In this podcast, Carla gives us a walk-through and demonstration of AmpKit, an iOS app that transforms your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch into a powerful guitar amp & effects studio. Just attach your electric guitar or bass using an interface, and you will have the option of 30 guitar amps, 30 pedals, 25 cabinets and 8 mics, all based on real-world products. The app offers recording capabilities with mixing and non-destructive re-amping; various upload and sharing options; and a Tuner and Metronome featuring technology used in GuitarToolkit. The AmpKit app itself is a free download, but you will need to take advantage of the various in-app purchase options to unlock all of its features and functionality.

Twitter is available for free from the App Store.

In this podcast, Juan Alicea gives us a walk-through of Glide - Live Video Messaging, Chat & Text. This free iOS app allows you to send and receive video messages. What makes Glide different to most other similar services, is that it offers the ability to watch videos live as they're being recorded, meaning that you can show people exactly what you’re doing right now with videos up to 5 minutes long. Of course, video messages can also be sent for later viewing, either to a single person or shared with groups of up to 50 people.

In this podcast Bryan McGlashan, gives us a walk-through and demonstration of Traveline GB, an iOS app providing journey planning for Great Britain.

In addition, the app displays bus departure times at any stop throughout Great Britain. In many towns and cities, this information isn't just scheduled times, it's real live countdown information from GPS-tracking of the buses. When travelling by bus, the app offers next stop announcements if you're not sure where to get off. Traveline GB is a free download from the iTunes App Store.
