Not great
Had the old version from the day it was created and never had a problem. Updated version changes bpm in the middle of premixed instructor music.

Doesn’t work consistently
I have use this app for several years in my group exercise classes. And most recently just to work out at home. And I cannot tell you how many times I go to the app and all my music is gone and I have to re-download everything. Right now I’m trying to add a song that I bought on iTunes twice and it won’t allow me to add it but I’ve used it in the app before. Tons of bugs don’t know if there’s any fixes along the way. Just don’t rely on it. It works great when it works!
2022-01-22
Lacks obvious features
Apparently there’s no way to make it repeat the same song. It seems to always go to the next song without a pause. Why lea be out such a common feature? Makes it unusable for me.
2021-07-11
Would love Apple Watch support!
Great app. Been using it for years. But it would be much more useful if there was support for the Apple Watch.
2021-06-23
New version is SLOW
Please fix the new update. I had the old version (1st one ever made) and managed to not update until today when it forced me to update . No it’s SO slow moving from one song to the other!! It’s frustrating!! I rather have the old version with no images!!! Please please go back to the old version. I need to have fast moving speed when changing songs to keep my class going. I may need to find a new app if this isn’t fixed…
2021-03-27
Tempo slows as tracks progress & cuts cuts randomly
I use this app for a while to teach cardio classes. It worked for a while and then all of a sudden one day the music just stops when it moves to the next track after about five seconds. I deleted the playlist, I force closed the app,I uninstalled and reinstalled the app — and nothing works. Don’t waste your time. Use power music now
2021-03-14
Ruined a Great App
I wonder if LoLo reads the recent reviews about this app. I emailed them a couple of months ago complaining about how unstable the app has become. They wrote back that they didn’t develop the app, they purchased it and nobody else is complaining. This app was very dear to my heart for many years but it’s ruined now.
The sad thing is that no competitors exit.
2021-01-06
Doesn't work with Apple Music
Bought this app as I thought it would work with songs from Apple Music but it doesn't. I plan to request a refund.
2020-10-11
Doesn’t work with iPhone 11
Loved this app with my old phone. Now it won’t play anything from iTunes.
2020-09-21
Very disappointed
This app says that it’ll let you save the tempo and as soon as you switch the song it completely changes your “locked” tempo. So disappointed because I wouldn’t have bought this app if I knew that.
2020-04-25
DO NOT BUY!!! ZERO STARS 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
I can’t play any of my songs!!! Literally just took my money!!!! DO NOT BUY!!!
2020-02-07
Use to love the app! Now it’s a pain!
I use to love this app, but now not so much! It’s not compatible with the new phones. I’ve been using this app for over 5 years, I’ve recently got a new phone. And all of my older music will not convert. Only the things that are bought now will work, which is a pain when you’re teaching and using the app. Would love it if you would update and fix.
2020-01-26
Where Did The Large Slider Go!!
How can we just install the old version with the large slider? Who needs a large album cover??? All the update did was ruin the GUI.
2019-12-30
Skips songs
I have loved this app, but recently it started skipping songs which is inconvenient when teaching a group fitness class and having to stop and restart the correct song.
2019-10-28
Annoying
I can’t keep them locked at what I want the songs to be at. They keep going to a different BPm on their own.
2019-10-22
Changes even though it’s locked
When I lock in the BPM/percentage change I want, it doesn’t save it. It won’t lock it in, it’s all over the place. Please fix!
2019-10-06
Needs to be fixed!!
This app used to work for me but now it’s skipping over every song, changing the speed, and will start a song over halfway through. This makes it so hard to get through the playlist for the fitness class I instruct. Please fix the bugs ASAP!!
2019-09-14
Speed % lock
I lock the speed percentage and then it changes. Every time I enter the app, everything resets too. This is no good considering this is the required app for my fitness class. Please fix the glitch
2019-09-10
Awesome
Love love love this app works well on my 10xMax
Thanks for creating this app.
2019-08-15
Useless for what I need it for
I bought this app so I could change the bpm of each song for my Playlist I use while I teach my fitness classes. It doesn't lock the bpm of the song. So whatever bpm I chose for one song, every song ends up at the same bpm. I thought each song could be locked in at a different bpm. I'd have to go between each song and change the bpm during my class which doesn't keep my class flowing quickly. Please update this app so I can use it! I had one on my android that worked Beautifully but since going to an iPhone I haven't found an app capable of this setting
2019-08-06
Been using this app for YEARS and now it’s doesn’t work correctly
This app was perfect....until the most recent update. My music will no longer lock at a percent. Instead, it changes every track, and I have to keep adjusting it throughout my classes. I hope they release a fix for this ASAP. I also contacted their support regarding this, but haven’t received a response.
