Ratings and reviews

The app might be good but I never found out. It requires a credit card to even enter a 14 day trial. After that it's a paid service? 7.99 each month? No deal. I would have paid a one time fee, but continuously milking the customer is a no go... ... Turns out you can close the paying screen and continue free... Will update the review later... First impression is unfortunately tainted...

Nice interface and functionality. However, 1. There is an unnecessary and unjustifiable delay between pressing play and the metronome actually starting. Unjustifiable because in most use cases in music, you expect your 1 count to sync with the metronone's when you start it. Sometimes you need to start the metronome in the middle of a song and that fails to sync. 2. The app refused to quit. Was showing in my notifications still no matter what. Had to go to my settings to force it to stop.

Unnecessarily GPS and a online Account is needed to connect to the watch for remote control and notifications. The app states that GPS is needed to improve bluetooth. It's really concerning that the app also states that the user (location) data will never be "collected, analyzed or uploaded" while there's nothing to be found about improving bluetooth with GPS on the internet but only vice-versa. Unfortunately the GPS usage of this app kills the battery really fast and I overslept.
