BeatSpeak Metronome Entry

| Music | Free | Scruff Monkey Productions Ltd | iPhone, iPad, iPod |
Ideal for drummers who not only want a solid time-keeper, but also want to know exactly which beat they're on after a drum fill or complex polyrhythmic break.
Just choose the number of beats per bar, adjust the tempo slider or tap along with your favorite song, then hit the big beat number to start or stop. Simple. Easy. Fun. BeatSpeak.
You can change the language as well as the gender of the voice that is spoken, so choose male or female as well as English, Japanese, French, German or Turkish!
NOTE that the FREE version doesn't provide all the capabilities that the full version does. The Tempo is limited to a maximum of 80 bpm and you can't save any Favourite sets. Otherwise it's fully functional. To get the other features (and new features like 1/8th notes - coming soon!), just buy the full version.

Some comments from reviewers of BeatSpeak (full version):
"THIS is what I want from a metronome. •••••
The controls are great, the layout is superb. Everything is right where it should be. Whoever came up with the idea to have someone speak the beat numbers in the bar is a GENIUS! This great for drummers who want to practice different time-signatures until they become second-nature."

"Good as ;-) •••••
This is very nice application not only for drummers as it is advertised. Works perfectly everything as it should. It is cheap as! I'm looking forward to see is it going to be a new features with the future updates. What are you waiting for? Go and buy it!;-D"

"Exactly what I was looking for •••••
My first review ever. I went into the store hoping that something like this existed. Counting bars when practising a tricky violin part is not my strong point. It is great. Almost perfect, in fact. To help with a phrase it can name each beat, with a "One" on the first beat of the bar. And when trying out a long slow passage, it will count up the first beats of the bars, "One", "Two" etc, with a click on the other beats of each bar."

"Very useful and simple •••••
I use the app while analyzing and learning choreographs for dancing or to combine/create new ones. It is kind of an metronome but easier to use (stop, start) and you can see always the beat-no. It is helpful to have a loudspeaker connected if you have to listen to music in parallel."

Free means free of incentive to buy

Free, but not functional enough to provide a good experience, just a frustrating one -- offer to buy the paid version interrupts too soon. There's a large number of excellent metronome apps so why buy this one unless I can experience its relative merits? Give us an update that holds back a little more on the selling!
