### 4/5 — Convenient and easy-to-use!

*2014-09-06, version 8.2*

Metronome Plus meets all my practicing needs as a piano grad student. It's easy and fast to change tempos and a variety of rhythm patterns and beat groupings are available. My favorite feature is the personalized preset tempos that enable me to jump back and forth between tempos with one click. The recording tool is nice, but playback is difficult because you can't move around in the track; you have to play it from the beginning each time. The tempos go all the way down to 30 bpm, but I wish they went to 20 (slow movement of Ghost trio is about quarter = 26). Also, it would be nice if I could use the tapping feature while listening to music in another app to discern tempo, but Metronome Plus turns off any other music when you open it.

### 4/5 — Great Metronome

*2013-07-20, version 7.4*

Solid metronome app with features most of the others don't have.  No problems so far, although battery life could be better!

### 5/5 — Great metronome on the go

*2013-06-25, version 7.2*

I use this whenever I'm not at home.

### 5/5 — M

*2013-06-23*

Very good app. Triplet setting is great for triplet practice.

### 4/5 — Perfect but could use more volume

*2013-06-08*

The metronome and all the features are great, for solo practicing it is perfect. Just don't play too loud! I've heard how loud my iPhone speakers can go, and this metronome could use a little more volume: not convenient for group practicing. Great app otherwise

### 5/5 — Lowtone

*2013-05-23, version 7.1*

Great tool

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2013-04-17, version 7.1*

This app is dispensable.  I use it to practice and teach.  The designer/tech support is fantastic.  Bugs are fixed ASAP.  I love this app.

### 5/5 — Much better

*2013-04-04, version 7.1*

The update caused the tempo to be off but it was fixed quickly and is now correct

### 5/5 — Great practice tool

*2013-03-30, version 7.0*

I have really enjoyed using the Metronome Plus in my own practicing as well as using it with teaching my students. It is easy to understand, and great for going from practice/warm-up session to music rehearsal thanks to the tempo presets. I encourage all of my students with iOS to get it!

### 5/5 — Too cool

*2013-03-16, version 6.0*

This is a great app. For free!!!

### 1/5 — No thanks

*2015-09-10, version 8.5.1*

Everything you want it to do it does not and everything it does do, it does with a high degree of complications. No thanks

### 1/5 — Great App, but what happened?

*2013-06-03, version 7.1*

This was a rock star app, but after the update, the metronome is off.

### 1/5 — Help!

*2013-04-02, version 7.0*

I really like this app and I have used it a lot but the new update ruined the metronome.  The beat is so erratic it's unusable.

### 1/5 — What happened

*2013-03-30, version 7.0*

The new version is just awful. I don't know if it's my phone or the app but the tempo fluctuates A LOT and the subdivisions are way off. It just stumbles way too much and never has a steady beat. Deleting this app for a better one.

### 2/5 — Great for a week

*2016-01-19, version 8.7*

It worked nicely at a rehearsal and a gig and now it is frozen and won't open. The developer should make his email address available.

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2013-06-25, version 7.2*

Goes awry on my iPhone. ( and yes it's 
Latest version of iPhone 5) I thought that it would do metronoe AND drone but according to the programmer you have to have a good version of the iPad.

### 3/5 — Awesomely Easy to Use

*2013-06-24, version 7.2*

...however it was marred by the erratic first beat in the playlist.

### 4/5 — Nearly perfect

*2021-04-05*

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.

### 4/5 — Record feature

*2020-05-25, version 8.7*

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

### 4/5 — Just what I need!  But....

*2015-09-02, version 8.5.1*

Love the app, I duel wield and use a drone on my iPad while my phone has the metronome ticking.  What I would love is if the app could play the metronome at the same time as a drone so I didn't have to use two devices!  Is this possible?  Do we have the technology?!

### 5/5 — Time signature?

*2023-06-11*

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

### 5/5 — Ohio gardener

*2019-11-22, version 8.7*

Robust, nimble and versatile, very handy,

### 5/5 — Trustworthy

*2018-12-03, version 8.7*

I’ve used this app for years.  As a professional musician, I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Metronome+Plus

*2014-05-22, version 7.5*

Great app.Very pleased!!!!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2014-01-02, version 7.5*

This metronome is great! Better than my other dedicated metronomes (now in the drawer). Thanks.

### 5/5 — Most used tool!

*2013-09-18, version 7.5*

I use this app everyday. It is the app I use most on my ipad and iPhone.

### 5/5 — Great Metronome!

*2013-08-26, version 7.5*

Awesome app! I use it everyday!

### 5/5 — Improved with bug fix

*2013-07-20, version 7.4*

I haven't fully tested the latest version but the big issue in the previous version that caused the metronome to produce irregular rhythms appears to have been eliminated. If that is in fact 100% gone, then this is a great metronome. Good range of tempos and single and multiple beat patterns for any tempo make it very useful and helpful.

### 5/5 — Excellent metronome!

*2013-07-17, version 7.4*

Easy to operate and change. Features clearly indicated and one doesn't need a degree in rocket science to figure out.  Should be great for those in major music industry for recording and having certain tempos at their immediate hand. Money well-spent.

### 5/5 — Great service/ great recorder

*2013-07-06, version 7.3*

Wow!!!  Couldn't believe how quickly Gil got back to me and tried to help me solve my problem after downloading the new update. Turns out it wasn't a problem at his end, but at mine. 
And I absolutely love the updates on the recorder. I had only used the other one once and liked it, but the new one has a pause, volume indicator, & multiple recording save capability. I immediately sent a practice recording to my Uke trio. So easy!!! And I can't wait to record my steel sessions so that I can practice at home more effectively. Of course changing tempo, pattern, muting, etc. as always, is simple!
Thanks Gil for your passion to perfection and simplicity!
