  • Best. Metronome. Ever.

    I just figured out how to change the sounds. The only suggestion I have is to have a countdown timer for getting time to get yourself ready. Playing the guitar (learning) is challenging enough without having to get into position fast..
  • Exiting

    By far my favorite met app on the platform. I’m on an iPhone XR and for some reason when I pause the metronome to do something else, when I return back and press play the met won’t work. It happens every time I do this unless I leave it playing in the background. Would love to see this bug fixed!
  • Brilliant

    A must for teachers to recommend for students of any instrument and a great tool for pros as well. The flexibility and ease of use is what many of us have been looking for. I would pay a few dollars if it was a paid app. That it is free makes it even sweeter.
  • So much fun

    Helps me tap into my creative, musical side, love it
  • Amazing

    Nuff said
  • Great App, painful bug

    The ability to create various meter and/or accent patterns in the same measure without having to spend ten minutes making a loop is amazing. My only issue is that I’ve been getting a bug where, about one out of five times I hit play, nothing happens. If I shut down the app completely, it conveniently brings me back to the preset I was just using and the app works fine. I love all the unique things the app can accomplish, however it can be slightly infuriating when the play button does not work consistently on a $4 metronome app.

  • Simple. Versatile. Beautiful.

    This is the most unique and beautiful, simple yet versatile metronomes I have ever used. Incredibly helpful for working on rhythms. Excellent app!
  • Fantastic

    Excellent metronome, all I wish is for ipad split-screen support.
  • Fantastic metronome/beat machine

    I really love this app. It has a minimal and easy UX that allows you to get straight to the good stuff quickly. The ability to change the sounds for up to four different pips, not only makes it more sonically pleasing than most metronomes, it also means it doubles as a great beat machine than can easily program far more complex rhythms than many iOS beat machines available. One bug I’ve noticed - the fourth pip (dark gray), which starts out default as silent, only changes sound when you scroll to another sound setting, then exit/re-enter the app. I also just discovered that whatever changes you make with a preset selected, overwrite the preset! This is definitely NOT desirable behavior and I just lost several programmed patterns due to this (not a bug per se but still annoying). Please change this so you only write to a preset when selecting to save and give it a name, to avoid accidental destructive edits.

    Feature requests for the developer: please add Ableton Link/midi clock sync capability, and consider compatibility with AudioBus, AudioShare, and other iOS pro audio apps! In addition, the ability to upload user sounds as sources. Would make this already quite potent tool, absolutely formidable.

    Four stars for now due to the bug, preset handling, and lack of inter-app integration, but I hope to come back and make it five stars in the future. Overall I’m highly impressed with Impulse!!

  • Needs note values

    It needs a note value that you can turn on and a help screen
