User reviews

Simple, maybe too simple

Yes, it’s simple and ad-free; very much appreciated! Now… I would _much_ prefer the ability to tap a key on my keyboard rather than clicking in a specific area with my mouse (also, the click target doesn’t seem to quite be the whole big white circle, it seems to just be the word “TAP”). I’ve noticed it takes 20 taps to average out. Starting at 180 bpm and then tapping at half speed takes 20 taps to get down to 90. Some kind of “there was an obvious change, throw away the old data” algorithm would be great. A button to set the BPM tag in the currently-playing Music track would be the cherry on top. Lastly, this morning I got a notice saying it won’t be supported once Apple drops Rosetta. So maybe don’t bother with this app.

Upgrade?

I like this simple little app very much. It makes finding BPMs easy when I’m trying to categorize music. However, my mac is now saying that his app will not be compatible with future releases of OS Tahoe.

Useless!

Can't measure keystrokes - you have to hold your mouse over the circle and click it with your mouse! Why not just tap the space bar or any other key? Duh.

Needs Apple Watch support!!

I use this app a lot when adding tunes to my dj collection or when out at a club or festival to check the bpm. Does what it says, however, Apple Watch support is missing… even though MacOS is supported… cmon guys, please compile it for WatchOS, it’s a no-brainer!

Just as it says on the tin.

Perfect, thank you!
