Sometimes the sounds default to one lame sound only ### 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. ### 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 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 ### 2/5 — advertised price wasnt true *2025-02-28, version 2.0.4* i bought one month sıbscription becausei bought one month sıbscription because its written 69 in the app but after i purchased apple bill was 179.... moreover life time subscription is too expensive. doesnt remember what rhytym it last played when its closed. when i try to roll groove selection wheel it accidentally opens up a new window. its written 69 in the app but after i purchased apple bill was 179.... moreover life time subscription is too expensive. doesnt remember what rhytym it last played when its closed. when i try to roll groove selection wheel it accidentally opens up a new window. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2025-02-24* I’m a musician and long time iOS developer. I really wanted to like this app because I really like Jay (and Dave) as a musician, but it falls short. First, a ‘Pro’ subscription isn’t enough to access all of the content. For $4 per month, I don’t want to be squeezed for additional libraries. So it feels like a bit of a cash grab. The app functions as advertised, but the UI is just terrible. It looks like a (bad) 90s graphic design project. There is no state saving. Regardless of how much time I spend configuring the app, it resets every time I reopen. There are a few smaller UX issues that could use improvement. Here is one example, if I set a tempo ramp to increase 4bpm every 2 bars, and I start at 82bpm and end at 100bpm, the app never gets to 100bpm. It stops at 98bpm. Yes, if you add 4 to 82 4x you’ll get 98. But I chose 100 for a reason. There are a few ways to handle this behind the scenes. Is this terrible? No. Just a bit annoying. With improvements to the UX/UI and a better in-App purchased plan, I’d reconsider this. But for now, I’m moving on. **Developer response:** We appreciate the feedback about state saving, and that feature has been implemented in the next release. ### 4/5 — Version gratuite *2025-02-05* Bonjour cette application a l’air vraiment très utile et amusante mais il m’est impossible de lancer le metronome avec la version gratuite. ### 2/5 — monthly GC pro charge with Max in place *2025-01-15, version 2.0.4* I made the 1-time purchase on GC Max but still got monthly bill for GC pro. Did not notice it until 3 months passed. Please fix this bug. Thanks. ### 3/5 — Too much spam *2025-01-05, version 2.0.3* Interesting take on a metronome, but the spam via notifications is unacceptable. Disabling notifications for this app now! ### 2/5 — Needs work *2025-01-05, version 2.0.3* It would of been a great app, But, it has many bugs Crashes a lot ### 2/5 — Feel cheated *2024-09-21, version 1.0.16* I thought I would get everything with a sub but I didn’t. Very unfortunate, I like what I get but not enough to sub any longer. If the other features become included with the sub I will resub thanks for your consideration. ♥️ ### 2/5 — Glitches *2024-08-24, version 1.0.16* Glitches out and you have to restart often as the sound drops. Especially if you say open another app. Then this one cuts out until it is rebooted. ### 3/5 — Needs an update *2024-07-27, version 1.0.16* The current functions work great but the sneak peek stuff needs to become fully functional, with new sneak peek stuff added. The app is looking a little stagnant. ### 2/5 — Tempo button not working *2024-07-22, version 1.0.16* Tempo button does not function Can’t use the app bummer ### 2/5 — A little disappointed *2024-04-15, version 1.0.14* After subscribing to the monthly payments for the Pro version I found out you have to pay extra for the paradidle and accents banks. These were the features that I signed up for but I can’t justify paying out an additional $30+ more for these two options. Yes you can buy everything for $100(USD) but that’s a pretty penny for us Canadians. What you get for the pro subscription is very cool and jamming along to the beats etc. is fun but that’s not enough for me to continue my subscription. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I’ve bought the app *2026-03-07, version 2.0.9* I’ve bought this app, and I have NO access to any feature, the metronome. I’m sure there’s a glitch happening. However, there’s no way of contacting anyone seems like! ### 1/5 — Не стабильно работает! *2026-02-02* Я на него подписан, но он постоянно навязывает мне подписаться на него ещё раз. Причём это навязчивое предложение нельзя просто пропустить и продолжить работу, обязательно нужно что-то выбрать, после чего все настройки метронома сбрасываются, громкость непосредственно грува зачем то уводится в ноль. ### 1/5 — Not accessible in disappointing *2025-10-10, version 2.0.8* I have heard such great things about this app, but when I downloaded it and attempted to use it, unfortunately this app is not accessible with VoiceOver on my iPhone. I only know of one accessible metronome app and unfortunately this is not one of them. ### 1/5 — Groove volume unavailable *2025-08-30* It's a great idea and the videos make you want to use it, but in the demo version I downloaded it's simply impossible to adjust the volume of the Groove (or the music, in fact). So I end up with a simple metronome like there are loads of them all over the place. I don't know whether it's a restricted or limited version. I found the interface very attractive, but not very intuitive, with various suggested tariffs from which you don't really know what to choose, as the basic version only offers tempo. I'm not going to spend hours trying to adjust the volume. Then again, my phone has the biggest screen. ### 1/5 — Past purchases invalid *2025-08-22, version 2.0.8* I’ve purchased various elements in the past for a total of