- The interface is not that intuitive. It took me a while to figure out that the “halo glow” part of the tempo wheel was spot of the interface I needed to click on to get the wheel to turn.
- Start and Stop time and Loops are really tricky setup with my fat fingers.

Very cool. Nice examples. Is it more useful because the pitch doesn’t change? Does the older kind of technology that changes the pitch with the slowing have any advantage over this? I remember the CD players used for ballet class had a way to slow something down, but it didn’t work very well. For one thing, you could never slow anything down very much. This app seems to allow you to slow things way way down.
