TapTheBeat Class App Reviews

Great app. Does what it is supposed to. Not something that really needs instrutions like some asked. If you make music this app should be self explanatory. GUI is ugly and should take up whole screen with bigger clickable area. My only issues.

Very good application. im a musican and sometimes i need a metronome. So having this aplication is very helpful when you dont have one around.

Dope APP. Saved me $30. Different skin options would be cool.

Meh. Great idea, but a little ugly bug.

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

Perfect tempos. 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.

Simple yet effective. I pop in and out of this application in the span of about 15 seconds. Its stripped down software keeps everything delightfully minimal. No long load times. No crash prone options. Just what I need. My bpm and i'm out. Sure I'd like some better graphics but it actually kinda makes me laugh. And its free. Heavy usage from me and the only complaint i have is the graphics. Worth the download. Worth buying with shazamm like options and better graphics.

Great for Music Production. This app is great for music production. I use this to find the tempo of my song ideas so I can set Reason to the correct tempo to record. Greatly increases the accuracy of quantization. Wish the app had an averaging function, but overall good. Great App!!!

Hey look! Macintosh System 6.0.4 is back!. This is a great program. It has that Macintosh SE/30-ish charm about it, it gets the job done, and it doesn't take a bite out of my pocketbook. I never knew that 1-bit black & white could look so good on my iPod.

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!!!

retro style for the noiz of the beat..... This is a really neat app! I REALLY love the retro Mac II SE look and feel!! So cool! The App works GREAT!

Pretty goof. Not saying this isn't nifty but I have been living without this just fine. If you have a second hand on your watch, just count how many beats in 5 seconds and multiply by 12. Not exactly rocket science.

Worthless. So you tap on it and nothing happens. I could have come up with this. And great instructions. My mind reading isn't working today, so neither does this app.

Good for live sound tech. The so-called "user interface improvement" is just -- only -- the addition of advertising. -------------------- Previous Review: Unlike a lot of these beat timing apps, this one gives the time in mS. This is perfect for setting reverb.

good. useful and pretty good. i whish it could look a little better tho, kind ugly.

Oh **** not again.... Welcome back to windows. Apple-0 Microsoft-1. Admittedly this is the perfect free app for Music Theory. But omg what an interface! Add playback clicks for iPhone AND iPod touch ( w/o earbuds ) and you get perfection in free software design.

Don't get it. I have know idea how to work this app. I thought maybe it was a metronome but it doesn't make any sounds.

awsome app. This app is really usefull, despite it's ugliness:D

Works great. Aside from the ugly interface, this program is very helpful.

Great!!!. I got it to register up to 600bpm. It rules and is the best free app yet for the musically inclined.

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

It works. That's why it has 5 stars. But I think it would be cool if you could switch skins or something, and also instead of telling me the incriments in milliseconds I would fond it more helpful to show it in bpm

Blahhhhh. Not working??? How does it work ?? Help me out!!!

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.

Thank you. It helps me at work every day, very accurate too, thank you!

Ehh. The program would be better if it was also a metronome, I mean you can change the tempo but for what reason. If it was a metronome I would love the tapping feature so I could tap along woth a song so while practicing I get the same speed that is being played...

Finally!. This is a great app! So handy. All you have to do is TAP the BEAT!

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

Good idea. Good idea but please make the ui less ugly

Searched for this one. I downloaded this a while ago and loved it. I lost all my apps and came hunting for this one because I use it like a Swiss army knife for all my musical endeavours! Great app, the graphics remind me of win3.0

Ugly but awesome. For all the people out there who can't figure out how to use this app, you press the rather large button in the middle multiple times along with a beat, and it will give you the beats per minute. Is that so difficult? It's not a metronome, it's not anything else, it's simply for the purpose of determining bpm. Now the actual review. Its interface is awful, but it's so simple and runs quickly and without glitches on my iPod touch. The breakdown of 16th notes etc is quite helpful. It's a very useful app.

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!

piece of @$%. Crashed my ipod touch...don't download it directly from the app store on you iphone/touch. wow...

Excellent!. Works really well. I just wish the user intrface was a little bit nicer looking. It's like I'm back on my old Mac I had back in the 90s.

great for DJs. indispensible DJ tool. I use it to time my own sets and the sets of others. my Allen & Heath mixer has no bpm counter, so this is an excellent addition. and it is FREE.

Simple. Been using this app for years. I find it an essential tool for my work because I do not have to approximate what tempo I am composing in - I know precisely what tempo to write down. Quick. Simple. Magnificent.

