LiveBPM - Beat Detector for Negative User Reviews

✓ Don’t botherApp does not appear to work on newer phones. Music cuts out when app is opened. Won’t measure beats. Am using an iPhone 14 on iOS 16 Appears to be a waste of money.ThisIsHeddyVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Sort of worksWon't read below 60bpm!.GffdghnVersion: 1.2.0

✓ This App no longer works with latest IOSIt looks like this app may not been updated for years and although it’s a great app and I use it weekly in my job. It crashes with the latest update and won’t run..Doug McKeanVersion: 1.2.1

✓ AnnoyingAnnoying app to use, only landscape orientation which is painful especially if you’re not used to it. Only counts to 160 anything above it’ll give you half speed so you need to do maths. I’d expect it to be smarter for the price..Focha23Version: 1.2.1

✓ Doesn’t work with odd time signatures.I’m a professional musician specializing in traditional folk music from many countries. I downloaded this AP just now and tested it playing my hurdy gurdy. I’m afraid it doesn’t work at all with 3/8 — even with a loud, steady pulse from the dog (the buzzing bridge on the gurdy), though it had no problems with tunes in 2/4 and 4/4. I then played samples of recorded music — Irish, Old Time, etc. It can barely handle 6/8 if there is a loud guitar in the mix, not on solo fiddle or pipes; and it gets totally confused with recordings of Hungarian, Balkan music, etc. Too bad, I had high hopes..`25Version: 1.2.1

✓ Does not work 🤦🏼‍♀️Does not work properly.OcddetailVersion: 1.2.1

✓ App has stopped workingI tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and it still doesn’t work..MMarroquin1024Version: 1.2.1

✓ Can not open appPlease help with my app it will not open!.Face1176Version: 1.2.1

✓ Decent, not very fast thoughThis seems like a decent tool for recording speed at lower tempos. However it only seems to effectively measure tempo ranges below roughly 200 bpm. I personally bought this to measure drum roll speed, but sub 200 bpm is way to slow to for any reasonable roll. So for what it can do it’s a fine app, just don’t expect to measure a 800 bpm roll on this with any real accuracy..FearlessPandasVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Result very wrongIf I play tunes on my iPhone which have a bpm included as part of the title the app result is often many times wrong..1£59dkbxzVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Great idea needs improvementApp doesn’t exit cleanly. Seems to Lock Screen. When playing iTunes tracks I don’t know if it’s working because live bpm seems to mute speaker? Either that or Apple Music App stops when live bpm is open. So it has limited functionality imo.FramerukVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Not worth the moneySlow to register beats measurement. Consistently off the actual bpm being played. Not sure why this app costs a much as it does..FirsttinenuserVersion: 1.2.1

✓ But you can never leave …..A friend brought his to a session, and I found it useful and download my own copy. It works when I run it. But the app switcher on my iPhone 12 Pro (iOS 16.2) doesn’t work within live BPM. It works with all my other applications. The only way I found to exit is to shut down my phone and reboot. Not good. I found no way other than Facebook to contact the creator Daniel Bach. Not so good for those of us that choose not to sell our soul to Meta. Updated: 4/5/23 App developer Daniel Bach offered this help: “the app is closed by swiping in the orthogonal direction, like all apps running in landscape mode”. This is the only app I have that runs only in landscape mode, and a Google search didn’t offer much insight. But with experimentation I found fix. A greyed out bar appears at the bottom of the landscape mode screen. One upward swipe turns the bar from grey to white, and a second upward swipe get you back to the Home Screen..Flywheel bassVersion: 1.2.1

✓ InconsistentDoesn’t consistently register a beat. Especially when streaming a song on the IOS device. Only works in landscape mode on the iPhone..Ierkcv,mjgjVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Landscape mode? Really?Forcing you app to run in landscape mode is a PIA. Yes, if you operate in landscape the controls are similar to portrait mode but it’s awkward and what in this app requires the width? Stumble over this whenever I use it..RejedejoVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Live BPMI wish it would work with IOS 14. It was the best app fir a drummer.HMB914Version: 1.2.1

✓ What happened?I’ve used this app for about 1 year. Love it. Out of the blue, it shows up as only a black screen. I reset my phone to factory settings. No go. Still a black screen. iPhone 7 current OS. Only writing here because cannot find a way to contact developer. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Might be a hardware problem. Frustrating nonetheless. Please advise..R2D5Version: 1.2.1

✓ I wish I could get a refund!I bought this app thinking it would be more useful, faster to respond, and able to save tempos. It’s super slow to pick up tempos, and the tempo range slider switch serves little purpose that I can see. Another 4 bucks gone!.PetesaguyVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Used to work better?I have used this app for a couple of years, and in general it works great. More and more frequently though, it gets stuck at 140 BPM, no matter what the actual beat of the song is. If I delete it and re-load it it’s fine, but it’s happening more & more frequently. :-(.NinamamalVersion: 1.2.1

✓ TrashThis app will not work on my iPhone. It will open and not respond to anything and then you can’t close the app without rebooting your phone. I feel like I was scammed out of the few dollars that this app cost me. Don’t buy this app! It doesn’t work..EvansGaListenerVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Great idea, but a couple major flawsFirstly, praise is due for how well it tracks the beat. Nicely done. The issues are how it forces to a reversed landscape and there's no option to switch it. It really shouldn't require landscape at all and, at the very least, it should be able to flip counter clockwise for that forced landscape view, instead of clockwise. I've encountered no other apps that only work that way. All others follow phone orientation. The other issue is related - closing the app requires swiping from the direction of the forced landscape view..PCiTunesGuyVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Not sureWas hoping I could play something on itunes and have it listen to the BPM. Unfortunately app cuts out the I-tunes sound..Allegro_1964Version: 1.2.0

✓ Can’t figure it outI bought this app so I could find the BPM while listening and looking for music in my indoor cycle classes. I can’t figure out how to use it. Nothing ever shows and I have to keep doing a hard reset on my iPhone 11 to get out of the app..AmisbrooksVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Didn’t workOk for one thing I am almost certain that the readings were way way way way way off. Two it was so slow that it was always changing and I couldn’t hardly read it. Plse fix!!.308 RugerVersion: 1.2.1

✓ I just downloaded this and it was working and now it does not hear the music and stop workingHow do I get it to work.Edbb2Version: 1.2.1

✓ Good idea but needs further developmentAs a musician who does a lot of transcribing, this tool saves so much time and has many practical applications. However, the app is missing some features that, in my opinion, are necessary. It measures BPM and plots it on a graph, but there is no way to export or save the results for later analysis. Lastly, the UI really needs some simple improvements, such as buttons.Bloodlust!Version: 1.2.1

✓ Doesn’t work for fast speed on pianoWith fast piano speed, it doesn’t work at all.McBietwVersion: 1.2.1
