Sorry for the cross post, but if you have an iPhone 3TGS this app may be of

I guess along with my name, I didn't make it clear I was talking about Voice
Over accessibility.
It is amazingly accessible, but not perfect. I contacted the developer and
he had not heard of Voice over, but he has, in the two or three hours since
I wrote him, tried out Voice Over, found it lacking with his app, tried some
fixes that will improve things and plans to work to get more fixes in an
update soon.

Now, that is the kind of reply I like to see from a developer. He has an
app that works pretty well with Voice Over, but now that he knows what Voice
Over is and what it can do, is jumping right in with both feet (or would
that be fingers) and is going to improve things.

Hi Jim,
Do you know how this one goes with VoiceOver?
Many thanks,

Greetings,
My wife was checking for apps to find a better metronome to help her with
her piano practice.
She came across Gigbaby. The paid version allows for more sessions, but the
free version has up to 4. I believe the paid has 42 sessions.
The paid is only $0.99.
Here is the description from the app store:
Description
Gigbaby! is a practice, rehearsal and performance tool for musicians that
play solo
or in groups. It comes with:
metronome
four track recorder
drum machine
set list manager
Share songs with others
Use your desktop browser to transfer files to your desktop. You can also use
the
free Mac and PC transfer utilities:
www.iometics.info
Use it anywhere and any time to practice harmonies, capture and record
ideas, compose
new music, and share your music with others over the network. Great for
karaoke,
remix, and jamming with friends or strangers!
Gigbaby! includes a precision metronome with dozens of rhythm patterns,
multi-track
digital audio record and playback, Set list management to quickly recall the
setup
for any song, and network sharing to exchange audio tracks with other
members of
your band or with friends, family, or fans! With GigBaby! each member of the
group
can record their own tracks, then swap tracks to bring together the whole
song.
Features
Audio Tracks
Record and layer multiple audio tracks with CD quality sampling rates
(44.1kbps).
Monitor any mix of tracks (including the rhythm pattern) during your
recording sessions.
Use separate tracks to layer harmonies, guitar, bass, keyboard, backup
vocals, etc.
Independent volume controls let you set the mix, and individual mute buttons
to quickly
cut out specific instruments.
Automatic latency compensation ensures that the audio tracks and rhythm
pattern are
always in sync - including tracks that others send you over the network.
Recording on the iPod touch requires the use of an external microphone.
Rhythm Patterns
The rhythm patterns (beat pattens) cover many of the basic musical styles
including
Rock, Blues, Country, Jazz, Waltz, Hip-Hop and Latin. During audio recording
and
playback the selected rhythm track is automatically started and synchronized
with
the audio tracks. Selections in early versions of GigBaby! are limited, but
future
versions are expected to include dozens more. Visit our web site to learn
how to
submit your own midi rhythm patterns for inclusion with future versions of
GigBaby!
Metronome
The GigBaby! metronome includes a "tap" feature to quickly set the tempo by
feel.
Or you can easily move to a known tempo with the calibrated slider bar, or
enter
a tempo to microsecond resolution using numeric keyboard. The beat pattern
volume
is adjustable, and can be muted with a quick button tap. The display shows
current
beat based on the time signature of the selected beat pattern, and time in
seconds
based on the starting time of the beat pattern. Tempo is adjustable from 30
beats
per minute to 210 beats per minute.
Setlist
The setlist manages all of your settings for the songs you perform. The
configurable
settings include the song name, the associated beat pattern the tempo, any
backing
tracks that you previously recorded, volume settings for the beat pattern
and audio
tracks. You can quickly move through your setlist using presets. No fiddling
with
knobs and buttons! From the setlist detail view you can share tracks with
your bandmates,
friends, family, and fans.
Sharing with other devices or with desktop systems requires WiFi.
GigBaby! user guide is available and host file sharing utilities for the Mac
and
PC are are available at our web site:
www.iometics.info
I downloaded the free version and have experimented some with it. It seems
to be at least ninety-five percent accessible. The separate tracks for
recording have the property that the words never change when you select
something. Like, record-off on each of the four tracks doesn't change to
Record-on when you select it. I haven't quite figured out which way it is
on or off, but I did record a track successfully.
The metronome is very good and has lots of preset beats and provides a real
drum recording to provide the beat.
