  • Awesome!

    Knew almost instantly this would be my go to for bpm finding and metronome. Looks great, easy to run, tempo find is accessible from the main screen and I love the meaningful aesthetic tweak options. Instantly knew this would be my go-to after trying it. Please keep this updated! I'd love to keep using this as time goes on. Even if there's a 'unlock all customization for $2.99 or something for dev costs. I'd be happy to support.
    Thanks again for an awesome app!

  • Please add a different animation

    This app has a feature that I have been looking everywhere for - the ability to synch with another phone. I really want to use it to synch mets with my bassist but it’s useless because neither of us are able to really see the animation out of the corner of our eyes while playing. If a feature was added to be able to change the animation to a standard full screen flash it would instantly make this one of my most used and useful apps.

  • Works but haptic pulse is not strong enough

    It works on my Apple Watch now, but the pulse just isn’t strong enough to feel on my wrist. I barely feel it. It needs to be stronger. It’s not the Apple Watch itself, because I have prominent selected under sounds and haptic. When prominent is clicked, it previews and it feels very strong against my wrist. Yet with the app, I barely feel anything. Disappointing.

    Original review: I’m trying to use this on my Apple Watch so I can feel the pulse. Keeps telling me it needs to be installed on my iPhone when it IS already installed.

  • Fantastic!

    Perfect app that does a single job and does it well.
  • Looks good but not good with watch

    Great looking interface. As a runner I thought I could hook up Bluetooth headphones to my watch to give me cadence/steps per minute.
    But I can’t! And the haptic is too faint. There doesn’t seem to be a way to contact developers. Disappointed.
  • Haptics are great

    I use this at gigs with my iPhone in my pocket, to help me may least start the songs at the correct tempo. If I concentrate the phone haptics are enough to sense the tempo.

    Any chance of an update to sync this to a mac? ie. I run mainstage for lyrics/chords and other sounds, if I could set the app to sync to mainstage’s midi clock I could just leave my phone in my pocket the whole time.

  • Phone good, watch awful

    Dev should take the language out of the app stating how to make it always stay on with the watch, it’s misleading. Obviously this is false as these options in the steps stated to take to enable, simply do not exist. It seems the developer is aware of this from reading their responses to some reviews.

    Apple Watch capability is the only reason I tried this app. It works as advertised on the phone. Honestly the haptics are too weak for me to really feel the beat on the watch anyway. I mean it’s there, but you really have to focus on it. The other haptics for notifications seem to be stronger than what you get from this app, maybe it’s just me though.

  • Great visual

    I love that this app is easy to see while playing. I also appreciate the ability to share the tempo with others. My one desire is that there was an easier way to advance songs on the playlist. I play keyboard and to quickly roll to the next song with no break requires quite a bit of movement, long side glances, and a dose of anxiety. If there were an update that allowed for an option to have a single button advance on the tempo screen, that would pretty much make this app perfect.

  • Does not load on Apple Watch

    I wanted this for my watch. It does not load onto the watch. Only a phone or iPad app.
  • This app is amazing

    As a beginning marching drummer, tempo is key. This app is a great at that. That's why I want to say that this app is good for any level of experience, from beginners to pros. I have gotten recommendations from my friends to try this app. I still will rate it 5 stars even though there is a flaw. I got this app on my watch so that I could keep tempo near. Like most instructors, mine doesn't like us using our phones during practice. So I thought it would be a great way keep time like that. Unfortunately, the app closes every time I turn my wrist downward. In my positions I have wrists downward so it keeps turning it off when I need. Other than that flaw, I would like to make a recommendation to add a preset options. My show music this year has 6/8 into 4/4. Unless there is already that option then thanks

    Thank you for a great app
