Great Visual Metronome

I love this metronome for silently keeping time. I would give the app 5 stars if the number of colors in the rainbow mode matched the number of beats per measure so that the first beat was always a designated color. Iโ€™m able to keep time to the color change while reading music, but I have difficulty noting the position of the color bands while reading music.

Great but for a couple of flaws

Would be great but for one giant flaw. While the app is running, if you accidentally swipe across the screen, for example when moving the phone, it changes the BPM to match what it thinks you tapped, with random results. I have several times started recording something and then noticed that the app's tempo was way off from what I had set. This could be easily fixed by adding a 'lock tempo' option but right now there's now way to lock in the BPM. This happens to me pretty much whenever I use the app. Also a minor flaw: the font used to tell you what BPM it's been set to is very very small. But this is the one piece of information a user will need to see without having to get up close to the phone!

Favorite metronome app!

Lots of metronome apps out there but this one is tops for me. The author is very responsive to user feedback, always trying to make improvements based on user input. Get it!

Nice but lacks basic steady rhythm.

It's a very simple to use app with nice features. Nothing fancy, just exactly what you need. Swing beat, increasing or decreasing tempo are nice and humanize feature is cool. But there seem to be a bug so even if I put humanize to off, the metronome doesn't play a straight rhythm. It's still usable but really annoying. If that was fixed I'd put a 5 star rating.

Perfect

Except for one little request... Can you add a "silent" sound for the beat (for when I forget to mute phone?) This app is awesome for psychoeducational testing when counting seconds must be precise. I can see the colors out of the corner of my eye. Perfect! Best visual metronome out there. Thanks!
