GrooveClix 4+

I was having an issue with tempo change, but what happened, I accidentally clicked on tempo lab, here’s the awesome response!

HI T-Bone Looks like you have accidentally engaged the Tempo Lab! In the lower left corner of the main interface there's a bar with four icons on it. The first one (from the left) selects the audio output you want to use. The second one turns the Groove Engine on and off, and the third one turns on the Tempo Lab, the parameters of which are adjusted by the fourth and final button. If you switch off the Tempo Lab by tapping the third button, then you can manually adjust the Tempo as you like. Tempo Lab is for practicing over a gradually increasing or decreasing tempo. It's a great feature, and if you accidentally turned it on without looking at the tutorial video first, it's easy to understand how you might think that there's a bug. It's not a bug, it's a feature!"

As a musician and also a developer, I can certainly appreciate the efforts that have gone into making this app. Good job! I’ve encountered a few issues: - Count Off doesn’t work correctly when you’re not in 4/4 - get a tutorial screen every load ie I’m forced to watch a tutorial Suggestions: - use a sans serif font. Use a consistent font and design throughout the app (eg Settings looks like it belongs in a different app and clearly was an afterthought when making the app) - consider a perpetual license in addition to the subscriptions, even if it’s just a basic version. Some users will get more value from a perpetual license because a subscription license is not useful in many cases.

Edit: thanks for the reply. The issue I have with countoff is that it does not honour the set time signature. It always counts off the same number of beats which inevitably means the count off is not synced with the click track when it starts. I encourage you to test this yourself.
Also as a side note I have removed the app as the size is unnecessarily large, nearly 2gb which I think can be optimized a lot (it’s a click track in the background, I don’t think it needs to be cinema quality…)

Thanks for your feedback. Not sure what you mean by count off not working. It counts off the number of beats indicated by the time signature. however, if the ckick volume (the source of the countoff) is down, you wont hear thw count! the groove is only heard after the countoff clicks are played.
There are so many features in rhe app that we felt that it was important to show a tutorial. Once you have viewed it in its entirety it you wont be asked to see it again.
Our interface is always improving with every release, and your design comments are noted.
A perpetual license was considered, but we felt that there would be a lot of negative commentary about the price. if enough people
write in and say that they would rather pay a larger lump
sum up front, we would certainly take notice.

I’ve been practicing with this app, and as a metronome, it’s great. But the settings with subdivisions make it way more musical to practice with than a traditional metronome.
Also, check out the tonal stuff for practice. Playing with the odd time tonal grooves is my favorite feature.
I just went for the subscription plan, and am just starting to discover the depth of this app. I’ll update my review after I get a chance to try out all the new features.

Thanks for the great review! So glad that you’re discovering all that GrooveClix can do for you as a musician!
