Tempo Counter is an intuitive app that lets you measure musical tempo (BPM) by tapping along to the beat.

“I want to know the BPM of the song that’s playing now.”
“I want to quickly share the BPM during a performance.”
“I want to decide a BPM by feel while composing or arranging.”

In situations like these, this app allows you to check the tempo instantly and intuitively.

After tapping the [start] button, tap the [music note] button on each beat. The [average bpm] field shows the average tempo calculated from your taps, while the [latest bpm] field displays the tempo of the most recent beat. Tempo markings corresponding to the average BPM will light up on the scale.
