Coming Soon: Trainer HD 5.1 ∞
14 Aug 2013
It has been quite a few weeks since our last update to the Trainer HD series of apps. The iOS world is abound in excitement with the news of the forthcoming next major version of the OS, iOS 7, which is due to become available in the coming weeks.
We are hard at work on the next versions of our apps that will take advantage of the new technologies introduced in the new iOS. This also means that we have to reconsider how far back we are going to keep supporting older versions of the system.
The next version of Trainer HD, version 5.1, will be mostly a bug fix release. We have identified a number of areas that really need to be worked on to improve the reliability and usability of the software, and we are going to focus on these first.
Version 5.1 will be out within 2 to 3 weeks. It will also be the last version to support iOS 4.3.
After this release, further iterations of Trainer HD will require at least iOS 5 and will also take advantage of the new features introduced in the new iOS 7. We have quite a few nice surprises in stock!
Fortunately, at this time very few of our users seem to still be running on iOS 4. If your device still runs an old release and is eligible to be upgraded (unfortunately not all devices can be updated), then by all means make sure to update!

New: 8-string Guitar in Trainer HD ∞
27 Feb 2013
Today, all editions of our Trainer HD apps have been updated to version 4.8, which includes a major new feature: the addition of the 8-string electric guitar as a new instrument!
More and more manufacturers are now offering 8-string guitars for sale, and we felt there was a growing need to have an app to help you learn its unique fretboard. We believe Trainer HD is the first iOS guitar app to actually do so!
This new instrument complements the existing instruments for 6-string guitar (electric and acoustic), 7-string electric and 12-string acoustic. This brings the total number of instruments available in the Trainer HD apps to eleven!
Like all instruments, this one comes with a few standard tunings, and you are also able to define your own custom tunings if needed.
Update your app today or get the free edition now to give it a try! The instrument can be fully unlocked through an in-app purchase, at the same price as the other guitars. If you bought all instruments previously, either as an in-app bundle or through our Complete Edition, then you'll get the new 8-string guitar for free after you update!
