Tempo Magic for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not impressedI bought this to increase the BPM of songs to use in my classes. 50% of the time it works ok. The rest of the time you will be well into the routine and the song will jump back to the start! Total nightmare!!! Will be sourcing different software to use as this is of NO use to me at all!!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Do not buy if you use Apple Music!!You won't be able to use this app if you have downloaded music from Apple Music!! We use apple family share and I can't use any of them at music. Would have been nice to know this ahead of time...I would not have paid for this one!!!.Version: 3.1.3
✓ Unhappy fitness instructorHi, I have been using your app for a few months and it was fab, past few weeks it skips and jumps the whole way through my playlist (I use it for fitness classes) it's ridiculous and my classes are looking very unprofessional and it's hard to dance to the beat if it skips every track. Please can you tell me if this will be fixed? I used to go backwards and forwards to select tracks and now it takes ages to register I have pressed backwards or forwards a Nd then starts slow and eventually speeds up. It really is awful and hope you can sort it out Thanks Helen ---------- The following information allows us to assist you better. Please do not modify. App Version: 2.1.1 System Name: iPhone OS System Version: 6.0.1 Machine: iPhone3,1 Model: iPhone.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Lacks obvious featuresApparently there’s no way to make it repeat the same song. It seems to always go to the next song without a pause. Why lea be out such a common feature? Makes it unusable for me..Version: 3.1.5
✓ App simply won't openI have an iPhone 4s, and as of the last update the app simply won't open. I get the opening screen with the logo for 2 seconds, then back to my home screen. I even re-downloaded the app. I use this everyday, please fix this..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Tempo slows as tracks progress & cuts cuts randomlyI use this app for a while to teach cardio classes. It worked for a while and then all of a sudden one day the music just stops when it moves to the next track after about five seconds. I deleted the playlist, I force closed the app,I uninstalled and reinstalled the app — and nothing works. Don’t waste your time. Use power music now.Version: 3.1.5
✓ Used to be reliableI have used this for over three years. Recently became inconsistent and unreliable. I have tried uninstalling and deleting and reinstalling but it doesn’t fix issues. Also I tried the yes music service in past but the tracks are not consistently formatted so I discontinued yes service and went back to purchasing music through iTunes. This app was allowing me to use my purchased pre-formatted fitness album s but now it only works sometimes.Version: 3.1.5
✓ If I could leave 0 stars, I would!None of my music will add to a playlist on the app. I use Apple Music, and every time I try to add a song, the app says it is removed because it says it doesn’t support music from 3rd parties. The 5 songs that did download won’t play. There is an error message that says “couldn’t get sample buffer”. This app is a scam. I want my money back!!!.Version: 3.1.4
✓ UpdateAfter new update it doesn't stay open anymore. Very frustrating when I need to use it to teach a dance class this morning. Used to be really good!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Worthless with iCloud/Apple MusicIf you use and download substantial amounts of music from Apple Music beware those songs won’t work with this app. So essentially my entire library of music was rejected and won’t play in the app. Developer needs to provide clearer warning of this before wasting $5..Version: 3.1.4
✓ Good sound quality but missing key featuresGood sound quality but not enough practical features. As an instructor I would like a playlist that a - could have individual tempo changes to different songs in a playlist (example - first 2 128 bpm for warm up, move to higher for the body & have cool down back to 90-100); b - have ability to save multiple adjusted playlists for later. The current set up makes it useless to 'set it & forget it' for classes. I was disappointed with what it was missing for the cost of the app..Version: 3.0.3
✓ New update is horrible.I wish there was a way to get the old version back. This new version does not lock the BPMs for an entire playlist like the previous versions. It resets for each track. Please bring the old version back or fix this one..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Waste of moneyI can't believe I paid $6.50 for this. I run at a pace of 180 steps per minute and thought this app would be great to set my playlists to this pace. Even when you 'lock' the BPM in the app however, it changes for every song and doesn't get anywhere near 180 BPM at it's maximum. Not sure how they claimed this would be great for fitness instructors etc??.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Started off so well....Then went downhill!! It continually stops when I'm teaching, which drives me insane!! Totally unreliable app, sort it out!!.Version: 2.1
