Banjo Companion is a free multimedia app developed by Infinaut Technologies Inc for iPhone users. It offers a comprehensive set of features to assist banjo players in their musical journey.

The latest update addresses several user complaints, including the fretboard orientation issue in landscape mode. Additionally, left-handed players can now enjoy a dedicated lefty mode, and European and Japanese notations have been added for greater convenience.

While Banjo Companion may not be a traditional teaching app, it provides valuable tools to enhance banjo playing skills. The Patterns feature allows users to learn scales and discover creative ways to play them, serving as a song idea generator. The Favorites feature enables users to create personalized songbooks and jot down interesting chords or scales for future reference.

The pricing structure has also been simplified, with the All Access Pass offering an ad-free experience, access to all skins and beat packs, and the inclusion of advanced patterns. This pass provides users with a comprehensive banjo playing experience and supports the developers in their continuous improvement of the app.

Other noteworthy features include a vast library of chords and scales, a variety of alternate tunings, a zoom mode for enhanced visibility, on-screen display of notes, intervals, and finger positions, a metronome, and drum beats for accompaniment. Users can also manually strum chords and scales to hear their sound and choose from different skins and tuner pegs to personalize the app's appearance.

Banjo Companion is a valuable resource for banjo players of all levels, offering a range of features to enhance their playing experience. Infinaut Technologies Inc welcomes user feedback and suggestions to further improve the app and cater to the needs of banjo enthusiasts.
