Helpful!! Thank you!

This app is helping me follow the conductor ! I practice with it on my stand. Thanks

Haptic not working

The reasons why I bought it was to use the iwatch haptic feature. Unfortunately it is not working on my series 6.

Great App!

I really love this app...t’s very simple to use and do recommend. If I could make a small suggestion, it would be nice if I could cast the the graphic to my smart tv. It would make it easier for group to see.

Basic Features, Only

Pros:
- Conducts in 3 different kinds of styles with an option to reduce the pattern (as if in half-/cut-time).
- Offers a variety of patterns that accommodate quarter-note patterns.

Con:
* Cannot use the eighth note for the beat. This means that, if you want to get a 7/8 pattern at 180bpm, you will have to settle for a 7/4 pattern that tops out at 120bpm in 7/8. That said, this is NOT a viable tool for practicing asymmetrical compound meters.

If this changes, my review will change to 5 stars. The aforementioned feature could be extremely beneficial for visually keeping up with quick meters (which is something with which a lot of people struggle when moving from high school literature to collegiate literature).

Furthermore, should this change occur, I will gladly use this all the time and recommend it to my peers/colleagues. But, for now, I’m afraid the tempo/meter limitations render this app inferior to other metronomic apps.
