Ultimate-Guitar.com Launches Ultimate Guitar Tools App for the iPhone

Ultimate-Guitar.com, touted as the world's leading online community of guitar geeks, nerds, enthusiasts and fans that features reviews, news, columns and other guitar-related conversation points, has just launched Ultimate Guitar Tools. The app is reportedly the most complete and powerful all-in-one guitar app ever offered for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

What makes this app so lofty? For starters, it boasts four feature-rich mobile programs that guitarists can bring wherever they may roam, to paraphrase James Hetfield.

"We developed UG Tools based on the input of our passionate guitarist community, with a goal of creating an app that offers everything a guitarist could want in one place, at an unbeatable price," said Ultimate Guitar founder Eugeny Naidenov in a statement. "This app makes the iPhone an amazing toolkit for guitarists. We will continue to seek feedback from our members so that they have a voice in the process of adding features and updates to improve it."

Below are the key features of the app, which is available here for just $3.99.
