Well, I installed it last night. Thanks, it's pretty cool. I'd like to make the following requests, hoping that you update it as you can. 1. louder-I'd need to use ear buds to be able to play normally and still hear it the way I'd like to. 3. better quality sounds the price is high for an i-phone app-I mean, 10 bucks sounds very reasonable, but there is a four track recorder for a buck. However, if you can get some better sounds, and more volume, then it will be incredible. As it stands, I don't regret the purchase at all. Thanks again. BTW, there is a sevillanas app that has the letras to about 3k sevillanas and fandangos.

I wish I could do it louder, the issue is the iphone speaker sucks. On 3G iphones it is slightly better than on the original iphone. I have speakers connected to it and with good speakers the sound is also great. However, if you PM me which sounds you find lacking I'll try to improve. Any other suggestions are welcome. As for the price, I think it beats the $300+ for the Oscar Herrero flamenco metronome.

Regarding the price, I don't think the price is high for what you get. You get a useful, well written tool, and it's utility should certainly be worth 10 bucks, it's not a lot. You can compare it to beatmaker, another iphone app which goes for $20, (after all, mobile compas is more than a metronome). If something is usefull, it should be worth 10 bucks to you, if its not useful, it isn't worth even a buck. I don't know if you are aware of the big discussion developers are having regarding pricing in the appstore and how the appstore is causing prices to collapse to the point it is no longer justifying the developers effort. There are a few developers that ditched the iphone for that reason and returned to other platforms (like Symbian) where they can maintain a price. This app has very little appeal to non-flamenco players. As such it is not a big seller, and dropping the price will not bring that many more customers. I have another app on the appstore that goes for a buck (non music related). It sells 10 times as much as the flamenco app, but costs a tenth, so it makes the same revenue, which in any case is only pocket money, not going to be able to retire on it... Not even to get a blanca from Anders... I did the flamenco metronome not to make money, rather because flamenco is my passion and I wanted a tool like that for myself. I'm planning a few additional features for it which I think will make it an even cooler tool, I'll keep you posted (it will probably take me a month or two)
