I’m a music teacher and this is a MUST HAVE but needs update – Tempo SlowMo - BPM Slow Downer Review

I’ve had this app for about 4 years, and it’s made learning, practicing, and teaching songs so much easier and more efficient. I give lessons at a music store, and have around 45+ lessons individual lessons a week. I recommend this to nearly every student I have, current and new. Learning songs I’ve never heard before is a weekly occurrence. Being able to slow songs down to hear the small nuances of a part more clearly is great. Changing pitch to match an easier to attain tuning is a huge time saver. The circular design is the most intuitive I can imagine a tool like this could have. I’ve used audacity, Adobe’s Audition, garageband/logic to change tempo and pitch. This app produces the same great sound 1000% faster, and it’s mobile. My hopes for the app have been waning as it hadn’t been updated in 4 or so years, BUT praises be to the developer for FINALLY adding Apple Music support. It was the #1 reason students and friends didn’t use the app. Idk if the issue was Apple or the app not being a priority. Things that could be improved: Spotify compatibility- this is the biggest downside I find when referring this to my students and friends. I have a personal collections of nearly 5000 songs on my phone, but most students (and people) use streaming now. I understand that DRM is the enemy of this issue, and isn’t necessarily an issue the developer has full control over. However, this app not being able to use this common resource is making it less attractive to potential customers. A rough estimate is 2 of 5 of my students use Apple Music while the others use Spotify. There are other similar apps that have Spotify functionality through Spotify’s “musicians practice edge” feature. Please add this! Even with an in-App purchase like other tools the apps offer. I have a slew of bugs and feature tweaks I would love to share with the developer, but I’ve not been able to get in touch with them. I’ve tested this app in every way probably, I’m still a fan, and want to see it succeed. Great job, keep up the support!
