## What is BeatSpeak Metronome Entry?

More than just a metronome, BeatSpeak not only keeps the beat but counts the beat for you using real human voices! BeatSpeak is so easy to use - all the controls are just a finger-tap away.

Ideal for drummers who not only want a solid time-keeper, but also want to know exactly which beat they're on after a drum fill or complex polyrhythmic break.

Just choose the number of beats per bar, adjust the tempo slider or tap along with your favorite song, then hit the big beat number to start or stop. Simple. Easy. Fun. BeatSpeak.

You can change the language as well as the gender of the voice that is spoken, so choose male or female as well as English, Japanese, French, German or Turkish!

NOTE that the entry-level version doesn't provide all the capabilities that the full version does. The Tempo is limited to a maximum of 80 bpm and you can save only up to 3 Favourite sets. Otherwise it's fully functional.

Some comments from reviewers of BeatSpeak (full version):

"THIS is what I want from a metronome. •••••
The controls are great, the layout is superb. Everything is right where it should be. Whoever came up with the idea to have someone speak the beat numbers in the bar is a GENIUS! This great for drummers who want to practice different time-signatures until they become second-nature."
- Sam.E.4


"Good as ;-) •••••
This is very nice application not only for drummers as it is advertised. Works perfectly everything as it should. It is cheap as! I'm looking forward to see is it going to be a new features with the future updates. What are you waiting for? Go and buy it!;-D"
- Haraizmostara


"Exactly what I was looking for •••••
My first review ever. I went into the store hoping that something like this existed. Counting bars when practising a tricky violin part is not my strong point. It is great. Almost perfect, in fact. To help with a phrase it can name each beat, with a "One" on the first beat of the bar. And when trying out a long slow passage, it will count up the first beats of the bars, "One", "Two" etc, with a click on the other beats of each bar."
- TeeWes


"Very useful and simple •••••
I use the app while analyzing and learning choreographs for dancing or to combine/create new ones. It is kind of an metronome but easier to use (stop, start) and you can see always the beat-no. It is helpful to have a loudspeaker connected if you have to listen to music in parallel."

### 4/5 — Try for free, then buy if it suits your needs

*2022-04-12*

I think this is a good metronome that replaces my broken Dr. Beats. This trial version maxes out at 80 bpm, which is enough flexibility to try it out. I liked the features and it’s operation enough to buy the full version.

### 1/5 — Don’t Bother

*2019-02-23*

You’re still encouraged to upgrade on startup on the free version can’t go any faster than 80 BPM without upgrading.

**Developer response:** Dear "EyeGotStung", thanks for trying out our app and sorry that it didn't satisfy you. While all of us prefer to get everything for free, somehow we have to pay the bills. Limiting this entry version to 80 bpm is a tradeoff, of course. In an ideal world, we'd love to provide everything to you for nothing. You can try this version out, experiment with it to see if changing languages and voices suits your requirements, as well as save favourite groups of settings, for free, and if you don't like it, then nothing's lost. Sorry if it didn't meet your requirements this time. Please contact us directly if you'd like to discuss further and what requirements you have. Cheers!

### 1/5 — I don’t get it

*2018-07-26*

As soon as you open it , your told to pay for a upgrade to use all features. I couldn’t figure out how to stop it
I love the concept
But I think I’m just going to delete it

**Developer response:** Start and stop it by touching the large beat number. Sorry about the bug on startup, we removed that in the latest version.

### 3/5 — Some functions work with purchase

*2017-06-03*

I like how it counts beats, and bought it ($2.79) to increase tempo etc. Sadly, it crashes when one attempts to change voice or language, and "favourite beat" function. Please fix the bugs!

**Developer response:** Hi Sean in Japan, perhaps you could let us know if this is still the case? Thanks!

### 3/5 — Free means free of incentive to buy

*2016-03-12*

Free, but not functional enough to provide a good experience, just a frustrating one -- offer to buy the paid version interrupts too soon.   There's a large number of excellent metronome apps so why buy this one unless I can experience its relative merits?  Give us an update that holds back a little more on the selling!
