  • Love this app. Probably my favorite of all of them out there

    To all fellow musicians, if your looking for a good metronome app, this is the one. I, no joke, use it all of the time when I practice/or do homework. Is easy to use and I really like the layout of it (modern and simple). Has all advanced features as well for more complicated rhythms and time signatures which is super helpful. Get it people!

  • Amazing!

    I’m in marching band and need to practice my music. The deferent colors make it fun and the settings are easy to understand. I also love how you can change the sound of the metronome trim a tick to a cowbell to snare sticks. I’m in the precision and the snare sticks helps a lot. Also there is a clear tone change on beat one wick helps keep you from getting lost! I love this app!

  • Doesn’t work on watch yet

    Cuts out when screen goes black - like the other pulse watch app.

    Best of luck changing this as if you guys can get it to work continuously it’ll be great!

    Also a range of sounds or cowbell would be great - I couldn’t use it with my metal band rehearsal even through the phone as it was too tinny.

    Visually it’s stunning though

  • Not much use on the watch

    This is mot much use for the apple watch. As soon as your watch goes to sleep (i.e as soon as you turn your wrist to a playing position) the haptics stop. They should have an sleep override function. Also the haptic feedback is far too weak for percussionists.
  • 5stars

    very very good app, I would love the haptics on the apple watch if I had a watch ;(
  • Very good, one regretful limitation

    This app is phenomenal and I love the Taptic feedback on the phone and watch. This is great if you’re going to perform and you just want to make sure you’ve got the right tempo in your head.

    One limitation that’s a little frustrating is that you have to go into the app’s settings to switch between sound and Taptic pulse. It would be great if there was an easy-access switch on the main screen for this feature.

  • Heaps of potential from clearly talented designers

    I jus wish this app had an onboarding - or a clear and simple single screen of instructions. The design is so minimalist that I find myself never able to do what I want. I open it up, start a beat accidentally, then I close the app and the beat doesn’t stop. Good feature - but why, when I come back into the app, is there not a simple “stop” icon anywhere on the interface? Also some guidance on how to change from “metronome” mode to “tapping to see how many BPM” mode. I know the app does both but I can’t reliably switch.

  • Best metronome - physical or electronic

    This met is better than the one my band director uses. It’s so simple and easy to use. Two things I’d suggest are to add more subdivisions like 32nd notes, and also to include tempo words like allegro, grave, presto, etc.

    All in all, such a useful app. I also love that you can connect multiple devices to one! It really helps with my trombone quartet!

  • Beautiful Simplicity

    A gorgeous metronome that easily lets me set a bpm and just go. No overly confusing interface or weird dials. Just set the speed and go. One suggestion I’d have, however, is due to the only way to change the bpm is through the circle, fine tuning it can be tedious at times. As in from 101 bpm, to 100 bpm for example. A simple ability to tap the right side of the screen to make it go up one and the left to go down instead of setting the tempo through tap would be a nice option available. Incredible app none the less

  • Very Good

    I don’t use this app very often; however, when I do, it is a very nice to use as it has a clean interface. Sometimes I need a metronome to get a beat, after that, I am okay. I like how you can sync a tempo with another device. I also like the countdown when synced with another iPhone (if this could be done even when not synced, it would be great). I do not have an Apple Watch and therefore cannot say anything about that.

    ISSUES THAT I HAVE:
    When you first open the app, you are asked what you will use this app for, and what instrument you play. I Don’t mind this, but I don’t understand why it matters. Also if you could change this setting later.
    Also haptic feedback does not happen on iPhone 7.

    SUGGESTIONS:
    If you could set a separate sound for the down and upbeats, that would be nice.

    CONCLUSION:
    Very good and I would recommend it to someone who wants a metronome. Four not five stars because of the aforementioned issues and some other problems to insignificant to mention here.
