### 4/5 — Love this - only a few improvements

*2025-01-06*

This is exactly what I wanted. A metronome, a tuner, and a drum machine all in a simple box. Is that too much to ask? Apparently. Excellent. This is my go-to music app.

Two notes:
1. It appears that when I go from the tuner back to the drum loop or metronome the audio cuts out. I need to close the app and reload. Works then.

2. Allow the phone to be locked and continue playing the audio. Currently locking the phone kills the audio.

3. Some of the settings reset after closing the app like the “loop in” feature under the jam buddy.

Wonderful work!

### 5/5 — For time sack

*2023-01-01*

Could you please add a little more time signatures

**Developer response:** Hi,
It is possible to create your own time signatures. Take a look at section "How to add a new metronome track" on https://sites.google.com/view/groovymetronome/how-to 
Here you can "script" your own signatures. For instance 7/8 could be scripted as 3 + 2 + 2, or 2 + 2 + 3, or 2 + 3 + 2, depending on where you want to have your heavy beats. You can also add scripts that cover more than one measure, for instance 3 + 3 | 2 + 2 + 2 would give rhythms that feel like the song "America" from West Side Story.
