This little app does what my expensive audio and video editing software does not: It accurately detects beats per minute. For a (non-musician) video editor who has struggled with timing clips to music for years, Tempi is a miracle. I’m now freed from the endless cycle of tapping out the beat, timing the clip, getting it wrong, tapping, re-timing the clip… Thank you! Show more

This app is amazing, get tons of compliments while using it in live situations!

It doesn’t work. Placed phone right next to drum kit playing snare only and it wasn’t anywhere in the ballpark. Was playing 90 bpm and it registered as 118. Slowed playing down to 65 and it registered as 127. Sped up and it was up and down from 72 to 110. Played a song from YouTube and it was all over the place on a simple steady beat. Not sure if something changed recently or if it’s related to phone hardware or OS version. I’m on a 13 Pro using iOS 15.5. Plenty of good reviews on here so I’m just surprised it works so poorly. Waste of $6 ? Show more

I am a pro drummer and have used this app in performance quite a bit. It is a great safety net and really helps to me to feel solid in a very natural way. My time feels much more consistent and confident after when I remove it from the equation as well! I have a few minor suggestions, but bravo on what has become one of my most efficient tools! I only have a couple minor suggestions. I love that it records, but it would be great to have the option to not record. Recording drains the battery very quickly, thus making it unusable for longer recordings if you cannot plug in your device. Also, it would be amazing to be able to minimize the app while being able to use another app simultaneously. ie. sheet music app, fourscore, etc. I recommend it to my students and colleagues. People are always amazed and wonder why they have never heard of it! As is, it is still incredible and I will continue to utilize and recommend it to anyone that may benefit. Thank you for the wonderful tool! Show more

thanx

I wish there is a trial for this app. I just downloaded it to track my drumming, but it only detects beat rate up to 240, which makes it useless for me. I wish I could get a refund... Show more

Only used this once so far, but plan to keep it as part of my gig setup. Today was an acoustic gig with me on cajon. Tempi did a great job of reading our live tempo. We tend to rush a bit we get louder so it was good to see that feedback so I could work on keeping the band on pace. Don’t try to over correct too quickly, that will just sound bad. Love the app. Sound quality wasn’t great but it was right by me and not my top need. Also would love to have access to the tempo chart you see live when save a song/performance. Show more

About time someone thought of this! Lets your band play at your speed but also lets you work on not speeding up during your songs. And not burdened with a bunch of the silly “features” that app designers always seem to feel the need to include to obscure what was originally a good idea. Nice work! Keep it simple! The next step in the evolution of the metronome is finally here. Show more

The manual tapping feature is terrible. I mean it does get you close I guess. But I can do that by listening. I want the app to tell me exact. Also the listening feature doesn’t know what sounds it’s listening too and the tempo can change from 110 to 87 just because they hit a drum twice or sing more syllables in a measure. I’ll find something else. Show more

Should have a feature where u can add a sample and it can tell u the bpm

Great little app. As a drummer, I start recording starting a song and watch the tempo as the band works through it. Very responsive and applicable.

If there was an option for routing the apps bpm info into a wireless mixer app (like the xr18) so the reverb and delay plugins could sync up that would be an awesome feature for live gigs Linear graph showing tempo fluctuations throughout the song is an awesome visual tool. ? thank you Show more

Doesn’t work that well. I would never pay to use this app.

Super accurate and easy to use! Was skeptical but after testing the app it is spot-on. Could not be happier!

I use this live every night to make sure my tempos are right to match up with any sequenced phrases that I use during the night. Also, if anyone in the band says “you’re playing too fast” or “too slow” I can check to make sure my tempo is the same as it was the night before and the night before that. If this were a standalone piece of hardware, with a count off feature, every drummer would buy it. Show more

Very nice product. I play guitar without a drummer (fingerpick and strum mostly) and it seems to be pretty accurate. As I tend to speed up during a performance, I suggest adding a visual bar across the screen that changes color if I slow down or speed up outside of a predetermined BPM. For example, if it is red I need to speed up, if green I am within an acceptable range of BPM, and if blue I need to slow down. That would be much easier and quicker to interpret if using at practice or on stage. I did suggest this as an improvement through the app's "Contact Us" link. If you like the idea, please let them know. Show more

This is a great concept, and it works most of the time. I will say that once you get into more advanced rhythms, this will not be accurate. I teach a drumline, and there are definitely limits to what this app can do; however, it comes in very handy for helping newer members get eighth and sixteenth note patterns in time when practicing on their own.

It’s recording the tempo all over the place. I tested it against a professional recording “ Gerald Albright Live: Round Midnight “ on YouTube. I tested on a professional recording because using during church band practice I got such varying tempo that were very extreme. I got a readings from 62, 61, 86, 82 ,110,76 so something is terribly wrong. Please help me understand the problem please or I need to delete it and quit getting on the guys in the band. Wonderful idea wish it would work. Show more

This app really has helped me with my rythem and it continues to have cool features that keep the app working! I only wish it had a built in metronome Show more

Its lame it doesn’t record longer than 30 seconds.
