Using my IPad so I can Bluetooth link to my Line 6 Amplifi 150.
I can play my guitar & have the GT lessons,songs,etc. play thru the amp also.
When I load the metronome, it will not load and reads that Flash player is not loaded.....well Flash is not compatible with IPad. Any solution so I can use the metronome?

Metronome is the only app we haven't reconfigured to be ipad compatible. I'm afraid you'll have to use some other metronome on the ipad.

Hard to believe you haven't been able to provide a metronome for iPad users - it's a bummer to have to use an external device. Any plans to provide one soon?

All our iPad development so far has been HTML5. When trying to do audio stuff like a metronome, HTML5 is pretty rudimentary. It doesn't do the sort of music/timing things you need for a metronome, particularly a metronome with the speed drill features of ours.

You can see some people have tried it, but they are very simple:

And then there are timing problems:

So yes it is hard to believe, but there it is.

No more hard to believe than Apple intentionally putting out product (iPhones, Touches, iPads) that is incompatible with Flash. :rolleyes: They (Jobs) had their reasons but they were and are odd man out six years later, IMO. And maybe a little petulant over their broken romance with Adobe. :p

Turns out I was wrong. The metronome now works on iOS.

Have fun :)
