Gap Click by Benny Greb

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.

Clever, simple, innovative metronome! It’s already helping a lot with my macro- and micro-time. Requests: 1. Haptic feedback on the scroll wheel, so you can feel the response and can tell if you missed the wheel. 2. The play / pause button in the middle needs a larger hit area. I’ve missed it several times. 3. I wish there was a bit more versatility. Namely being able to do some off-beat clicks followed by gap measures. I’d like to do things like - lead in Then a pattern of - 2 measures of off-beat - 2 measures of gap Or even a pattern of: - measures of regular clicks - measures of off-beat clicks - measures of gap 4. I wish I had a bar of lead-in. I find myself trying to the “play” the play button with the first note of the pattern, which is awkward. 5. The pitch of the off-beat pulses is identical to that of the “main” measures. This makes it hard to know where we are and get back on track. I wish I could give the off-beats a different pitch, so I could “hear” the blue versus the green modes.

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.

I love this app. This is something that I’ve been looking for for a long time. The design is super simple, and makes the app very easy to figure out. I love the changing color display as well. My only complaint is the lack of features. I hope in the future that more time signatures can be implemented, as well as more subdivisions in the “content” section. This would make the app all the more useful. It would be nice if you could add more than 8 bars as well. However, despite these downsides, the app is incredible, and such a great tool for any musician.

This app would be wonderful if you could leave the app or lock your phone, and the metronome kept playing in the background. Sometimes I need to reference a photo of sheet music, save battery by locking my phone, or use the camera on my phone to record myself, and I’d love for the metronome to keep running when I do those things. Hoping this is an easy fix that gets added soon!

This is a great app! By far Benny is one of the most influential drummers from the last decade. I do like the GAP concept and how it helps to improve timing and consistency. I just wonder if they can add a timer in the settings menu. As a musicians is crucial to work on a variety of things. And being able to keep on track how much time we focus on one specific thing, helps to improve time practicing.

I really like the design of the app. It gives you everything you need in a metronome and then some. The customization of the sound is really nice, as well as the ability to add in silent bars. The only big issue is that you have to have the phone on in order to hear the metronome. It would be great if you could close your phone and still have the app running. Regardless, I’d recommend this app to anyone looking for a metronome application.
