Tempo Advance - Metronome for Negative User Reviews

✓ Tempo 1 is better.I am very confused with Tempo 2. You cannot enter a time signature directly and instead you have to fiddle around with controls to make a numerator and denominator. Sound is no better. And the orientation does not change automatically. And given that other developers make their updates free, this is a bit of a rip off, but just as well they made a separate app because Tempo 1 is better..HamwhackerVersion: 0

✓ Are you kidding me?Great features, but way too hard to adjust tempo on the fly. Why do they give us tiny buttons for changing the tempo? It’s easier to accidentally change the meter. What kind of animals do they think we are? Enlarge the plus and minus buttons significantly and I will change my rating to 5 stars..Disembodied LoafVersion: 2.4

✓ Pretty goodI was hoping there would be a bar/signature time counter. They should put that in.Jerome RobinsonVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Update now causes app to crash!The new update now means I can't open the app on my ipad. Shame really as it was a great app..Markis90Version: 2.0.3

✓ Some good features but also problemsI bought this app with a specific goal; I needed to put together a click-track for a complicated piece of modern music. I understood from reviews etc. that this was possible by programming a series of different songs (with different tempi/metres as required) to play successively using the Auto Advance setlist playback feature. Rather disappointed to discover, having laboriously programmed in all my sections, that there is in fact a small pause in playback between each 'song' or section, which makes it useless for my purposes as the flow is interrupted at each of my metre changes so I cannot use it for practice. On the plus side, although it is a bit time-consuming to work out how to use it, this is a good metronome with an unusually high maximum BPM of 800 and the polyrhythm features are good. If this annoying gap between auto-advance songs could be fixed, I would be recommending this to all my colleagues. Until then, a rhythmic glitch in playback seems like quite a significant drawback in the functioning of an otherwise useful rhythmic tool..SpekulaaVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Difficult interfaceI thought the old design was more simple and easier to use. But my main issue is the setlist. Its become difficult to organize my setlist, and the buttons to change tempo are still too small and make it difficult to change the tempo mid-session.The accountVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Great AppThis does almost everything I want - I use it to sync audio and video through transmission chains... It just would be perfect if you could shorten the length of the flash for the visual indication... I love the mellow ness of the fade in and fade out, but an option to change this would be appreciated!.UnahaClospVersion: 1.1.8

✓ Updates were way to drastic. You lost me.Man, I had all my gigs and sets all programmed into your metronome for live shows. I chose your metronome specifically because of the old interface layout and ease for which I could use it on a gig. Now you've gone and totally changed the layout, I can't use it. I already have another metronome that does all your fancy improvements (in fact it looks exactly the same as one of them - good luck not getting sued for plagiarism on that one!). And the sounds aren't that good either. On a positive note, it's now become a good practice metronome but for live use - the layout is not gonna work. Pity... Oh well..JustwannarecordmymusicVersion: 2.0

✓ Still needs work but worth supportingYeah it’s good and has lots of potential, but the interface is not very user-friendly and the tutorial is cursory at best. I don’t know why they can’t put together a decent manual that you can download from the website..HirezaudioVersion: 2.4

✓ Won’t let me export the set listI love this app- but there definitely some bugs for me- the share function has never worked for me- it just say device isn’t configured for mail- which is untrue. I’ve rebooted and reinstalled the app and still nothing- love to practice with it but I’ll never put another detailed song into the app because it’s a waste of time. If frozen ape helps me fix this I will make my review 5 stars.Wants to play progVersion: 2.4

✓ TackyControls are hard to figure out and impossible to use. It can't decide whether I want 30 or 230 bpm. Buttons difficult to understand and no 'tap' feature that I could find. My $40 Boss met. outperforms this app..TheDrummer00Version: 1.2.1

✓ Tempo program more usefulI got the regular Tempo program but I didn’t like the digital voice count in. Aside from that I really like the regular Tempo program, especially the bar tracker. I bought the Tempo Advanced app hoping it would give me more control, in particular over the count in. Lo and behold... it doesn’t even have a count in... so I paid money for an app by the same developer that’s supposed to be an advanced version, but in fact gives me less! The regular Tempo app is simpler, less cluttered, and more useful. Don’t fall for the Mike Mancini hype. Just stick with the regular Tempo app..Philjazz123Version: 2.2.4

