## What is Metronome?

Tempo, the premier metronome app for iOS is now available as this free Lite version. Tempo was featured as "New and Noteworthy" and "Staff Favorite" by Apple on the main iTunes landing page. Now you can enjoy Tempo's core features before upgrading to its full suite of features. 

Tempo Lite's engine is written from the ground up for high accuracy and stability. It keeps going even in device lock mode, making it a useful aid for live drumming. 

As a special treat, we've included the Tracker Module which helps in your practices by tracking the number of bars or time played. 

As opposed to purchasing Tempo, upgrading Tempo Lite nets you a dark colour scheme for the flipside views  (instead of light).

### 5/5 — Got everything a metronome needs

*2026-08-19, version 5.1.1*

And It’s Free!!!

### 5/5 — Does what I need it to

*2026-08-06, version 5.1.1*

Really helps my practice, with several different styles for the metronome, the option to count in and to count bars. I set it to 20 bars to keep myself to task and not wimp out early.

### 1/5 — iPhone Airで表示崩れが放置されています - Layout issue on iPhone Air remains unfixed

*2026-07-31*

iPhone Airの画面サイズでのみ、アプリ全体の表示が左上に寄ってしまい、右側と下側に大きな余白が出ます。

画面サイズに正しくフィットしておらず、通常の使用にかなり支障があります。

この問題について開発者に連絡してから1ヶ月以上経ちましたが、現時点でも改善されていません。特定端末での表示不具合とはいえ、基本的なレイアウト対応の問題なので、早急に修正してほしいです。

On the iPhone Air screen size, the entire app interface is shifted toward the upper-left corner, leaving a large blank area on the right side and at the bottom.

The layout does not properly fit the screen, which makes the app difficult to use normally.

I reported this issue to the developer over a month ago, but it has still not been fixed. Even if this only affects a specific device size, it is a basic layout compatibility issue and should be addressed as soon as possible.

### 4/5 — Presque parfait (manque une fonction random)

*2026-07-28*

L’application est très bien faite. Ceci étant c’est vraiment dommage qu’il n’y ait pas une fonction random qui permet de faire disparaître la pulsation de temps à autre de manière aléatoire ! Il n’y a pas moyen de contacter le support, c’est pourquoi j’écris cette réflexion ici.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-26, version 5.1.1*

Terrible and buggy. Why, why????

### 4/5 — Anonymous

*2026-07-26, version 5.1.1*

The app is amazing just wish you could do Split View.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-25, version 5.1.1*

Best free met just simple enough

### 5/5 — Ótimo

*2026-07-11*

Ótimo app!

### 5/5 — Tempo

*2026-07-09, version 5.1*

The app is really good and efficient but if you could have more colour options for the ‘theme’ section this would make it even better. Additionally, you could make the sound louder as it is sometimes difficult to hear even with a quiet instrument like a viola. Altogether it’s a great app with a large tempo range and I would highly recommend it to any musician.

### 5/5 — 兎に角使い易いです。

*2026-07-08*

重宝しています、使いやすいです。 ありがとうございます。 ⭕️演奏曲リストが作れるので、実用的です‼️
