I usually use the “Newzik” app for my met but it didn’t have a swing beat. I found this one thinking I’d have a good metronome but it was useless. Would not recommend if you already have a simple metronome ### 2/5 — The subscription 🫩 *2026-06-03* Its okay for exercises but you have to pay for the way better features which is fair its a decent app but i cancelled my free trial now its saying i have to pay $30 to renew when i only wanted to try it out don’t do the free trial unless you’re going to pay for the full thing **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you found the app useful for practice. Subscriptions help support continued development of advanced features, but we understand it may not be the right fit for everyone. The 7-day trial provides full access to all premium features. After it expires, you can still use the basic free version of the app with limited functionality. If a yearly plan is not needed, a lower-cost monthly option is also available. ### 3/5 — Ok *2026-02-24* Nice ### 2/5 — It’s meh *2025-11-21* It works but almost every feature needs premium and it practically shoves it in your face when you start the metronome every once in a while. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience. Some advanced features are part of the paid version, so subscription prompts may appear during use. We understand that this can feel intrusive, which is why basic tempo and time signature controls remain available in the free version. ### 3/5 — Different beat values *2025-08-05* I don’t want to pay for sixteenth notes ### 4/5 — I can't do anything *2025-05-07* I try ### 4/5 — It was good *2025-03-17* It was good but it would be even MORE better if you would add stuff like add laghu and dhutam like title it and make more thalams that’s how u would make it even MORE interesting , fun and better ### 1/5 — Price is a little high *2025-01-23* Subscription based for what it is, is kinda outrageous and for what it is and for that should be a one time payment of the 35 bucks not 35 bucks a year kinda dumb ### 3/5 — Smoke detector *2025-01-01* I don’t want a smoke detector sound as a metronome make it a regular click ### 1/5 — Rip off *2024-11-12* This is a scam app **Developer response:** Hi there! 😊 Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I'm sorry to hear that you feel this way about the app. Our goal is to provide a high-quality experience for all users, and we’d love the chance to address any concerns you have.

It’s eight bucks a month to to find out that it doesn’t do what you need. *2026-06-03* Don’t bother. Stay away. **Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear the app didn’t meet your expectations. We offer a 7-day free trial with full access to all features so users can evaluate whether the product fits their needs before subscribing. Subscription terms are clearly shown in the App Store before purchase. Thank you for your feedback — we’d be happy if you decide to give the app another try in the future. ### 1/5 — Changed the app and it’s useless now *2026-04-18* I use this app for my vestibular physical therapy exercises. It was perfect. Then I opened it today and it’s changed so that I can’t set it for only a minute. Now I have to use a separate timer to know when to stop. Hey! It wasn’t broke and you “fixed” it! ### 1/5 — Hefty price hidden at download *2025-09-07* I haven’t tried the product. I was put off by the nearly £25 price which isn’t identified up front. I can’t find the cancel anytime option either so I will contest the hefty expense should it show up. So disappointed as it looked really good. Put one star, but for me it’s less than that! **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Pricing and billing details are shown before confirmation, and charges only occur after user approval. Subscriptions can be managed or canceled at any time through App Store account settings. If you decide to try the app, the free version remains available with basic tempo control and time signature selection. ### 1/5 — Features hidden behind yearly subscription. Sound is distorted. Playlist feature not implemented *2025-07-30* Playlist feature is not implemented yet like suggested in screenshots. Custom sounds are hidden behind pro subscription. Default metronome sound is reallllllllllly annoying and sounds distorted and compressed. Cannot change sound without a pro subscription. Don’t even try this app. ### 1/5 — Scammy subscription! *2025-07-21* It secretly charges you $4.99 per week. Very scammy ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-06-30* Immediately wants you to pay to use app ### 1/5 — Not free *2025-06-29* Couldn’t tell you how this app works. It asked for a review before starting. You have to pay to even start. You can get a free trial and hope to remember to cancel. Don’t download unless you want to pay. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2025-06-25* Even if it’s only $25 a year (for now) the idea of subscribing for a metronome is insane to me. ### 1/5 — Waste of space *2025-01-25* Don’t bother with the free version. It’s a waste of time. There is no play/start button. You can only set the speed then go buy the upgrade. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Changed the app and it’s useless now *2026-06-13* I use this app for my vestibular physical therapy exercises. It was perfect. Then I opened it today and it’s changed so that I can’t set it for only a minute. Now I have to use a separate timer to know when to stop. Hey! It wasn’t broke and you “fixed” it! Amend: got a lovely response from the developer and am pleased. Changed my rating. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the frustration this caused. We’ve fixed the issue with the timer, and it should now work as expected again, including the ability to set short durations like 1 minute. If you still experience any problems, please let us know so we can help. ### 5/5 — A beautiful, looking app *2025-07-07* Nice, very clean layout, simple, and functional ### 5/5 — Simple *2025-06-24* Simple ### 5/5 — You Goat *2025-06-04* You Goat ### 5/5 — Ultimate dope!!! *2025-05-31* 🫨 ### 5/5 — ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 *2025-05-15* good ### 5/5 — 굿 *2025-05-11* 좋음 ### 5/5 — metronome *2024-08-11* I just started learning guitar while my piano is temporarily in storage.