around 30$ (it used to be e.g. 10 bucks for this, 10 bucks for that). Now they seem to have changed to a subscription model and I can’t access any of the functions. It’s as if I payed all that money for absolutely nothing. Restoring doesn’t work, it just throws me back to the subscription page. I used to recommend this app to my students but getting scammed in this manner is really quite bitter. Loved the app, the different options like mega diddles and accents used to be a lot of fun but I’m not paying twice. Who knows if I subscribe and then a week later you guys change your model and ask for more money?? So unfortunately, one star, no more recommendations and no more usage of the app. I guess I’m not getting my money back either. For anyone looking to buy this, the app is cool but hey who knows you might get scammed into paying multiple times for the same product. Absolutely unacceptable ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-07-29, version 1.0.16* It says the new apps are not available every time I try to get it ### 1/5 — App is like a virus!! *2023-11-27, version 1.0.9* This app is like a virus, it doesn’t want to let you out. ### 1/5 — Mr Kezelos *2023-11-21, version 1.0.8* How much is this going to cost to buy it outright? Way way too much is the answer unfortunately. ### 1/5 — Assurdo *2023-11-07, version 1.0.5* Quando ti danno il periodo di prova l’app è meravigliosa ,poi puff svanisce. Uno vuole pagare in maniera onesta ma non si capisce nulla non esistono prezzi in mostra. Poi ho pagato ma ha problemi appena vai su accent pro si chiude l’app da sola ### 1/5 — Can’t delete the app *2023-11-06, version 1.0.5* It’s stuck on my phone. Will not delete just removed from home screen will not delete. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 5/5 — BEST METRONOME *2025-09-06, version 2.0.8* Nothing to write about it! Just the PERFECT metronome ### 5/5 — Great metronome *2025-07-06* Use this for several different applications. I see the pro subscription doesn’t include all the groove libraries like I thought. You need to purchase those individually. I thought they came with the subscription. It’s still a decent app I lost my stuff again. Keeps going to week free is up but I’m a paid subscriber? **Developer response:** That's not quite right. Only the MegaDiddles and Accents Pro (the ones aimed at professional drummers and teachers) are separate purchases. All the other grooves are included in the subscription price. We're thrilled that you like MegaDiddles and Accents Pro. They both took several months to create in consultation with some of the world's A-List drummers. It's meticulous and time-consuming work involving several individuals, and it doesn't happen in a vacuum. For more information, see the FAQ section of out website. http://www.grooveclix.com/faq/#mega_accents also note that when you update the app to a new version, the free trial is enabled again. This is to give existing users a sample of the features that they may no be using. After the trial period, you will automatically revert to whatever subscription you have already enabled. Your subscription is still there, but you have a week of bonus! ### 5/5 — Extraordinary *2025-04-27, version 2.0.6* From day one, this app has changed and improved the way I study, with immediately noticeable results ### 5/5 — Best app for drum practice!! *2024-11-25, version 1.0.16* Love this app and whoever developed it think it’s such a cool concept and quite a unique product in a drumming world where there’s definitely a demand for this and nothing else really like it. Awesome!! I have one query for the developers, which is why is the app size so huge and why does it appear to keep getting bigger? At first it was around 900MB (already very large for a metronome app) but every time I check back it’s larger and now it’s at 1.9GB. Is this normal or possible to change? Would love to keep it but fear I may have to switch to an inferior app just so I can keep using my phone to text people🤷‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Excelente *2024-10-20, version 1.0.16* Impresionante ### 5/5 — Great app some minor bugs *2024-09-14* I realized the while phones time is displayed while in landscape mode, it never syncs meaning it doesn’t update to current time. I think you forgot to write a refresh rate. ### 5/5 — Great Help *2024-04-02, version 1.0.14* Best groove and click app I have ever used… Thanks guys ### 5/5 — Stupefacente! *2024-03-26, version 1.0.14* Mi sembra bellissimo! ### 5/5 — I love the app but there is a very real volume issue. *2024-02-17, version 1.0.14* I’ve been using this as my “go to” app ever since it came out. I LOVE it. Every once in awhile it would randomly be very quiet and I’d have to reconnect/reload and it would most of the time fix the issue. Now with the latest update it makes it too quiet to use anymore with no remedy. I’ve tried cranking the EQ, and of course the volumes are all the way up on both the click and groove. Hopefully they remedy it soon because I’m gonna miss it a lot in my current workflow. It might be some sort of bluetooth issue because the volume seems fine on my ipad. And yes, I’ve made sure the bluetooth speaker volume is all the way up… 2/26/24 I see that the developer responded… it definitely was NOT my phone volume for the record. I’m assuming whatever happened with the better bluetooth integration in the last update did the trick. It was the same on my phone and on my iPad. Both had terrible volume issues prior to updating each and then they both worked great. SO… being as the problem was fixed super quick after my review and that everything works great now I’ll be updating my rating. I truly LOVE the app and I’m glad to have it working for me and my students again. I’m SUPER looking forward to new grooves! I really hope they are coming soon! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
