Hi thanks for the welcome's, Ill call it 'BPM Live'. Its quite simple but it works! Right now it just calculates a bpm from the last 2 taps, so its best to tap it a few times with the beat until you get the same reslt twice(or there abouts) just to ensure that you are giving it an accurate tap interval.

OK I just published to android play store, might take 30 minutes to go live..search for "bpm live".

As it stands the app looks a bit bleak, I didnt really focus on cosmetic design so if anyone has an idea for a color scheme etc post it here. Also right now when you are creating a live playlist, if you want to remove a song from the list you create then click the top button "clear", I will make it so you can remove songs individually tomorrow, sry bout this I fell asleep last night when i got to this part :D

step 1: tap the fingerprint to the time of some music, the bpm will show in the box.
step 2: enter a name for the song
step 3: click the "s" button to save that song and its bpm

Then click "Go live"...your songs will load....click on a the songs you want to jam to, in the oder you wish to jam them, once you have created a playlist click "start live" at the top
Then pass the phone to your drummer, whenever he wants to get a BPM he just clicks the song and it will flash to the speed of that song


Any other suggestions/improvements welcome etc etc. (a 72x72 app icon alpha allowed would be nice)

Just downloaded and it works really well! Could we have an audio click/bleep as well which can be muted? I'll try and do a quick icon but design is not my forte!

EDIT: Here you go, it's crap, probably no better than nothing to be honest [url="http://creepjoint.co.uk/livebpm.jpg"]http://creepjoint.co.uk/livebpm.jpg[/url]

Release it on Windows Phone Devices Too! Im a C# Developer, sounds relatively simple to do.

Good (and impressively quick) work.

A slightly longer flash duration might help - some of them are quite short on my Galaxy Ace. It also might be an idea to be able to choose the flash colour - if the stage is washed in red light you might have difficulties seeing it. Another idea would to be able to overwrite a saved beat - just in case you got it wrong the first time.

I too have downloaded and had a play with this on my S2.

Nice little app, well done.

I did find the flash so brief I struggled to see it.

I will use it at the next rehearsal and let you know how it goes used in a real life situation :)

Good work.

thanks for testing it. I will make the flash length a little longer tomorrow.

a choice of duration would be good, so you could set 10 seconds, or 2 minutes or infinite etc.

ok, will add this today, do you also have a bigger copy of ur icon? 512x512 would be cool i can then use it as the featured image in the appstore instead of my squiggle heh.

i reverted back to the previous version, it will work for now however if the flashes are a bit short for you then dont worry i will manage to get that version back up tomorrow.

I have been having a play today and the flash length is not such a problem.

I have tried it in dim light (stage setting) and it is fine.

Thanks, it is a cool app :)
