"BPM" is an application that measures tempo (BPM) by tapping a button. - Tempo Measurement By tapping the "TAP!" button in time with the tempo of the music (once per beat), it measures the tempo (BPM). Turning on the "Average mode" displays the average tempo of the taps, while turning it off shows the tempo for each individual tap. If you don't tap for more than 3 seconds, the tempo will be reset. Tapping the text "BPM" will lock the tempo, preventing automatic updates to the tempo and song information. Tapping it again will unlock it. Additionally, tapping the numerical value of BPM will reset the tempo. - Song Information Retrieval It displays song information for music playing in the iPhone/iPad Music app (this feature is not available in third-party apps like Spotify or AWA). Turning on "Shazam mode" retrieves and displays information about the currently playing music, which may take a few seconds to obtain. - Sharing Tempo Information Pressing the "Action" button allows you to copy the song information and BPM as text or share them with other apps. - Advertising Advertisements are displayed, but you can remove them by tapping the "Remove Ad" button to purchase the "Ad Removal Feature". Ads are automatically hidden while measuring the tempo.
