I got to say, I like the older version of the app better. The Tempo readout font is much larger on the old app and all hits (including early and late hits) cause a flash to show up somewhere on the circle. The new version of the app only triggers the flash when you hit the tempo exactly. If you are early or late, the needle moves, but no obvious indication that the sensor felt the hit. This caused me frustrations a couple times thinking the sensor wasn’t picking up my hits because I was playing too lightly. As others requested.... could you add an option to view the “Circle Display”?

Dude, I love this sensor and app. It prevents a lot of grief and arguments, and made the band trust me (if reluctantly since they are proven to fight tempo). But this new update??? I much prefer the old circle-with-revolving-dot screen over the new “odometer” screen. Could the old one be added back in as an option to choose for your main interface? Please? Also, the menu screen on the left doesn’t fully come into view when I open it up. Minor bug, though.

The speedometer is interesting, but please give us the option to choose the speedometer or the circle!

The drum pickup is easy to install and the new app is great. Changing saved song order is very helpful.

Superb design, durable and simple to use. Every drummer ‘should’ have this set up with their rig. It does not interfere with your existing triggers, rhythm samplers/tracks, etc…It stands alone as a ‘speedometer’ of sorts. Just a great way to check where you sit on the beat from time to time. I have seen other devices similar to this; but I must say, the quality here is far better and the price simply can’t be beat (pun intended). I actually didn’t even hook it up to the snare. I placed it on the Hi-hat cause thats where I keep my time. I don’t need to worry about all the inflections/fills/ghost notes on my snare…the hi-hat is steady. Though, if you choose, there is a toggle on the application to adjust the sensitivity for filtering out ghost notes on the snare and only track solid down beats. Well done!
