Don’t work

I started playing and it just the temple kept going down and down when I was clearly playing 104. The temple said I was playing 75. And also when I wasn’t playing fast and I was playing a slow song at 60 it said I was at 120

Inaccurate, no refunds

This app measures time inaccurately & freezes up after a minute of measuring bpm. Developers also refuse refunds on this ultra expensive utility app.

I am a professional Jazz Drummer, DO NOT RECOMMEND

I am using a free app called autobpm now

So far

So good…. Seems pretty accurate to me and a helpful tool… Of course I wish it was ALSO an AUv3 with the ability to send MIDI rate to other apps for improvising live music. … This would be so cool to have it listen to a live drummer and all my AUM related apps follow along… still very cool helpful tool
