Benny Greb, well known for his contributions to the drumming education community, shared the approach he has taken to develop his sense of groove and improve his timing on his instrument in his course "The Art and Science of Groove." Now with the Gap Click app, everyone can practice his method easily using this intuitive app! Unlike standard metronomes, which only provide time, Gap Click helps you improve your sense of time. Gap Click is more than a metronome that focuses on improving your ability to keep tempo, become more aware and comfortable with off-beat clicks, and become bulletproof and accurate with all notes of the subdivision. GAP CLICK By scrolling through the numbers of bars and patterns, you can quickly configure a "gap" of time in which the metronome drops out. When the "one" comes back around, will your playing still be in time? How long of a gap can you play through and still maintain a solid tempo? MOVING CLICK Next, you can experiment with all kinds of off-beat patterns in the Gap Bar, which moves the click from the downbeat position to a different location. Can you still play your instrument and maintain the downbeat internally even when you hear the click sound on an off-beat? Both the "click" and the "gap" portion supports various syncopated patterns, allowing you to practice in binary or ternary rhythms - with more or less safety depending on your settings. Features • Ability to choose from various syncopated patterns and the number of measures for both the standard "click" and the "gap." • Use the nostalgic click wheel to find the right tempo or tap to set your desired tempo from 10 to 300bpm • Standard quarter-note time signatures: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4 • Support for VoiceOver ensures Gap Click is fully accessible to users with visual impairments Personalize • See visual feedback for each note or rest that the metronome plays • Accent beat 1 of each measure or turn accents off for a more significant challenge • Flash the screen for a visual indication when switching between the "click" and the "gap" sections • Find your favorite sound from a variety of click samples hand-picked by Benny Buy Once, Use Forever • There are no In-App Purchases - a one-time purchase includes all current and future features.

It is only for gap click and as it be well working enough for own purpose and price. Im good with this ### 5/5 — Tolle App. *2025-07-08, version 1.4.3* Dann melde ich mich mal als VoiceOver Nutzer zu Wort. Ich kann diese App uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Dennoch habe ich einige Verbesserungsvorschläge, die die App für blinde Menschen in einigen Situationen noch etwas besser bedienbar machen könnten. Diese Verbesserungsvorschläge haben eigentlich nur mit der Tempoeingabe zu tun. Weil wir das Drehrädchen zum verändern des Tempos nicht benutzen können, müssen wir mit den Plus und minus Tasten arbeiten. Für Leute, die beispielsweise häufig zwischen 30 und 150 BPM wechseln wäre ein simples Eingabefeld. Richtig toll. Die nächste Hürde ist das ein klopfen des Tempos. Da macht uns VoiceOver mit seinem Doppeltipp einen Strich durch die Rechnung. Es ist nicht möglich, das Tempo auf diese Weise richtig einzugeben. Keine Ahnung, ob die folgende Sache vernünftig umsetzbar wäre. Mir schwebt beispielsweise vor, das Tempo durch schütteln des Gerätes eingeben zu können. Aber das ist völlig optional. ### 4/5 — No 9/8 *2025-05-07, version 1.4.3* Great metronome, but how come there’s no 9/8 option? ### 5/5 — Amazing metronome *2025-05-04, version 1.4.3* Hello! Amazing metronome. But there is a huge request. Please add a 1/4 size. ### 4/5 — Such a great app! *2025-04-05, version 1.4.3* I heard about this app from Reddit after I searched for "best metronome for guitar". The gap is so good for training myself to maintain a tempo! The interface is very intuitive except for the tap circle, but I just learned what that does from reading a review on my way to write this one. I went and tried it really quick, and it's perfect! So useful! I've only used the default sound because I find it pleasant, so no need to mess with it. By contrast, I checked out some youtube BPM videos yesterday, and the sound effect was so awful, I just couldn't. I love that it keeps playing even if the app is put in the background, and it even plays while the Voice Memo app is recording! (The metronome will be on the recording though.) The only thing I don't see that I would like to have is the ability to store tempos (so I can quickly grab the tempo I was last using for each of the different songs I’m practicing). Update: after using the app for a bit, there are two things I want to note. Firstly, the app volume adjustment doesn't seem to work. The volume seems the same loudness when I’m using other apps as it always has—even when I have it set to 10%. At 10%, I would think there should be a discernible difference. The second issue is when the app first loads or when the output audio changes devices, it pops up on the screen which device, and while it displays, the app is unresponsive. I personally don't care to see the device displayed like this, but what I really want is to be able to hit play right when I open the app and not have to wait for the "Speaker" overlay to disappear. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Great app *2025-03-16* Love this app! It would be awesome if there was a timer available in the app for practice, instead of having to use my phone timer when practicing. Other than that it’s flawless! ### 5/5 — Such a great app! *2025-01-26, version 1.4.3* I heard about this app from Reddit after I searched for "best metronome for guitar".

