Version 2.0.1

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Fixes a crash on iOS 9. This was due to changes to the behaviour when AAC audio files were decoded. As a quick fix I have switched to uncompressed mono audio files.
Hopefully stereo samples will be back in the next version!

This app is very helpful for people who cannot just visualize a rhythm. Only feed back is maybe to add an option where you can change the direction of the arrows.
