### 1/5 — Does Not Work with Apple Music

*2017-01-25*

I do not recommend this app, at least until this glitch is corrected.

### 2/5 — Tempo SlowMo

*2014-08-15*

Aug. 15, 2014
Before I upgraded my iPad to 7.1.2.  The tempo app I downloaded was Tempo Magic. 
This little app was all I needed!
It gave me the Original BPM
then I was able to see the percentage of beats that I raised or lowered!
So it showed me all three in their perspective window boxes.  
Original BPM
Magic.  BPM
Magic Percent
I could also quickly push an up or down arrow to adjust the beat.   Also I could quickly start the song over and lock in the percentage I liked.
WHERE IS THE CONTROL FOR THIS APP??
I truly dislike it!    Come on boys! Step up to the plate!  I'm waiting!

### 3/5 — Almost amazing

*2018-07-30*

This needs to be updated! Otherwise, it’s a very helpful app!

### 3/5 — Needs to work with IOS 11

*2018-04-16*

Doesn't work with IOS 11. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.

### 3/5 — Needs to update

*2018-01-24*

I love this app but it need to update so I can continue my use

### 3/5 — No continuous repeat

*2015-02-13*

I really love the app. If you could add continuous repeat like in iTunes that would be great. What happens is I run loops through this app and at the end of the loop it sputters and then it throws the whole timing off. If you could this feature it would be greatly appreciated.

### 3/5 — Font size re Tempo slow

*2014-10-28, version 1.2.6*

Great app! But font size much too small. Please please increase this as I use app daily teaching dancing ?

Screen goes blank when I go to iPod so can't use app!!!extremely problematic

### 4/5 — Update require for iOS 11

*2018-01-13, version 1.2.6*

It has been a wonderful app, except one can’t use it with iOS 11, as the developer has not updated the software.

### 4/5 — Just enough

*2017-06-19*

It has everything that I need for my listening experience. Easy to use, and simple. I wish the creators would update the app so I can still use it with future iOS versions!!

### 4/5 — Great app just needs 1 more tweak

*2013-11-19*

I like this app a lot.  Great interface and easy to use.  My only complaint is that the pitch correction only goes in intervals of .05 +/-.  It's just to big of an interval. If we could have a slider for pitch it would be perfect!  Great job anyway though.

### 5/5 — Update please

*2017-10-10*

I use this app all the time but it now doesn’t work with ios11. Please update

### 5/5 — Works well!

*2014-09-22*

The free version works very well for my purpose, which is for slowing down music for kids to practise along with.  The repeat and marker features work well.  I know a music teacher who used it for transcribing/transposing.  Am thinking of "upgrading" so that a whole playlists' BPM can be speeded up or slowed down.

### 5/5 — Disregard last comments

*2013-10-30*

My apologies to this apps last comments I made. I was confused into thinking 0.5 semitones was one half step. It's only a quarter step (which is why it's not tuned to the guitar). My mistake.
 5 stars! Love it!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2013-08-21, version 1.2.6*

Lets you slow down music so it's easier to learn!

### 5/5 — Does what it says on the tin

*2013-07-10, version 1.2.6*

Very pleased with this app. I wanted to slow my iTunes tunes a little because I'm listening to audio tutorials in a foreign language. The variable speed and markers in this app make in invaluable. Could easily charge for this but the developers have opted for the donation model. A little confused by the buttons at the bottom at first but after spending 3 minutes with the app I'm a master with it. Awesome.
