New: Precise, a second BPM reading from the last 15 seconds, on iPhones fast enough to run it. Tap Precise or swipe the number. Pro: History keeps each song's precise BPM and tempo curve. MagicBPM now fits iPhone Duo closed or open, and splits Live BPM and the metronome at the fold when it is half open. The metronome now goes from 1 to 900 BPM, Siri and Shortcuts can start and stop it, and MagicBPM speaks Ukrainian. Fixes for Identify song and the largest text sizes.

Fewer ads right after you reopen the app.

Tap tempo now lives on the Live BPM screen. Tap the card under the number to set a tempo without the mic, or tap along while listening to pick half or double speed. Swipe left to start over. Half and Double stay picked until a new tempo locks, and each song in History keeps its own tempo. Pro: Detected Songs sync across your iPhone, iPad and Mac with iCloud. The metronome goes down to 30 BPM, and the downbeat accent turns off in Click sound. The Lock Screen card no longer shows up twice, and swiping it away stops the click.

Live BPM is more accurate, and holds a song's tempo through vocals and instrument changes. The number is outlined while it settles and fills in once it locks. New in Settings, under Live BPM: Show decimals. Turn it off for whole numbers. iPhone now rotates. On its side, and on iPad in landscape, Live BPM spreads into two columns. Open in Metronome is now the round button beside Start Listening. Tap tempo is steadier, locks sooner, and gets shuffles and 6/8 right. MagicBPM now speaks French, Italian and Korean. Fewer full-screen ads, and no longer one every time you switch to your music app and back.

Live BPM can now vibrate on the beat. Once the reading locks, your iPhone taps along with the music. Turn on Vibrate on beat in Settings, under Live BPM.

Under-the-hood improvements.

Under-the-hood improvements.

MagicBPM is on your wrist now, and the beat is a tap you feel instead of a click the room hears. • Apple Watch metronome: every beat is a tap from the Taptic Engine, so it works on a loud stage, in a quiet house at midnight, and under in-ear monitors where a click has nowhere to go. Tap the number in time or turn the Digital Crown to set the tempo, press Start, then drop your wrist: it keeps tapping after the screen goes dark. Two haptic strengths, and tapping one in Settings plays it, because no label can tell you how something feels. It comes with the iPhone app, free, with nothing extra to install and nothing extra to buy. It speaks all five languages too, following whatever your watch is set to. • Quick actions: press and hold the app icon on the Home Screen and go straight to the metronome or to live detection, instead of landing on the tab you left and tapping again. • Share usage data, a new switch in Settings under Privacy. It sends anonymous usage and crash reports so we can see which features get used and which devices have trouble hearing a beat. Never your audio, and never what you listen to. One tap turns it off. • Fixed: in light mode the metronome's tap and handoff flashes were invisible against the background, so tapping the pad acknowledged nothing. Have an idea or hit a snag?

The metronome keeps going when you put the phone down. And MagicBPM now speaks four more languages. • Background metronome: the click carries on when you leave the app or lock the screen. A Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island starts it, stops it, and nudges the tempo by 1 or 5 BPM without unlocking. • Redesigned metronome screen: a bigger tap pad, with Reset and Play/Stop as real buttons pinned at the bottom instead of a swipe hint printed inside the pad. Tapping out a tempo now works while the click is running. • Four more languages: German, Japanese, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, alongside English. Pick yours under Language in Settings, whatever language your iPhone is set to. • Open in: choose which music app a detected song opens in, from the new Open in row in Settings. • VoiceOver no longer announces "Session reset" when a tap session simply times out. Nothing had been reset. Have an idea or hit a snag? Email support@magicbpm.com. We read everything.

Sharper readings from speakers and car systems, and a metronome that stays put. • Better tempo detection over Bluetooth speakers, car audio and headsets. Those inputs hand the app audio at a lower sample rate, and an internal check was quietly discarding good detections because of it. It no longer does. • The metronome no longer goes quiet on you. Changing the time signature, or leaving it running for a long stretch, could stop the click without stopping the metronome. Fixed, with tests to keep it fixed. Have an idea or hit a snag?

The metronome grows up. • Subdivisions: practice against eighths, triplets, or sixteenths, with the in-between clicks pitched under the beat so you never lose the pulse. Free for everyone. • Compound time that counts properly: 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8 now group in threes instead of clicking flat quarter notes, and 7/8 lets you pick 2+2+3 or 3+2+2. The beat dots follow the grouping. • Twelve new click sounds in MagicBPM Pro: woodblock, claves, xylophone, cowbell, bass guitar, hi-hat, tambourine, shaker, triangle and more. Each one is modeled on how the real instrument rings, not stretched from a sample. • Hear before you buy: tap play beside any sound to audition it, locked or not, and swap sounds while the metronome is running. • Songs you identify are now saved on your iPhone from the very first one, free or Pro. Pro unlocks the list. Either way the history stays on your device and you can clear it whenever you want. • Plus a smoother beat indicator, and time signature and subdivision menus that stay usable at fast tempos.

Small maintenance update: behind the scenes fixes and tidying, with no changes to how the app works. Have an idea or hit a snag? Email support@magicbpm.com. We read everything.

MagicBPM can now name the song. • Song identification: tap Identify while you listen and Apple's music recognition shows the title, artist, and artwork next to the live BPM. Open any match in Apple Music. • MagicBPM Pro now includes live song detection (songs are identified automatically as they play) and a Detected Songs history with the BPM of every track, alongside ad-free. • Half and double tempo: flip the reading to half or double time with one tap under the BPM number, with a hint for which is likelier. • Vibrate on beat: the metronome can now tap out every tick as a haptic, with a firmer pulse on the accented downbeat. • Plus tempo-detection accuracy improvements and fixes.