✓ Update problemsAs a dance instructor the original version was fabulous. Changing the speeds & navigating an 80 song playlist was very easy. The latest upgrade created some problems. With the original version I could flick through the playlist quickly to find a song appropriate for the dance I was teaching but now the fast forward or back is slow & cumbersome. It is very annoying for a class of students to stand around waiting when I try to fast forward or back 20 or30 places. The buttons are also small & unless you hit them exactly in the right place it doesn’t move. I can live with the speed adjustment although it can change one or two beats without touching. The button function was more permanent. It is still a good app but a lot less user friendly..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Lost all my songs!One if the recent upgrades has meant my playlist has been completely wiped! Not good enough..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Please let us add songs to playlist without stopping the music!!!!!!!Very frustrating..Version: 2.0.2
✓ GoodThis app is good but songs don't fade into each other and would be better if you could create multiple playlist not just add to existing .....Version: 3.0
✓ Great appI like this app very much. My suggestion to improve it would be the ability to change the tempo of songs individually within a playlist. I might take a CD that each song is 128 bpm but I want the first four songs to be 136, and then the remainder to be 120. I have to stop class and manually change it. If I could change each song’s Tempo individually and save it, it would be fabulous!.Version: 3.1.4
✓ Needs to be fixed!!This app used to work for me but now it’s skipping over every song, changing the speed, and will start a song over halfway through. This makes it so hard to get through the playlist for the fitness class I instruct. Please fix the bugs ASAP!!.Version: 3.1.5
✓ Ruined a Great AppI wonder if LoLo reads the recent reviews about this app. I emailed them a couple of months ago complaining about how unstable the app has become. They wrote back that they didn’t develop the app, they purchased it and nobody else is complaining. This app was very dear to my heart for many years but it’s ruined now. The sad thing is that no competitors exit..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Playlists?Even though the update says you can add multiple playlists I am still unable to! Otherwise a great app..Version: 3.0
✓ Pros/consI've been using this app for a while now and on the whole I think this app is great. Like being able to create and save playlists. It would be great to transfer those playlists to iTunes though. What I find frustrating is not being able to change all the bpms at once. Having to do each one individually is time consuming. Also, the bpm lock "slips" when you return to the app after leaving app for a while. For instance, I had to change 119 bpm to 90 bpm. I had to exit the app and when I came back to it the bpm went to 119, or higher. I had to go back in and change everything all again. It also seems that the Tempo can't find the bpm a lot of the time. Sometimes it's easier to go back to a good old cd and pitch control from the machine, but having access to Tempo Magic Pro has its merits as well..Version: 3.0
✓ What happened?I have been using this app for years and have loved it. The latest update has removed the option to change either by bpm or percent. It is now only by percent and this cripples me now as I have been using both options for different classes. I don’t have the option to babysit my music as would be necessary. Congratulations on making something that was working so well, suddenly so useless..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Ok but not particularly useful for djsDoes what it says in the tin, but that's all. No cue points no track scanning and a 1 second delay updating the pitch all make it pretty impossible to mix with. I'm a little disappointed with this..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Very disappointedThis app does NOT work with Apple Music. Can I get a refund?.Version: 3.1.5
✓ Useless!What a pointless app! Not compatible with Apple Music. 👎🏼.Version: 3.1.5
✓ PoorCannot get any song playing at any speed without breaks.Version: 3.0
✓ Stopped workingIt use to be that the app would just skip songs however this app stopped working altogether. I cannot play any songs and I cannot contact customer service. Im giving it 3 stars because it had worked at some point and perhaps it will start working again. If it does not I will be requesting a refund..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Won’t play with iTunes libraryI’ve tried everything to get this to work with my iTunes library but it won’t sync my music due to protected DRM Tracks so without spending a fortune to stop that, what’s the point? Please feel free to let me know if there is a way around it👍🏻.Version: 3.1.5
✓ Doesn’t work consistentlyI have use this app for several years in my group exercise classes. And most recently just to work out at home. And I cannot tell you how many times I go to the app and all my music is gone and I have to re-download everything. Right now I’m trying to add a song that I bought on iTunes twice and it won’t allow me to add it but I’ve used it in the app before. Tons of bugs don’t know if there’s any fixes along the way. Just don’t rely on it. It works great when it works!.Version: 3.1.5
