Gap Click by Benny Greb App Reviews

Game Changer. This is amazing, this app makes it so much easier to take drumming to the next level!

Such a great app!. I heard about this app from Reddit after I searched for "best metronome for guitar". The gap is so good for training myself to maintain a tempo! The interface is very intuitive except for the tap circle, but I just learned what that does from reading a review on my way to write this one. I went and tried it really quick, and it's perfect! So useful! I've only used the default sound because I find it pleasant, so no need to mess with it. By contrast, I checked out some youtube BPM videos yesterday, and the sound effect was so awful, I just couldn't. I love that it keeps playing even if the app is put in the background, and it even plays while the Voice Memo app is recording! (The metronome will be on the recording though.) The only thing I don't see that I would like to have is the ability to store tempos (so I can quickly grab the tempo I was last using for each of the different songs I’m practicing). Update: after using the app for a bit, there are two things I want to note. Firstly, the app volume adjustment doesn't seem to work. The volume seems the same loudness when I’m using other apps as it always has—even when I have it set to 10%. At 10%, I would think there should be a discernible difference. The second issue is when the app first loads or when the output audio changes devices, it pops up on the screen which device, and while it displays, the app is unresponsive. I personally don't care to see the device displayed like this, but what I really want is to be able to hit play right when I open the app and not have to wait for the "Speaker" overlay to disappear. Thanks!

Amazing metronome. Hello! Amazing metronome. But there is a huge request. Please add a 1/4 size.

The best!!. Campers have been waiting for this app, and it doesn’t disappoint. As expected from Benny, one app that is versatile and as fun as it is challenging!

Cool idea but not finished. You can’t select anything but the most basic quarter note time signatures. You can select 7/4 but not 7/8. Don’t charge 3 bucks for an app that isn’t finished.

Very useful tool. So I just read that Benny Greb released this app and I was very intrigued. I love his drumming and sense of timing/groove. I mainly use the Soundbrenner metronome app but this is different than that. After installing and checking out the features I have found this to be an exceptional metronome app tool for timing development. First, there isn’t any other mobile metronome apps which can do this. Second, I was able to understand and navigate the app within a minute. The UI is very clean and simple to understand. The many options for subdivision are great with both duple and triple partials. The idea of alternating with gap measure subdivisions along with the click is genius. Third, very easy to change the tempo either you using the arrows or scrolling the circle around (like the classic iPod). The tap tempo is also a useful feature. I know this just released so I cannot count this as a negative but the meters which can be selected are ONLY in simple meter. 3/4 up to 7/4. Would be nice (and I’m sure in future developments) to have compound meters such as 3/8 up to 12/8 to allow for beat groupings. Notably 5/8 or 7/8. (3/8, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8 can kind of be felt with the 4/4 in triplets). Otherwise this is awesome and look forward to using this app while practicing. I’ll be sure to add more to this come future developments! Congrats.

Great and Innovative App. I really like the design of the app. It gives you everything you need in a metronome and then some. The customization of the sound is really nice, as well as the ability to add in silent bars. The only big issue is that you have to have the phone on in order to hear the metronome. It would be great if you could close your phone and still have the app running. Regardless, I’d recommend this app to anyone looking for a metronome application.

What are you doing, Gap Click?!. I haven’t used Gap Click all day, but it’s consumed 23% of my phone’s battery. Hopefully it’s not doing anything nefarious.

Instant benefit. While this may not have the bells and whistles of a really nice metronome, this thing is still an amazing tool. I saw instant improvement in my soloing and fills and just timekeeping in genera…. after a few practice sessions. it has proven itself to be an Absolutely essential practice tool going forward

Been waiting for this one!. This is a great app!!! I first learned about the gap click practice method from Antonio Sanchez and after hearing a lot of other musicians talking about it (including Benny Greb) I started working on my time with the “Double Time” Metronome and the “Time Trainer App”. When this one came out though I had to check it out. It’s really good and it has some features that the other’s don’t, including being able to place the click on different subdivisions (such as the “e” or “a” beat). I also really love the different time signatures you can put in, which is what was missing in the other met apps. As far as improvements, I will say I would like the option to put those e’s and a’s on the 1st bar selection - in fact probably mirror the options in both selection wheels. Other than that, the layout is very simple and beautiful. I’m enjoying it overall so far.

