Appletell review: Guitarist for iPhone/iPod touch

Guitarist is an app developed by Moo Cow Music that attempts to be your on-the-go guitar. It’s not going to replace your real guitar, but it might help you seize the moment when creativity strikes.

Since the iPhone has multitouch, using it as a guitar simulator makes sense. There is one striking negative about this app, and I want to get it out right at the start. Since you’re only working with a piece of glass, there is no tactile feedback. It should be noted that this is not a problem with the app, but a limitation of the device itself. If you can get over this one point, then you’ll love this app.
