900, 892, 929

Last one was without tapping my foot, ironically.

Well, I don't fare all that well. Even when singing along I get only into the mid-700s. I do wonder, however, what one would get from a pro. I've tried zeroing in metronome to various James Taylor mp3s and never can find a consistent beat throughout a piece. We're not robots, and that's a good thing.

Good one. Hot toddys.

839 on my cell phone on the train. Good enough for folk music.

What I don't like about it (aside, obviously, from the fact I can't get as high as 900...), is that there is no scale showing how far off the beat you are.
As I said above, I'm not worried about my results (anywhere in the 800s), because I'm early and late roughly equally (almost alternately) - meaning my time keeping is good (assuming the results display means what it seems to) - but it would still be interesting to know what percentage I'm off by (beat by beat).

Usually getting in the 920s range.

Addendum: set my metronome to 120 (tempo of the app) and on a few trials tapped a computer key right along with that (test synchs up with your metronome during the first few taps). It did not make any difference in variability of test results or average score. - i.e. the brain hears it better than the finger taps it.

Probably because we tend to start tapping the spacebar on the beat, and obviously it takes a small amount of time for the spacebar to travel to the bottom of it's stroke and for the computer to then register the press.

Or we sense we are off on one tap and speed up or slow down on the next tap, and so on.

Here is one of mine (probably typical of most people):
