This little widget will measure the tempo of a song or anything you tap into it. Tempo measures beats in music per minute, so you can play a song and tap right onto Tempo. It can tell you the measurement and if it is correct by displaying green for correct measurements and red for incorrect or inaccurate measurements. Once you find an accurate measurement with a song, you can double click on the numbers to set the tempo in iTunes. How is this helpful? If you write music and plan to write a song in a particular tempo like another song you’ve heard, you can find out the exact measurement. This can also be handy for students just starting out with music theory.
