### 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.

### 1/5 — Scam app

*2023-09-08*

The title would allow you to infer that the main feature of the app is the polyrhythm function, when there is no such thing built in. Scam.

**Developer response:** Dear Hwsocuddusinx,

Thank you for your feedback. To use polyrhythms please use  the “Time Signature” button at the bottom-right corner (default: 4/4) and switch on the “Polyrhythm”. If you have further questions about the app, please contact us.

### 1/5 — Not even metronome!!!

*2023-02-02*

I just downloaded the free version of this metronome.
It’s looks nice with great functionality but the beats within the bar are not even.
I wanted to contact the developer first but the contact links to facebook and I don’t use it.
Hope it’s get fix.

### 1/5 — Not worth five bucks

*2023-01-29*

Got to mess around with polyrhythms. Looked like it would do what I wanted but went to purchase screen after a couple secs on polyrhythm play.  Foolishly purchased just to get on with it.

Turns out it hangs on the m2 pro with some rhythms. Also the tempo is a lie, there's no independent volume control for the different rhythms.  To change a rhythm sound it stops the playback.  Tempo is press +- a bunch or type in.  On tap tempo etc etc etc. 

Looks nice but I is terrible once you scratch the surface.

### 1/5 — booo

*2022-09-24*

an add for the pro version pops up every five seconds and makes it almost impossible to acc use the app

### 1/5 — WHY

*2021-12-05*

So if I don’t buy the pro version it’s gonna stop the metronome at 4 VERY SHORT bars and throw an ad in my face about buying the pro version???!?

### 1/5 — Sound Stops Working

*2021-08-07*

The sound rarely works. Whenever it stops working, I have to delete the app and then reinstall it to get it to work. Waste of money.

### 2/5 — Uneven performance

*2021-06-10*

Have trouble getting it to play. Have had to restart the app multiple times to get it to work.

### 1/5 — Have to pay for polyrhythms

*2020-12-07*

You have to pay if you want polyrhythms. I.e. the feature it is NAMED FOR  is NOT AVAILABLE to use

To the response:
They let you “try” it for about ten beats then it stops

**Developer response:** All functions of the app can be tried in the free version, including polyrhythms, as stated in the app description.

### 2/5 — Why Did You Remove Tuner?

*2020-05-18*

I paid for the pro version 3 months ago and was enjoying the app, and then you removed the tuner (which I paid for added features on) and now the app is mediocre. I would be pleased if you gave me back the tuner I paid for.

### 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

### 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。

### 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.

### 1/5 — Polyrhythm app needs you to pay for polyrhythm 🤦‍♂️ hard to use

*2024-07-09*

Polyrhythm app needs you to pay for polyrhythm 🤦‍♂️ hard to use

### 1/5 — Crascia

*2024-03-21*

Si sovraccarica e dopo 3/4 cicli si chiude o si blocca.
Se non fosse per questo sarebbe ottima

### 1/5 — Not as precise as they lead you to believe

*2024-02-05*

This app is similar to Metronome Pro in that it features polyrhythms but this app is not precise it lags behind the beat and for that reason I’m out. Very flexible interface and setting up time signatures and polyrhythms is a breeze. Such a shame it falters on the most important quality and that is its lack of precision. The app will freeze if the tempo is above 300 and you switch from standard mode to polyrhythms.  Another annoyance is that it stop every time you make a change such as turning the accent on or off. I wish this a keeper but for now its not happening.

### 5/5 — Excellent but:

*2025-05-27*

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

### 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

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2022-10-22*

This app is a comprehensive rhythm practice tool! Limitless combinations can be easily programmed in and practiced with. Great sounds…unique visual interface.

### 5/5 — Excellente app

*2022-09-21*

Je l’utilise souvent et j’adore. Tempo un peu fragile lors d’une subdivision de 10 et +.
Si je peux me permette une suggestion: pouvoir désactiver le son du beat 1 et laisser seulement ceux choisis pour la polyrhythmie. Merci :)

### 5/5 — Thanks for fixing the fixes!

*2020-02-10*

Back to drumming with poly tempo clicks! 😎🥁🤘and thanks for keeping in touch!

**Developer response:** Dear JohnRTruman, thank you for the positive feedback.

### 5/5 — So much better than a deposit stand

*2020-01-12*

This I’m really getting. It’s easy to set up and helping. A lot. Convenient too.

### 5/5 — BEST METRONOME APP on the market

*2019-02-21*

The only app I found with Polyrhythms clicks. That’s all that’s needed to be said.

### 3/5 — Découverte

*2024-05-06*

Je découvre ce métronome il est génial

### 3/5 — NOT FREE

*2021-07-01*

It seems like a good app on the surface but in order to *practically* use the app you have to pay the hefty price of 6aud and we all know music students (the target demographic) are broke…

### 3/5 — erfüllt nicht was es verspricht

*2020-06-16*

+1) Es ist ein Metronom, und das Plätschern der Tropfen gefällt mir.
-2) Es gibt keinen Einzähltakt; das kann man nicht damit ausgleichen, daß man einen Takt zusätzlich eingibt, sonst muss man nach jedem Durchlauf einen Takt pausieren =das ist Sinnlos.🙄
-3) Die Polyrhythmik funktioniert nicht parallel für den ganzen Takt, sondern man kann sie nur seriell in je einem Viertel X-tolen einfügen 😤.
-4) Wenn man zwischen gespeicherten Übungstracks wechseln möchte, muss man jedesmal die Taktart extra neu eingeben 🤦🏻‍♂️
-5) Die Töne der Polys sind schlecht aufeinander abgestimmt, kein zusammengehöriger Stil.
+6) Die App läuft wieder! 👍
+8) hoffentlich gibt es dafür Updates..
