1.1

December 31, 2019

THANKS EVERYONE! You're amazing! • Initial user image is now being saved at first - thanks to several friendly users who sent us an email • Backgrounding the app not only stops the audio but frees up the microphone - thanks to App Store Reviewer "Keeloid" • Saying "Hey Metronome, slow down" or "speed up" will change the tempo by a default value of 5 bpm - Audiobus Forum member "audiobussy" suggestion • We've got many improvements planned. We appreciate all your wonderful suggestions and kind words! :) THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT! We are all musician/developers who love making apps. Together we can change the world. For friendly conversation about Hey Metronome, ideas, or to say hello, please email aure@audiokitpro.com

Das gibt es doch gar nicht!

Ich liebe AudioKit, weil alles von denen einfach gut ist und ich habe auch fast alles. Aber dieses Metronom – und ich habe viele Metronom Apps – ist phänomenal und umwerfend! Wann hat so viele Möglichkeiten, das allein schon dadurch alle anderen Metronome in die Ecke verbannt werden. Man muss einfach auf alles, was dort zu sehen ist, tippen. Dabei ist es egal ob es Zahlen oder Buchstaben ganze Worte oder Symbole sind einfach drauf tippen und schon eröffnet sich eine neue sehr einfach Einzustellende Möglichkeit. Klänge Taktarten Instrumente können gewählt werden und ganze Lieder abgespeichert. Wenn es in der Musik noch keinen Takt gäbe, müsste man selbigen für dieses Metronom erfinden, echt!

Excellent

Thank you for making such awesome audio and music tools!!! I will donate for sure. I’m a user of Synth one and J6, and now this. So awesome

Very good, could use some improvements

It is a good metronome, and I appreciate the simple transaction. As a pro musician using this for practice, my wishes are: 1) remember my tempo and settings when I close the app. 2) metronome stops playing whenever I foreground the app - whyyy? 3) give an option for a simple backbeat (snare only) or one-click metronome without all the fancy drum patterns.

Love the app, but on IOS 18…

Update (Dec.6) : silly me. Uninstalled, reinstalled fixed it. Still the best in the biz. Thanks Audiokit.

This is my go to metronome. I use it with piano practice, but when I go to open the app after IOS 18, it opens then closes right away. Now I’m using the Ableton Note built in metronome as a back up. Please fix! (I’ll write to Apple too after I finish trying ALL my Auv3 and audio apps). Thanks for any support.
