Enough for gap practice

Doesnt need to be too many functions in there. It is only for gap click and as it be well working enough for own purpose and price. Im good with this

Tolle App.

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.

No 9/8

Great metronome, but how come there’s no 9/8 option?

Amazing metronome

Hello! Amazing metronome. But there is a huge request. Please add a 1/4 size.

Such a great app!

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!

Great app

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!

Volume

Hallo ich habe die App heute erworben und wie bereits erwähnt ist die Thematik gut umgesetzt.
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.

Boss Dr. Beat in your pocket!

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!

If you’re on the fence, get it

I don’t even really leave reviews like that, but this has everything I would need in a metronome. You can even tap a rhythm. I’m happy I found this so early into studying guitar.

Ottima app

Sono un insegnante di batteria e ho trovato questa app estremamente utile per la mia pratica quotidiana e per i miei allievi!
Facile da usare, ti permette di lavorare sul timing scegliendo su quale posizione sentire il click (sedicesimi o terzine)!
Ad esempio con gli allievi che la usano le prime volte imposto 2 battute con il click sui quarti normale e 2 battute con il click solo sui levare di ottavo, facendogli suonare dei ritmi in 4/4.
Consiglio a tutti,
Luca

Great app but missing pre-count is huge

is a good idea in an app, but the lack of the precount make the gap space unusable for the first full loop. Big miss imho. I would love also to be able to save my preset and not to rebuild everytime from scratch. Good app for the rest.

Zu wenig Taktarten

Leider nur 4tel Takte und ich find ziemlich umständlich. Eine Testversion für 3 Tage wäre besser als sinnlos 3€ abzuzocken.

What are you doing, Gap Click?!

I haven’t used Gap Click all day, but it’s consumed 23% of my phone’s battery. Hopefully it’s not doing anything nefarious.

best metronome app!

I’ve tried every metronome app available and can confirm this to be the best. would be great to see setlist / save functionality that others have, but that’s not a huge issue. only negative is the app icon - looks like a jazzed-up Google logo. otherwise perfect.

Per averla pagata anche no.

È assurdo che voi mettiate a paga un’applicazione che è piena di problemi. A partire dal fatto che quando l’avvio c’è un bug con i suoni per cui devo andarli a reimpostare perché sennò non funziona, al fatto che mentre suono il metronomo perde dei colpi a caso e riprende fuori tempo (e no non era attiva l’azione di battere a vuoto) semplicemente decide lui quando saltare dei colpi, e ultimamente capita sempre più spesso che mentre suono che lascio andare il metronomo sotto, lui smetta improvvisamente di andare, si mette in pausa da solo. Pagare per sti problemi mi sembra assurdo, fantastica la modalità in cui ti suona le battute a vuoto, ma con tutti sti problemi a sto punto meglio le app non a pagamento per quel che riguarda i metronomi.

Best metronome there is.

This app is hands down the best metronome I’ve ever used. It helps you build a rock solid internal metronome. It is extremely powerful but not bogged down with useless buttons to tweak. It is elegantly and simply designed.

Unique tool for improving time

Clever, simple, innovative metronome! It’s already helping a lot with my macro- and micro-time.

Requests:

1. Haptic feedback on the scroll wheel, so you can feel the response and can tell if you missed the wheel.

2. The play / pause button in the middle needs a larger hit area. I’ve missed it several times.

3. I wish there was a bit more versatility. Namely being able to do some off-beat clicks followed by gap measures.

I’d like to do things like
- lead in
Then a pattern of
- 2 measures of off-beat
- 2 measures of gap

Or even a pattern of:
- measures of regular clicks
- measures of off-beat clicks
- measures of gap

4. I wish I had a bar of lead-in. I find myself trying to the “play” the play button with the first note of the pattern, which is awkward.

5. The pitch of the off-beat pulses is identical to that of the “main” measures. This makes it hard to know where we are and get back on track. I wish I could give the off-beats a different pitch, so I could “hear” the blue versus the green modes.

Instant benefit

While this may not have the bells and whistles of a really nice metronome, this thing is still an amazing tool.

I saw instant improvement in my soloing and fills and just timekeeping in genera…. after a few practice sessions. it has proven itself to be an Absolutely essential practice tool going forward

Please add fully customisable time signatures

Not being able to input any time signature, (to practise 5/8, 6/8 or 7/8) is my only issue with this otherwise game changing app
Please add a function to input any time signature!
