Leave a Review The Metronome by Soundbrenner
LOVE IT
It’s super easy to use, everything makes sense... Probably the best metronome app!
I just have one suggestion: I wish you could program the set list to automatically change settings after a set number of bars to allow for meter changes in more complicated tunes like you would in a protools session...Show lessIan_the_musicorn

Thanks so much for the review and your support. We really appreciate your feedback to us, I passed it onto our development team and we’ll continue to make the app even better with your suggestions. 😊Beautifully functional app... but no Watch support??
I want to use Soundbrenner for all my production and live work. I really do. But the need to purchase a separate piece of hardware (that is a direct replacement for my Apple Watch - for my use case) is a non-starter.
If an “in-app upgrade,” or “pro” version existed which included Watch pulse functionality, I’d be all in. It may even lead to purchasing the proprietary device... I have no doubt it’s a better experience when you’re controlling the UEX end to end. I’d love to see some middle ground for someone like myself, who is faced with many alternate options - some new and some I’ve used for years.
Really great and beautifully built app (completely unexpected for a metronome!) but for the full “body tempo” functionality, I’m going to keep looking.Show lessjmcguire

Thank you for your review. This suggestion will help us with what we need to fix or improve. I have delivered this to our Team for future reference.Just downloaded and uninstalled
I had this set to 20bpm and was going through every rhythm to see how it worked. After the 16th notes it started to count in a way I couldn't figure out or adjust in settings. This app would count "one" then count the beats per measure. For example when set to 1/4 notes it would count "one" 4 times starting one the first beat of the measure. When I set it to the 1/16th note rhythms with rests, it would count "one" then count "one" for the first beat of the measure. The flashing bars were also out of sync. I figured I could adjust it for my preferences but could not find many useful settings. My Ipad is a 7th Gen and 3 weeks old. It was throwing me off so I just uninstalled it.Show lessSoundbrenner?
Love the device, the app leaves something to be desired
I really love the device. I play drums and this device really helps keep me on the beat. My problem is with the application. Occasionally when the application updates it deletes my song library, and there is no way to backup the library. I had a song library with about 200 songs in it, and after an update the library is gone. Really a pain to have to re-enter all my songs.
Update October 2019
With help of support, there is a hidden menu that can restore your music library, but in my experience it only brings back about half of my songs. In my conversation with support they promised that iCloud backup of the music library was coming. This week, my music library disappeared again, and of the 200+ songs I had in the library only 90 songs restored. From what I can see there is still no iCloud backup, so I am done re-entering my songs library by hand. I love the device but the app leaves a lot to be desired.
Update December 2019
The app now deletes my song library every day, and the restore functionality no longer restores anything. Emailing support is basically useless as they have no answers, and no ideas when the library issues will be fixed.Show lessrogerw
Exactly what I need!!
This app is going to make it so much easier to learn new pieces on my flute, and even piano! I am so excited by the feature to chose a time signature, and the other various options make it so easy to use. I’ve only had this app 5 minutes, but I already love it. Every musician needs this app!Aims9182746

We’re sorry to hear that our app has been crashing for you, we’d like to look into this a bit more, can you please send our team an email at support@soundbrenner.com with your phone specs so we can look into this issue.Great when it works, just doesn’t work on iPhone.
After my last 3* rating a while ago (see below), its now so buggy that it just wont work on iPhone at all. Very disappointing at its good when it does work.
Very good app, well thought out and spot on in terms of functionality. However, of late it’s been quite ‘buggy’, freezing and needing shutting down and re-opening at a different tempo to avoid it just freezing again.
Update: inaccurate on start-up. Consistently now the app on both phone and tablet gives the wrong beat each time the app is opened. For instance, this morning the tablet said 40bpm, but the actual tempo was 120, as I discovered when I used the dial to change the beat.Show lessDurham60

Thanks so much for the review and your support.😍We really do appreciate it!Good
Simple and sleek design, very professional. One thing I might improve is the option to have a few saveable presets to load, as it’s rather cumbersome to interrupt practice to scroll through or type the next required bpm. I constantly practise parts at a couple different bums, so it would be a lot faster to just press a preset button and go. Unless that’s already an option and I’m just being stupid... then please inform me devs!Show lessthetpmaster
