What would you guys suggest as the best app? I am looking for something that actually plays back all scales, modes and chord arpeggios across the entire fretboard while at the same time generating the correct chord i.e. mixolydian mode with a dominant 7th chord. It would be even better if it had a metronome and pitch detection so that the app would know when I played an incorrect note etc.

There is Musiclock http://musicappblog.com/musiclock-review/ and it seems interesting but I don't think it does exactly what I'm looking for. I suppose if there is a guitar instruction video that plays all the modes, scales, arpeggiated chords on the entire fretboard, while at the same time providing the correct chord that might do, but I would prefer the interactive aspect of an app.

I'm not looking for jam tracks or the usual guitar instruction, I'm looking for something rather more specific and technical or as close as I can get.

Obliged,
Chum

 Ooops! I posted this without noticing which forum this thread is in!So obviously it doesn't help the original poster at all. Gonna leave it here though because the app itself could potentially be very useful to a lot of people here.

The app that you want does exist and I know because I had a demo of it installed but it was a long time ago and I don't remember the exact name. The name was.... "Guitar (something)".

I actually need the app myself; maybe I will be able to run it to ground in the next few days, while not doing the things that I really need to be doing. So that maybe at least something gets accomplished here.

These apps are common - must be over a dozen variation on this type guitar app, find the one that suits your needs

Try "Fretboard"

Guitar Toolkit is nice.

I've had the Guitar Grimoire book since Adam Kadmon self-published it through his little company "Metatron".  Mine even came with an addendum with a correction to a slight issue that I taped into the back inside cover.

Really comprehensive, I could spend years with a book like that.

Thank you gentleman one and all, and yes I have some iOS apps that to one degree or another accomplish some of what I would like (Guitar Toolkit for example) however AFAICT not all of what I would like, I'll check out the above suggestions.

Obliged as always,
