### 5/5 — Simple but sufficient

*2025-03-31, version 1.11.2*

A simple, convenient and free metronome. I liked the sounds.
Unlike other popular free metronomes, this one reacts instantly to parameter changes, rather than playing a full beat.

### 5/5 — Simple and useful

*2024-04-30, version 1.11.2*

It's very easy to use, has good sounds and has a very useful "bpm history" function.

### 4/5 — Please add 6/8 time

*2024-04-16, version 1.11.2*

I know I can just use 3/4 but 6/8 would be perfect. This is going to be a pretty straight-forward app but other time signatures would be great.

### 2/5 — No emphasis?

*2023-12-24, version 1.11.2*

I could be wrong but there’s no emphases on the first beat if your playing with different time sigs

### 1/5 — Does not work on Mac Studio M1 Ventura

*2023-12-20, version 1.11.2*

Would like a refund and would also request that the page not say that it will work on the Mac Studio.  
Also, I purchased "Simple Metronome" but the download was for "TempoPerfect", which I used to use with Monterey and loved, but I already knew doesn't work with Ventura.  How do I arrange for refund?  Thank you.

### 5/5 — Nice and Simple

*2023-11-24, version 1.11.2*

Excellent functionality and non-intrusive. Arrow keys tempo adjustment is great. I wish it could be "pinned" as top level window while using other programs.

### 1/5 — There’s no sound in the app

*2023-11-18, version 1.11.2*

Tried: deleting, changing tones, volume on app all the way up, vol on phone all the way up, restarting phone, etc.

Opened another metronome app; works perfectly.

### 5/5 — Does the job!

*2023-09-24, version 1.11.2*

Looking forward to new updates!

### 1/5 — Sembrerebbe ok...

*2023-04-17, version 1.11.0*

...ma la lettura dei dettagli Privacy mi ha fatto cambiare idea.

### 5/5 — Perfect Metronome

*2023-04-05, version 1.11.0*

It's simple and lightweight, I use it for my daily practice and works great.

The tempo is saved when you finish, so when you open it again it will show the previous tempo.

If it also saved the sound I'm using from one session to the other it would be, wonderful could you implement that please?