Allerdings finde ich den Output zu leise. Ich habe sie auf einem Stereokanal am Mischpult und ich muss den Kanal ganz aufziehen. Stellt man nun 2 Takte Viertelbeat im Wechsel mit 2 Takten Achteloffbeat ein, ist der erste Schlag beim Wechsel von Offbeat zu Viertelbeat so laut, das man das Gefühl hat, man bekommt den Kopf abgeschlagen. Bitte nachbessern. ### 5/5 — Boss Dr. Beat in your pocket! *2024-08-18* The fact that this gives you nearly all the functionality of the $100+ metronomes of yesteryear in a snappy little app? Brilliant. Easily makes it way into my rotation of practice aids! **Developer response:** Thank you so much, MD09! We’re thrilled to hear that Gap Click has earned a spot in your practice routine. We set out to provide a powerful and portable tool to elevate musicians’ timing and practice experience, so it’s fantastic to know we’re hitting the mark. Don't hesitate to share if you have ideas for new features or ways to improve the app. Happy practicing! ## Frequently asked questions about Gap Click by Benny Greb ### What does the Gap Click app do? The Gap Click app is a metronome designed to improve your sense of time and groove. Unlike standard metronomes, it allows you to set periods where the click drops out, challenging you to maintain tempo and accuracy with off-beat rhythms. ### How does the 'gap' feature work? The 'gap' feature lets you configure a specific number of bars or patterns where the metronome will not produce a sound. This tests your ability to keep time internally and accurately when the click eventually returns. ### What are the pricing details for Gap Click? Gap Click is a one-time purchase application. This single purchase includes all current and future features, meaning there are no additional in-app purchases or subscription fees. ### What kind of rhythms and time signatures does it support? The app supports various syncopated patterns for both the click and the gap, allowing practice in binary or ternary rhythms. It also includes standard quarter-note time signatures such as 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, and 7/4. ### Is this app suitable for beginners? While designed to challenge even experienced musicians, the app's intuitive design and clear features make it accessible. Users have noted that it makes simple sense without a tutorial, though its effectiveness in improving timing can be quite profound. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.4.3 — 2023-10-23 This release marks an exceptional round #2 of "low-tone bug" resolutions. I fixed the following two additional cases of the "low-tone" bug making an unwelcome appearance: #1. Travis informed me of the case on iPads where the low tone appeared in "Slide Over" mode when using Gap Click together with another app that produces audio. #2. The low-tone bug also appeared on iPhones when switching from an app that produces audio back to Gap Click. In both cases, the click now starts as expected with your anticipated selected click sound. It turns out the "low-tone bug" is not just a single bug but a symptom of an underlying issue when audio is unexpectedly interrupted by something else. If you encounter any other instances of this bug, please let me know so I can address them. Together, we'll squash them all! It's like a bad Halloween nightmare for me, lol. A big thanks again to our considerate users who helped us improve the app, this time Travis, who sent a video demonstrating how to reproduce the issue! We're always eager to hear your thoughts on this release. Please continue sending your feedback to us from within the app under Settings > Contact Support. I respond to every message personally and promptly to provide you with the best customer service possible. Thank you for your continued support! ### 1.4.2 — 2023-10-20 Fixed in this release: - Resolved an issue where connecting or disconnecting Bluetooth headphones would generate an unexpected low-tone noise in the app. - Additionally, the app now displays an informative icon and message indicating where audio is routed (speaker, headphones, or Bluetooth). I want to thank our users who notified me of this use case, especially Andrew, who took the time to meet and demonstrate the issue. Your invaluable feedback helps me make the app better for everyone!
