Tracks served by Spotify and Apple Music reintroduced DRM protection that didn’t work with existing music tempo apps. Those apps became less useful as the music world moved to streaming. One of my favorite examples on iOS is Capo Touch. Those apps enabled musicians to methodically practice and perfect parts of a song by playing along slowly until they could match a song played at normal speed. When iTunes moved away from DRM-protected tracks in 2009, a whole category of utilities became possible that allowed users to slow down and loop the music they purchased without changing the pitch of the track. Other apps have similar functionality that I’ve covered before, but what makes Perfect Tempo unique is that it can slow down and speed up streamed Apple Music tracks, which other apps can’t do. The app is a simple utility designed for musicians and dancers who want to slow down or speed up music without affecting its pitch and loop it as they learn a song. Nearly 11 years into the App Store, it isn’t often that an app surfaces that does something unexpected which no one else seems to be doing, but Perfect Tempo by developer Open Planet does precisely that.
