How accurate is this?
The more consistent beats you tap, the more accurate the reading — a handful of taps can be rough, but 8+ steady taps gives a reliable BPM.
Why do I need to know a song's BPM?
It's essential for syncing loops and samples, beatmatching for DJing, and choosing backing tracks or click tracks that fit your song.
Does this work on my phone?
