## What is Poly Metronome?

Poly Metronome is a precise, modern practice tool for musicians who want more than just a click. Build complex rhythms with multi-voice polyrhythms, per-beat accents, and custom subdivision patterns, then save them as presets or setlists — or drill them with Coach and Automator.

A completely redesigned interface gives you a clean, modern look that scales from iPhone to iPad in portrait and landscape, with a live pulse ring that shows every voice and accent at a glance.

FREE FEATURES
• Studio-grade timing engine, 1–800 BPM
• Ad-free interface, dark / light / system theme
• 18 built-in sound banks (10 metronome + 8 polyrhythm)
• Tap tempo, manual BPM entry
• Vibration + LED flash sync (iPhone)
• Pedal / Bluetooth keyboard remote control

PRO FEATURES
• Up to 5 simultaneous polyrhythm voices, each with its own sound bank, color, accents, and pattern
• 16 built-in rhythm patterns + custom pattern editor with real musical notation
• Per-pulse accent editor (silence / piano / mezzo / beat)
• Per-beat rhythm patterns: assign a different subdivision to each click — mix quarters, eighths, triplets, and sixteenths within a single bar
• Count-in: audible countdown before every playback so you're always on time
• Setlists: queue songs in any order, each with its own tempo, meter, and voice mix — auto-advance switches bar-aligned on the downbeat
• Coach Trainer: Circle or Random mute bars to test your inner timing
• Automator: gradual tempo climb by bar count or seconds, with start / stop bounds
• Per-voice volume, mute, custom name
• iCloud sync: presets and setlists stay up to date across all your devices automatically

Ideal for drummers, guitarists, pianists, singers, dancers, and any musician serious about timing.

### 1/5 — Hard to practice

*2026-06-19*

I think it’s ok when single beat, however, It’s too hard to hear each beats when multi beats on. Not recommend to anyone who wanna practice polyrhythm by this app.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks so much for the feedback — you're right that polyrhythms blur together when every voice shares the same sound. Good news: you can fix this right now in the version you have. Open the Voices sheet, tap each voice, and pick a different Sound Bank for each one (e.g. Woodblock for the primary + Poly Classic and Poly Ch Click for the others). Each layer then has its own timbre and stays clearly audible. The Mix section in the same screen also lets you tweak per-voice volume or mute a voice while you focus on another.

In the next update (5.2), this becomes the default: a new voice automatically picks a sound bank that isn't already in use, and a short tip points out the trick the first time you add a second voice — so the polyrhythm reads clearly without any tweaking.

### 1/5 — Literally not accurate

*2026-03-27*

Beats lag, stops when you change anything, can't keep a steady tempo. Worthless for a metronome

### 1/5 — リズムが揃っていません

*2026-01-16*

リズムが全く揃いません。BPMを速く設定すると起こるのではなく、そもそもが揃っていない欠陥品です。日本語を読めるのであれば、速やかに修正してください。

### 1/5 — The feedback keep bugging me

*2025-12-21*

Bruh

### 2/5 — Pulsation

*2025-05-29*

Très jolie application. Malheureusement la pulsation n’est pas régulière. C’est fâcheux…et je n’ai pas trouvé le moyen de résoudre le problème.

### 5/5 — Excellent but:

*2025-05-27*

Being able to save different presets would be mesmerizing! Thanks for your great work.

### 1/5 — Sound Not Working 😩

*2025-03-24*

Just downloaded the app and was referring a student to it..alas no sound 🎬😢

Deleting

### 1/5 — メトロノームなのにリズムが、、、。

*2025-03-08*

リズムが均等ではありません。

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2025-02-11*

Just top for my needs. Improvement I’ d appreciate: save different sessions more easily for each type of ecxercice or piece. Every time I have a phone call the metronome goes mute and I need to restart it

### 1/5 — Terrible!!

*2025-01-23*

This app is useless for practice because a pop up window asking you to upgrade to paid version keeps appearing every 10 seconds or so.
