Aus einem kostenlosen coolen Tool wurde still und heimlich die größte Abzocke im App Store. 5,99€/Woche!!! …Ich nehm wieder die Stoppuhr. Schämt Euch

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the current pricing doesn't meet your expectations. The transition to a subscription model allows us to provide consistent updates, develop new features, and maintain ongoing support for the app. However, we truly value your input and will take your comments into consideration as we evaluate our future pricing options. Kind regards, Devnex Support

Won’t even let you try it without a purchase do not bother these free ones out there

Response from developer

Hi there, Sorry to hear about your experience. The app does include free features as well as a free trial so you can test everything before committing. You should be able to explore the app without purchasing, so if something blocked you from doing that, please reach out through the in-app support form and we’ll be happy to help. Thanks for the feedback. Kind regards, Devnex Support

Geldschneiderei

Für den minimalen Leistungsumfang einfach viel zu teuer - reines Abo!!!

Response from developer

Hi Peter, thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that the price does not feel right for you. The subscription helps us keep the app up to date and maintain the music detection features which rely on ongoing server costs. We want the app to feel worth it for you. If you can tell us what you feel is missing or what we can improve, your input really helps us make the app better. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. 🙏 Kind regards, Devnex Support

not accurate

it was a free app and didnt expect much from it. I dj and the BPM was all over the place. maybe its good i dont know. after 3 tracks telling me it was at 156 then 96 and again at 122 leaves one to believe the algorithm needs attention.

Response from developer

Thanks for the candid feedback, Flungpoo-onu. You’re right! The BPM could swing too much, especially across tracks. We’ve rebuilt the detector for the next update with stronger outlier filtering, smoothing, and auto-reset between songs (which was already there). We hope you’ll try it again after the update. Kind regards, Devnex

Predatory pricing

I would love to pay for this app out right. No way it’s worth $5/week. There are others better.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback — we really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We understand that subscription pricing isn’t for everyone. We do our best to offer features and quality that reflect the value, and we’re constantly working to improve. If there’s anything specific you feel is missing or could be better, we’d love to hear it — your input really helps shape the future of the app. Thanks again for giving it a try!

Scam

Went through a few splash screens and then i tried to close the app by pressing home button twice, it then proceeded to scan my fingerprint and accept some terms that I didn’t even get a chance to read. Can’t clearly find the cancellation, as well.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your feedback and sorry for the confusion. That definitely shouldn’t happen—biometric prompts and acceptance screens should only appear when clearly triggered by you, and we always want to give you time to review any terms. We’re actively reviewing this to ensure everything behaves as expected. In the meantime, if you’d like to cancel or need help with anything, please reach out via the app’s support page or email us at support@devnex.nl. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention—we take it seriously and appreciate the heads-up.

Basic functionality

This app does what it says and nags and ads you to death until you pay the FIVE DOLLARS A WEEK subscription price.

It works! It does what it says. It is in no way worth the price, which would be $269.46 over a year. That’s just not reasonable for what it does. Hard pass.

B

This is not free! None of the features work in free mode

Poor Accuracy

For the free version, all you'll get with it is the tap BPM feature. And they stick a giant add and hide the "x" to close it. It's deceptive and makes people think you have to buy the app to use any feature. Worst of all, the "tap" feature is NOT accurate. I've compared it side by side with professional music production and pro dj software and tapped at the same tempo and it's off by several (at least 6 BPM at closest) from what I've seen. Use another app or find another solution.

Response from developer

We’re sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience. The free version includes the tap feature, and we do rely on ads to support ongoing development—but we’ll review your feedback about ad placement and clarity. As for BPM accuracy, the tap feature relies on consistent input and can vary, especially compared to software using audio analysis. That said, we appreciate you pointing this out and will look into ways to improve both accuracy and user experience. Thanks for helping us make the app better.

Nah

Idk man y’all need to improve this. It delivers inconsistent results for the same stuff

Response from developer

Thanks for your honesty—we hear you. Inconsistent results definitely aren’t what we aim for, and we’re actively working on improving the accuracy and reliability of BPM detection. Your feedback helps guide that work, so thanks again for taking the time to share it.

Aggressive upgrade ads from the start

Only detects BPM (and not that well) for free, all while plastering an upgrade ad across half the screen

Response from developer

Hi yammieyams, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the ads. Our goal is to provide a free option while offering premium features for users who want more advanced tools. We’ll take your comments into consideration as we work to improve the balance between free features and upgrade visibility. If you’re encountering any issues with BPM detection, we’d love to hear more details at info@devnex.nl. Thanks for trying our app!

Terrible

How do I cancel?

Response from developer

Hi eelnna, we’re sorry to hear you’re unhappy with the app. If you’re looking to cancel your subscription, you can do so directly through your device settings. If you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out to us at info@devnex.nl. We’re here to help!

“Totally free to use “

If there is a way to use this app free of charge (as advertised) I’d like to know !!

Fixes

Add a reset time setting. Add a dark icon. Change the application category to utility (I don't like that the application is next to YouTube). When you swipe applications frequently, the offer to buy a subscription pops up, which is very annoying

Only tap feature works! Don’t pay the subscription

Unless you are detecting the bpm of your top 40’s chart pop music the auto-detect feature won’t work. If you’re a DJ and you spin edits, remixes, or underground goodies, then you are better off tapping the screen, which is free!

Subscription

A metronome has no need to be behind a five dollar a month pay wall

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! We understand that not everyone wants to pay for certain features, and we strive to offer a balance between free functionality and premium options. While the metronome is one part of the app, the subscription also unlocks additional advanced features like BPM detection and tracking, which many users find valuable. The subscription helps us continuously improve the app and provide high-quality updates. We appreciate your input and will keep it in mind as we evolve the app. If there’s anything specific you’d like to see improved, feel free to let us know!

Free version has virtually no functionality

The free version of this app has virtually no functionality; it just counts BPM that you tap out as you listen to another music source. Every other control on the app sends you too a splash screen that tries to get you to pay $3/month. Extremely deceptive.

dubious cookies

The app claims it only uses the id to track and then proceeds to ask for cookie consent for countless third parties. functionality is good, but the app will probably sell your data. There is a premium subscription for 3?/a month but i doubt that will male anything better. There is bpm - Tap Tempo Counter + Game which claims to not collect data.

Hello there, Thank you for sharing your concerns. We want to assure you that we do not sell any user data. The data we collect, for which we request your permission, is solely used to enhance and improve the user experience.

Doesn’t look free to me…

$1.99 a week or $2.99 a month?! Highway robbery… Give me a week I’ll put something together…

Response from developer

Hey Mmdeveloper, We totally get it – those prices might make you think we're selling the secret to time travel! Rest assured, though, it's just a subscription, not a gold-plated rocket ship. We promise the app is worth it, but if you really do build something amazing in a week, we'll be your first customers! Stay awesome, Devnex 🚀✨

Works, but there are better options…

This is simple BPM app, where you manually tap to the beat/song you’re detecting the BPM of.

While it works fine, it’s not what I was really looking for.

There’s other apps out there that auto-detect BPM and also give you a confidence rating if the song is detected by Shazam in the app.

Much nicer and easier.