2019-07-26
Used to be reliable
I have used this for over three years. Recently became inconsistent and unreliable. I have tried uninstalling and deleting and reinstalling but it doesn’t fix issues. Also I tried the yes music service in past but the tracks are not consistently formatted so I discontinued yes service and went back to purchasing music through iTunes. This app was allowing me to use my purchased pre-formatted fitness album s but now it only works sometimes
2019-07-26
Cannot play my tracks
It does not work with apple phones
Do not buy
I want my money back
2019-07-11
It was absolutely perfect until the update.
The update changed the scroll bar from vertical to horizontal; making it much smaller. So when you in the midst of a high energy workout and dripping; instead of having large buttons to tap the music where you need it you now need to come to a complete stop and pay complete attention to the app and get sweat all over your phone.
The app crashes every single time you try to press back because the app skips tracks you put in your playlist.
The new update does look “prettier” and is more stylish but looses all the functionality for where it is most commonly used and whom most commonly uses it. The app needs another update to address all the crashing and connect with Group Fitness Instructors to design a layout that assists them while teaching a class.
2019-06-27
App crashes w new update
I’ve had this app about a month now, it worked perfectly fine, great tool to skip songs and lock up the bpm. Perfect!!
The new update on the app ( 3 days ago) is making my phone slow, the app stops playing the song and eventually kicks me out. To where i have to open the app up again and start the playlist all over again from the 1st song. Its very inconvenient specially when we are in the middle of a cardio song and need to keep that heart beating fast. I hope this app gets that fix soon, the new look is good as you can actually see the artist cover for the song you’re playing. Other than that, the new update isn’t working for me. I have an iPhone 6 with the latest update
2019-06-12
App slow since they updated it
I have this app since 2013. Since they changed and updated the app/version it got slower. Everytime I skip a track or music it’s so slow. I rather use the old version. I can skip or listen to the previous music without a problem. It’s faster and very convenient to use when I teach my class.
Please fix the new version. I really like to use this app when I teach my class. But it got slower when I skip and play back music.
2019-06-09
What happened?
I have been using this app for years and have loved it. The latest update has removed the option to change either by bpm or percent. It is now only by percent and this cripples me now as I have been using both options for different classes. I don’t have the option to babysit my music as would be necessary. Congratulations on making something that was working so well, suddenly so useless.
2019-06-06
New update is horrible.
I wish there was a way to get the old version back. This new version does not lock the BPMs for an entire playlist like the previous versions. It resets for each track. Please bring the old version back or fix this one.
2019-06-06
Difficult now!
What happened? The text is too small. Adjusting the pitch is more difficult than the original version.
2019-06-04
New update
The text is too small!! I loved the old player, I can barely see my songs now....the app works great, I’ve been using it for years, the support is great too, quick response always....just enlarge the font on the new player, I can be using my reader glasses in class!! Lol, thanks
2019-06-02
New version is horrible
I have used this app for years. I agree with previous reviews that the updated version, within the last week, is horrible. You will adjust the pitch and when the next song comes on it will return to the original pitch, even though you still have it set to pitch up/down. So you have to stop, “reset” the pitch and then adjust it again to the desired pitch. Annoying during a press play and go class. I have also had issues with it stopping in the middle of songs. Not sure what they “updated” but it was not a positive for the app.
2019-05-27
Go back
I’m sorry to say but I do not like this updated version of Tempo Magic. I have been using this app for years in all my classes. It used to be easy to adjust the tempo and skip to next song and now there is a delay. When your teaching a class you can’t have a pause or delay and it’s very difficult to adjust the tempo. Everything was super easy to use before and flowed excellent!! Please go back or fix. As a instructor I don’t have time to handle my iPod. I want to push a bottom and have it respond immediately. Please Help
2019-03-29
Last update was a year ago
No wonder it’s buggy. Last update was a year ago. Is it won’t let me add any music at all. It really should just be taken off the App Store if it flat wont work!
2019-03-23
Trash
Doesn’t work!!
2019-01-31
Cancelled
If I would’ve known that I can’t use my music from iTunes I wouldn’t have downloaded the app! I know it’s just $5.99, it’s the principle of the matter!
2019-01-30
If I could leave 0 stars, I would!
None of my music will add to a playlist on the app. I use Apple Music, and every time I try to add a song, the app says it is removed because it says it doesn’t support music from 3rd parties. The 5 songs that did download won’t play. There is an error message that says “couldn’t get sample buffer”. This app is a scam. I want my money back!!!
