## What is BPM?

"BPM" is an application that measures tempo (BPM) by tapping a button.

- Tempo Measurement

By tapping the "TAP!" button in time with the tempo of the music (once per beat), it measures the tempo (BPM). 
Turning on the "Average mode" displays the average tempo of the taps, while turning it off shows the tempo for each individual tap. 
If you don't tap for more than 3 seconds, the tempo will be reset. 
Tapping the text "BPM" will lock the tempo, preventing automatic updates to the tempo and song information. Tapping it again will unlock it. Additionally, tapping the numerical value of BPM will reset the tempo.

- Song Information Retrieval

It displays song information for music playing in the iPhone/iPad Music app (this feature is not available in third-party apps like Spotify or AWA). 
Turning on "Shazam mode" retrieves and displays information about the currently playing music, which may take a few seconds to obtain.

- Sharing Tempo Information

Pressing the "Action" button allows you to copy the song information and BPM as text or share them with other apps.

- Advertising

Advertisements are displayed, but you can remove them by tapping the "Remove Ad" button to purchase the "Ad Removal Feature". 
Ads are automatically hidden while measuring the tempo.

### 2/5 — Interrupts music when app opens

*2024-09-21, version 4.04*

When the Apple Music app is playing music, and I’m wondering what the bpm is, I’d rather seamlessly open the app and check rather than open the app then return to press play again on the music. Maybe the app only needs an update. Until then I’ll look elsewhere.

### 2/5 — It isn’t like before

*2024-05-11, version 4.04*

The app stops de music in my iPhone when I want to use it and I have to play the song again to count the bpm. Fix it plz!

### 4/5 — 最低限の機能、普通に使える。

*2021-08-13, version 3.05*

欲を言うと、リセットボタンが欲しい。

### 5/5 — Bpm test

*2021-07-15, version 3.05*

### 5/5 — シンプルイズベスト

*2021-01-03, version 3.04*

アップルウォッチに対応して欲しいです。

### 5/5 — literally nothing wrong with it

*2020-06-28, version 3.04*

pretty cool

### 1/5 — bad

*2019-10-20, version 3.03*

Nothing helpfully

### 4/5 — 分からないです。

*2019-01-20, version 3.03*

よく使い方がわからないんですが、どーやって使うんですか？

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2018-12-17*

It does exactly what it's intended to do. While it's nice having other apps calculate BPM, they will only work for songs already stored on your device. Since I'm a DJ, this helps me a great deal when it comes to vinyl. It's a free app but I would gladly pay for an ad-free version.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2018-08-10, version 3.03*

Simple and free and great for finding bpm
