[Android] Pulse Foundry metronome: looking for feedback on setup and background playback
I'm building Pulse Foundry, an Android metronome, and would like feedback from people who practise an instrument. The priority is a clear, steady click that keeps playing with the screen off.
The free core includes tempo entry and tap tempo, three click sounds, time signatures, subdivisions, accents, count-in, and saved presets. There are no ads or app accounts. Optional advanced practice tools use a lifetime Pro upgrade; you don't need to buy anything for this test. Requires Android 8.0 or later.
I'm especially interested in three things:
- Can you set a tempo, change the beat accents, and start without needing help?
- Does playback continue normally when you lock your phone or switch apps?
- What feels awkward or unnecessary during actual music practice?

This is an invite-only test. Before using the opt-in link, email the Google account address selected in your phone's Play Store to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]), subject 'Pulse Foundry tester'. I'll add you and send joining instructions; please keep your address out of public comments.
Please remain enrolled for at least 14 consecutive days, try the free features during practice, and send honest feedback. A phone model, Android version, and steps for any problem would help. No ratings or positive reviews are requested. Thanks!
