Great app... but...
Im a music teacher of 35 years and still have my original Dr Beat from the 1970s. Always loved it, but now that I have an iPhone, why not run it as an app? So I got this and its GREAT! Some others said it doesnt stay steady, but Ive used it now for a week in and out of lessons and there is really no problem with the beat on my iPhone4. Rock solid steady. Great job there. And the feature set is even better than my original Dr Beat. Great job again!
There are two problems that need addressing, and when they are done, Ill move my rating up one point for each. First, you need to jack up the volume. I have one other metronome app Ive used in the past (not as many features as yours) that is very easy to hear, especially with the new iPhone4 speaker volume level. Ive used yours in lessons now, but found I needed to plug my phone into an amp to get it usable with a wind instrument (I teach clarinet and sax). I dont see any reason why we cant set this up for a bit more volume. Second, sometimes when you initially launch the app, it resets to all sounds on full. Kind of chaotic. It would be great it if better remembers the last setting and picked up from there more reliably.
If you can adjust those two things, Id definitely move my rating up to 5 stars and say it fully justifies the price premium for a great Dr Beat replacement.