2019-01-01
Perfect for dance classes
As I dance teacher, I must have the ability to slow down, and slowly speed up, songs at my whim. This app is perfect for this. Just add the song I need and play it as many times as I want to at different speeds. I can even slow it down or speed it up while the song is playing! Perfect for me.
2018-12-15
Could Not Imagine Teaching Without This App
I have been using this app for nearly four years in my Cycling classes. It’s been nothing less than extraordinary. Have you ever wished a song was just a bit faster or slower without the quality of the vocals being affected? This app does this. You cannot use Spotify, Apple Music, or other services. You can only use music you purchase through sources like ITunes.
2018-11-15
Disappointed
I bought the app because it said I could use music in my iTunes library. False! Every single song or album I tried to add came back with a block that iTunes does not allow third parties access to their library etc.
2018-10-29
Great app, major exception
Love Tempo Magic because it is easy to import songs and modify beats per min — super helpful for organized exercise activities. However, it is NOT compatible with Apple Music. Had I known this sooner, I would definitely not have purchased the app. The majority of songs I want to speed up or slow down are Apple Music downloads, so this limitation is quite frustrating.
2018-10-05
Great tool for classes
Love, love , love this app. The only thing I really miss is being able to lock different pace for different songs during interval workouts. Once I can set it that way the fifth star will be added by me for sure
2018-07-15
Worthless with iCloud/Apple Music
If you use and download substantial amounts of music from Apple Music beware those songs won’t work with this app. So essentially my entire library of music was rejected and won’t play in the app. Developer needs to provide clearer warning of this before wasting $5.
2018-06-25
Great app
I like this app very much. My suggestion to improve it would be the ability to change the tempo of songs individually within a playlist. I might take a CD that each song is 128 bpm but I want the first four songs to be 136, and then the remainder to be 120. I have to stop class and manually change it. If I could change each song’s Tempo individually and save it, it would be fabulous!
2018-03-10
Cant figure it out
I’m pretty tech savvy, but I can’t figure this one out. I’m trying to add a playlist, or rather ANYTHING from my iTunes library (all downloaded from the cloud) and whenever I do, I get the error message below. What gives? Please tell me there’s a simple fix. Hate to think I’ve just wasted $5.99.
There was a problem adding tracks
If you use iTunes Match, please download the tracks you’d like to play.
Additionally, Apple does not allow third party applications to access DRM protected tracks (annotated as ‘protected aac’ in iTunes on your computer).
The following tracks have been removed:
2018-02-21
Apple Watch compatibility
Please make an Apple Watch version!!
2018-01-27
Nope!
I used to love this app. I loved it, especially for my long runs, but then something happened. It got rid of ALL of my music I had on it, and I got a message saying Apple wouldn’t let me use the music I had downloaded from Apple Music. What?!? Why?!? I’d been using it just fine, and now I can’t? This is infuriating. I would give it zero stars, because I paid for something I can’t use. It gets one star only because this is the only way I’m allowed to send this review.
2018-01-11
REFUND NEEDED
I would like a full refund please because it’s not working with the songs I want . Is that possible?
2017-12-30
Apple Watch
This app works great for me but would be nice if it worked with my Apple Watch. Classes don’t always go as planned and I find my self using Apple Music more just so I can switch music easily from my wrist.
2017-11-15
Amazing for Ballet
This Ap is everything! I use this Ap in every ballet class I teach, it allows me to select the right tempo for each exercise, and cater the music to my students abilities.
What happened to this app? The latest version does not have the option for high definition. Tracks have an eco when you slow them down and the music sounds distorted. I am so disappointed!
2017-10-04
Update Issue
Every time I update this app all my programmed BPMs and play list are erased. 1000s of songs worth gone. Please fix this issue!
2017-09-14
Do not buy if you use Apple Music!!
You won't be able to use this app if you have downloaded music from Apple Music!! We use apple family share and I can't use any of them at music. Would have been nice to know this ahead of time...I would not have paid for this one!!!
2017-09-04
Ballet Class Butt-Saver
I love this for teaching ballet class! It is a lifesaver when my students need to try an exercise a bit faster or slower or when I love a track but the tempo isn't perfect for level I'm teaching. The app can't get the Beats Per Minute of most of the tracks I use, so I haven't yet been able to pre-set the tempos on a playlist, but I haven't really felt the need for this feature.
2017-05-25
FINALLY!!!!!!
