App was cool til it broke
No longer makes sound, and no access to a settings menu to try to figure out what needs fixing. So now its just worthless.

Any chance you’re using the speaker and have flipped the ring/silent switch off?
Súper App
Love the app! Once I figured out how to use the UI, it was super and fun to test myself. I love the fact that you can adjust your playing accuracy from loose to tight. Very fun way to learn polyrhythms without having to count every beat in your head and remember which beat they fall on, lol…
However, figuring it out was a bit confusing for me. The initial screen could use with a bit more words to explain what’s going on. Just a thought: I would consider replacing the number of beats with a single field and labeling “# beats, left”, also relabeling “one” to “down beat” and adding “left/right sound” to the center column.
Additionally, I wonder if you might consider a scrolling UI on the training screen for long exercises (6:7 at 42 beats) rather than splitting up the center into multiple columns. That way, the next beat will always be at the top of the screen rather than having to contort your brain to figure out… is it left or right, or when will it be? Hope that makes sense.
Anyway, let me know if you’d like to talk further would be happy to explain my thoughts. The logic of the app is superb I just find the UI to be wanting. Again, super job. Happy that this exists!

A “Must Have” App for ANY Musician.
This is so “neat” as we used to say. The simplicity of this app requires no instructions. Set the right and left sides to contrasting instruments and it’s easy to hear how both sides interact. At first I just tried all the number combinations to listen. Then today I tried the test mode. I love how it displays color intensity depending on how much your timing is off. There must be many Christopher Cross’s but wouldn’t be surprising if this program was written by the great American singer songwriter. Even if it isn’t, then both CC’s are geniuses! This IS a “must have” app for ANY musician. I’d be happy to pay a little bit for this, but FREE? No way! Yep it’s true. Thank you Chris!

Great…but
A brilliant app. However, it switches off when Lock Screen comes on. I can’t find the app in settings to allow to allow background refresh. Ian writing here because the support link goes to a webpage with no means of contacting you.
Would be great if you could help out as I love the app.

no sound
Love the concept of this app but can’t get the sound to work. Is there a fix?

Timeslicer won’t play through the speaker when your phone is in silent mode. Could that possibly be the problem here?
