Ratings and reviews

I am having some vision issues in my old age and feel that slightly larger numbers and fonts on the main screen would make the controls more visible. Other than this, this is a pretty fine metronome. The presets for pipers are hugely helpful when learning a new tune from scratch, and are great for finding and solving issues in your rhythm control along the way.
