Incredibly useful app!

I dinged it one star for usability. It’s not a huge problem, but it has room to improve. I would give it an enthusiastic five stars, otherwise. As a bluegrass bassist, you’re essentially the kick drum. You don’t time to them so much as they time to you. If your internal clock is off, the whole band suffers. This app seems so much more effective than just a basic metronome. Love it!

All you need and nothing more

I have been using the app for years to practice drumming and regularly use it for live gigs as well. It’s incredibly versatile and has all the functions one needs to play around and utilize time.
