## What is Guitarophone?

Guitarophone turns your phone into an electric guitar.

Hold the phone sideways in front of you, like a guitar, with the screen facing outwards. Strum across the strings on the body with one hand, and hold the strings at the frets on the neck with the other hand. Several fingers can hold strings at the same time, so you can play real chords.

PLAYS LIKE A REAL GUITAR
• Six strings in standard tuning: E A D G B E
• Strum across the strings, or tap a single string to pluck it
• Faster strums sound louder
• Slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs: move a finger along a ringing string
• Lift your finger and the string stops ringing
• String bending: push a held string sideways to bend the note up

THE SOUND OF AN AMP
• Three amp tones: Clean, Crunch and Lead
• The strings are simulated while you play, not played from recordings, so every note rings and fades like a real string
• The sound also plays with the silent switch on

MADE TO FIT YOUR HANDS
• Change the size of the strum area and of the neck, and the number of frets (1 to 12), right on the guitar
• Swap the sides, so you strum on the right
• Show or hide the note names

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-11-06

• Strumming near the top or bottom edge of the screen opens Notification Center or the app switcher much less often. The strings now keep some distance from the edges, and a single swipe from an edge goes to the guitar.
• New Help page in the settings: it explains how to block these swipes completely with Guided Access.
• The media player in Notification Center now shows "Guitarophone" instead of "localhost", and it goes away when you leave the app or lock the screen.
• Fixed: the guitar sometimes reached under the Dynamic Island.

### 1.0 — 2026-11-05

No release notes.
