as a special mode for the left handed ukeists among us. For when you are getting performance ready the app also has a built in drum machine that allows you to practice playing with accompaniment. There isn’t much left out in this one!
9 Ukulele Tabs and Chords
Operating system: Android
‘Ukulele Tabs and Chords’ offers one of the most comprehensive song libraries for the ukulele. Included in the app are well over 100,000 chord sheets and tabs for just about any song that you can think of. Once you find that tab that you are looking for, you are able to edit and tailor each to your own specific needs and even save for personal use offline. For performance you are able to set the app to auto scroll along with the song as well as transpose each chord into a key of your choosing. If this wasn’t enough there is also a built in tuner, chord library, and 20 common strumming patterns!
10 Ukulele Tuner
Operating system: Android
Despite its seemingly simplistic name ‘Ukulele Tuner’ does so much more than provide a tuner for your instrument. This app includes most of the standard alternate ukulele tunings: D, Low G, Canadian (Low G up a step) as well as Baritone. If you prefer to tune by ear the app has a built- in reference pitch adjustable from A440 as the standard.
What I truly love about this app is the visualization of the tuning which almost looks like a tape measure with notes on it giving great feedback on how far you truly are away from the target pitch. In addition to being a great tuning application ‘Ukulele Tuner’ also offers a fairly comprehensive chord library of root position voicings.