Time signatures.. Good concept. Sorely lack more more/custom time signatures. Hopefully they’ll update and fix this.

Great app! Just one detail.. This is a great app! By far Benny is one of the most influential drummers from the last decade. I do like the GAP concept and how it helps to improve timing and consistency. I just wonder if they can add a timer in the settings menu. As a musicians is crucial to work on a variety of things. And being able to keep on track how much time we focus on one specific thing, helps to improve time practicing.

Best app ever. I’ve had this app for only 2 full days and I’m already seeing improvements in my timing. 😮. If you think you have good timing, this will really put you in your place. This is now my new favorite app. Metronomes don’t help much with timing for me so when I saw this I was skeptical I thought I have good enough timing then I saw it was sooo cheap so I bought it. The next thing I know, I’m realizing that my timing is not as good as I thought. I’m already way better. Thank you Benny Greb

Boss Dr. Beat in your pocket!. The fact that this gives you nearly all the functionality of the $100+ metronomes of yesteryear in a snappy little app? Brilliant. Easily makes it way into my rotation of practice aids!

Useful, Simple, Cheap.... ...what more could you ask for? I have so many metronome apps and this one is truly unique.

Great App, Needs a few things. Great app and clean UI. It just need more subdivisions (5s, 7s etc). More complex time signatures would be nice too.

Great Click. Just got this and haven’t used the more advanced features, but being able to drop the clock out is an incredibly valuable feature. No other clock i now does this and it’s SO good for my timing, ear, and sensitivity. A really good tool for real improvement.

AMAZING!. This app will quickly expose any timing issues you may have, which is great because then you’ll know what you need to work on! The UI I very simple and straightforward 👍🏻 definitely worth the price

A Must Have. I started playing drums 5 years and 9 months ago. For the first 5 years and 4 months, I always practice with a metronome. In a way, I was limiting myself. A few months ago I was recommended to try to stretch myself a little bit and practice without one. That was great for me and my development, and a lot of fun. It also affords a lot of freedom and spontaneity, which is important. I noticed though that whenever I tried to go back to the metronome I’d find it boring. I just lost that connection with it, and I felt like I might just never again be interested in using a metronome. I saw Benny’s video on YouTube and figured ah, what the heck, I’ll get it. Have to say I have zero regrets because this thing is a blast and makes playing with a metronome fun, creative and challenging. The user interface is simple yet layered, and affords a ton of possibilities to the user. Additionally, the design is pleasing to look at so that’s never a bad thing. Overall, I highly recommend the Gap Click. I’m excited to finally be excited to use a metronome again, and I can see that this will really improve my groove and timing. Thanks Benny and your dev team!

Must-Have. Best mobile rhythm app I’ve found yet!

Critique. I enjoy the app, but I feel that it has a lot of holes. If I have the metronome, in 4/4 time, play a measure of quarter notes, then leave 3 measures of rest it ends up dropping some beats in the measure that the click plays; it might play … 2 3 4 or 1 2 3 … adding a beat of silence when there should be a click. When it comes to options I feel like it should a greater range for tempo, it should go up to 400, it’s not necessary since no one needs quarters going and 400, half notes would be better, but it would be expected for the app to have a large range of tempos instead having to use, for example, 200bpm to imply half notes at 400bpm. Also when using a speaker it sometimes just plays a low drone, making restart the app until it functions properly.

Can’t leave app/lock phone. This app would be wonderful if you could leave the app or lock your phone, and the metronome kept playing in the background. Sometimes I need to reference a photo of sheet music, save battery by locking my phone, or use the camera on my phone to record myself, and I’d love for the metronome to keep running when I do those things. Hoping this is an easy fix that gets added soon!

