User reviews

Doesn’t time correctly

I have it set to 100 CR and it only signals about 1 a second. So this is of no use :(

Good concept too slow

The compression tempo is way too slow to keep someone alive. Please speed it up might be a very useful tool.

Response from developer

This is fixed in the latest version (1.4)!

Rate appears incorrect

I was hoping for a good pacing app on my watch, but it seemed awfully slow at 100bpm. After fiddling around with it I found that 60 and 65 bpm was good, but from 70 on up it was much too slow. I uninstalled it and will keep doing it mentally.

Response from developer

This is fixed in the latest version (1.4)!

Ok- turns off when the screen goes off

This is super easy to use but unfortunately the haptic feedback stops once the Apple Watch screen goes black. This is really unhelpful especially as the whole point is to get metronome assistance hands free.

Less than useful

I would agree that the rate appears to be off on the watch version of the app.

Response from developer

This is fixed in the latest version (1.4)!
