It would also be better if it kept playing while recording in voice memos. Please add these features if possible. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect metronome! *2025-07-09* I love the visuals, the iPod-like knob to set the tempo, and how you can set the metronome by tapping a beat, etc.! The app would be perfect if: 1) The tempo knob had haptic clicks; 2) The # of taps to set the tempo reflected the time signature, e.g. only needing to tap three times for a 3/4 time signature, rather than always having to tap four times; 3) Please consider allowing us to tap on the time signature sliders to set a number, and 4) Allow us to tap anywhere outside the Time Signature/Subdivision/Accent window to close it, rather than just the “X”, e.g. the time signature or window. ### 4/5 — Schön *2025-06-10* Ich mag die App sehr, dass sie mir viel beim üben meines Instrumentes hilft, aber ich finde es blöd, dass der Ton öfters recht klingt und man das auch nicht anders einstellen kann. Aber mir gefällt auch, dass man die Betonungen setzen kann, dass man die Taktart bestimmen kann und die Notenlänge. Also an sich eine schöne App, aber der Klang könnte noch verbessern werden.… ### 4/5 — Abstürze *2025-04-05* Top App, leider hatte ich heute bei 30 Minuten Nutzung 4 Abstürze ### 4/5 — Simple app *2024-11-23* Simple easy to use with no ads, but does promote the pro version a lot ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2024-11-21* I think it’s a good app ### 4/5 — Is ok *2024-11-10* It is good, but if you don’t have the pro version, it’s not as fun because you can’t use it while listening to another song. Also without a lot of features aren’t able to use. ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2024-09-24* It’s all fun and games until it’s time to set the stage. ### 5/5 — Does the job *2024-08-18* As above ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-08-03* Best metronome app out the market, I do wish you could make a one time purchase instead of a subscription to unlock all features as I would gladly pay that, I always wish you could at least have a free monochromatic theme as the rainbow is a bit of an eyesore and doesn’t really fit in. Other wise great app! **Developer response:** Hey there, thank you for the review! We’re happy to let you know that we offer a lifetime plan as an alternative. ### 5/5 — The UI blew my mind *2024-06-13* Yeah and the app is usable ### 5/5 — Great sound! *2024-06-05* I would listen to it as study music. Somehow, this metronome is very satisfying! The layout is simple and aesthetic. ### 3/5 — First metronome *2024-05-29* It helps for my exam ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pas pratique *2024-10-09* Pas pratique ni ergonomique ### 1/5 — Totale Datenkrake *2024-03-07* Kaufe mir mir lieber ein echtes Metronom als so eine „Datenkrake“ zu installieren. Wollte eigentlich eine längere Rezession schreiben. Aber meine Zeit ist mir dazu zu kostbar. ### 1/5 — Subscriptions!? Seriously!? *2023-11-10* Can somebody please explain to me why a metronome app has a monthly cost? I really don’t understand it. It’s a very simple tool and I really can’t think of a reason other than “more profits.” Are the developement costs really that high?? Why on earth should I pay hundreds of dollars for a good app to use for a few years? **Developer response:** Hey there, thank you for your feedback. We understand that subscriptions may not be everyone’s preference. While they play a crucial role in supporting ongoing development for new features and ensuring compatibility with the latest iOS versions, we also offer a lifetime plan for users who prefer a one-time purchase. Your consideration would mean a lot, and we hope for an updated review. ### 2/5 — Too complex *2026-04-13* They have taken something as simple as a metronome and created an app that is so complex it takes a half hour just for set up. My time is at a premium and i cannot afford to waste it. Especially since once i got it up and running it was quite lackluster and complicated experience. When I’m performing i need my equipment to be seamless and to add to my performance, not add one more layer of complication to it. Would not waste my $ on this app. ### 2/5 — Review *2026-04-13* It is good ### 2/5 — Some pros and cons *2026-03-06* Con: - Doesn’t work in Background - Asks constantly to pay - Tap needs to be tapped 4 times - Pay for functions Pro: - Goes down to 10bpm - Light weight, like 3mb - Says it doesn’t collect data ### 2/5 — Nom des vitesses *2024-09-11* Les vitesses (adagio, lento, etc.) n’apparaissent pas et ne sont donc pas un critère de choix. C’est pourtant sur ces indications, qui sont écrites sur une partition, que l’on doit se régler. ### 2/5 — Weird Default Tone *2023-08-07* App is well designed & easy to use, but the default tone is very low and bassy — impossible to hear over your instrument. If you want to change the tone, you have to pay. I would definitely pay a one-time fee to upgrade but I’m not paying a subscription for a “metronome as a service” lol ### 3/5 — Kosten *2026-07-06* Ich finde das man für viele Features zu viel zahlen muss ### 3/5 — Pas mal *2024-06-17* Vraiment dommage que plusieurs langues ne soit pas dispo ( notamment le français) et surtout que tout soit payant ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best metronome app on iOS *2026-07-25* This is the best, aesthetically pleasing and intuitive metronome app i’ve seen! Hope you continue updating this to its fullest potential! ### 5/5 — It works *2026-06-16* It works ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-05-21* I love the simplicity and design of the app. I would love for it to have bigger numbers when changing the key signatures or have a stronger feedback when rotating the wheel, but these are nitpicks on an app that feels refreshing and intuitive! Love it (: ### 5/5 — Schön und funktional *2026-03-27* Die App ist wirklich sehr geschmackvoll gestaltet. Kaum etwas in dem Bereich gesehen, das da annähernd herankommt. Die Navigation zwischen Songs und Setlist ist etwas umständlich, aber an sich ein sehr wertvolles Feature. Für mich wäre es noch sehr praktisch, wenn es auch einen Silent-Modus gäbe, bei dem das Tempo visuell angezeigt wird - d.h. auch in der Setlist/Song Ansicht und mit einer Ton aus Option. Eine tolle Sache, die aber wahrscheinlich recht schwierig zu implementieren ist, wäre so eine Art Shazam für Tempo. Sprich, dass das Tempo von gespielter Musik erkannt wird. ### 5/5 — My Thoughts *2026-03-25* I think this metronome app is great because it allows me to play along to along to the metronome and it gives the option of different speeds. ### 5/5 — Life saver *2026-02-06* this app saved my life. before i was suicidal and hated everything ### 5/5 — Great metronome app *2026-01-24* Easy to use and delightfully designed! Use it daily ### 5/5 — it’s fine *2026-01-21* It’s a great Metronome for 20 bucks. I can own it for life. ### 5/5 — awesomesauce *2025-10-10* no purchases needed, no ads, easy ui, yaaay ^_^ ### 5/5 — Good App! *2025-03-24* Only downside… it is hard to hear if you play trumpet. Should Not be a problem with most other instruments. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
