Not Apple iTunes friendly
Downloaded. Went to add music, offers iTunes as a choice but won’t accept songs in the library.
Life saver Life changer
Aquatic exercisers usually have to put up with 'seniors' music which is often great but..... This app allows music which is way too fast to be used for water workouts (you cannot move so fast in water as on land) to now be used.
The latest update improved it to the point of being easy to use for a class where you can't get at the music source to keep changing things.
The instructions are minimal but it only takes a bit of thought to work out how to use it. Then it is simple and the clear design makes it easy to read through the sweat and adrenaline of teaching.
There is an extra option or two that would make it even better but as maybe they are there already and I haven't worked them out yet, I'm not going to list them!
Excellent app, this is the first review I've written in years of app using!

Awesome, but needs a couple features
This is an AWESOME program with the right price.
I currently use Tempo Magic for BPM tempo adjustment during workouts but I really like the interface of Swedebeat better. If you've got your phone strapped to the handlebars of an exercise bike it's great!
But if you're running and don't want to interface with the phone every song change to keep a constant pace it doesn't work well.
I'd use Swedebeat exclusively if I could:
1) Force a stable BPM out once I start playing a playlist.
2) Manually override it's guess on BPM - If program guesses 110 BPM for a song that's 220, or vice versa, or if I have a reason to change it. For example I start my workouts with Holst - Mars, Bringer of War because it's epic and I'm a dork. That song is 80 BPM but I work out between 170 and 190 BPM. Calling it 160 keeps it epic with minimal tempo change.
With those changes I'd be using Swedebeat exclusively for my workouts.
