Dependable, consistent and great service

5 stars

I have used this app for years and wrote a negative review when a recent upgrade tied the metronome app to my phone’s display and brightness settings, causing the metronome to “sleep” after a few minutes. I tossed my review off thinking that it would disappear into cyberspace and that I complaining into a vacuum.

Amazingly, the developer responded to my complaint within 24 hours! When does that ever happen? Within 48 hours, the bug was fixed.

Yes, I’ve used this app for over a decade, with my own practice, in my teaching studio and when I conduct workshops. Highly dependable, and indispensable for the working musician.

Update: I’m glad we got it resolved. Thank you. New version has been out for several days and I think you’ll find it fixes your issues. If so, please update your review. More improvements coming. Let me know if you have suggestions for future updates.

The Upgrade is a Fsil

I have used Metronome Plus for years with no problems. Always could rely on Metronome Plus to be my consistent and faithful practice companion.

This week I was “upgraded” without my knowledge or consent. The new version is horrible. It turns off after 3 minutes-hey guys- the whole point of a metronome is to be able to PRACTICE with it! And guess what, sometimes that lasts longer than three minutes.

Do not recommend.

Time signature?

Is there a way to set a 7/8 or 12/8 time ? Or 15/16?

Response from developer

Hi. Been away and only recently began updating the app. To your question, 12/8 could be 4 bpm with triplet subdivision. 7/8 could be 7bpm and quarter note. Just set the tempo to quarter note. If dotted-quarter = 100, then set the tempo to 100, select 7 beats per measure and select triplets as your subdivision. If it’s eighth note = 120, then set it to 40bpm and the triplet will be at 120.

Nearly perfect

This is nearly the perfect metronome. In my view the only thing it lacks is a timer feature. I get irritated having to go outside the app to set the timer for each practice exercise.

Check out Practice Center 2.0. Currently just for iPad, but coming soon for the iPhone.

Record feature

I like all the features but would like to have the option to record with the taps.
PFPlays Too Fast

Response from developer

Check out the latest update (just out). You can record while the metronome is playing and also while the drones are playing.
