Questions

How many taps does it need to find the BPM?

Four taps give a first number. Eight or more give a steady one. The small number under the BPM shows how even your taps were.

How accurate is tapping on a phone?

Touch screens and Bluetooth headphones add a small, steady delay. For the rhythm check, use the space bar on a computer, or wired headphones.
