But after a while, I need something to help with marching and striking when I ended. I don’t think any other app does that type of count down. Also to customize it different counts works great. ### 3/5 — Ok, but limited sound options *2024-10-18, version 1.19* Rhythm and time signature options are very well done. I find the 3 sounds for beat options that are available are hard on the ears, especially when using ear-buds. Especially the “cow bell”. You desperately need a base drum and snare option! ### 3/5 — Ok *2024-06-30* Good metronome. Way too expensive for what you get. Needs bigger selection of sounds. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2024-05-22, version 1.19* This is a very useful tool. I see mostly positives in its use. Being able to have a metronome automatically change tempos is a boon. My only problem with it is that Premium is far too expensive. $29.99 CAD for some extra features (and not get interrupted occasionally with a popup mid tune) is too much money. I just don’t see the value in that. ### 4/5 — Sehr Gutes Metronom *2024-01-24* Läßt kaum Wünsche offen, eine automatische Steigerung der Geschwindigkeit nach x Takten wäre super ### 5/5 — Jori is the man! *2023-11-22, version 1.19* Awesome metronome! ### 5/5 — Pipers Metronome *2023-10-16, version 1.19* If you love using the Braw tuner for tuning your bagpipes. You will love the Pipers Metronome for your practice sessions. Weather you are just working on your embellishments or your solo or band sets. It has something for everyone. ### 5/5 — Pipers Metronome *2023-08-31, version 1.19* Excellent app I recommend to any pipers! ### 5/5 — Yay Accessibility! *2023-08-19, version 1.19* I went to practice today and was sad when the beta wouldn't open but then I realized that it's because the accessibility changes we made during the beta phase are now live! So I'm really excited to share with other bagpipe students or pipers that either have a little bit of vision or no vision at all that this app now works with VoiceOver on all Apple devices, including my iPad! Thank you guys for being so responsive and willing to help me make this app even better ### 5/5 — Pipers Metronome *2023-05-17, version 1.16* A metronome for pipers by a piper! My companion for all my practice sessions. The pulsing feature for strathspeys has been very helpful. ### 5/5 — Good times *2023-04-12, version 1.15* This metronome works for me ### 5/5 — Useful for Drummers Too! *2023-03-23* Love being able to subdivide individual bars to maintain feel through tricky passages. Also being able to program tune breaks is a game changer! Love this app. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-03-09, version 1.15* Thank you for developing this app! It is helpful for a rhythmicly challenged piper. ### 5/5 — A super helpful app *2023-01-15, version 1.15* This is a great metronome for pipers. Our pipes are so loud that we can’t hear metronome clicks. The visual aspect makes it easier to anticipate that the beats are coming. Using this app has improved my practicing and my piping a lot. ### 5/5 — If you don’t have this app you can just get out right now…. *2022-09-26, version 1.15* My favorite goodie of this app is being able to share saved sets with other users. ### 5/5 — So cool! *2022-05-21, version 1.13* Wow and wow! So many features to explore.. I am just getting started. I haven’t figured out how to rearrange the tunes in a set yet so I had to delete a couple of tunes and re-enter. Hopefully, there is another way. I like that you can change details at the bar level. ### 5/5 — Pipers Metronome *2022-04-16, version 1.13* A metronome for pipers by a piper! My companion for all my practice sessions. The pulsing feature for strathspeys has been very helpful. ### 5/5 — Functionality *2021-12-27, version 1.13* So many relevant features integrated into this metronome, easy to use and program. ### 5/5 — Great metronome app *2021-11-24, version 1.13* Perfect for bagpipes. Tempo supports that so it’s in the realm of software. Well worth paying for the full upgrade. The only feature I wish for is to remote control it from the Apple Watch. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Must create account to try *2021-08-31, version 1.13* You have to give email address, and create account before even trying it. ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-03-28* Unable to enter the app. No response from service. ??! **Developer response:** Hi - sorry for the trouble. If you email us at support@brawsound.com we will be happy to help you. ### 1/5 — Recent update *2020-05-03, version 1.10* The recent update (April 2020) has added a pop up notice that appears 2/3 through a set, stopping the metronome completely. Nothing in the version update communication to warn or explain this change. ### 1/5 — Bug *2019-11-14, version 1.06* I have never received the e-mail that should allow me to install the app. Crap. ### 1/5 — An email? Really? *2019-09-29, version 1.06* Nothing more to say... ### 1/5 — Can't use without creating an account. *2019-09-23, version 1.06* I have to create an account before I can even try it? No thanks. I want clicks not emails. And there's a $20 in-app purchase. For what? The description doesn't tell me so I guess I can't find out unless I create an account. Which I won't do. If you read the privacy policy, creating an account also automatically opts you into advertising, and the app shares you location data with the developers. The latter seems odd & unnecessary for a metronome ### 1/5 — Requires account. *2019-08-13, version 1.04* It requires an account to use. I’m not going to sign-up for an account to use a metronome! I’ll pay for the app, yes. Sign-up, no. ### 2/5 — Not Impressed *2021-10-03, version 1.13* Metronome functions as I would expect however the FLASH ON BEAT and VIBRATE ON BEAT does not work on my iPhone 11 Pro Max running iOS 15. More importantly I’ve sent several messages to tech support and heard nothing. ### 2/5 — Requires an email to start the app *2021-03-27, version 1.12* Come on, in this age of security and tracking concerns you require my email to even allow the app to start? No thank you. ### 3/5 — Beware - inaccurate BPM *2025-05-31, version 1.19* I like the features generally but the major issue is the BPM tick is not accurate. You can test this yourself by setting this metronome alongside a different one, set them both to 60bpm, and start them at the exact same time. After a few moments you'll notice the clicks will drift apart from each other, then reconverge, then drift, repeat. You can also compare the tick to a digital clock with a seconds counter, at 60bpm this app drifts pretty severely. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best metronome for bag pipes *2026-08-22, version 1.19* Love that it has all the bag pipe cadences and the ability to make sets. ### 5/5 — Spot On! *2026-08-06, version 1.19* Tests prove extreme accuracy. ### 5/5 — Vital Tool for Pipers *2026-06-28, version 1.19* This metronome and its various settings have added clarity and cleanliness to my playing and helped with expression by being able to break down beats sub beats with accents by tune type. The visual cues make it easier to place notes and embellishments where they need to be in rhythm and I can use Bluetooth to connect to a large speaker for when I’m on pipes. Highly recommended for all ability levels! Well done! ### 5/5 — Perfect for bagpipers and pipe bands *2026-05-25, version 1.19* This app provides rhythms for all types of bagpipe tunes. It is a “staple” in our band and for me as a solo piper. ### 5/5 — Brilliant for Solo & Band *2025-11-18, version 1.19* This App is really proving to be one of the best tools ever for keeping my band on track during these days of on-line only band practice. Perfect tool also for preparing for the on-line solo competition. Mahalo! 🌺🌺🌺 ### 5/5 — Great!! *2025-07-18, version 1.19* I really like this metronome. The only thing I would like more is to have some drum sounds for the metronome. A nice base drum and some snare would just be the icing on the cake. ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2025-07-07, version 1.19* I’ve found the Pipers Metronome to be a great aid to learning new tunes and expressing note combinations precisely. I’m recommending it to all of my friends. ### 5/5 — Love it! Use it every day *2025-03-12, version 1.19* This is a brilliant app. So helpful. Much better than a basic metronome, with tune types and rhythms built in. Can even create and save custom settings for anything, including Medleys ### 5/5 — Great Features to Take Your Piping to the Next Level *2024-04-14, version 1.19* I am really enjoying the features, particularly the pulse options. Coming from more traditional music one of my biggest challenges has been the unique timing of the dot cuts in bagpipe music. Being able to set the metronome to the type of song I am playing and being able to adjust the types of pulses to help me get the exact timing of the dot cut is helping me prepare for my first competition and take my piping to that next level. ### 5/5 — Way more than a metronome! *2024-01-12, version 1.19* Jori Chisholm has made a quantum leap with the invention of this metronome. It is far more than that. This is a tempo pulsed auditory tutor for our unique bagpipe music. Hours of live based instruction would not replace this Grade one instruction you can hold in your hand. It is an extraordinary device! Thank you Jori! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
