Feels manipulative ### 5/5 — So easy to use *2026-01-29, version 2.3.0* Love how simple it is to use and find a music beat. ### 5/5 — Great simple app *2026-01-27, version 2.3.0* Yet again a lifesaver during recording sessions at Swampshack Studio! ### 5/5 — Tap tempo *2026-01-13, version 2.3.0* I use this every time I go to record a new song demo. I know what tempo the drum track needs to be and input the tempo into pro tools so my effects work properly, like my delays. ### 5/5 — Perfekt für DJs *2026-01-13, version 2.3.0* Ich bin DJ und dieses Tool hilft mir sehr überall im Alltag zu schätzen wie viel BPM ein Song hat. Dabei ist es super intuitiv und auch sonst einfach praktisch. ### 5/5 — Never Fails *2026-01-13, version 2.3.0* Very dependable ### 5/5 — Fantastic app for medical professionals to count heart rate and breathing rate *2026-01-05, version 2.3.0* Fantastic app for medical professionals to count heart rate and breathing rate ### 5/5 — Great too! *2026-01-01, version 2.3.0* I use Tap That Tempo all the time to prepare ideas for DJ sets. If I could suggest an extra feature - a calculator that could provide the % pitch change to mix two tracks of different tempos. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2025-12-30, version 2.3.0* Very convenient for a quick BPM check on any song you’re listening to ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2025-12-17, version 2.2.0* I use this app for years and just loved it. Now recently it’s bombarding me with ads every minute or so and it’s useless. I would buy it to get rid of the ads, but there doesn’t seem to be an option. ### 5/5 — Does what it says on the tin ! *2025-12-10, version 2.1.0* So simple but works perfectly, a constant playing companion, thanks! ### 3/5 — No calza los bpm *2025-11-20, version 2.1.0* Me gusta la interfaz y que sea sin anuncios, pero no me calza los bpm correctamente. Tengo otros conteros y sí lo hacen. ### 5/5 — perfect *2025-10-09, version 2.1.0* does what it says use it all the time thanks man! ### 5/5 — it’s a multi use tool in my household *2025-10-08, version 2.1.0* i got it to measure song tempos and found that it’s useful for approximating my heart rate. win! super easy to use and it’s basically automatic- you don’t have to do anything except tap ### 3/5 — Ads *2025-02-07, version 2.1.0* App is good, but cannot purchase to remove ads. No thanks. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was Great, Now Ads *2026-08-04, version 2.4.0* I used this CONSTANTLY as a DJ. And now its just ads literally every 20seconds WHILE you’re tapping. They take up the whole screen. Force you to click. Its absurd, like why did the creators think this was viable ### 1/5 — Sketchy ads *2026-05-20, version 2.4.0* I used this for years and it was a handy little app. Now it has ads, sketchy “your device has been hacked” stuff. Instant delete. ### 1/5 — Has ads *2026-05-18, version 2.4.0* This app used to be ok but now it has ads that pop up while you’re trying to tap out a tempo ### 1/5 — War mal gut *2026-04-02, version 2.4.0* Das war mal ne echt solide App. Ein kleines Werbebanner, ok. Aber jetzt gibts diese unskippable ads für 10-15 sekunden. Sorry, aber für so ein einfaches tool bin ich raus. ### 1/5 — Adds Rediculous *2026-02-28, version 2.3.0* This was awesome simple and all I used for 3yrs. Now everytime I look theres an Ad so big it covers the whole Screen like every 30sec. I cant do that when Im DJing!! So sad ### 1/5 — Leider… *2024-02-10, version 2.1.0* ist diese App den download nicht wert; Um genau zu sein, handelt es sich um abandonware bzw. Schrott: 1. die getippten bpm sind ungenau: innerhalb eines Tracks schwankt die Angabe beispielsweise zwischen 124 und 128 - der Track hat 125 bpm! Mir scheint, dass diese App nur gerade Zahlen angeben kann… Fyi: ich tippe meine Bpm seit circa 25 Jahren, bisher hat es immer funktioniert – an mir scheint es also nicht zu liegen! 2. Die Angabe verschwindet auch nicht automatisch, wie es im Werbetext angegeben ist, sondern es taucht für circa eine halbe Sekunde eine Schaltfläche über der (ungenauen) bpm-Angabe auf; wenn du sie nicht erwischt, verschwindet die Schaltfläche wieder und du kannst die App nur killen und neu starten… Also spart euch Zeit, Datenvolumen, Ärger und den Strom (bitte an die Umwelt denken🤞🏽), es gibt weitaus bessere Lösungen, die ebenfalls kostenfrei sind. Fazit: steht eigentlich im ersten Satz😵‍💫 ### 1/5 — You had one job *2022-11-13, version 2.1.0* Lame app. Doesn’t work. I downloaded it for a music job and it screwed me and made me look stupid. I AM stupid for downloading this dumb app. ### 1/5 — Accuracy?? *2021-01-20, version 2.1.0* I am a professional musician. I use tap tempo apps to analyze tempo as I listen to different material. This app must not be giving accurate readings, especially if tempo changes during the song. I noticed also that even when I play with it, I can’t get the app to “notice” particular tempos. It will jump from 125-127 without going to 126 no matter how hard you try (or something like this.) The app is pretty useless if it is not accurate, even for the amateur. I won’t be using it. ### 1/5 — Neuerdings mit Werbung *2020-07-20, version 2.1.0* Der Deal mit der Werbung funktioniert nur dann, wenn man im Gegenzug auch einen entsprechenden Gegenwert bekommt. Auch wenn die App ansonsten „kostenlos“ ist. Werbung ist eine Art von versteckten Kosten. Und dafür ist der Gegenwert einer App mit nur einem Button zum Draufdrücken nicht gegeben. Schade! Fand die App vorher nämlich gut. ### 1/5 — Now with Ads! *2020-06-12, version 2.1.0* Die App enthält jetzt Werbung! 😣 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Timeless *2026-06-22, version 2.4.0* I’ve had this app on my phone for the past 10 years. And I sometimes will go a year without using it, but when I need it, it works. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-06-14, version 2.4.0* Es excelente no falla y no te jode con publicidad molesta ### 5/5 — Tap That Tempo *2026-06-12, version 2.4.0* Like a good buddy, a confidant who’s always there to help! ### 5/5 — Does the job *2026-05-30, version 2.4.0* recommended ### 5/5 — Life changing *2026-05-21, version 2.4.0* It changed my life ### 5/5 — Just what you need and accurate *2026-03-13, version 2.4.0* Works as advertised does just what you need nothing more ! Thanks ### 5/5 — My Go To *2026-02-24, version 2.3.0* My go to app when I want to find out a tempo ### 5/5 — Exactly what you want *2026-02-11, version 2.3.0* No BS, you open it, you tap, you know your tempo, extremely helpful and I use it several times per week ### 5/5 — works *2026-02-10, version 2.3.0* it does the job ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-02-07, version 2.3.0* Great App, does what it should, works offline.
