First of all a word about gear: if you expect sound from the 1/8 headphone jack adapter to be as good as one going through the 30 pin digital, you are setting yourself up for disappointment and frustration. Trust me, you can hear and feel the price difference. I’m a bass player and have an iRig and an iRiffport. Actually, no, I just gave away my irig to a friend. Now about the app. Well the GK tone is great and all and you can play along your songs. For the price I would have really liked to have background audio/ ios multitasking. I have revised my review to a 5 star now that bckground audio has been added. This basically enable you to dial in your tone, hit the home button and run a sheet music app like forScore or iRealb while still hearing yourself. It makes the app 10x more relevant and is awesome.
