PolyNome: THE Metronome

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. I understand why seeing a subscription option after purchasing the app could be frustrating if you weren’t expecting it. To clarify, the App Store description does explain which features require Premium, and the core app is fully usable without a subscription. A lot of musicians use the basic version every day for things like saving unlimited presets, programming virtually any rhythm, creating instant polyrhythms, and much more. Premium adds a huge collection of advanced tools that go far beyond a typical metronome app. Features like Song Maps let you map the structure of songs or YouTube videos, slow down and loop sections for practice, create lead sheets, automate tempo and time signature changes, track practice time and goals, print band setlists, and a lot more. Many of those features could honestly be standalone apps on their own. The subscription is what allows me to continue developing new features, maintaining the app, and providing personal support to musicians who need help getting the most out of it. There’s also a free 1-month Premium trial included, which gives plenty of time to properly explore those advanced features and decide whether they’re valuable for your workflow. Depending on your use case, the app can save countless hours of setup, rehearsal stress, and manual practice work. One other thing worth mentioning is that the subscription price you’re seeing is in AUD, not USD, which makes a fairly significant difference for users outside Australia. I genuinely appreciate you trying PolyNome, and I’m always open to feedback on how the app and pricing can be communicated more clearly. Best, Joe