✓ Great app but could improveI've been looking for an app like this for ages and as an aerobics instructor it really helps with getting the music right for my classes. So overall, thank you for developing this. However, when I press the playlist icon whilst a song is playing it stops the music and resets the BPM. Surely you can add songs on the go?? Anyway, thanks again..Version: 2.0
✓ Fitness instructorI am disappointed that the app took an album from the library and created gaps between songs..Version: 3.0.3
✓ This does not work!!!!I have used this in class to change the BPM of aerobics music…it will start shifting BPMs in the middle of class, or crash, or be so slow that it is useless. I am going to try power music's app to see if that does any better then this piece of crapola..Version: 2.2.3
✓ Please add shuffleGreat app use it all the time for spin bike. Desperately needs shuffle option!!!.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Not working after upgradeGreat to see all the changes (especially the shuffle), but after the upgrade my tracks either take a long time to load or don't play at all. what happened?.Version: 2.0
✓ CrapCan't use any of the music I've purchased through iTunes. What a waste of $8!!! Save your money!.Version: 3.1.2
✓ Poor appNot very accurate.Version: 3.1.1
✓ PI have used this app for dance classes for about a year now, unfortunately the last update shortened the period between tracks so now that the 2 or 3 second period has gone I don't have chance to intro the next dance. So now I have to move on to another programme. Bad move on your side, there was no real need to change it, it was fine before..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Expensive confusing and wont work:(.Version: 1.3.6
✓ UselessLoved this app before now can’t add music. Totally wasted my money don’t buy.Version: 3.1.5
✓ Over Rated!While this works in theory, you have to classify each song you want to change at the 150 bpm in order to give the full range of bpm options. Not great. 😡😡.Version: 3.1.3
✓ Almost perfect app for me but...This app is great for my DJing, as I don't always need lappy, audio 8 ect, depends on the gig. The only problem is it never starts when I pusy the button. I can't straight out drop a track, I've gotta "pitch mix" the track for another few bars before its in. Makes my job much harder, but then again easier. .. Great up, only¿.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Disappointed in the Lock BPM functionFor the price, this app was very disappointing. + on the positive side, It did show the BPM of this songs it had analysed which was nice (however there are free programs for this) and converts tempo well however: - Despite saying it does not import and alters straight from your playlist. You still need to import songs into their 'playlist' and it only stores 50 at a time - If the BMP of a track wasn't recognised you would lose your locked tempo. Because I wear my system on an armband, I need the lock mode to stay constant without having to take my iphone off to manually readjust - It doesn't allow you to set a lock mode manually.. that is you have to find a song with a high enough BPM to set your lock mode to 160 in the first place..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Been using this app for YEARS and now it’s doesn’t work correctlyThis app was perfect....until the most recent update. My music will no longer lock at a percent. Instead, it changes every track, and I have to keep adjusting it throughout my classes. I hope they release a fix for this ASAP. I also contacted their support regarding this, but haven’t received a response..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Don't UPDATE!!!I have been a fan of this app for about 6 months now, however, since the latest update, I've had to go back to DJay!!! I'm a dance fitness instructor and have found the new buffering feature plays absolute havoc with my songs. Some songs will restart 40 secs into the song, other times it will skip to the next song halfway thru and other times it will cut out for about half a second and start where it left off! I have found other instructors have found the same thing has happened to them! We spend all our time hyping a class up, only for it to fall flat due to this stupid buffering feature you obviously haven't spent enough time on perfecting!! FIX IT!!!.Version: 2.1
✓ DisappointedI bought the app because it said I could use music in my iTunes library. False! Every single song or album I tried to add came back with a block that iTunes does not allow third parties access to their library etc..Version: 3.1.4