Incredible App!. I love this app. This is something that I’ve been looking for for a long time. The design is super simple, and makes the app very easy to figure out. I love the changing color display as well. My only complaint is the lack of features. I hope in the future that more time signatures can be implemented, as well as more subdivisions in the “content” section. This would make the app all the more useful. It would be nice if you could add more than 8 bars as well. However, despite these downsides, the app is incredible, and such a great tool for any musician.

It’s from Benny. Come on now.. Anything from Benny that has to do with groove is way worth it, and at 2.99. It will be the best investment

If you’re on the fence, get it. I don’t even really leave reviews like that, but this has everything I would need in a metronome. You can even tap a rhythm. I’m happy I found this so early into studying guitar.

Incredible tool. This thing just kicked my ass! Do you think you have good timing? Nope, you’re wrong. And this will prove it to you! I’ve never had so much fun being destroyed in my practice session. And there is almost limitless potential in the creative ways you can utilize this in your practice. This is by far the best money I’ve ever spent on a practice tool, worth so much more than what they are charging. Buy it! But I warn you, this thing will destroy you and send you back to square one, practicing on the fundamentals. It will make you a better musician, I guarantee it!

Sieze the time!. Wonderful app indeed. Any chance of including feature on iWatch?

Could use more time signatures and higher max tempo. This isn’t the metronome to use when working on complex prog tunes with changing meters, but it wasn’t designed for that. I don’t expect this to be a full-featured metronome, and there are other apps for that. However, it would be nice if there were a wider selection of time signatures. I can’t imagine it being a big deal to give users the ability to simply type in the number of beats per measure, for anyone who sometimes plays in 11 or whatever. Also, the tempo only goes up to 250. The slightly imperfect workaround is to turn on 8th note clicks. If you play jazz, you can double the tempo by feeling the clicks as being on 2 and 4 only, although sadly I’m not used to that yet. That said, it’s great despite its limitations. It’s been fun and frustrating to discover just how unsteady my jazz ride pattern can get when I’m playing in the 300+ range, or how certain licks cause me to rush or drag.

Great app. Love this app! It would be awesome if there was a timer available in the app for practice, instead of having to use my phone timer when practicing. Other than that it’s flawless!

This app will change the way you hear music!. This is my new go-to metronome. Gap click exercises improved my internal clock, my confidence, as well as my creativity around my drum set. This app makes it incredibly easy and convenient. It is slick and highly versatile. Highly recommended and worth the money.

Battery eater!. This is good app but, unfortunately it consumes MUCH battery. When I check the battery usage statistics, I see Gap Click is in first place In all time my phone is standby because of sort of “Background activity” that I can understand! To the developers: Please fix this issue in next version

Best metronome there is.. This app is hands down the best metronome I’ve ever used. It helps you build a rock solid internal metronome. It is extremely powerful but not bogged down with useless buttons to tweak. It is elegantly and simply designed.

No 9/8. Great metronome, but how come there’s no 9/8 option?

Great! Some recommendations though.... I love it! Definitely a convenient way to learn different subdivisions and internalizing various bpm’s. Would wish though for a few things if possible: 1) For the content to not be slip between the “CLICK” and “GAP”. It sacrifices the simplicity of the interface but it adds more exercises that can be done with it. 2) For the option of changing the bars for each “CLICK” and/or “GAP” repeat. It would be nice to cycle through different subdivisions while playing the same thing over and over to cement your understanding of that beat/rhythm. 3) For more (maybe even custom?) subdivisions. Especially for 16th notes, it would be nice i.e. on the ‘e’ and ‘a’ of every for 16th note grouping per whole note (1e+a).

Liquid gold. This app builds your internal clock like no other. It’s also extremely easy to use and looks great. Fantastic work Benny!
