Installation: if you get prompted to allow a security timer reset Keep screen on while active option, edit TempoBeats permissions for Security Timer Reset to allow or deny not prompt. TempoBeat does not need trusted application status.

Timing accuracy: there is a sound playback bug affecting some phones reportedly fixed in OS 7 that causes garbage collection pauses. While TempoBeat tries to keep accurate time using the hardware clock, it cannot play sound when garbage collection is happening. This results in an occasional skipped beat for some of you. If this bothers you, you can improve accuracy by turning off sound and relying on the visual beats screen or LED. Other apps running in the background may also interfere with beat accuracy.

To beta testers: the beta program is over, and TempoBeat is now a paid app. Version 1.0 is substantially the same as the beta version. App World wont let you upgrade to the paid version, but you are welcome to continue using the beta version that you have already installed. I have taken note of your feedback and will work to enhance TempoBeat in the future. Thank you for participating in the beta program.
