Yes, there are tons of Metronome apps out there, but no, none are like this. Simply, it is a Metronome you can use to flash a tempo. Unlike the other apps, this is full screen, so you can see it with your peripherals. This is perhaps the most simple and useful app that musicians have never used before. Why use it? Because when you play music, you should be listening to the music. Not a metronome. Not only can it be drowned out by sound, but it also can be distracting. - Change your BPM (with decimal precision) - Change your Time Signature - One color for the background and use up to 3 colors for beats - Customizable beat patterns (like 1,2,2,2,1,2,2,3 or 1,2,1,1,2) - Simple, easy to use controls. Tap to start. Tap to stop. Nuff said. No, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles as some of the other ones. But it has a certain utility like no other.
