This is going to be a pretty straight-forward app but other time signatures would be great. ### 5/5 — So Simple and Easy! *2022-10-22, version 1.6.0* This app is exactly what you need. So good! ### 5/5 — Excellent!! *2022-09-27, version 1.6.0* Is perfect to use as a simple metronome, the tone is great, easy to use and listen for a long period of time, not annoying at all. Has all the features that a musician needs, and it’s free!! thanks to all the people who work on this app!! ### 5/5 — Minimale ma... onesta *2022-08-06, version 1.6.0* Cercavo un'App metronomo semplice e "gratis". Questa lo è. Ha solo un numero limitato di "tempi" (diciamo i più comuni) ma fa il suo lavoro e, soprattutto, non propone insistentemente né abbonamenti né l'acquisto di una versione "full". Ho messo 5 stelle nonostante sia proprio "minimale", perchè fa esattamente quello che cercavo! Thanks a lot to PEDRO TACLA YAMADA!!! Nota per chi usa schede audio collegate al MAC: per sentire il "tac" nel monitor della scheda (o in cuffia) bisogna attivare il tasto "TAP". Altrimenti si sente sempre negli altoparlanti del MAC anche selezionando come default l'uscita della scheda audio! ### 3/5 — Too simple *2022-08-06, version 1.6.0* Good metronome, really nice one. But... why click sound going thru macbook speakers only? If whole sound is going thru the external USB audio interface click is still going thru speakers with no chance to change it? Anyway, good job! Thanks. ### 5/5 — Works fine! *2022-07-11, version 1.6.0* Just downloaded and tried it out. Works fine on my old Mac tower, OS 10.13, High Sierra. Options for time signature are 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4, and “None” to get an unaccented click. For 6/8 just use a fast 3/4, although that’s a bit different. Tempo settings range from 30 to 250 bpm (beats per minute). “Tap” works by clicking on the named button with your mouse, and the app will figure what tempo you are indicating and click at that speed. ### 5/5 — Simple, useful *2022-06-18, version 1.6.0* Works fine, looking forward to future updates! Thanks! ### 5/5 — VERY GOOD *2022-03-13* It is the best metronome on the app store. ### 3/5 — Almost... *2022-02-01, version 1.2* There is no simple and free metronome in whole appstore. This app almost made it, it does exactly what you want – counts in proper tempo and rhytm, selected in simple, minimalistic interface. BUT THE SOUND IS SOOOOO AWFUL, it's kinda 8-bit NES style plaese, make it sound good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Sembrerebbe ok... *2023-04-17, version 1.11.0* ...ma la lettura dei dettagli Privacy mi ha fatto cambiare idea. ### 1/5 — Only 4/4 *2022-01-29, version 1.0* No option to have one simple beat tone. Works great if you are in 4, but that's it. ### 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 ### 2/5 — Does not adjust audio output *2022-11-21, version 1.6.0* I wanted the app to follow the audio output I selected, but it would remain only on the Internal Speaker. Not useful for me. ### 2/5 — Ridiculously inaccurate *2022-07-24* This metromome, has a gerat ui, but there is no option to change sound, and it is stuck on one sound. Also, the metronome is waaay off, as I have compared it to a irl metronome and another trusted metronime. Do not get **Developer response:** Hello, sounds can now be changed on v1.7 It’d be incredibly helpful if you could record a video of your accuracy issues and send it to me. You can find contact / issue forms on the app’s support link. Thank you ### 2/5 — Unusable Sound *2022-02-02, version 1.2* The app works fine, but it produces a long, irritating tone (long for a click, not a long tone.) No adjustable sounds, can't use this ### 3/5 — Nice Metornome But Privacy Concerns *2023-02-19, version 1.8.0* Metronome works well - no complaints there. However, as someone else reported, the app "phones home" a lot. I've blocked the app's internet access with little snitch, but there really should be a way in the metronome itself to opt out of being tracked. Would give 5 stars but for privacy concerns. ### 3/5 — works fine, but why does it call home? *2023-01-11, version 1.6.0* Seems to work fine, quite simple but I don't really need complexity in a metronome. What concerns me a little is that it regularly tries to access the internet, for some reason (as reported by Lulu firewall). Can't imagine why a metronome would need internet access. I've blocked it at it continues to work ok... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Does the job! *2023-09-24, version 1.11.2* Looking forward to new updates! ### 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? ### 5/5 — Works great *2023-02-07, version 1.8.0* Just what I needed. Could use a little UI improvement; I want to adjust the tempo using the arrow keys (right arrow to increase, left arrow to decrease). As long as there's a history I'd like to be able to edit it (delete items, apply titles); would also be nice if clicking on a history item could instantly set the metronome to that tempo (and perhaps other attributes like volume and sound style)... although at that point it's less history and more a preset manager/library or something.... ### 5/5 — Simple...PERFECT *2023-02-01, version 1.8.0* All I wanted was a simple no frills metronome to pair with bluetooth buds so I can record myself on another devic and play back. Thank you. ### 5/5 — muy util *2023-01-27, version 1.7.0* una app muy util para musicos, y ademas gratuito, buena interfaz, sugerencia: poder funcionar stop o start con spacekey . ### 5/5 — Great metronome app *2022-12-17, version 1.6.0* Excellent easy visibility display. Love the way each beat fades gently. Ability to customise sounds and keyboard shortcuts would be stellar. ### 5/5 — Simple et efficace *2022-11-09* Ce logiciel est très simple et c’est ce qui est agréable. Dommage qu’on ne puisse pas changer le son. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
