Gloriously basic n retro....

Gets the job done.


Great product!
Gunnar NLRS

Tap feature works well, and having delay times at my fingertips is fantastic!


Great for artists!

THis app is good for recording. If you need to find the bpm you whip out your iphone and tap the beat!


you can't tap a "beat" only a steady pulse
calzones

If you're a drummer and you want to tap a literal beat and find out the exact BPM, you're out of luck with this app. It keeps changing it's interpretation of the BPM based on the time between each tap. So if you tap a complex beat, it won't give you an accurate BPM because it gets confused by the beats in between the main pulse. So the only way to translate a true beat into BPM is to first distill it into a straight pulse on your own and tap that.


Fantastic. The ugliest most useful tool a musician can have.

This application is only good if you have a significant use for it. I really look forward to sitting in orchestra and having this by my side to notate tempo values in the parts depending on how fast the conductor is taking it - so I can practice at that speed at home. Thing sure is ugly, but for a free and very useful application, I don't care.


Rad!!

For any musician out there who's been trying to get there songs recorded but doesn't know the correct bpm. This will help immensely. Oh, and it's free!!!


Perfect tempos
Bassoonisto

I love it- need it daily as a professional arranger. My only request would be to optionally have the tempos quantized to the traditional metronome markings.


The program made no sense to me and no help was provided
FalKirk

I see all these good reviews and I can hardly believe it. First off, it is REALLY ugly. And I don't care about things like that. But it's so ugly that it hurts my eyes to look at it. And then there is no explanation of what one is supposed to do. I tapped a beat and I guess it registered the speed of my taps. Since there was no explanation or information provided, I have no idea what this app was for. I'm glad others like it. But if the programmer can't be bothered to either build an intuitive program or help us along, I can't give his baffling program anything but poor rating.


Ugly and hard to use
Robotthink

I never did figure out how to use this app, sadly. Sounds like you have to tap on a tiny "button" that I never did find. This app looks like it came straight out of OS7 and its paradigm is from even futher in the past. Don't waste your time, someone else will write something 100 times as good as this tomorrow that does other stuff, too. The reviews for this app are totally skewed and possibly fake...


good
