Pros and cons of Dr.Betotte Metronome app for iPhone and iPad

Dr.Betotte Metronome app good for

Best metronome app. Some function I have never seen elsewhere. Great to work!
Very nice metronome, but please add a feature that you can switch off the display to save battery life!
Update 3.1: Awesome! This version finally allows you to turn off the screen while continuing to listen to the metronom. Saves you a lot of your battery. Thanks a lot Seishu! I find this a bit expensive but since you now can use it with the screen turned off I think its the best metronome you can get for the iPhone atm. Original Review: Although I applaud the recent updates (v 2.0. & 3.0) and the great improvements that came with them my main hang-up still isnt fixed. What has been bothering me since the first version, is the fact, that the display cant be turned off, while the metronom is running. That means your battery will run dry quite fast. Please fix this! Cant be too hard: Similar Apps (Tempo 1, Tempo 2 e.g.) already implemented this functionality. And could you please make the Tempo Up/Down buttons more responsive? Sometimes not very responsive. And add the functionality to move up/down the Tempo in steps of 10 for faster Tempo changing. Positive - pendular-metronom (3.0) (this is extremely helpful and I use it to practice with sound turned off, try it and check your timing!) - Setlist-feature - Landscape-mode included (3.0) Suggestions - add possibility to turn of screen - Tempo up/down in Steps of 10 - increase the size of the responsible area for the tempo up/down buttons, to make them more responsive (only for the normal view, landscape is fine of course) Besides that: Keep up the great work.
Since the last update this has become my favorite metronome app. You can finely adjust the volume of any subdivision of the beat, there is a variable swingfactor for eighth notes and sixteenth notes and you can gradually increase or decrease the tempo (or both sequentially). Great Metronome!
I highly recommend this metronome. You can practice with increasing or decreasing automatic tempo, great for practicing techniques!
I like all the features in this metronome. The automatic tempo slope and timer are great for practice sessions. While confusing at first, there are great options for setting subdivisions. I do wish there was a different mode with a large visual or even vibrating pulses for perfomance. And the interface on the main page is full of frustratingly small touch buttons that be tough to activate. And the price is a little high. But overall really good.

Some bad moments

Im missing the old design thats not so dark. Also theres a bug in the quiet counting section, where its only possible to quiet count 8 Bars and nothing else. Also the navigation got really worse. Please cancel the update, it isnt gotten better!
Very disappointed no support poor instructions not worth $9.99!
I just had both ProTools and Dr. Bettote produce click tracks at 88 BPM. Dr. Bettote failed to stay on beat along side my ProTools rig. I may use Bettote for a rough BPM estimate, but nothing more.
Would be great to add the "film/post" click. Cant seem to find a metronome that has that sound.
Although this metronome has some really great features, it fails at its most basic level...it cant keep time. Ive compared it to both my Dr. Beat DB-90 and a stop watch and it slows down EVERY time (although sometimes it happens faster than others.) If keeping exact time isnt important to you its got some cool features, like swing time and can automatically increase the tempo. 2 stars for features 0 stars for tempo inaccuracy. The point of a metronome is to keep a steady beat. If it cant, IMVHO, its worthless.
There is only one reason to use a metronome. Keep time. This does not.
