User reviews

Try for free, then buy if it suits your needs

I think this is a good metronome that replaces my broken Dr. Beats. This trial version maxes out at 80 bpm, which is enough flexibility to try it out. I liked the features and it’s operation enough to buy the full version.

Don’t Bother

You’re still encouraged to upgrade on startup on the free version can’t go any faster than 80 BPM without upgrading.

Response from developer

Dear "EyeGotStung", thanks for trying out our app and sorry that it didn't satisfy you. While all of us prefer to get everything for free, somehow we have to pay the bills. Limiting this entry version to 80 bpm is a tradeoff, of course. In an ideal world, we'd love to provide everything to you for nothing. You can try this version out, experiment with it to see if changing languages and voices suits your requirements, as well as save favourite groups of settings, for free, and if you don't like it, then nothing's lost. Sorry if it didn't meet your requirements this time. Please contact us directly if you'd like to discuss further and what requirements you have. Cheers!

I don’t get it

As soon as you open it , your told to pay for a upgrade to use all features. I couldn’t figure out how to stop it
I love the concept
But I think I’m just going to delete it

Response from developer

Start and stop it by touching the large beat number. Sorry about the bug on startup, we removed that in the latest version.

Some functions work with purchase

I like how it counts beats, and bought it ($2.79) to increase tempo etc. Sadly, it crashes when one attempts to change voice or language, and "favourite beat" function. Please fix the bugs!

Response from developer

Hi Sean in Japan, perhaps you could let us know if this is still the case? Thanks!

Free means free of incentive to buy

Free, but not functional enough to provide a good experience, just a frustrating one -- offer to buy the paid version interrupts too soon. There's a large number of excellent metronome apps so why buy this one unless I can experience its relative merits? Give us an update that holds back a little more on the selling!