✓ Good interface; playlist management and BPM slider needs some work.PROS: Definitely better than some of the other tempo apps out there. Interface is simple enough to use and the big slider makes things easy when jogging or working out. The slider allows for a nice range of tempo change. The tempo percentage slider works perfectly. CONS: A little pricey for an app, and I'm not convinced it's worth it. BPM tempo change is a little buggy - like any BPM detector, there will be some songs where it can't pick up a beat, but there are times where it seems to be constantly adjusting and can't pick up obvious beats. Song list can't be shuffled, so you either have to manually add things in the order you'd like, or hope you like listening to playlists in the same order every time. Song list can't be edited once running - if you forget to add a song, you need to re-add the entire playlist rather than adding or removing an individual song. IMPROVEMENTS: It would be great if this app could read manually entered BPM info in the MP3's tags, rather than having to autodetect all the time, especially with some of the slower songs the beat detection doesn't work with. The playlist management needs some work: the ability to shuffle at the very least, and the ability to modify a playlist (i.e. add an additional song/remove a song) rather than having to start from the beginning each time would be nice. BOTTOM LINE: if you're looking for something that will change tempo by a certain %, maybe for a dance class or DJing, this app works well and is likely worth the little extra cost. If you're looking for something that will maintain a constant beat across songs for cycling or jogging or something, BPM detection is spotty and this app doesn't maintain a constant beat terribly well. The big slider interface could be really good for on-the-go adjustment, but the poor playlist management really inhibits it - you really need to plan your playlist ahead of time..Version: 3.1.3
✓ Inaccurate bpmFurther to my last review I have tried this app with several more tracks an it seems only to inaccurate with a few of the tracks I have, so in retrospect it may be of some use. It's worth a try!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Aerobic instructorYour upgrade is horrible scrubbing is cause breaks on between song and static sounds - old version was better! It's frustrating when instructing......always stops and looses a beat!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Cant figure it outI’m pretty tech savvy, but I can’t figure this one out. I’m trying to add a playlist, or rather ANYTHING from my iTunes library (all downloaded from the cloud) and whenever I do, I get the error message below. What gives? Please tell me there’s a simple fix. Hate to think I’ve just wasted $5.99. There was a problem adding tracks If you use iTunes Match, please download the tracks you’d like to play. Additionally, Apple does not allow third party applications to access DRM protected tracks (annotated as ‘protected aac’ in iTunes on your computer). The following tracks have been removed:.Version: 3.1.4
✓ UnreliableIt skips, I now use DJay.Version: 2.5.2
✓ Why is it not showing up on my screen ?Not showing up in my Home Screen? Like other apps do when you download it. Since you connected to Apple Music or iTunes it makes it harder for me to link my fitness workout music to it? I use it to teach fitness classes and it is great to do Tabatas with it because I can change the tempo slower or faster now I can’t access anything even before I could use other music or fitness music to add to y playlist now I can’t ? The original version was so much better..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Use to love the app! Now it’s a pain!I use to love this app, but now not so much! It’s not compatible with the new phones. I’ve been using this app for over 5 years, I’ve recently got a new phone. And all of my older music will not convert. Only the things that are bought now will work, which is a pain when you’re teaching and using the app. Would love it if you would update and fix..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Very badThe app is tells you first to add song from your itune but actually doesn't let me do that. I have to pay $14 a month for their app to get music. What a waste of money paying for this app. Not helpful at all..Version: 3.1.3
✓ Go backI’m sorry to say but I do not like this updated version of Tempo Magic. I have been using this app for years in all my classes. It used to be easy to adjust the tempo and skip to next song and now there is a delay. When your teaching a class you can’t have a pause or delay and it’s very difficult to adjust the tempo. Everything was super easy to use before and flowed excellent!! Please go back or fix. As a instructor I don’t have time to handle my iPod. I want to push a bottom and have it respond immediately. Please Help.Version: 3.1.5
✓ Very disappointedThis app says that it’ll let you save the tempo and as soon as you switch the song it completely changes your “locked” tempo. So disappointed because I wouldn’t have bought this app if I knew that..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Keeps crashingWorked well until the iOS 5 upgrade and now crashes continuously.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Great app, major exceptionLove Tempo Magic because it is easy to import songs and modify beats per min — super helpful for organized exercise activities. However, it is NOT compatible with Apple Music. Had I known this sooner, I would definitely not have purchased the app. The majority of songs I want to speed up or slow down are Apple Music downloads, so this limitation is quite frustrating..Version: 3.1.4
✓ Nice app needs a few tweaksIf you could Browse for the next track, and be able to select (scale) where you want to play in the track it would be a full 5 star rating for me :).Version: 1.3.6
