  • This app has made me love playing with a metronome!!

    I absolutely love this app!! They are so many fun ways to play with a click. If I could give any feedback it would to have a way to change time signatures or tempo during a song or be able to easily link up to a GarageBand or Logic Pro project that can do this. If the app could do this, I’d give it five stars!!

  • Set lists and songs deleted every time it’s updated

    This is the second time I have updated the app, in the past year, to find my entire song and set library and lists deleted!! And thus hours of work! This is intolerable and I am extremely annoyed that Soundbrenner has not corrected this problem. The Core and Pulse are great conceptually and are hard to beat because there is nothing else like it on the market. Yet the implementation of the Core and this app are less than par. Not a good job here Soundbrenner. I am a real fan, but the reduction in ease of use from the Pulse to the Core, and this continuing app saga is loosing my support, if there was another competing product, you’d be in danger of loosing my business.

  • Best app I’ve used

    This app is my favorite as it does not require you to buy certain things for different count tones or very high speeds. I like a lot that this app is easy to use and easy to find different things. I just recently started drums and this helps a lot and it has multiple count tones. I usually connect my phone to a speaker and even without one it is still loud enough to just use a practice pad or hit my sticks together. I highly recommend.

  • Great App

    I've been playing music for about 4 years now and this app is by far the best metronome app i've come across. it features a wide variety of features such as count in, tapping to set the bpm, and many other things. they also have wrist watches and chest bands available for purchase if you really wanna get the full experience with the vibrations in time with the met. Overall this app is a must-have for any serious musicians who don't want to spend a lot of money on an actual metronome or an expensive "pro" app.

  • Glad I didn’t buy hardware yet

    I was planning to purchase the pulse or core at guitar center this morning. I decided to use the app by itself for a while to make sure of the functions in the app.
    Well I’m glad I didn’t buy the hardware yet.
    The timing in the app seems to stray rather quickly.
    The 1 beat seems to move around to other beats or it skips a beat.
    Also the time seems not to be steady, like a metronome is supposed to be.
    I’m on the latest app version and latest iOS 14 build.
    I restarted my iPhone 11 and same issues.
    Weird.
    Also when trying other subdivisions, the 1 seemed to skip randomly. Sometimes it was fine but the longer it played the beat seemed to shift or timing slightly strayed.
    I’m so glad I didn’t shell out money for the core hardware.
    Also the app dark mode display is a bit difficult to read and see in low light (like when performing on stage). The blinks are good, just the contrast of the interface should be improved.
    Would also be nice to adjust the color of blinks for better viewing depending on the room environment. It is good as-is, colors is just a suggestion.
    The app has much potential but doesn’t seem like there has been much improvements judging by prior reviews.
    I hope there are improvements - I would buy if I knew the system was more dependable.

  • Very good but a few questions

    I don’t get how you are supposed to put in your email and stuff. Also I don’t want to give any info about my acc on metronome. If you could please just make the log in type your name and surname would be perfect. I’m only typing this because I am a noob at apps. Please make a tutorial on what the song pjs are for Becuase it is confusing. Overall, I LOVE THIS APP!!!!!

  • Landscape mode for iPad

    This app is useless to me without Landscape mode for iPad. Most people have an iPad case and i have the Logitech Combo Touch with keyboard and trackpad. It’s like a mini laptop and props itself up on a side table next to my kit or anywhere. The app is probably fine on the phone but I don’t want to learn two separate apps for lack of a LANDSCAPE feature missing. The audio out plug and lightning power cord are on opposite sides of the 7th Gen iPad. Which end should I prop it up on to use? Oh, yeah it won’t work unless it’s unplugged from the audio or the power. Did anyone making this app ever use an iPad? I’ve never seen an iPad case that props it up in portrait configuration. I Googled to fine “best metronome app FOR iPad”. Your marketing team will be happy to know your app shows up first in the search. It may be the best in function, but without Landscape mode, it’s the WORST in the real world for iPad.

    Thank you for leaving us a review, currently, it is not possible to use the app in landscape mode. However, we understand the importance of this feature and would like to let you know that designing the landscape mode is on our roadmap. We hope to deliver this design in the future. we're sorry for the inconvenience caused by the lack of this feature for now.
  • IT STOPPED WORKING??

    i’ve used this app for almost a year but around a week or so ago the metronome stopped working? it worked perfectly fine before, and then i didn’t use it for a month, but it was still downloaded in my phone the whole time, now, it doesn’t make any noise. I can still change the tempo and all the settings but i no longer hear the beep. what metronome doesn’t make any noise? I’m unsure if this is just a glitch but i hope it gets fixed soon.

    update: i got it to work again, i’m not sure what i did but now it works!!

  • Add this please

    So I love your app but some of my music I have to play in band has a dotted quarter note subdivision and I noticed that your app doesn’t have that. I would appreciate it if you would add this

    Edit: Also, I noticed that in the compose section of the app, you can add how much measures the metronome will play. I think you should add this feature to the song creation part of the app so if your making a set list with multiple tempos subdivisions and time signatures. It would automatically switch to the next song so you won’t have to switch in the middle of playing. This would be really helpful if your setlist one piece of music with tempo changed and time signature changes. It’s really hard to practice a full run through of something when you have to tap the play next button.

  • annoying issues with changing the sound

    I generally enjoy this app, but lately I'm having issues where it won't allow me to change the sound. digital voice becomes very annoying and I'm tired of changing the setting but not getting results-when I return ro the sound setting it's as if I never changed it. gonna download something else now.
