haptik: Watch Haptic Metronome

Setting the bpm was exceedingly frustrating. Need a keypad way, not just a virtual slider.

I got this app to keep the bear whilst playing piano, I was disappointed to see that I could only use it for 2 weeks then I had to pay for it. It is not worth the money because I couldn’t adjust the time signature or put a different vibration on the first beat.

First of all, let me say that to me this is an Apple Watch app, not an iPhone app, and the 4 stars rating reflects that. As a Watch app, it does what it says: it is the only app that keeps giving the beat even when the watch face goes off. You need to allow microphone access for it to work. You can modify the tempo on the watch even if you don’t pay for the full version. As for the haptic feedback, it is not the strongest but it works up to about 200 BPM on the watch. Higher then that it will skip some beats. Now for the iPhone app, there is no way to justify the price tag for the full version. There are way better metronome apps that you can get for that kind of money. In order to justify the upgrade price, the app should at least have settings for time signatures, number of beats per measure, and a different first beat. This different first beat is important as this is where a musician is most likely to resynchronize with the tempo. Hopefully the developer will improve this app by adding those features. Bonus points if these features are also added to the watch app.

Great apps, would been my main to go heptic metronome app if a playlist option was there.

Great app for keeping BPM. Work great on the watch. I would mainly use it to keep a cadence while working out. Would get a 5 stars if I could use the metronome while playing music in the background. Haptic feedback to keep the cadence up, my music to motivate.

As soon as I start strumming the metronome stops…

Don’t listen to the other reviews. This thing works. Yes, the screen goes off just like EVERY app but the buzz keeps going. Worth it.

Here to counter the negative reviews...! They probably updated the app in the meantime because for me, it is working flawlessly!! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot! Of note, you have to pay for the full version (6.99$) to be able to set it to other bpm than 60.

Watch face has to be on, and as a result the app only works for 15 seconds tops. I paid for this and I can’t believe it.

I don’t normally write reviews unless I’m blown away or really disappointed, and unfortunately the latter is the case here. I have the gen 1 Apple Watch, and thinking of products like soundbrenner, this seemed like a great concept. Complaints: -Too much on the visuals, interface is laggy as a result -NO free version. Must accept 7-day trial in order to change BPM -Tap N’ Drag to change BPM only works on phone -DOES NOT WORK UNLESS WATCH FACE IS ON That last one makes this unusable. My hope was to be able to play and feel the haptic metronome, but as soon as the wrist is in position to play, the haptic stops. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!
