  • Best app

    It helps a lot with getting in time with you music you should get this app if you have an instrument this app is for you. It has helped a lot in the past for me to get in time with my instrument. You can even change it to any beat you want.

  • So close to awesome yet so far... 1 year later

    First, I want to commend these folks for offering a free metronome with all the subdividing bells and whistles. That is mighty, mighty cool and I’m a fan on that basis alone. That said, the swing beat setting is so glitchy it is absolutely unusable at any tempo -it is, sadly, the worst I’ve ever experienced. I haven’t had it very long and haven’t explored the other subdivisions but it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing. On a less dismal note, it would be great if, in the wide variety of sounds offered, there was an actual, simple metronome click. Tough one to rate star-wise as it is almost an incredible app but it fails on its most elementary mandate. A fix of these tempo glitches would warrant so many stars. I wish the developers well...

    1 YEAR LATER

    After posting my review, the developers were quick to reach out - much appreciated! The only recommendation I got was to update my iOS and app regularly - already do that. Not only did that not fix the problem, in the past weeks, the problem has gotten worse. Now, not only is the swing feature useless due to dropped beats, now the triplet feature drops beats and bounces the “1” around randomly - even at slow BPM.

    Again, I love the concept but the product has moved from one setting being unusable to two. Sorry to see this great idea get worse. So many awesome options don’t mean much when the central function fails.

  • Even a child can use it!

    My 10yo is toward the end if her first year of piano lessons. She has been struggling with speed and accuracy together. She was dreading practice and classes. I thought a metronome would help her increase speed incrementally, but am frankly running out of space!

    So, I looked in the App Store and found this app. It’s absolutely perfect! It was up and running instantly — even with a middle-aged mom at the controls. ;-)

    We started her exercise at 100bpm and increased it by 5bpm at a time. In less than an hour, she was accurately performing the piece at 230bpm!!! She’s once again excited about practice and classes. Her metronome app is her constant companion at the piano now.

    I’m sure there are plenty of great features that will be useful one day. But those extra features often make it difficult for newbies to do the basics. Not here! The basic stuff is intuitive and simple. Love it! Thank you!

  • Best Metronome App Out There

    I love using Soundbrenner as my go to metronome. There are so many things you can do with the app. Overall the experience is great. The only suggestion I have (and maybe it’s already a thing and I just don’t know how to do it) is that you are given the capability to create your own “song” per say. What I mean is that a musician would be able to take a piece he or she is working on and replicate it as a saved file. You would be able to put in the number of measures and customize it with the correct time signatures as well as beats per measure as they change throughout the piece. Other than that, this is a fantastic app and I would recommend it to any beginner and or professional.

  • Keeps Crashing on Opening the App

    Used this metronome for a while and it’s been really good, except from recently when i tried to open the app and it crashed. Have tried opening it multiple times but still doesn’t seem to work and have tried restarting my phone but it still just crashes on open.

  • Great for exercising to!

    I have some exercises to do to help with my balance. Each position has to be maintained for 30 seconds before moving to the next. I tried to time myself by singing melodies, but, alas, my tempo was not consistent. Cue a search for a metronome app, and this one came with the best reviews. Downloaded it, set my metronome (with a bit of adjustments to get the timing right), played with the sounds until I found the combination that I liked, and now I’m all set for my exercise sequence! Knocked one star off the review because it doesn’t play the last three beats of the last bar, and I can’t set the time for a saved song (although I’m told this is in the pipeline).

  • The best metronome app

    I have been using this app for 2 years now and I still love it. Although I don’t like metronome this one is my favourite one. I advise people who need metronome to install this app. Well done to ‘The Metronome by Soundbrenner’ team! Sometimes there are glitches where the app stops working and I have to uninstall then reinstall the app

  • Don’t know what to say

    This app is the best metronome app around, other companies are all making metronomes where you have to pay to get the whole thing, but this, this is fantastic. No adds, no in app purchases, no nothing other than a good quality app, I would give a 10 out of 5 if I could. The design is brilliant and an all round, good app

  • Best Metronome App TO DATE!!!!!

    The fact that you can use different sounds for the actual metronome itself is pretty impressive; but when you factor in the fact that you can pair wearables with this app is ALL THE RAGE! I’m on the worship team at my church and as a drummer, whenever I have to washout on the cymbals it’s difficult to actually change the Click while still drumming, only with the Soundbrenner Pulse I can change the Click and/or stop it entirely with the flick of a finger! 10/10 Would Recommend!!

  • SO SO GREAT BUT!

    This app is amazing, but please add this one feature and it’s a done deal. Add custom MEASURES within songs to have an easy flow of songs and tempo changes after a certain amount of measures!! (EVEN MORE IMPORTANT)! Also, the transition between songs in a set list MUST be seamless. Meaning when I click the next button, and I still have 2 or 3 beats left in that measure, it should WAIT UNTIL the downbeat of the NEXT MEASURE in order to change. If you do this, things like Rush will be a drummers dream with this metronome, and I will be able to calculate measures in order to help with my practice for my WGI independent group I am in, for seamless movement transitions.
