There is now a Steven Wilson app for iPhone, and it's totally free. We've spent a lot of time developing the visual interface side of it, but do let us know your feedback. It includes the first official release of the track "Cut Ribbon". The links page still needs to be expanded. It's just for iPhone at the moment (although can also run on iPad), we had to start somewhere, but we hope to follow it with an Android version later on. Link here to get it.
