### 5/5 — Great but now broken

*2026-07-19*

I have been using this app every day for quite a while, excellent , but the latest iOS update seems to have broken it, it now clicks at a lower volume when the interval goes up rather than having silent clicks. Turning ringer on and off doesn’t help. Update?

### 5/5 — Perfekt Timing Trainer

*2025-12-19*

Super App total unkompliziert großer Lerneffekt wer sein timing verbessern möchte

### 4/5 — Good but …

*2023-01-31*

I really like this app with the interval circles but interval clicks will not turn off even when I toggle it off. 😟 would be a 5 star if it worked.

### 5/5 — Great app for a while, no sound

*2020-12-28*

Love the concept of the app. All the sudden the app is producing no sound though. Everything else seems to be working, but metronome is no good without sound. Yes, I’ve checked my volume settings. Hoping this can be resolved soon so I can get back to using it!

**Developer response:** Hi Jim, 
The app is designed to only make sound when the phone's ringer is on. I get messages here and there about this, and it invariably fixes the issue to simply turn the ringer on. A future version of the app will have the sound always on, regardless of the ringer setting. 
My best,
Dan

### 4/5 — Glad to see an update!

*2019-03-20*

I’ve been using this app for a while now and it’s great.

A couple things could make it easier to use- 
The start/stop button being larger than a tiny switch would be helpful I think, and also almost every time I start the app it starts out beating. I’d prefer it to start up in a stopped state.
Also if the DoubleTime button could be huge, even something like take up half of the screen say, that would make it easier to hit it without losing the flow of playing. I suppose it could just get huge when the metronome is actually running? Or maybe doubling with a swipe instead of a button?
I’d also like a quick way to halve the time back down one step, as it’s currently quickest to push it back to zero and then double it back to where you were previously.

### 1/5 — It does not click

*2018-09-22*

Intriguing idea but the Sound is messed up so it does not click, which renders the whole thing useless.

### 5/5 — Best metronome I know with great practicing features

*2017-06-22*

Best metronome app that I know! Aside from just keeping time, it offers great features for your practicing, too, and helps you improve your time and groove

### 5/5 — Great Tool from a Great Musician

*2014-11-30*

I've been using a version of this game for years now and it has done wonders for my time. If you're not familiar with Dan Tepfer's playing, check him out and you'll be instantly sold on this practice method. 

This app has a solid, simple interface and super clean programming. As an added bonus, there is a list of tips from Dan himself explaining how to get the most mileage out of this particular tool. Genius!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2014-11-29*

This and time guru are the most useful metronomes for me. Highly recommended.

### 1.4 — 2021-08-20

Added ability to change tempo by the standard increments used on traditional metronomes (40, 42, etc all the way to 208), which are larger than 1 and are bigger for higher tempi. Use the new double arrows for this. Very useful for getting a passage gradually up to tempo when practicing.

Updated for 64 bit — takes away the "this app may slow down your phone" warning.
