### 2/5 — Is it a ghost?

*2024-04-10*

Is this app active? Seems like it may have some interesting features but I can’t find any way to purchase the full version. Kinda sad since I don’t think I have seen another app like it.

### 5/5 — Professional drummer

*2024-02-28*

This is my favorite metronome app by far. Well done

### 3/5 — Doesn’t connect to App Store

*2024-02-16*

I want to upgrade but can’t….it says that the App Store is not available

### 3/5 — It’s Okay

*2023-08-10*

I can’t figure out how to change the sound of the met itself

### 3/5 — “App store is not available” glitch

*2023-05-14*

We cant buy this if we wanted because it doesnt give us the option to buy it uet, yet we we can still press the “restore purchase” fuction when that isnt possible

### 5/5 — Great app, but registration is broken

*2023-05-06*

Would love to register from my iPad, but it keeps saying “AppStore not available “ - and yet the AppStore works fine

### 5/5 — Professional drummer

*2023-04-28*

### 5/5 — I love it!! Great app!

*2022-08-03, version 4.5.5*

Thank you for making such a great app. It is very useful. Looking forward to future updates.

### 5/5 — Reliable and Flexible

*2021-09-21, version 4.5.3*

I’ve been using this app since 2010, and it’s been an awesome [doctor brand] replacement, in my pocket!

In recent years, I’ve made extensive use of the flexible and easy playlists for a variety of settings. Syncing via iCloud has enabled creating playlists on my iPhone, then running them on an older, dedicated device for playback, which has been a great workflow.

### 5/5 — Looks like it is powerful but the help is almost non-existent

*2021-07-17, version 4.5.3*

I’ve been trying to figure out how to get this app to work in coach mode. No luck. I can see coach mode but the interface does not respond to “long clicks.” So there is no obvious way to turn it on.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the input. To turn on the coach function, just click coach button. Long click will show the coach list. If you still have any trouble, please contact me at ssworks.support@mac.com
