The ONLY metronome app

I’ve been using PolyNome for over 10 years now and I can say it is simply the best metronome app one could ever ask for. Any feature you could think of has been considered and developed to an outstanding standard. Then, Joe will create features you wouldn’t even think of but become essential tools, such as the new random tempo feature in the newest update (July 2026). Joe is always working hard to improve what he has already done and the customer support is second to none. I don’t know how he even has time to do it all. This app goes so far and beyond what a metronome is capable of or traditionally used for and has become a fully comprehensive practice tool. I honestly can’t imagine where I’d be without it and can say with full confidence that I would be much less of a musician if it weren’t for PolyNome. Couldn’t recommend more!

Polynome - Exceptional

I have been using this app for quite a few years now and it has been my go-to app for all things drum rhythm - Just get in and use it and you will soon see how beneficial it is to your learning and performance. The recent upgrade has enhanced it further again and any problems navigating your way thru are promptly dealt with by Jo him self, should you not find the answer in the well documented FAQ section and accompanying videos. Well done Jo, keep up the great work.

Amazing

This app helps so much with figuring out tricky patterns & all my practice needs. The reason it gets a 4 star is because sadly, you cannot input nestled tuplets(such as 5:6 inside a ninelet).

Notifications Ruin Otherwise Great App

Paying $10 for something typically means that they will leave you alone to enjoy using the app that you paid for. If the notifications, prompts, ads, and questions etc. continue I’ll probably be switching to an alternative that allows me to practice in peace. This would have been a five start review otherwise.
