"Must have" and a "gem" - Macworld
The silent metronome where you feel, not hear, the beats. The simple BPM calculator always on your wrist. The handy tempo reference table. Tacet is 3 apps in one... and it is now better than ever.
Have you ever wanted to get a proper tempo, but don't know where your metronome is? Have you ever wanted a metronome without a loud, obnoxious sound where you can simply feel the beats as taps on your wrist? Have you ever wanted to check what the BPM of a song is, in one easy step? Have you ever wanted a handy reference table for common tempos? Have you ever wanted this all... on your wrist, with no need to even take out a phone?
Download tacet today! It is completely free, and we hope you enjoy it.
If you really love tacet, there is an option on the phone to support development for less than the price of a cup of coffee. No pressure, since the app is fully functional without purchasing this In-App purchase... but please give it a thought.
Please note that due to limitations in the OS, tacet will not run in the background or when the watch is asleep. As such, our users may find it better to use it for starting out with the right beat, checking if they are on tempo, and more, rather than while they are playing.

Turns Off

Was hoping to use it while running. But it turns off when watch sleeps or switching apps - like a run tracker.
Just no...

The beat is completely inconsistent. This is the purpose of a metronome... To be steady.
Stops when I play
Play On 04
When I begin to play piano the screen goes off and it stops. What's the point if it doesn't keep going? Make the screen stay on. Or keep going in the background.
Great idea for a watch app!

Finally a metronome that makes no noise, but keeps me in tempo! Great idea, very well executed!
Definitely Recommend

As the trumpet section leader in my marching band, I have to hold sectionals with my section a lot. I've never been good at keeping a steady tempo, but with this app for my watch i've been able to keep a steady tempo for my section. Would definitely recommend this!
Needs work

I love the idea of a metronome on my wrist. It's very helpful for keeping a beat while singing or playing. There are two big issues, though. One is that the tapping stops when the screen goes black. Not particularly useful if you need to keep the beat for more than a second or two or if you need to move your arm. Second issue is that it seems to have used the lowest haptic feedback setting. When your moving you could almost miss it. If these two things were changed this would be a great app.
This app is great!
Ball in a statement
Before this app I couldn't keep time while I was playing piano, and I was really getting annoyed. This app has completely changed that. I definitely recommend this app.
Needs tap tempo in glances

It's a great app. Just need to be able to get to tap tempo from glances. That, would be wicked killer.
Novel concept

I can never get it to launch on my watch, instead I get a loading wheel until it crashes. Through reading other reviews, it needs some work, but keep at it. This app has great potential for drum majors and section leaders.
