DSMetronome v1.0 released

Demented has posted his first release for the Nintendo DS:

Hello all,

I've made something and I want to share it with the community!

It is a metronome. For those who don't know about, it's a tool to help practicising music.
I haven't seen any on DS. Since I think it's something very suitable for a DS I decided to build one by myself.

The key features are:

- A sequencer with nice drum kit elements which you can activate/deactivate to make part of your own custom rythm.
- Save the current configuration in order to restore it the next time you launch the app.
- Tapping tempo to match rythms of, for instance, a song you're listening now.
- Different Key signatures 4/4, 3/4, 2/4, 1/4
- Help pages to instruct users how to use it
- Nice interface (take a look at it

I've tried to make it as "casual" and polished as possible.
I expect you like it.
Enjoy!

I've been waiting for something like this. Jam Sessions has a metronome, but it's nowhere near as full-featured as this one looks.
I'm gonna give it a try.
EDIT: Tried it. Very polished piece of homebrew. I don't have a metronome, and this just saved me the money of buying one. It's got a few usability issues (touch = up, L button + touch = down) but it's easy to learn and you're only going to be looking at it for a few seconds anyhow.

When I tried to download it, it stopped at about 146Kb. Is there something wrong with the link or something? Nevermind, it just worked. I like it a lot.
