I like this app a lot, is very helpful for people working with music on their cellphones. I just think it could be better, from the visual aesthetics to the functionality... it needs some improvement to be perfect! Regardless of my opinion I recommended!!!

I’ve been using this app almost daily for about a decade now, and it has made my personal and professional life so much easier. There are other music apps that let you slow down songs, but this one has been the only truly reliable one that I’ve used. Having the ability to import songs from almost any source, slow them down, transpose them, mark and repeat parts or sections, export those sections or entire songs in new formats, etc. is exactly what I look for in an app. By far and away, the best feature is the ability to import audio directly from YT and save the files for later use. Of course, this feature can sometimes be at the whim of YT’s system, but the Beat Time! developer is always incredibly quick to update things to keep everything running smoothly. Thank you for such an amazing app! I hope to be using it forever!

Don’t know why you decided to ruin the app but now it’s so bad that I’m uninstalling it.

Update: Looks like the developer is doubling down on making the app worse. I guess it was just was too simple and worked too well for too long. Oh no, we can’t have that. Let’s destroy everything what worked and replace it with barely functional tackiness. Complete with a random burgundy stage curtain framing the main menu for some reason.The whole user interface is different (for the worse). It has all these tacky buttons around and some of them don’t work. Like the one that’s supposed to open files. It just stalls. I couldn’t even share an audio file to open it in the app. Nothing works and the app looks like a pop-up ad that you have to close before you can start a new game in a free chess app. Uninstalled until the real app comes back.

I can’t figure this app out and there are no instructions

The app claims to be able to access videos and then slow them down. But when it asks to access my camera roll, all it shows is a list of black boxes all with the same name: video 1. When I try to play them it tells me it cannot play .mov files. These are videos I took on an iPhone and were synced to my iPad. They are recorded on whatever format the iPhone uses. Perhaps that is the problem, it may not work with iPhones.When I go to the video and try to open it in beat time, the list of available options does not include beat time, so that avenue is out. Audio files seem to show up, but I already have apps that can do those, and I was told this worked with videos. Is there any sort of instruction book for this app?Is it because they were recorded on an iPhone instead of an iPad?