As an Instructor for almost 30yrs. I thought CD's were great! Then the scratches and the burning and then no more CD players. All iPod/phone playing was born. If your music was a little slow...too bad so sad. Can't use it. Can't pitch it up! This App is awesome! It has opened my virtual music box up and re-invigorated all my classes! Thank you! September Christos
2017-04-22
Like the tempo flexibility
This is a good app if you have favorite music that just isn't quite the tempo at which you want to run. I use it every day, having gotten used to the Lolo apps ability to work with tempo.
My only complaint is that it does not retain my music library. Every day when I open the app I have to re-add my playlist before it will find my music. Even when I save and it asks if I want to replace the existing music and save, it still does this the next day. It's not hard to do esp since I created a playlist just for running but it would be nice if it would stick. I have the paid version so it seems like a glitch, or simply user error, although I have tried multiple times and ways to figure it out.
I use this app with another app called Intervals when I no longer use any of the Lolo apps.
2017-02-18
Good, but could be better
It's been good for a while, but now it's time for improvement. Please make compatible with Apple Watch! Also please make pitching more fine-grained.
2017-02-17
Excellent app for group X instructors
I was reluctant to give up my CDs because the CD player had a pitch control. With this app I don't need the CDs anymore. It really works seamlessly. It's an excellent app.
2017-01-16
Flaky as h3ll
This app is so awesome except when it's playing music it's not supposed to be playing (which happens at least once a class for me). I've figured out that when I replay a track (for our "Turbo" section) I need to completely shut the app down and restart to continue the class, otherwise it plays the track ahead of the one that's listed (it plays the wrong song). If I don't restart the app but manually make it play the correct song I will be stuck doing that for every track for the remainder of the class (annoying to say the least, our class is continuous cardio, NO BREAKS!!!!). Occasionally the app gets REALLY screwy and I delete it from my phone and reinstall, fingers crossed that works. Just now I was practicing and in the middle of a track the music started over from the beginning, although it still listed the correct track (about 35 mins into the class). I wish there was a better app out there but I haven't found one with the same functionality this one had. I even paid for the "pro" version of tempo magic. This silly app has been driving me nuts for years! Someone please fix or make a better one!!!!!
2016-10-23
Love this app!
This app enhances my workout experience every time I use it. Being able to modify the bpm is genius!
2016-10-21
Not bad, but need improvements!
Can you guys improve an app by adding a time of all songs together? Im teaching 60 min class and every single time calculate duration of a playlist. Also,when I'm adding songs to playlist and I want to hear them first so play bottom would be perfect. Other han that Im pretty satisfied. Thanks.
2016-07-29
Group Exercise Essentials
Great app to change tempo to vary workout intensity. Can't imagine life without it. Easy to use and large text helps me see BPM from 15+ feet away....
2016-07-06
Line dance dream
Some of our more difficult line dances are danced to really fast music. Being able to regulate speed during the learning process is extremely helpful. This app does that very well.
2016-05-18
Great for phone, meets apple watch app
Please make an Apple Watch app.
All it needs is a skip/rewind buttons and accelerate/slow buttons.
As an instructor, it is sometimes disruptive to move over to change the tempo when you've started. I think it would be great to adjust the tempo by hitting an up or down button.
2016-05-14
Love it
I used it on my walk yesterday and improved my time 45 seconds per mile from the walk before. Love it, love it. A must for walkers and runners.
2016-05-10
Over Rated!
While this works in theory, you have to classify each song you want to change at the 150 bpm in order to give the full range of bpm options.
Not great. 😡😡
2016-05-10
Best Group Ex app ever!!!
This one is the best app for any group ex class! Not only it works well for step or kickbox I also use it for Spinning if I need a certain beat to match the RPM I have in mind! Just perfect!!!
2016-05-09
Perfect
Works great for running- can make almost any song 90 bpm
2016-05-07
Works great
Tempo Magic is
simple, to use, and works well, especially with the processing power of new iPhones.
2016-05-03
Still the champ
Smooth playback, never crashes, easy to use, no complaints. When I'm live in class, this is the app that never lets me down.
2016-05-02
Works perfectly!
I'm a fitness instructor and music junkie and this is my FAVORITE app. I literally use it everyday. Whatever you do to workout - run, walk, bike, elliptical, yoga, pilates, strength (anything!) - can now be done at YOUR pace with any and all of your favorite music.
I can easily create a fresh playlist for every workout, and I've never had a single issue with this app.
2016-05-02
Best App!
Love the new features. Thanks for continuously making it even better. It was great before but the little touches improved it.
