Best ever. ### 5/5 — Perfect blend of simplicity and features, with good polish *2026-01-28, version 1.23* Metronome apps which are simple, have a good UI, and are not either full of ads or in-app purchases are surprisingly rare. Impulse checks all of these boxes. I have two modest feature requests: 1. Use different colors when flashing on downbeats depending on the color of the downbeat itself. So on a yellow downbeat the app should flash yellow, and on a white downbeat the app should flash white. 2. Add a button to quickly toggle sound on and off, without pausing the metronome. This is useful when using the flashing feature to quickly make the metronome fully visual ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-01-20, version 1.23* Simple. Everything you need, nothing you don’t. ### 5/5 — Phenomenal *2025-10-15, version 1.23* This is SUCH a great app! Works presently across the iPhone and iPad and bonus feature that I didn’t see mentioned is that a visio custom preset saved on one device suns and shows up on the other! Love the different beat sounds, simple yet intuitive layout and the way it all comes together. Great job, developer(s). This app is the 🤌 of metronome apps! Also, thankyou for making it truly free. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-08-24, version 1.23* Very useful. I just got it and I can tell it’ll be very helpful for my practicing. ### 5/5 — Super good *2025-05-25, version 1.23* Super good ### 5/5 — Simple and flexible *2025-05-16* Really great app. If it works Airplay to Mac, would be perfect. ### 5/5 — best metronome *2025-05-02, version 1.23* just so good ### 5/5 — Perfeito *2025-03-23* App perfeito ### 5/5 — Simple, Effective, Quirky *2025-03-20, version 1.23* The user interface is (small) intended for iPhone but works well enough on iPad. Very functional but you need to touch everything to find all the features. The example preset rhythms are essential to understanding how to construct new and complex rhythms. On the quirky side the Flash occurs on all beats, not just the yellow down beats; having selected a Preset rhythm changes are stored w/o warning finally the Add A Preset (that works like a copy) control is not initially obvious. But given the price is a great deal. ### 5/5 — Good Metronome *2025-03-19, version 1.23* Although this metronome might be confusing to use, it is a good one because of the subdivisions you can make. Other metronome I like is soundcorset, it’s similar but with less subdivision opportunities. ### 5/5 — Best Metronome App *2025-03-12, version 1.23* This is such an amazing tool I love using it and grooving out to the metronome when I practice, So helpful! ### 5/5 — All You Need *2025-01-03, version 1.23* Simple, functional, productive. No unnecessary complications or wild bells and whistles. I’m a polyrhythmic drummer and this thing is all I need for solid practice. ### 5/5 — Fantastic practice aid *2024-12-31, version 1.23* Recently started learning new grooves on cajon. This AP allows me to easily programme the beats and save them. My favourite feature: can set to start playing the beat as slowly as desired, then can make it increase tempo at desired intervals. Great for practicing new rhythms! Love it!👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — I love with this app. Highly recommend and very helpful for the practice *2024-11-16, version 1.23* I am so glad I ran into this app. It has been very helpful for me to practice all different rhythms , this is very unique in training free in all rhythms Including western and Indian Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Best free metronome , till it’s free 😄 *2024-11-09* App is great and free too , great customisations , thank you team ### 5/5 — Incredible *2024-06-12, version 1.23* Wildly capable AND dead easy to use AND beautiful UI AND no adverts! ### 5/5 — Nice concept! *2024-04-11, version 1.23* In a world of copy cat metronome apps, this rhythm tool stands out as easy to use and very useful. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stop asking me to review *2024-04-12, version 1.23* I just downloaded the app and have been asked to review it 3 times within the first 5 minutes. My review is stop asking me to review so I can try the thing ### 1/5 — Buggy app *2021-02-20* Have stop and clear the app everytime it goes to background when metronome is paused. Otherwise its okay ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-05-12, version 1.21* No sound. Sound never works, only like once in 10 tries. Super frustrating. Crap. ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-04-22, version 1.21* Glitching ### 1/5 — Where is the manual??? *2020-02-02, version 1.21* This thing is so unintuitive! Where is the manual and instructions? ### 2/5 — Overall nice but... *2020-07-08, version 1.21* Can’t do 15/16 or any odd time signatures. Disappointed. ### 3/5 — Needs a couple fixes *2024-03-18, version 1.23* Impulse is clever & flexible, yet simple. It has cool sounds. There are 4 hit types but I wish there was a 5th silent/rest option. There's lingering bug where one of the types won't respond to changes in the sound unless you quit and restart. Developer hasn't responded to email. ### 3/5 — Mühsam, aber umfangreich *2023-12-19* Man kann alle erdenklichen Beats programmieren, aber es ist mühsam. Ein paar „normale“ presets mit verschiedenen Sounds würde ich gut finden. ### 3/5 — Exiting *2019-12-11, version 1.21* By far my favorite met app on the platform. I’m on an iPhone XR and for some reason when I pause the metronome to do something else, when I return back and press play the met won’t work. It happens every time I do this unless I leave it playing in the background. Would love to see this bug fixed! ### 3/5 — Coole Idee, miese Sounds *2019-03-30* Macht schon Spass sich Rhythmen zu basteln. Aber diese ätzenden Sounds verderben es wieder. Ist zwar für das Geld ok, aber man könnte es besser machen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect minimalist metronome *2026-08-10, version 1.23* I use this metronome for music and working out. I love the minimalist look and that you can fully customize your rhythm. ### 5/5 — Best metronome *2026-07-02, version 1.23* Simply the most powerful and flexible metronome app I have come across. I use it to practice and teach all of my students rhythms as a drum teacher. Very helpful and intuitive! ### 5/5 — 아주 좋은 그것은 *2026-06-28* 좋다 ### 5/5 — Great tool *2026-06-23, version 1.23* Go to for me ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-06-18, version 1.23* Pretty much perfect. Metronomes don’t get much better than this ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-06-12, version 1.23* The perfect metronome to practice odd groups! ### 5/5 — very good *2026-06-10, version 1.23* very good ### 5/5 — awesome *2026-06-02, version 1.23* love it ### 5/5 — Best Metronome Ever *2026-05-31, version 1.23* I have not seen any other metronome app with such versatility in terms of mixing up different time signatures and rhythmical patterns. Kudos kudos kudos to the dev! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-05-21, version 1.23* It’s infinite ability to make variety with it is wonderful --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