Help!. I downloaded this app. and it works great with recording! i just have one question. Dose it have a "click" to it? Dose it make a sound is what I mean? Thanks.

Awesome Ap.. It works great. Been a DJ for over 10 years and have never found anything like it. Very, very happy with it.

AWESOME. Wicked interface. Well done!

Function over beauty.. This app does what it's designed to do, and can be quite handy for musicians and DJs. Yes, it's ugly......but IF its 'graphic lite' interface keeps it operating without glitches, delays, and lags.....then DON'T CHANGE A THING. I would hate it if the UI was prettied up, but then caused lags and glitches.

Everyday use for me!. Great app, i use it more than any other. Simple and to the point! Great for finding ms to set a delay. If you don't know how to use this, then it isn't for you, that simple!

Thank you. When I broke my Treo and went to iPhone a dedicated BPM program was the thing I missed the most. There was a web app for BPM but when on EDGE it was hard to get a count I trusted as it often did not register my taps. I have to take 2 stars off for the horrendous background and icon graphics. Ugh!

THE UGLYEST BUT USEFUL APPLICATION IN THE WORLD. ITS UGLY BUT USEFUL LOL opps had caps on (tosses pc out window(no pun intented) and runs to nearest apple store and buy macbook

Gloriously basic n retro..... Gets the job done.

Band Practice. This is the most handy app at band practice. We use Boss DD-20 delay pedals and this app gives us exactly what we need. BPM conversions to ms! Thanks for such a productive app.

100% win. Probably the most used app on my iPod. Wouldn't dream of going into a set without it as a backup, and the ability to take bpm counts anywhere means time saved when hearing new songs on the road. Would definitely download again.

Pretty good. I wouldn't rely on it completely but I've done a few comparisons with other bpm counters on my computer and its usually within a bpm or two and its free so definitely worthy of downloading

Mr. I use this almost every day....very useful. Thanks

Ugly and hard to use. 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...

Useful app. Useful -something logic express doesn't have. I like it

The original and the best!. One of my most used apps, it's simple and effective, and often comes in handy when I'm curious about a songs bpm.

Nice app. Useful free app. Good for working out delay times and compression release settings. Not very pretty but handy.

Oh yeah first person to write revie. i am pro

Crashed. I was on a two hour flight, and I tried out this app near the start. My iPod stopped responding, and only when the battery drained (long, long after my flight) was I able to use it again.

Almost!. Functionable once you can acutally use as a metronome, then it will never leave my ipod. Right now its a tad useless though

Needs a bit more for DJ use. I use BPM counters to label my records by tempo. The problem with this one is that it never averages your taps, so the tempo is always fluctuating. Still, it's free!

Potential winner to my Heart. I've used the tap function on my own metronome quite often and therefore could use an app like this. Here are my comments to the programmer and other reviewers - No Instructions: The word "Tap Here" needs to be on the button. - Bad Graphics.. I would just say a little "out dated": You could add a bit of colour to stress which tempo the user is tapping (the quarter!) - Contact Data: There's nothing written on the App.. maybe I'll have to dig for it on the App store :-( - Functional Metronome: We also need to hear a tempo! It would be great if you could figure out a way to use the internal speaker for us iTouch users. Naturally, listening through the headphone jack should be an option as well. - As a percussionist, I would love to have a functioning metronome in my pocket at all times - "Subdivide and Conquer": My brain isn't always quite able to do the math for the subdividing tempi of a beat, so instead of giving the duration of one sixteenth note. Thanks for offering this FREE App. I'm looking forward with what you come up with.

Perfect. Looks don't stop this from working! I also think it's a great extra to be able to get the note length makes setting delays a breeze!! If your like other reviewers and don't know why we need tap tempo then don't get this!! It won't do anything for you!! It does not have sound and doesn't need it! Thanks.

One of the Classic Tempo Tapping Apps on iPhone. This is one of my most preferred and longest owned tempo tapping apps. Useful analytics and tapping space.

!!!. works great, love the retro graphics! Don't loose them!

Junk. This program doesn't seem to have a point. Bad graphics, no instructions, not worth the memory space.

Looks dated but works!. Probably the ugliest app I've downloaded for the iPhone but it does it's job well and it's free.

Useful little gadget. Works like a reverse metronome, and as a composer of music I find it quite useful. Who cares that the graphics are from 1990? It works wonderfully!