✓ New version is SLOWPlease fix the new update. I had the old version (1st one ever made) and managed to not update until today when it forced me to update . No it’s SO slow moving from one song to the other!! It’s frustrating!! I rather have the old version with no images!!! Please please go back to the old version. I need to have fast moving speed when changing songs to keep my class going. I may need to find a new app if this isn’t fixed….Version: 3.1.5
✓ TerribleI can't get a single track to play smoothly on my iPhone 4S. They jump all the time and do not play smoothly at the original tempo, let alone an increased one..Version: 3.0
✓ New updateThe text is too small!! I loved the old player, I can barely see my songs now....the app works great, I’ve been using it for years, the support is great too, quick response always....just enlarge the font on the new player, I can be using my reader glasses in class!! Lol, thanks.Version: 3.1.5
✓ Keeps skipping to next songWhy does it skip to next song b4 first song has finished playing & then plays next song over the top of the first song! Have airport on & no alarms! Didn't used to do this!!! Aggggh! Very embarrassing during a class! Pks fix! Thank u!!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Doesn't work with Apple musicIt never states anywhere in the details that most Apple Music downloads will not work on it. The advantage of Apple Music is to reduce the cost of your music. Wasted money purchasing something that I have to now buy music in another way..Version: 3.1.3
✓ Flaky as h3llThis app is so awesome except when it's playing music it's not supposed to be playing (which happens at least once a class for me). I've figured out that when I replay a track (for our "Turbo" section) I need to completely shut the app down and restart to continue the class, otherwise it plays the track ahead of the one that's listed (it plays the wrong song). If I don't restart the app but manually make it play the correct song I will be stuck doing that for every track for the remainder of the class (annoying to say the least, our class is continuous cardio, NO BREAKS!!!!). Occasionally the app gets REALLY screwy and I delete it from my phone and reinstall, fingers crossed that works. Just now I was practicing and in the middle of a track the music started over from the beginning, although it still listed the correct track (about 35 mins into the class). I wish there was a better app out there but I haven't found one with the same functionality this one had. I even paid for the "pro" version of tempo magic. This silly app has been driving me nuts for years! Someone please fix or make a better one!!!!!.Version: 3.1.3
✓ The app does not recognize song trimmingI removed a few seconds at the end of the songs in my playlist (using iTunes) in order to have a gapless mix. But TempoMagic does not recognize these adjustments and it continues to play the tracks in its original time..Version: 3.0.3
✓ It was absolutely perfect until the update.The update changed the scroll bar from vertical to horizontal; making it much smaller. So when you in the midst of a high energy workout and dripping; instead of having large buttons to tap the music where you need it you now need to come to a complete stop and pay complete attention to the app and get sweat all over your phone. The app crashes every single time you try to press back because the app skips tracks you put in your playlist. The new update does look “prettier” and is more stylish but looses all the functionality for where it is most commonly used and whom most commonly uses it. The app needs another update to address all the crashing and connect with Group Fitness Instructors to design a layout that assists them while teaching a class..Version: 3.1.5
✓ TerribleTerrible app waste of money.Version: 3.1.4
✓ Skips songsI have loved this app, but recently it started skipping songs which is inconvenient when teaching a group fitness class and having to stop and restart the correct song..Version: 3.1.5
✓ App crashes w new updateI’ve had this app about a month now, it worked perfectly fine, great tool to skip songs and lock up the bpm. Perfect!! The new update on the app ( 3 days ago) is making my phone slow, the app stops playing the song and eventually kicks me out. To where i have to open the app up again and start the playlist all over again from the 1st song. Its very inconvenient specially when we are in the middle of a cardio song and need to keep that heart beating fast. I hope this app gets that fix soon, the new look is good as you can actually see the artist cover for the song you’re playing. Other than that, the new update isn’t working for me. I have an iPhone 6 with the latest update.Version: 3.1.5
✓ DecentDecent basic tempo changer... adding songs should be easier..Version: 3.1.3
✓ Dont waste your $Crap- won't selects songs from playlist- says it can only add 50/time and then only plays 2 songs before crashing. The bpm gauge only worked once. Wish I could get a refund..Version: 2.0
✓ Can’t syncThe app can’t sync with your iTunes library if you’re using Apple Music..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Slow skipping tracksHate to be the first (negative) review, but it's pretty slow and poor. Skipping between tracks sometimes hangs for 30 seconds or so. Love the idea and hope it's going to be developed further. For 3 quid, its not so bad..Version: 0
