I’m sure there’s a glitch happening. However, there’s no way of contacting anyone seems like! ### 3/5 — A bit buggy *2026-02-10, version 2.0.9* Awesome idea WHEN IT WORKS !!! Sometimes the sounds default to one lame sound only ### 1/5 — Не стабильно работает! *2026-02-02* Я на него подписан, но он постоянно навязывает мне подписаться на него ещё раз. Причём это навязчивое предложение нельзя просто пропустить и продолжить работу, обязательно нужно что-то выбрать, после чего все настройки метронома сбрасываются, громкость непосредственно грува зачем то уводится в ноль. ### 5/5 — This has changed my practice for the better! *2025-12-21, version 2.0.9* I reviewed this app in its early days, and the latest release has compelled me to review it again. The Pro features that have been added are simply astounding for the professional and aspiring musician. The ability to create and manage set lists, and then share them via email or text message is a godsend. Some new banks have been added, and they are even better than the first batch! Can’t say enough good things about it! ### 4/5 — Best metronome app for drummers right here! *2025-12-15* I use this app for myself for practice as well as with students where I teach. I can’t recommend it enough! The students LOVE it. It makes working on things WAY more fun and productive. I only wish that they would produce more music packs to buy more frequently. I would buy them! SUCH a great app! **Developer response:** Remember that the volume being sent to Bluetooth is also subservient the overall volume on your phone. There have been no code or content changes in Volume output for several revisions now. Also ensure to manually refresh the two volume sliders (click and groove) even if the display shows them at full. If you have any more trouble (which is unusual!) please direct your communication to support@grooveclix.com and we'll work with you to resolve your issue ASAP PS - I should also note that going to the EQ page and raising all the sliders will give you a substantial (almost 24db) boost in overall output. ### 3/5 — Not sure what to *2025-10-17* I did a trial version of this on an older phone of mine and really liked it. I have a newer phone now and downloaded the basic version or lite. It’s only a click. Without the subscription, I would probably not use this as there are other metronomes available that will do the exact same thing. Perhaps something is not working correctly, the only option is a basic metronome with the same click sound. The app allows you to select different things, but the basic click is all that ever plays. There’s no indication that you need to upgrade or subscribe to access that feature. ### 1/5 — Not accessible in disappointing *2025-10-10, version 2.0.8* I have heard such great things about this app, but when I downloaded it and attempted to use it, unfortunately this app is not accessible with VoiceOver on my iPhone. I only know of one accessible metronome app and unfortunately this is not one of them. ### 4/5 — I love this! But…. *2025-09-22, version 2.0.8* What would make it even more awesome - if the ramp option could keep cycling back to the start automatically. Eg start at 80bpm increase 15 every 8 bars up to 200 then after 8 bars loop back to the start automatically. I can’t find any metronome to do this and don’t want to have to load and program a sequencer on my phone 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 ### 5/5 — BEST METRONOME *2025-09-06, version 2.0.8* Nothing to write about it! Just the PERFECT metronome ### 1/5 — Groove volume unavailable *2025-08-30* It's a great idea and the videos make you want to use it, but in the demo version I downloaded it's simply impossible to adjust the volume of the Groove (or the music, in fact). So I end up with a simple metronome like there are loads of them all over the place. I don't know whether it's a restricted or limited version. I found the interface very attractive, but not very intuitive, with various suggested tariffs from which you don't really know what to choose, as the basic version only offers tempo. I'm not going to spend hours trying to adjust the volume. Then again, my phone has the biggest screen. ## Frequently asked questions about GrooveClix Metronome ### What does the GrooveClix Metronome app do?