✓ Overly complicated.That is all. Set it to 2/4 110bpm and get twice the ticks I want. So in the trash you go..Dave Canada aaaVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Speeds up and slows downSo, I'm not totally convinced that I'm having this issue because of my phone, as this app has done this before on a separate phone, but there seems to be a problem where the tempo doesn't always stay steady. It's noticeable during practice sessions where the tempo will seem to fluctuate slightly, in that it slows down by just a small margin and catches back up after a few beats. I used to think this might be an issue if there are multiple apps open that tax my phones processing power, but it seems to do it no matter what. I have other tempo apps that I use regularly that don't do this, but this app does. It used to be fine, so I believe there was a past update that came with a bug that needs to be addressed..GuitaristNateVersion: 2.4

✓ No way!What a waste of money! It crashes and now doesn't open at all! Don't do it..Fred BeerVersion: 1.2.3

✓ DifficultThis is NOT user friendly. Their minimal version is easier. The description implies that you can create a tune in the set list with multiple tempos, time signatures and even gradual changes (rit), but I sure cant figure out how and the help doesn't explain it..Mad MalletVersion: 1.4.1

✓ How do you program a song?!Your website doesn't work so I can not access support..DelodessaVersion: 2.1

✓ It sure is a metronome!!It clicks in time so that’s good. The initial layout is pretty clunky, I have no idea why they made it look like archery practice, but once you figure out the layout it’s okay. I think more time should have been spent on functionality rather than making a fancy GUI. I mostly use my metronome apps for teaching and I can already foresee the new layout confusing the younger students at first, but that’s not too big of a deal. On my phone the tempo drag can only drag to faster tempos and can’t be dragged to a slower tempo while in the vertical screen. I’m sure it’s just a bug with the iPhone4 so I’m not too worried about it since it drags tempos fine in the horizontal screen mode. It would be nice if you could remove the preset/setlist screen, or have it in a different mode. Say if you had a “gig” view you could toggle that would go directly to the set lists so they wouldn’t always be in view. It would also be nice if you could set the "gradual speed-up" and “timer” options how you wanted and then it would be able to turn them off and on at the top of the screen rather than having to go through the options menu for each to toggle them off and on. Another thing that would be great is if the timer function could be reset when you stop the metronome. It seems weird to me that you have to wait for the timer to reach zero before the timer resets. Say you start the metronome too fast for what you wanted, when you have the timer running, and now you wanted to start all over again. Too bad because the timer will stay on whatever time it was on when you stopped the metronome and you’ll have to wait for it to “zero out” before the timer is at the full time you wanted. All in all in lights up and beeps in time, but the layout is kind of funny. Is it worth $4? Not really, but it has the functions I needed so I had to pay for it now that the functions I needed are no longer on the cheaper version..Ian McElroyVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Time signature problems.The app is accurate with it's timing, and it would be useful for someone trying to play 49 notes in one bar with perfect even-ness, but the time signature system is terrible. Try get 7/8. It's impossible with this since that would be a prime number and to get the time signatures with this you have to times the beats by the subdivisions. Change the time sig system and it would be amazing, otherwise it's of no use to me..YngviFreyrVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Can ConcurLike others have said, this is hands a down a great app. You will not need another. I’ve used it for many years. But some of us may be looking for a watch update. I’d pay for that. 😎 With an adjustable haptic amount would be especially cool. Hey Developers, You’ll notice there’s no market for this really. It would be yours for the taking. 🤣.McpercVersion: 2.4

✓ Missing TutorialI first bought the Tempo app which I am able to work just fine. The idea of polyrhythms and more complex timing structure was intriguing to me, so I bought Tempo Advance. Sadly, I wasn't able to understand how complex tempos were structured in a "song" or how multiple tempos were supposed to fit into the song without consuming a huge amount of space. I went over the videos and in app tutorails a dozen times if once. Since I read and use technical manuals on everything from automotive ABS braking systems to ship board systems on aircraft carriers, I expect an extensive amount of detail, but that's just me. I reached out to the company twice by email for help, but never received a reply either time. I suppose if the company is not interested, neither am I. From reviews I see most are able to use the app fine, but to what capacity I have no idea. I'm going to return this app and keep the Tempo app but I am a bit disappointed. What all of this tells me is that the "developer" and the person who "wrote" the app are not one in the same....Teacher4u2cVersion: 2.2.2

✓ Hiccups during gigs!I like the capabilities of this app, but three separate times during my rehearsal tonight it had a hiccup a couple of minutes into playing and I had to play the rest of the song with the click on the off beats. This happened on three of eleven songs. I had the phone in airplane mode, was using Bluetooth headphones. iPhone 11pro max. Latest iOS update. Please fix or tell me what settings to change to prevent hiccups during gigs..Shoparound192837465Version: 2.4
