Gap Click by Benny Greb

Works like a dream. No confusing options. Good sounds. Leaving the ‘Gaps’ is so useful to work on your inner clock. Also totally cool as a regular metronome of course. Thanks a bunch!

Simple idea executed well - does help with practice! I wish there for more options to change the content to e.g different 16th note permutations, as well as add more click ‘sections’ other than click and gap (and/or even randomising them). I have an issue that whenever I play via Bluetooth, or over speaker after having played over Bluetooth before, the sound changes to a low sine wave, which I can only fix by switching back and forth between sounds in the settings.

Problem solved in latest update, clear explanation of the developer below.

Deze app doet precies wat ik nodig heb. Klasse ❤️🥁🥁🥁🎶🎶🙏🏻

I heard about this app from Reddit after I searched for "best metronome for guitar". The gap is so good for training myself to maintain a tempo! The interface is very intuitive except for the tap circle, but I just learned what that does from reading a review on my way to write this one. I went and tried it really quick, and it's perfect! So useful! I've only used the default sound because I find it pleasant, so no need to mess with it. By contrast, I checked out some youtube BPM videos yesterday, and the sound effect was so awful, I just couldn't. I love that it keeps playing even if the app is put in the background, and it even plays while the Voice Memo app is recording! (The metronome will be on the recording though.) The only thing I don't see that I would like to have is the ability to store tempos (so I can quickly grab the tempo I was last using for each of the different songs I’m practicing).

The fact that this gives you nearly all the functionality of the $100+ metronomes of yesteryear in a snappy little app? Brilliant. Easily makes it way into my rotation of practice aids!

I don’t even really leave reviews like that, but this has everything I would need in a metronome. You can even tap a rhythm. I’m happy I found this so early into studying guitar.

I haven’t used Gap Click all day, but it’s consumed 23% of my phone’s battery. Hopefully it’s not doing anything nefarious.

While this may not have the bells and whistles of a really nice metronome, this thing is still an amazing tool. I saw instant improvement in my soloing and fills and just timekeeping in genera…. after a few practice sessions. it has proven itself to be an Absolutely essential practice tool going forward

I enjoy the app, but I feel that it has a lot of holes. If I have the metronome, in 4/4 time, play a measure of quarter notes, then leave 3 measures of rest it ends up dropping some beats in the measure that the click plays; it might play … 2 3 4 or 1 2 3 … adding a beat of silence when there should be a click. When it comes to options I feel like it should a greater range for tempo, it should go up to 400, it’s not necessary since no one needs quarters going and 400, half notes would be better, but it would be expected for the app to have a large range of tempos instead having to use, for example, 200bpm to imply half notes at 400bpm. Also when using a speaker it sometimes just plays a low drone, making restart the app until it functions properly.
