One of the Classic Tempo Tapping Apps on iPhone

This is one of my most preferred and longest owned tempo tapping apps. Useful analytics and tapping space.

Gloriously basic n retro....

Gets the job done.

Perfect!

One of the very few beat counters that actually displays millisecond values for different beat divisions simultaneously. Fun old-school look and modern functionality made for musicians.
Thank you for this present!

Good for live sound tech

The so-called "user interface improvement" is just -- only -- the addition of advertising.

Previous Review:

Unlike a lot of these beat timing apps, this one gives the time in mS. This is perfect for setting reverb.

Simple

Been using this app for years. I find it an essential tool for my work because I do not have to approximate what tempo I am composing in - I know precisely what tempo to write down. Quick. Simple. Magnificent.

Wer hier was zu meckern hat ...

...hat den Sinn wirklich nicht verstanden. Finde die App super, besonders die Umrechnung in ms. Das bei der Berechnung nur die letzten beiden Taps zählen finde ich persönlich sogar eher von Vorteil, denn wenn man mal die Bpm von zwei verschiedenen Tracks vergleichen will, muss man die App nicht neu starten. Wer damit Probleme hat, sollte einfach mal tighter klopfen;)

Mr

I use this almost every day....very useful. Thanks

Everyday use for me!

Great app, i use it more than any other. Simple and to the point! Great for finding ms to set a delay. If you don't know how to use this, then it isn't for you, that simple!

Pretty goof

Not saying this isn't nifty but I have been living without this just fine. If you have a second hand on your watch, just count how many beats in 5 seconds and multiply by 12. Not exactly rocket science.

Ehh

The program would be better if it was also a metronome, I mean you can change the tempo but for what reason. If it was a metronome I would love the tapping feature so I could tap along woth a song so while practicing I get the same speed that is being played...

That's because you are a moron.

Genau, was ich brauche!

Endlich ein Beatcounter mit Umrechnung in ms! Echt nützlich zum Einstellen von Delays, die keine Tap-Funktion haben.

Hey look! Macintosh System 6.0.4 is back!

This is a great program. It has that Macintosh SE/30-ish charm about it, it gets the job done, and it doesn't take a bite out of my pocketbook. I never knew that 1-bit black & white could look so good on my iPod.

Does what it should

Pretty cool bpm counter, does exactly what it should. Reminds my of one I used to use on OS9. Cannot understand why you would need instructions to figure out how to use it? You just tap the tap button and it tells you the bpm that you are tapping...simple?

Searched for this one

I downloaded this a while ago and loved it. I lost all my apps and came hunting for this one because I use it like a Swiss army knife for all my musical endeavours! Great app, the graphics remind me of win3.0

!!!

works great, love the retro graphics! Don't loose them!

Nice app

Useful free app. Good for working out delay times and compression release settings. Not very pretty but handy.

Useful little gadget

Works like a reverse metronome, and as a composer of music I find it quite useful. Who cares that the graphics are from 1990? It works wonderfully!

Ugly but awesome

For all the people out there who can't figure out how to use this app, you press the rather large button in the middle multiple times along with a beat, and it will give you the beats per minute. Is that so difficult? It's not a metronome, it's not anything else, it's simply for the purpose of determining bpm.

Now the actual review. Its interface is awful, but it's so simple and runs quickly and without glitches on my iPod touch. The breakdown of 16th notes etc is quite helpful. It's a very useful app.

The original and the best!

One of my most used apps, it's simple and effective, and often comes in handy when I'm curious about a songs bpm.
