In trying other Metronome Apps, I found that the visuals were always lacking. Especially at a faster tempo, a basic animation like a moving box or a light that comes on briefly with each tick fails to give the sense of meter that I was looking for. Flashy Metronome uses flashing bursts of color that move around the screen in a metered pattern, each fading naturally. This creates an organic look that feels like rhythm, unlike visual effects that can confuse the eye. Other Features: -High precision timing, powered by AudioKit. -Tempo tap -Adjustable tick frequency -Meter -Optional use of camera flash
