Perfect Tempo

Was delighted to find this super simple option for matching songs I love to my ideal running cadence. I am happy at 162 bpm but several of my favorite running songs are 158 bpm. After a few days playing with different software including GarageBand, I stumbled across this app! You do have to do a little math but it seems that 2% increase from my playlist is perfect. The interface is simple and familiar, and lets me access my playlist, any of my purchased albums, and Apple Music. It lists everything by song title but you can filter a little. So I set like 9 songs on a playlist, with a mix of original tempo and +2% tempo. The songs keep the choice I made, and there’s a toggle button to “repeat” or “off” or “repeat section”, but even when it’s off it still just plays the same song again. If it would go forward to the next song on the playlist, I’d like it better. As it is, I’ll have to mess around with my phone to manually choose the next song. Luckily they’re each pretty long!

I absolutely love the ability to manipulate the tempo of streaming music. As a transcribing musician, it’s an invaluable tool. It would be infinitely better if the fast forward and rewind could be done to the second more easily. Sometimes when you’re trying to hear a single 16th note you don’t want to have to scroll back an entire 5 -10 seconds. Perhaps the ability to change to a sideways/landscape orientation of the app would allow for a wider scroll bar and make it possible to forward/rewind more precisely. If that were to be fixed, this app would be a 5 star A+ 100% perfect app all day long. I’m a college professor and have recommended this to several students as a transcribing tool. This is a complaint that I’ve also heard from several of them, as well. Please fix it in a future update.

This app does just what I need it to EXCEPT that it cannot move to the next song on the playlist. I use the app to change the speed of the songs in the fitness class I teach and while I LOVE that it can change the tempo of Apple Music songs, it’s very frustrating to have to change to the next track manually each time. If that feature could be added this would be a five star app!

The app definitely looks nicer than Tempo Magic on an iPad, but it appears to lack a couple of features that I use of tempo magic. I would like to know what the app determines the bpm to be and then prefer to set the app to a particular bpm rather than have to guess what the %change should be. I would also like the ability to export an adjusted file to files so that I can play it on apps that do a better job with playlists. I mostly adjust tempos to match ice dance skating patterns.

I am a ballet teacher and have been waiting for a music play solution with speed control that I can run from my iWatch. This app is the closest I have found! The only issue is not being able to jump to another song in the playlist from my watch. I have to do that from my phone. Please please please consider adding this feature!
