Review by @Jaydadrums *2021-03-09, version 1.2* It’s one of the best metronome apps I’ve used. It’s so simple, easy to use and navigate but you can do so much with it! You can add odd time signatures, add beat divisions and add silent notes as rests. You can even change the sound of your click which is so awesome. There’s different tools and settings to customize it however you want and need. So simple but has everything you’ll ever need and want in a metronome. I’m a drummer myself and this metronome works great and will be so helpful to any other musicians out there. You can even colour customize it to your liking! It’s such an awesome app. My search for metronome apps is over! ### 5/5 — Excellent metronome app! *2021-02-22, version 1.1* Simple to use yet detailed enough to really help students understand compound and irregular time signatures. The choose your own colour option is a lovely bonus. I’m recommending this app to all my music students! ### 5/5 — Such an amazing tool! *2021-02-21, version 1.1* Very intuitive and easy to use. Great fun as well with all the creative settings! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2021-12-09, version 1.3* The App opens, but when I hit the play bottom, nothing happens. I’d like a refund please. ### 2/5 — Battery drain *2024-10-27, version 1.7* I had to delete the app as it was draining up to 40% of my daily phone battery in the background if I forget to manually close the app. I also see no option to disable background activity. ### 3/5 — Setlist scroll bug *2025-02-07, version 1.7* When I do a set list that is reaching the end of the screen and has to scroll down. The metronome values glitch stack on top of each other which results in gibberish figures and impossible to read the numbers. After a while app suddenly quit when I was in the set list mode probably because of that bug. I really like your Metronome. I hope you fix this. I would like to use it all the time. ### 3/5 — Setting for background play? *2022-03-13, version 1.4* Is there not a way for the metronome to keep playing when the app is running in the background or the screen is closed? ### 4/5 — I Like It! *2023-05-31, version 1.7* …and might rate it a 5 if they fix the bug where the tempo numbers overwrite themselves making them unreadable. ### 4/5 — Best I’ve found - only one drawback *2022-12-07, version 1.5* The options of this metronome are great. Changing the colour of the app, simple synthesizer like control of your preferred metronome sound (Pitch, duration, tonality), and the ability to make set lists are all great features. My only note would be that the sound doesn’t continue to play in the background if I switch apps to, for example, a photo or pdf of the piece of music I’m playing. ### 4/5 — Practical tool! *2022-03-04, version 1.4* Great features for a metronome. Not quite a “drum machine.” Wish it had a few more “percussion sounds and a little more subdivision options. Nice graphic on main page and very quick manual tempo change function. ### 5/5 — good *2024-04-11* good **Developer response:** Thanks for posting your review! 🙏 ### 5/5 — Simplistic awesome metronome *2023-05-03, version 1.7* Love the pitch change feature so the sound doesn't fatigue your ears ### 5/5 — Accurate and simple interface *2023-04-14, version 1.7* Always looking for an improved metronome and this has some good features. I especially like the ability to customize the click and the sliding tempo adjustment that makes it easy to select a new BPM on the fly. If there was a way to run this in split view on the iPad it would be ideal for me as I'm using it live with a band and have some other apps that I would like to see at the same time. Otherwise thanks for the chance to try it out for free! ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2023-04-14* A metronome. But a visually nice minimalist one. All the settings you need: bpm, beat sound, in-between beat sound, emphasis on first beat. Possible to modify the sounds. Different settings can be saved for later quick retrieval. And intuitive to use. From all the ones I tried out it’s my preferred. **Developer response:** That’s great to hear! Thanks so much for sharing your feedback! ### 5/5 — Off-beat clicks *2023-03-12, version 1.6* This is amazing and goes way beyond what anything else out there out there does. I like to practice with a displaced click, where I perceive the click not as being on the beat, but being on say, every third 16th note. With a regular metronome, I always find it hard making the mental adjustment to feel the pulse against that when starting to play, but with this device, you can have a regular count-in after which it plays a displaced click. One new device, one years-old problem solved! ### 5/5 — Woaav *2023-03-10, version 1.6* You can change the pitch of the metronome,, it’spretty coolio 🤘🏻 ### 5/5 — Not user friendly for set list performance *2022-03-20, version 1.4* Bought this app to program song titles and associated BPM's for each song in a set list for performance. Not a good application for this. After programming a 33 song set list, I found that when selecting a song I had to go to the metronome setting to have the metronome engaged but when going back to the set list it locks up not allowing me to select the next song to continue playing! Being the drummer in the band, I count off each song and need a set list that displays the metronome for each song and immediately allow for advancing to the next song. Unless I misunderstood the app, this is a big fail for me. ### 5/5 — Best metronome *2022-01-12, version 1.4* Accurate and amazing for practice! I particularly love the customisation options: programming in bespoke missing beats is invaluable for groove practice - my favourite new bass buddy! ### 5/5 — Perfect build. Finally. *2021-03-15, version 1.2* I have dreamt of a stable, easily navigable, and professionally competent metronome for years. This is it. Aside from the color selection, which I find to be helpful for my eyes in low light studio atmosphere, it’s entirely streamlined without any unnecessary bells and whistles. The menus for selection of time and division, as well as controlling for tone and sustain of sub counts in polyrhythm is thorough. It will be incredibly beneficial for exploring new playing to experiment with these settings when writing. I would love to see this concept expanded into a common DAW compatible plug in. The mobile is everything it needs to be and then some, and this functionality inside Reaper or Pro Tools would be invaluable. ### 5/5 — Brilliant app! *2021-03-15, version 1.2* This is the most versatile and easy to use metronome app I’ve come across. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
